Disapproves of Dueline.

Old Grand Duke Charles of SAKE
Weimar, brother-in-law of the late
Emperor William, and granduncle
therefore of the young Kaiser, is en-
tirely at variance with the latter on
the subject of 'dueling, an institution
of which he disapproves in the most
pronounced manner. The other day,
when dining at the mess of the Prus-
sian cavalry regiment that bears his
name, and of which he lis the honorary
chief, his attention was attracted to
an officer whose face was covered with
scars of sword cuts
"How many times have you been
on the field?" inquired the aged grand
duke. Sixteen times" was the re-
Spouse of the captain, and it was given
with certain amount of swagger.
What much better use you might
have made of your Time" retorted the
prince, and with the exclamation of
"What fool!' he turned his back
upon the officer, who remained literal
~ open-mouthed with establishment.

she not do well to weigh and meas

inquiries Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney. "Are
you capable in any marked and special
degree for one particular pursuit and
use? Is it right and feasible, in the
apparent proyidential ordering, that
you should take time and money to fit
and equip yourself for it and then can
you reasonably expect chances and
scope to do your chosen errand? Is
there need of others to meet, need of
your own to supply? Answer truly.
Do not resolve ito be this or that be-
cause you think it a pretty thing to
be, or because some one else has sue
ceeded in it. 1t may have been her
work, and yet not be yours. A young
girl once wrote me, Il had set my heart
on being an sauthoress. If cannot be
one my life will be failure Her let
ter and the specimens of authorship
inclosed were themselves argument for,
at, least, very patient study and prac-
tice. She needed, also, to live longer
and deeper before she would find true
message to deliver. I told her so in the
solicited answer. I tell them SO, for
this was only one appeal of many. To
you others who only have little more
time and money and would like some
thing to busy you and help fill your
portemonnaie, there are different
things to say. Compare your need with
that of others before you take up occu-
patton that may be their livelihood.
To intrude into a crowded rank of
workers only to add a pleasure or an
elegance to your comforts would be ex-

to get at the men. Cadmus spied a
hoe lying on the ground and as he
started to get it the snake spied him
and gave chase. Round they ran until
Cadmus was sufficiently in the lead to
stop and pick up the hoe. Then began
battle royal. For nearly ten minutes
the snake eluded the blows and made
attempts to reach Cadmus, but at last
a lucky blow broke the snakes back,
and he was stretched out on the
ground. He measured over five feet in
length.

VIII Gusrd Bullion Cars Against west.
sern Train Robbers.
It would be odd II Frank James.
Jesse's brother, were to die at the
hands of train robbers who followed
in his early footsteps! It may come
to pass, too.
For now that oft quoted bit of ad-
vice, sSet a. thief to catch a thief,''
has been needed by the express COM
panies who carry fortunes through the
southwestern states in their strong
boxes, and who lose them sometimes at
the hands of desperadoes. .f
Frank James, whose career of crime
is, perhaps, second to that Of his no.
torious brother Jesse, is to accept a
position as special express messenger,
| duty being no other than that of meet
ing train robbers at their own game.
Frank James is no longer young, but
he can still shoot with both hands and
shoot straight. But it is not on that
account alone that his services are in
demand. The men who have made
| him an offer have decided that the rep
| utation which the man won as a des-
| perado when the band which he and
his brother led was the dreaded scourge
| of several states, will prove better
| safeguard for their bullion than even
his ready revolver.
Indeed, it has been said, and with
some foundation, that if Jesse James
had needed his brothers warning he
would never have been shot down by
Ford, whom he trusted so fully that
he removed his pistol belt and turned
his back to him only to receive his
death wound. Frank James had said:
thrust no one when the price on
your head is big enough to make a man
rich"
| He is willing to become watchdog
and guard bullion for living provid
ed the men who wish to employ him
will agree to his terms.
It'll take the job" he told them,
''and any one who gets the money
from the car I'm riding in will get it
over my dead body. But I've been
supporting my family and little more,
and if go under want to be sure they
will be provided for.
"Now I'll tell you what I'll do. You
sign an agreement by which they are
to get $4,000 in case I'm killed, and
I'm your man. know enough about
some of them to be sure that they can
still shoot little, even if the business
isn't what it used to be-"
So the man whose name was once
feared throughout several states is
now waiting to see if the expressmen
will play $4,000 against his stake,
which is his life. 1t will be strange in
deed, if the former desperado, the
brains of the most bloodthirsty set of
outlaws this country has ever known,
stands on the side of law against men
who regard him and his brother as
patterns to be followed, kansas City

A REMARKABLE REQUEST.
A California Man Provides for Annu.

A California Man Provides for Annus
ally Giving School Children Candy.
A modern Santa Claus truly was
George W.. Teasdale, one of the early
settlers of Oakland, Cal, and when he
died, twenty-three years ago, there was
found provision in his will which will
ever keep his memory green among
the school children of Los Gatos. The
sum Of 5000 was ordered to be deposited
in the bank at San Jose, the annual in
terest from which was to be drawn
on Memorial day and invested in
candy, which would be equally dis
tributed among the boys and girls at
tending the public schools of Los Ga
tos. The only request made in connec-
ton with the bequest was that his little
friends would see that his grave was
never neglected or destroyed. On every.
Memorial day the children cover the
Teasdale grave with the choicest
flowers. For the first few years after
Mr.. Teasdale's death the exact terms
of the will were carried out, and the
annual interest amounting to over $50
furnished a sufficient supply for the
youngsters. But the juvenile popula-
ton of Los Gatos, under the benefcent
influences of the glorious climate OF
California, grew so rapidly that the
annual amount was found insufficient
to sweeten the palates of the host.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.

Susan was a gray girl. She was a
perfect poem in gray. Her eyes were
deep, twilight gray; her skin the cream
gray of the white flesh about blue
birds beak; her eye that drab dark
brown which is noticeable in the Eyes
of Welsh girls, and her eyelashes such
tint of chestnut gray as ornamented
the name of the famous racehorse Sir
William.
Susan was full of gray moods, and
her favorite position was to sit half
bent over in one Of the guests chairs
in the aforesaid emporium with Paris
creation upon her fair head and to gaze
out of the window.
People came and people went, and
they wondered that such a beautiful
girl was not fairly carried away by

arts. An artist who went to the shop
to sketch hats and bonnets raved over
Susan, but Susan didn't mind. To all
his compliments she only smiled a
cold, gray, far-away smile that could
be easily interpreted. Susan interested
an author one time enough to have her
question the girl and find out why she
always wore such a pensive look and
seemed altogether removed from her
environment.
She found that Susan was all alone
in the world; that she came from a
good English family; that she was
obliged to cross the ocean to earn her
living; that she cared little for dress
and worldly things.
After becoming better acquainted
with Susan she learned that most of
the girls female relatives had been
nuns.
Susan said to her one afternoon,
when they were friends: II have per-
feet horror of ever becoming a nun
myself, but day after day the idea
grows upon me, and I am sure that
some line morning l shall go to the
sisters and ask them to take me in.
