The Iron Duke Reasons.

IT is told of the Duke of Wellington
that he was once out fox hunting, when
the hounds on reaching the bank of Il
small river lost the scent. The master
of the hounds apologlzed to the Duke.
I'm afraid. your Grace, our fun is
over. The dogs can't pick up the
scent"
Ten to one" replied the Duke, "the
fox has crossed to the other side"
''Not very likely, my Lord. a fox
hates water"
AYE, aye" urged the Duke, ''but no
may have crossed over by some
bridge"
II don't believe there is bridge"
answered the master of the hounds.
well" continued the Duke, "unless
you know to the contrary, though
was never here before. will wager a
trifle you will find one within mile"
The two men. followed by tire hdnt,
pushed on and less than milo off came
upon a rudely constructed bridge. The
dogs crossed it, again took up the scent
and killed the fox. Asked for his rea-
son for asserting that there was a
bridge near, he answered.: Il saw
three or four cottages clustered to-
gether on each bank of the river, and
| thought the people living in them
would be tempted by their social feel
ings to contrive n means of visiting
each other. That same Inference OF

REMARKABLE RECOVERY
OF a Young Lady of Gasport, New York,
from AnaemIa.


From he Courier, Buffalo, NJ T.
Miss Lulu Stevens, daughter OF George
Stevens, the well-known blacksmith, OF Gas
port, Niagara, County. New York, has sur
prised her neighbors considerably, by not
dying Eve months ago. whom the physicians
said she could not live.
This was quite a remarkable case. The
young woman, who Is very we'll known, on
account OF her musical ability. had been a
very healthy girl. until about one year ago,
when she began TO fail, and grew so pale
and apparently bloodless and so weak that
after few months she was given up to die.
Last winter a physician who was a visitor
at Gasport met Miss Stevens, and seeing her
emaciated condition, and hearing from the
local doctors that tho disease was anaemia,
prevailed on the girls mother to make her
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Directly she
commenced the treatment she began to
mend, and now since February, when she
decided to take them, she has become well
and strong AMI the picture OF good health.
The mother Of the girl, Mrs. Stevens, says.
every one in Gasport knows that Pink
Pills cured Lulu, aud feel very thankful
that we heard OF them in time to save my
child's life"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, In a con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also q
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, Irregularities and all
forms OF weakness. They build up the blood
and restore the glow of health to pale and
salow checks. In men they affect a radical
cure in all cases arising from mental worry,
overwork or excuses OF whatever nature.
Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose
bulk) at so cents box or six boxes for
g. 80, and may lie had of all druggists, or

Interesting Notes About Duels and
DueilinR.

futerestinx Notes About Duels and
Due1linR.
Even in Germany the popularity OF
the duel is open to some doubt. Its ex-
istence is due not so much to desire
for a combat as of fear what people
will say If there is no fight. There
have been noted duelists who were al
ways ready for fray, and when they
entered a drawing-room women quail
ed and hoped it would not be their hus-
bands or lovers who would be SO I'M
lucky as to excite the ire Of the men OF
blood.
During the occupation Of Paris by
the Allies there were duels every day,
the Frenchmen usually being the chal-
lengers and the victors, as they were
very skillful with the small sword.
Sometimes, however, they made mis-
take, as when they jeered at an En-
glish officer over losing his leg at
Waterloo. The jeerer discovered that
the loss of his leg did not Interfere IN
the least with the Englishman's aim.
There have been exceptions to the
mania for fighting at any price. An En-
gIish captain. challenged by French
man, had the choice OF weapons and
chose pistols. The Frenchman declar-
ed he would fight with nothing but the
sword and interested friends finally
COMPROMISED on lances. ahorsehack.
The combat naturally attracted much
attention. A great crowd witnessed
the duel One man received three ugly
prods but finally killed his antagonist.
No duelist could ever be made 10
smile over the famous story of the En-
glishman and Frenchman who were to
fight duel in a pitch-dark room. Not
wishing to kill his man, the English
man fred up the chimney when the
word was given, and. to his surprise,
brought down the Frenchman, who
had hidden there. When this story is
told in France it is always the En-
glishman who is up the chimney.
Fighting Fitzgerald was successful
in eighteen duels before 1t was discov-
cred that he always wore coat of
mail. For years his fame in society
had rested on his fnyarlaDie success as
a duelist, and this discovery was his
undoing. A certain major in fighting
him objected when his sword snapped
on heart-thrust and demanded an III
vestigation. He was afterward hang
ed in Ireland for numbering a neigh
Dor.
The most tragic duel in England was
between Lord Byron, grand-uncle of
the poet, and kinsman. 1t was fought
in tavern room by the light of one
tallow candle. Lord Byron was tried
for murder, but got off on manslaugh-
ter. from the penalties of which he es-
capped because he was n peer of the
realm. This safeguard of peers was
done away with only during the pres
/ ent reign.-Chicago News.

The Most Valuable Spots on E-.yrt.l.
Probably the most valuable spots on
the face of the earth las the burial-stea
in Westminster Abbey cannot be
bought with gold are the four corners
where Wall street touches Broad, and
the two where 1t meets Broadway. l
cannot guess how large price any one
Of these might bring in the market
now; but a million dollars and half a
million more were recently paid for
i've lots on Broadway opposite Bowl
ing Green. This was the value of the
land alone, as the old buildings 1t bore
were at once to be torn down; vet, says
Philip Hone, lot in just this place sold
in 1920 for only $4,000 AS late as
1910 lots on Cortlandt street could be
had for $1,000, or even for $500 But

erty street and Nassau, measuring sew
enty-nine feet along the one, 112 along
the other, and about 100 feet in depth,

The Rev. Anna Shaw sc Chicago hope


SIS The Rev.Anna Shaw Of Chicago hopes
soon to be appointed 3 policeman. &
would rather be policeman than be
president, she says. ..The. one crying
reform that is now needed lin New York
and Chicago is 200 unframed women
policemen to walk the streets. II Mr..
Van Wyck or Mayor Harrison had the
knowledge Of existing sociological con-
ditions which they ought to have, and
which | hope their successors will have,
woman should he an active police Off
Ger. If these gentlemen want to know
where to find women to fill the places,
and fill them we'll, I could tell them.
From the ranks Of the Salvation Army
and the American Volunteers could be
obtained on short notice 200 women,
whose presence on the streets Of Chicago
in uniform would do more toward thi
elimination of crime than many times
the number of men,"
The conservative Philadelphia Ledger,
which is still run on Childs' lines, adds
itself to the list of Republican papers,
including the New York Sun and Phila-

ate overhauling of the revenue laws, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer. What it says
is worth patient r. aling: 4 -
If the United States treasury deficit of
almost 100000 for the fiscal year to
date does not convince congress of the
necessity of either rigorous retrenchment
and economy in the matter of govern
ment expenditures or Of providing addl-
tional revenue to meet extravagant ap-
preparations, it is unlikely that anything
will do so. Or if congress should not
promptly recognize that the .Dingley
tariff is disastrous failure as revenue
measure, or as a measure for the pro.
lection of domestic labor, it will fail to
recognize clearly demonstrated fact.
