Another Frenchwoman who earned I'M

Mile. dc Maupin, immortnlizcd by Theo-
philc Gnutcr. She was rcckonct the most
expert fcnccr of her time, and the famous
duclists thought twice before provoking IL
quarrel with her. She was an actress in
Paris, but she fell in love with a fencing
master and followed him to Marscillcs
There they disagreed, fought with swords
nnd she returned to Paris, leaving him t.,

One oil the few cases OH record of English
women as duclists is that of battle be
tween Lady Ai'i- ria Bradtlock and a MIS-.
EANh''stone, both of them leaders in Lon.
con society mt eho end of tho eighteenth
century. The quarrel arose over some crit
icisms which Mrs Elphinstono mado con-
corning Lady Braddock. History says that
these referred to the latters age.
Atany rate Lady Brnddock felt mortally
injured, land, following the fashion of her
masculine friends, sent IL challenge to Mrs.
Elphinstone. The latter did not care TO
carry the dispute to such u degree, but
some of her friends insisted upon her re
cepting. They told her she could select
pistols, and then there would be no posi-
BILE chance of either being hit
The duel was fought i'll Hyde park in
September of 1902, with pistols ut ten
yards. As was predicted, tho ladies fired
and neither was hit, although bullet
passed through the hat of Lady Almcria.
This quite unnc-vcd the latter, but infused
tremendous confidence in the heart of Mrs.
Elphinstone, who demanded that the duel
be continued with swords 10 her sur
prise, Lady Almeria accepted, and before
the new duel had lasted two minutes the
titled fighter succeeded in stnbbing her an
uoscnlst through the arm. That ended the
hfrray.
A eghting contemporary of the Cheva-
lierc DION was Nine. dc Chnstcau- Gay,
who, having been offended by ole of her
malo friends, challenged him. He was
borne wounded from the field after the
duel which followed. Nine. Chastcau-
Gays sister, Mime. In Douzc, went farther
yet. She fought l,cr own husband on the
field of honor. 1t seems the poor man and
she could not agree on some matter, and

They fought with swords, and he was

To Make Wolf XIII WOLF

A Western genius has made dis
covery which, if all that he claims for
1t be true, will settle the coyote and
wolf question for all time. The dis
ctovery consists of q yellowish- brown
liquid. The mode of determination is
to trap wolf or coyote alive and in
lect three drops OF the fluid beneath
the skin. This operation is repeated
three times in twelve hours, at the
end of which time the animal, with
green-eyed dilated pupils, frothing at
the mouth and raving mad, is released
aud turned loose. It lives from thirty
to forty hours, after being liberated,
but, like a dog with hydrophobia, it
bites everything that it comes in con-
tact with, and as every other wolfthus
bitten becomes inoculated, the poison
spreads and death follows at q rapid
tate. Il is cruel, perhaps, but sGso.
