A Considerable Physician.

something to say to you. I hear you have
been treating me for liver complaint. when
as a matter of fact. you should have treat

DR.. Styx-"Oh. we'll. it shan't make any
difference to you
Patient-"Shan't make any difference to

was obliged to use his left hand in cock
ing his pistol. 1t was certainty a cool
and graceful movement with which he
performed this function. The pistols rang
out again almost simultaneously and the
men stood apparently unframed. Now,
however, Coleman had some trouble with
his revolver. He turned and faced his
antagonist trying to work his weapon.
Mulligan Saw that something was wrong
and was quick TO take advantage of it.
Before, he had stood with his right side
toward his antagonist when receiving his
pistol on his left ARM, took deliberate aim
before he fired.
"Honor" Satisfied With Blood.
Every one expected to see Coleman
drop in his tracks. but fate was kind or
Mulligan's aim was bad. for he was not
touched. Now one of the spectators saw
by the blood squirting from Coleman's
right hand that h. had been wounded by
Mulligan's second shot and that was the
reason that he could not work his re-
volver. He announced his discovery, de-
clared that to proceed with the affair
would be murder, as Coleman was at
MulliganS mercy, and drawing his pistol
swore that he would shoot the first of the
principals who would fire under the cir
cumstances. The other spectators backed
him with tongue and Weapon. and Il halt
was called in the proceedings. 1t was
found that Coleman's hand was so badly
crippled that it was impossible to con-
tinue on equal terms. and Mulligan con-
honor was effaced by the blood that
dropped from Colleman's good right hand
that hand that had slapped the Mulligan
face. Thus ended the first. and the writer
thinks the only. duel that ever took place
in Eastern Nevada. The principals were

TO SETTLE FAMILY QUARRELS.
Most Breaks Married People
Would lie Healed by Time II
Tine Had n Chance

From the Woman's Home Companion.
Most family Q~uarrels are FRACTIONAL dis
turbances that the oil of affection would
smooth out. If We but knew it. And most
breaks between married people could be
healed by time. If they would but give time
Il chance. Between n man and woman once
bound together by this tie there are mem
cries potent enough to draw them together
through CULTS of discord, if they have only
been wise enough TO be loyal to one another
in the respect of silence as to what belongs
TO themselves. 1t should be in the mar
rage service. if It would do any good, this
VOW of silence about each others faults.
The old formula, for better. for worse
means nothing to most who repeat II. They
mean in their hearts not to put up with
worse.
But we have to put UP with something
wherever we are in the world. and the
question Is. shall we not do better to stand
by our choice in life. like brave soldiers
loyal to their colors. and earn the respect
of the world. rather than exhibit the mis-
cries our poor judgment has brought upon
us. and gain only opprobrium in conse-
quence? For publicity doubles trouble.

On the Battlefield.

There was no effort on the part of the
authorities to interfere. The deputy
sheritfs resigned their offices that they
might attend. TO resume their duties
when the fight was over. and the sheriff
himself expressed his sorrow that he
could not send in his resignation with a
string to ii so that he also might par
ticipate. The would-be spectators made
arrangements with the town police to
be called betimes in the morning and re-
tired to rest. The ghostly dawn of that
autumn morning saw a procession of
about 300 men steal out of that little
mountain town and take their way down
the grade to the appointed battlefield.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

Savannah, Ga, January, 1S9S.-Brothers
of the Benevolent Association: In the
Providence of God, we are called upon
to pay our last tribute of respect to the
memory of a departed brother, associate
and friend.
Robert F. Burdell has departed from
time to eternity.
He died, after a brief illness, on Oct
2 1897. Passing away before reaching the
meridian of life
Mr.. Burdell came to Savannah only a
few years ago, from South Carolina, his
native state, but during his comparatively
short career in the home of his adoption
he made many personal friends. whose
hearts were made sad by his death.
As a business man, Mr.. Burden was
careful, energetic and courteous and few
young men attain the prominence and de-
gree of success which he achieved.
The grave is the heritage of all, and
the inexorable reaper, Death, is a 1e-
specter of none. but when its blighting
touch wthers the young and cuts .nem
down before the sunshine of youth has
begun to dim, and before the hopes which
bud in every heart have expanded to full
flower, it is especially deplorable. and
hard for US to say: THY will be done"
No words can comfort the hearts Of
those bereft who mourn his uutimely end.
but there is consolation to be drawn from
the thought that his life was upright, hon
orable and useful.
BE it. therefore, Resolved, That, in the
death of Mr.. Robert F. Burden, this as
ISOLATION loses a valued and faithful mem
Der whose merits were fully appreciated.
and whose loss we cordially and sincerely
mourn.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon a separate page of the min
utes of this association, and that a copy
be transmitted to the widow of our Ge-
ceased associate.
