 Sweet Young Things.

 Talk about hard lucA," said the girl with hot chocolate. "I know a wo- man who had an awful thing happen to her over in New York"
 'Oh, do tell me about it." gurged t1e girl with the ice cream soda.
 " "We..' went on the chocolate girl, "sAe's not wealthy at all, you know, "'-. .'.- @ keep nurse ~~ ara day, when she had To 20 down town shopping. she took her baby and left it at one of these day nursery creche places.

 Good gracious!" said the girl with the ice cream soda, looking shocked. "What did she do?"
 "Well," went on the chocolate girl "they told her she coul Int take the baby without check, and she'd have to wait hIl the other babies were taken away, and then she could have what was left So she waited for hours and hours, till all the babies were gone but one. and when she went to get that well the only baby left was coIored baby"
 "Oh, how perfectly awful" exclaimed the girl with the Ice cream soda. in accents of horror. "What did she do? Wasn't she perfectly frantic? My good ness. how horrible! Didn't she ever get her baby back again? l should think she'd haNe been perfectly crazy What did she do?"

 Washington, August l2.-The ord inance departmento of the army has suc- reeded at last in securing smokeless powder adapted for use in Springfield rifles, with which nearly all the volun- teer troops are armed. The powder used with small bore and repeating rifles was too powerful and special powder had to be procured. IhIs now is coming in from the manufacturers and is being turned into fixed ammuni- ton in such quantities as to warrant the belief that even should the war continue our soldiers would not be again exposed to the danger eucoun- tered at the battle of Fl Caney through

A Bloody Duel.
Albuquerque Democrat

i-atlll li-li I.ie Dem. cl-t
 The code duello has been revived in Fl Paso. Ramon Gomez and Antonio Nelarde, two Mexican cigar makers at Kohlberg's, brothers-in-law, the former having married the sister of the latter, met about 100 yards from the brick yard down the nver Friday morning at 11:30 and with sixshooters pumped lead at each other for few moments in very lively manner. The agreement was that the fight was to take place with the principals five paces apart, each to take his turn at shooting one shot each, and repeat until one or both were hors de combat. There were four or five shots fired when Gomez got hic in the leg, the ball breaking a small bone. Then Velarde ran up and began to beat the wounded man over the head with his pistol.
 J. H. Bone, the inspector at the lower bridge, then appeared and stopped the fight, arresting the principals and Pablo Alvarez, one of the seconds. Avelino Velarde, the other second, made hIs es- cape.
 The cause of the fight was some kind of family trouble, the nature of which the principals would not divulge. Go meg is about 26 years Of age and Ve larde about 24. They are men above the ordinary standing Tn the Mexican community. As dueIing is crime, terms in the penitentiary no doubt await the two principals in tkjs fight.
