MANY AUTHORS COMPOSE IN BED.
Some of the Best Ideas Come to One
While Half Awake.
(From Pearson,s Weeklyl

Most people, if asked the question,
would say that "bed" was the place
to rest in, not to work. And though this
is true of the great majority of people,
there is still a decent modicum left who
find bed" a very congenial place in
which to do their work, or a great part
of it, and who, in fact do not disguise
the truth that they can work there very
effectively.
This plan was followed by the great
poet Campbell. who tells us that he lay
awake thinking of his projected poem
"Lochiel," when there came into his
mind, with other poetic thoughts, the
idea of the shadows in the room show
ing up" as the day began to break, and
he at once jumped out of bed and wrote
down what has since become world
wide proverb. Coming events cast
their shadows before
Many writer's owe much of their sue
cess to clever plots and articles which
have been begun, worked out, and fin
ally set into proper form during the
time that their authors lay between the
blankets. The writings afterward have
often been merely mechanism. and even
much of that was done in bed; the set
ting of the plot and the dialogue was
the chief thing, as most writer's know
too well.
II trust you'll excuse me-" said a
celebrated doctor lately to a friend
who had called to see him early, and
who, on being asked to go up to his bed
room. found the physician enjoying the
comfort of the sheets. Kindly sit

done answering these letters. / have

That students often burn the mid

men all working in bed, with note

n DUEL WITH KNIVES

A knife duel took place yesterday morn
ing in the Campo Florido between Frans-
cisco Aispuroz and Enrique Arana, both
of whom belong to the lower orders, says
the Mexican Herald 1t appears that these
two individuals were formerly good
friends, but owing to their offlcious ac-
quaintances' mischief making, feeling Of
enmity had sprung UP, with the result
that things eliminated in a desperate
quarrel, The bad feeling had lasted about
a month when the two men met, and al
ter mutually insulting each other, 1t was
decided that the matter should be fought
out in a duel with knives, and the spot
mentioned above was agreed upon as the
scene of the combat. The terms OF this
singular duel were extremely simple !;
neither of the adversares was to be all
llowed to leave the field of honor until one
of them should be killed. The two COM
batants arrived at the appointed rendez-
Vous punctually at the hour agreed on,
and the struggle commenced, which
proved to be a most bloody one, and ter
minated with fatal results for Arana, who
received a tremendous stab in the left
fall back Immediately IN a dying condi-
ton. AispuroZ tried to escape, but was
captured by the gendarme No. 1880 named
Reyes Trujillo, who got to know of the
matter from some one who had witnessed
the duel. Wounder and wounded were
both conducted to the police office,
whence the latter was taken on a stretch

wound. Asipuroz is detained incommuni-
cado in order that the authorities may
prove the matter thoroughly

OF the line officers, q had been before
the court, 20 of whom testified in eX
act concurrence with the field and staff
officers.
THE letters of Capt. Cotton, Lieut..
Huencker, Maj. Roudiez, speak for
themselves. If nothing more was in
troduced in this case than those three
letters, they would be enough TO ex-
onerate Lieut.. Fennessey from all these
charges, in my opinion. But Lieut..
Fennessey demands something more.
You have seen him on the witness

Quoted himself under these most try

Fennessey something more than mere
generation. l ask and urge upon this
court that they give him commenda-

these groundless charges cannot be
wiped out with mere exoneration, hon
