PARRIED "A CHALLENGE.

How = Clever Young lawyer Got Out Of
Fighting : Duel.
a good story is told Of q young law
yer in this city. One Of his first cases
was claim against creole gentle man,
who agreed to pay q certain amount
each month. The first Of the first month
after the agreement came and went, the
creole gentleman forgetting to remit.
The young lawyer waited several days.
and then wrote a letter. II had one viz
tue-it was emphatic. It was not 80
polite as it was emphatic, however, and
within an hour Of its delivery to the
creole gentl eman two Of his friends CALI
ed upon the young lawyer with mess
age, which, freely translated, meant
!" You have the privilege of naming the
weapons. Z 5 55@ s
For moment the young lawyer was
genuinely alarmed. He had heard that
the creole gentleman was dead shot
and equally fatal with the sword. He
wanted to avoid trouble, but did not
feel that the circumstances justified him
in pleading professional privilege when
he had virtually called man a beat.
Then there came to his mind that he
had somewhere read that a gentleman
could not grant duel to any one who
owed him money, and he haughtily said
so to his callers.
They instantly Withdrew. An hour
passed. It was an hour Of anguish to
the young lawyer. Then there came
again the cards Of tue two friends Of
the offended creole gentleman. A min
ute later they were in the lawyer
office, and he had written out q receipt
for the full amount Of the claim against
the creole gentleman. Is
"And now, sir, said the chief sec
ond Of the creole gentleman to the young
lawyer, "what is your answer to our
principals demand?''
My answer, gentlemen, is this: ]
formed the hasty conclusion that your
principal did not intend to pay. what
considered a just debt, and I SO ex.
pressed myself. He has paid the debt.

beg to assure him, through you, that
will willingly offer him any apology

MANNING THE YARDS.

Used to Be.

A Naval Ceremony That Is Not What It
Used to Be.
In the old navy, when United States
ships were actually ships with yards.
the bos'n's mates call, ''All hands
cheer shipv' was followed by much
more picturesque ceremony than is pos
sible now, when the vessels Of the navy
are. fitted with but single yard and
that only used for signaling. At the
word of command "Man the yards -
there was an amount of acrobatio sour
rying on the main decks Of the old ships
that was calculated to make the ship
visitor hold his breath, the thing look
ed SO dangerous. The men forward II
bluejacket uniform would fairly leap
up the rope ladders, and almost by the
time the echoes Of the command had
died away every yard on each mast
would support scores Of men and boys,
all standing erect, most Of them only
held up by the crossed arms Of the men
beside them. This representation Of q
CROSS was held by all Of the men, and
it was their business to stand thus with
absolute statuesqueness. Then the COM
mand ..Cheer ship!'' would be bawled
out on deck by the chief bos'n's mate,
and there would pc a yell from cathead
to mizzen that couldn't help but warm
the blood of everybody within hearing
Of it. When the men manned the yards
with all sail except topsails and stunsails
set, such picture was really beautiful,
the mems uniforms of blue standing out
in sapphirelike contrast to the cameo
wilderness Of the shrouds. This was q
ceremony on all formal occasions, such
as the visit aboard the old ships Of dis
tinguished men. And ''Man the yards!''
and "Cheer shipl were commands al
ways given when one Of the old clippers
of the United States navy was either de-
parting for or arriving from foreign
station. " Washington Star.

A Stunned Coal Hole.

Down on South Clark street, about
100 feet north Of Madison, there is on
the west side Of the street coal hole
shaped like coffin. Originally the
opening was not different from any other
coal hole. It was of ordinary size, and
was closed with hexagonal cover.
Then a large piece Of the stone was
broken off the sidewalk, enlarging the
hole to a great extent. When the stone
was replaced BY a sheet of iron, the
'hexagonal opening was elongated, so
that the shape Of coffin was formed.
Then the pedestrians along South Clark
street had their troubles.
1t is asserted that attention was first
called to the ominous hole in the side
walk when q man had his leg sprained
by q misstep on the cover. A number Of
persons witnessed the accident, and at
the same time noted the peculiar shape
Of the cover. Il was not long before ev-
eryb body seemed to be aware Of the cas-
ketlike figure. Now, any one who
watches the crowds that daily pass
along CLARK street, near Madison, will
be attracted by their actions when they
walk near the coal hole. All the men
keep q safe distance from the awe In
spring object. while the women care
fully raise their skirts as they walk
shyly away from the cover. To the cas-
nal observer these peculiar antics are nm
explainable, but the men and women
who are acquainted with the history Of
the coffin shaped cover are too wise to
place themselves in the power Of 8 the
evil eye. - Chipago Inter Ocean.

a man out at Rogers park broke his
leg 9 few months ago, and ii the setting
the doctor made some mistake, or else
the patient was at fault, for when it get
the bone joined improperly; and when
the man came to walk he found that
one leg was several inches shorter than
|. It shoua be. He was naturally very
much inconvenienced and bemoaned the
/ fact that he was to be a cripple for life.
/ One day while he. was alone at the
house woman book canvasser was adj
mitted. After she had failed to sell him
what she had she asked him what the
matter 2, was He told her and said that
he feared he would be aoripple for life

is no need Of that now since Christian

is doing greater things than that every
day. You would better go see healer. y
But there is none here, = replied the
man.
We'll, " said the woman, I'm some
thing Of q healer myself. can't stay
here, but I'll tell you what I'll do. Til
give you the absent treatment. You just
stay where you are, and I'll cure your
short leg" And she went away.
The man smiled, but he thought there
might be something in it after all. So
he began to have faith in the healer. In
9 few days, however, he had almost for
gotten all about it and joked with his
wife about the matter. At the end Of
two weeks he arose to standing posi-
tion and discovered to his great aston
ishment that his short leg was nearly
as long as the other. He was delighted.
That woman was all right, = he said
to his wife. and I have done her q
great Injustice in smiling in my disbe-
lief. . In fortnight more both legs
were Of equal length. He left his room
for the first time in several months and
went to business. He proudly showed
his leg to all his friends and told every
one Of the marvellous means by which
he recovered. Everything went we'll
for a time, but presently the man made
the astonishing discovery that the cured
limb was still growing In another two
weeks it was fully two inches longer
than the one which had not been broken
and that it was the well leg on which
he now limped.
This naturally worried him very
much. You see, there was no telling
where it would end. Then9he recollect-
ed, too, that he had no idea who the
healer was, or where he could find her.
He could not even remember the name
of the book she was trying to sell. And
that is how the matter now stands. The
mans leg is still growing. That woman
is still gadding around the country sell
ing books and giving him the absent
treatment. If he does find her, she will
have to begin on the other leg, and even
then the man will only be fit for the
dime museum. The mans faith in the
new science is still unbroken, but be
feels that the healers should be securely
anchored and kept within certain
bounds Chicago Chronicle.
