PARRIED A CHALLENGE.
How a Clever Young Lawyer Got Out of
Fighting Duel.

Fighting n Duel.
A gool story is told of young law
yer in this city. One of his first cases
was claim against creole gentleman,
who agreed to pay certain amount
each month. The first of the first month
aftey the agreement came and went, the
creole gentleman forgetting to remit.
The young lawyer waited several days,
and then wrote letter. 1t had one vir-
tuo--it was emphatic. 1t was not so
polite as ii was emphatic, however, and
within an hour of its delivery to the
creole gentleman two Of his friends call
ed upon the young lawyer with mess
age, which, freely translated, meant
"You have the privilege Of naming tho
weapons
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 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. 1t was an hour of anguish to
the young lawyer. Then there came
again the cards of the two friends of
the offended creole gentleman. A min
ute later they were in the lawyer s
office, and he had written out receipt
for the full amount of the claim against
the creole gentleman.
"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 just debt, and l so ex-
pressed myself. He has paid the debt.
| recognize the seriousness of my mis-
Judgment Of him as gentleman, and
beg to assure him, through you, that
will willingly offer him any apology
which gentleman may SEQ fit to rd'
quiro of gentleman. New Orleans

A Tick1lsh Question.

G. M. writes to The Journal: "Should
you say, 4 made him cough 50, or 1
made him cough up $5?' "
This is ticklish question. Unfor-
tunately the slang dictionaries, even
Farmer and Henley's, do not know the
slang phrase. Nor is there any allusion
to it in the great Oxford dictionary.
Three centuries ago there was phrase
Ito cough (any one) daw, fool, nome, -
meaning "to make fool of, - also Ito
prove oneself a fool" but this "cough''
may have been the obsolete verb cough"
or "cotf," to purchase, acquire, get.
And five centuries ago "to cough also
meant "to utter, "to disclose, as IN
this sentence, "To make her confess the
things testified against her, and also to
cough out the rest"
We do not find anywhere~allusion to
this modern slang We ourselves regard
Cough up" as the proper expression
and we use it when we are moving III

MAKE THE MEN MARKET,

Woman Writer'S Bold Suggestion to
Help Weary Wives.
There are few things that exhaust a
woman more than days shopping
The average man looks upon a woman's
purchasing day" as one of pleasure,
but when he accompanies her on one Of
these shopping expeditions he goes
home, after his patience has been all ex-
hausted, with a different belief. He
learns, too, that woman can endure
vexations and disappointments with
much moro equanimity than he can,
and he mentally VOWS never to do it
again.
The number of miles traversed is
really what tires one, and it is little
wonder that the woman who does the
shopping fer herself and her entire fam
lily, AS well as the marketing and the
bargaining with the "butcher and bak-
or and cantllesticE MAKER should feel
tho need of rest for her tired nerves
The man of the house should always
do the marketing In the old days,

er troubled with the worries of house
hold purchasing, for the head of the
house did the entire buying, and
flames carried the parcels and was
not ashamed to do it.
No mother who has the caro- of little
children should give the precious morn
ing hours to anything else but the
nursery, nor should she let butchers
and grocers' boys call for and deliver
orders, because there is sure to be dis
satisfaction if she does. Some wealthy
families allow their chef to take charge
of the household, and he collects large
percentage from the tradesmen, which,
of course, is added to the monthly bill.
Reputable storekeepers will not do this
kind of business, however, and the chef
patronage" is controlled entirely by a
few men. On the whole, it is much
more satisfactory for the man of the
house to do the marketing. He will get
the best meat, have his orders promptly
attended to and save about 25 per cent

"Ain't got nome" was the prompt if

And reflect on my crimes
And refuse,

Is life ever right, never wrong2
Can we these matters arranged
Contrasts are welcome and pleasant
To peer, to poet or peasant,
And our moods as they pass,
Like the sand, through the glass,
II they re left to run out,
Very soon turn about,
And the thought in the face
Then to laughter gives place,
And gravity changes to mirth.
So then, my dear dad,

Nor sulky nor sad am ever,
Though just wee bit

Will possess me spite my endeavor.

NAMING THE YARDS.
A Naval Ceremony That Is Not What l
Used to BE.

A Naval Ceremony That Is Not What 1t
Used to BE.
In tho old navy, when United States
ships were actually ships with yards,
the bos'n's mates call, "All hands
cheer shp!" was followed by much
more picturesque ceremony than is pos
sible now, when the vessels of the navy
are fitted with but a single yard and
that only used for signaling. At the
word of command "Nlan the yards !"
there was an amount of acrobctic sour
rying on the main decks Of the old ships
that was calculated to make the ship
visitor hold bis breath, the thing look
ed SO dangerous The men forward in
bluejacket uniform would fairly leap
up the rope ladders, and almost by tho
time the echoes of the command had
died away every yard on each mast
would support scores Of men aud boys,
all standing erect most of them only
held up by the crossed arms of the men
beside them This representation OF a
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 decl: by the chief bos'n's mate,
and there would be 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 men S uniforms of blue standing out
in sapphi1eliko contrast to the cameo
vhittness of the shrouds, THIS was Il
ceremony on all formal occasions, such
as the visi;r,7 I'd the old ships of dis
tinguished men. And "Man the yards ~
and "Chear ship!" were commands al
ways given when one of the old clippers
