A duel among native Australians
affords a droll study Of physical endur-
ance and natural courtesy. The anaire
d'hOnneur Is conducted on orthodox
lines. Seconds are chosen and the
place Of meeting Arranged, each party
assuring tlN other that the remcm-
brance Of the insult or the casus bell
can only be- removed with a waddy
stick, casually mentioning at the same
time the design and weight Of his own
weapon.
The duel then proceeds somewhat
on these lines: The aggricyed one
bends forward, hands on knees, and
invites his opponent to test the sound
ness Of bis club on his dhe challcnger's)
head. poiteness does not demand that
the vlgor Of the blow be modified by
regrets or remorse, much less such a
reply as, mot at all, sir; after YOU
The descent Of the club Is remindful
Of the conundrum. SHOULD an irresisti-
BILE force come In contact With an Inn
movable mass, what is the resultY In
this cnse a little local warmth Is gener-
atcd. II Is now the other fellows
turn, and the game proceeds as before,
varied by mutual requests to hit n
little harder. Either combatant leaves
the field without a Stain on his char
acter and tasting the qulntcssence Of
satisfied honor should his opponents
club be broken over his head.

PoNlATowsK's PLIGHT.
A Prince Who Was Shut Out OF q
Pullman Car.


Prince Poniatowski had to sit up all
night in an ordinary coach OF the Los
Angeles express while travelling from
Bakersfield to San Francisco. Reared IN
the lap OF luxury, the nObleman realized
that It is bad enough to be a passenger In
the best cars, but to be forced into a
common day coach for a whole night
made him belligerent, vindictiVe and out
Of sorts with everything and everybody.
The prince preferred charges against
Conductor W. Williams Of the Pullman
Car company because Of his night OF dis
comfort
PoniatowsH was In Bakersfield on
business, says the San Francisco EXami-
ner. He desired TO come home the same
night on the express train which passes
Bakersfield about midnight In the after
noon he wired to Los Angeles for a
drawing room. All the Pullman berths
and drawing rooms had been reserved,
and an answer was sent to that effect.
Poniatowsh did not get the reply.
When the train reached Bakersfield, he
made a dash for the nearest Pullman.
Conductor Williams, who was In charge.
stopped him. He Informed the prince
that there was no room In any OF the
Pullman cars for him.
"But don't you know who l amp al
most Kissed the prince, as his anger got
the better Of bis judgment. II am Prince
Poniatowsk. You don't expect me TO sit
up all night with a let OF Cinnamon IN a

you'll have 70 ride with the Cinnamon,

no room IN any OF the Pullmans. Thata
oil I have 20 say"
AS the train started 10 move the
prince ran for the day coach. II, too, was
crowded. He found a seat with China
men In front OF him and two Mongoliaui
back OF him. PoniatoWsd was furious,
but he very sensibly held his tongue all
night. II Is now so sore that he either
will not or cannot talk about the episode.

Mrs. Cly.lns Cote Of Aurora. Ind, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer was recently at
tractcd by peculiar kissing and rapping
i'm her bedroom. On investigating she be
held a large black snake swinging from
the top OF the dresser by its tail and
viciously fighting its reflection in the mir
ror. Mrs. Cole called for her husband to
come and klh the reptile, but when he APP
peared he could not strike at the swaying
serpent, that continued the combat with
the shadow in the glass, unmindful Of his
presence for fear OF SCATTERING the costly
mirror. He then procured a long pole
aud succeeded in disengagng its coils
from the mirror frame and hurting II out
of the open window through which It evil
IDENTIFY entered. The fall to the ground
from the second story room stunned but
did not kill the snake, and when Mr.. Cole
descended the stairs and reached the
yard to accomplish its death it swiftly
glided away in the grass and escaped.

lice, and we have handled her. Yester-
day afternoon l made search of her
