An .American, DueI.

During my residence in Heidelberg a
lamentable and terrible affair took
place that threw a profound gloom
over the university and the entire
town. Two German students. having
quarreled, decided the earth was not
large enough for both of them to live
In and resorted to the diabolical prac-
tice called the American duel"
In n darkened room the two young
men drew lots, having sworn that he
who drew the black ball would commit
suicide. The unhappy loser went to
his room and discharged a bullet into
his breast, but missed his heart and
fingered for several days on his death
bed. His parents were summoned by
telegraph and besought him on their
knees to disclose the name Of his an
tagonist, but he steadfastly refused
and died with the secret in his breast.
The students not only excused his
conduct, but praised his courage, and
when his remains were taken to the
distant city they accompanied the fu-
neral cortege with torches and music.
The students claimed he was not a sui
eide, for he was killed in an honorable
duel, and they maintained that his op-
ponent was not accessory to his death
because he shot himself. | had many
arguments with them and never could
convince them of their extraordinary
tergiversation.-

"siIencing n Gun.0

There is great deal of ignorance as
to what "silencing gun" means. A
gun is silenced when the gunners are
disabled or driven back and the gun or
gun carriage damaged. 1t is common
enough phenomenon for weapons
which have thus been silenced to re-
open fire after repairs have been made,
the gunners rallied or fresh gun crew
obtained. 1t is rare thing for gun
to be so damaged by hostile fire that it
cannot be refitted and brought into ac-
tion again. Il saw" says Prince Kraft
Of the German artillery in the battle Of
Gravelotte, many guns during the
cannonade lying miserably on the
ground 'winged'-that is, with broken
wheel. But not one was withdrawn.
The injured guns were always speed
lily repaired with the help Of the wag-
ons, which were near, so that at the
close of the battle l could not tell ex-
actly how many pieces had been put
temporarily out of action."-Army and
Navy Journal.

Fooled the Crowd.

Some people will go to great trouble
and expense to perpetrate joke. The
other day two well known society men
hired a closed carriage and decorated
it with bows of white ribbon and flow
ers and other paraphernalia belonging
to a well appointed wedding.
On each side was hung placard an
nouncing that the occupants were just
married.
1t attracted great attention, and when
1t pulled up in front of the Gait House
a few days ago a large crowd had con-
gregated to see the happy bride and
groom alight. The driver slowly got
down from his seat beside the door.
He opened it deliberately. and when
he swung the door open the curious
crowd surged forward. There was no
bride and no groom inside. but instead
a big placard bearing in great black let
ters the single word, Rubber"
For a little while the driver had the
joke TO himself. but soon the crowd
realized the neat swindle. and all en-
Joyed the episode hugely.-Loulsville

Waa She RlQhfl

A certain woman. says the Wichi-
ia Eagle. desired the arrest of the
saloon keeper who had been selling
whisky to her drunken husband. Hav-
ing conducted the officer to the saloon,
she was told by him to pick out the
proprietor. Seven men, all looking
alike and dressed alike. were stand
ing motionless around a whisky
barrel. and she could not tell
which was the one, but she stepped
to the barrel and turned the spigot,
and the liquor began to pour out on
the floor. One of the men sprang out
of the circle and turned the spigot off.
ARREST that man." she said.
But was she right? Was it more
likely TO be the proprietor who wocld
thus plead guilty and 60 to jail or some
innocent man with an unquenchable
thirst who was Mortified at seeing the
awful waste?

CHAPTER XII.

Yet lackest thou thing. Sell all that thou
hast and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven. And come; follow me.
When Henry Maxwell began to speak
to the souls crowded into the settlement
hall that night, it is doubtful if he had
ever before faced such an audience in
his life. 1t is quite certain that the
city of Raymond did not contain such
a variety of humanity. Not even the
Rectangle at its worst could furnish so
many men and women who had fallen
entirely out of the reach of the church
and all religious and even Christian in
huences.

IN THEIR RELATION TO AMERICAN POLITICS.
Bv CLAY w. METSKER.

ing army? l will tell you who they
are. They are the brave descendants
of the sons of Holland and of Germany
descendants of the brothers of that
gallant band of people along the Lower
Rhine, who left their country at the
solicitation of Penn and came to the
American continent.
Students of history will remember
that, some $50 years ago, Louis XIV
in his invasion of the Pal8tinste de-
stroyed property of every description
and drove more than 100000 half-naked
and starving people to the forests in
the middle of winter; that these home
less people went down the Rhine and
were cared for by the generous people
of Rotterdam and Amsterdam in HOl-
land; that later many of them took
advantage of the free t. transportation to
America, offered by Queen Anne of
England, and settled the wilds of New
York state and Pennsylvania; that
many others chose the uncivilized coun-
try in the south of Africa and joined
their brethren there who had been
transported by the Dutch East India
Company during the previous century.
Those who settled in Cape COLONY
were brothers of my ancestors and of
ancestors of many of you. They SET
tied South Africa, actuated by the
same motives that prompted our fore
fathers who crossed to this country and
settled among the wild and primeval
forests. They, TOO, wanted liberty, un-
hindered by despotic tyrants. AS the
Anabsptlsts who yielded to PENIS per.
sussion and left their country for the
sake of freedom of worship, so were
these emigrsnts sctusted who sailed to
the undeveloped country of South AT
RIGA.
These liberty-loving people, these
pioneers who left the Lower Rhine, the
land of their nativity, for the sake of
freedom, conquered ssvagery and de-
veloped q government on the theory of
our own. The descendants of this
pioneer band are now the targets of
