struggle for existence and survival of

most interesting results of the modern
study of photography. \ notable eN-

ters in the United States. Honduras
women do not crave the freedom and
publicity of life that are enjoyed in the
United States. They are very charit-
able, and are kindness itself to the
poor people OF their neighborhood,
sending portions Of bread and meat
daily to those who are in destitute cir
cumstances.
1t was my fortune to witness a duel
between native Hondurian and a
Spanish trader who had recently come
to this country. 1t was over a wom-
ans love, and both men decided to
fight to the death with swords. At early
dawn they met, both mounted, and at
once began circling round and round
each other. Both were able swords
men. AS they thrust, parted and cut
they made fascinating sight Now
one would dash at his opponent, caus-
ing him to rein his horse to his
launches to avoid the fierce assault;
then he in turn would charge. The
struggle lasted long time and both
were rapidly becoming exhausted. Sud-
denly the native dug his spurs into his
charger and drove the point of his
weapon into the nose of the Spaniards
horse, causing the brute to lower his
head for moment.
In this moment he slashed fairly at
his opponents chest. Taken by sur
prise and thrown off his guard by the
sudden movement of his horse, the
Spaniard barely managed to raise his
sword in defense. The blade received
the full force of the blow ard parted
like reed. Before he could recover
and wheel his horse the native dashed
by, thrHsting to the rear as he did so,
and wounding his antagonist between
the shoulder blades. The blood squirt
ed out in streams and it was plain the
duel was at an end.
AS the wounded Spaniard sank from
his horse to the ground his fortunate
antagonist walked over to where he lay
and sympathetically placed his saddle
under the Spaniard's head and strove
to stay the flow of blood with his own
shirt. The wounded man raised him
self, his face giving every evidence that
a thousand confused fancies were
crowding in his brain and throbbing in
his heart. He mutterd "Inez-Inez-a
cabello, senior; a .eabello," and died.

burg about year. He is married,
and his wife was left behind in his
native land. Before coming to Ameri-
ca All Foon was in school until he was
16, with English tutors, but his knowl-
edge of the language is meager.
Until few years ago there were no
women teachers in all China. Now
there are many, and students are re-
ceived until past the age of 80. There
are many native teachers, as we'll as
the missionaries who come from
foreign lands The scholars sit on
high stools at desks and study aloud.
At 10 and IL years the Chinese
scholars can read and write very well.
Every lesson is learned by rote. The
teachers always retain possession of a
Furnishing stick, and occasionally lazy
or tardy scholars receive few sound
raps with it,
The scholars are at school early in
the morning, and it is not uncommon
for boys to study ten hours day.
That would seem a long time for
American boys to devote to study in
single day, but, according to All Foon,
the Juvenile Chinaman never grumbles
at the long hours, and he and his COM
panions climb upon their stools and
sing out their lessons all at the same
time as loudly as they can. Vacation
is always during the rice harvesting
season. Then the boys fly kites and
enjoy many other pastimes which
are similar to those seen in America,
such as walking on stills, rlaying hide
and seek, blind mans buff and leap
frog.
I'VE have great fun fighting beetles,
too" said All Foon. 'In China there
are no bad boys like here. All boys
are respectful to all older than them
selves. They do not think it fun to
hurt other peoples feelings. One
thing I have seen here is very old
trick in China. You see boys place a
package ON the sidewalk and when
some one stoops to pick it up it is
gone, for there is string tied to it,
and little boy at the other end of the
string. Ogdensburg Journal.

She should have reached Yokohama
previous to the arrival of the Led

In haste to meet her. The latest
cablegram from Henry Ledyard to
his father states that the sender had

mules and a number of horses, and 1t
is believed she will be the last to
leave with horses for the German
army. For time It looked as though
the demand for horses to go to the
German troops In China would ex-
coed the supply of cavalry animals on
the Pacific coast. Agents of the
German army secured Californit, Ore

horses wherever they could be pro-
cured, paying prices far in advance Of
the usual market values.

A Golf Waqer.

In frenzy of golf score of Pitts

ball through four and one-half miles
of the city's streets at sunrise the
other morning to settle bet made the
night before. The wager was the
outcome of discussion at the lawn
party of the Allegheny Country club
as to whether golf ball could be
driven over the streets from the club
house to the Pittsburg club, on Penn
avenue, four and one-half miles
away, in $50 strokes. The original
bet was $500, but before the trial was
made $4,000 in bets was posted on
the result. VIM. Patton, ore of the
Allegheny Country clubs crack golf
players, was selected to make the
test. Patton waxed vigorous and
swatted the ball through the bedroom
window of prominent citizen. Fortu-
nately the citizen was one of them
himself, and he merely kept the ball
as souvenir. Then, with a mighty
effort, Patton smashed another cluh
and sent yellow dog yelping toward
the Allegheny river. Rapid progress
was being made, when panic seized
uopn the passengers in a trolley car
which was bowling across the Sixth
street bridge. Investigation developed
that Patton had put the ball through
the window of the car, where it was
lost in the confusion. Eventually play
was resumed, and, with a few minor
accidents, Patton landed the ball
through the parlor window of the
Plttsburg club on his one hundred.

SUCCESSFUL WRITER'S HOMES.
Best Literary Work Done by Men Out
side the Cities.

"See for moment how the matter
of residence affects literary people,
with whose work, naturally, | am
familiar" writes Edward Box. "Pick
out the successful writers of the day
and see where their homes are.
Scarcely in single instance will you
fad one of them living in the city.
On the other hand look at the work
done by your literary denizen of the
city and ,e how it suffers in COM
parison with that of the man or
woman whose mind rests on Gods own
handiwork. Such writer's are like
pygmies compared to the men who
with fresh minds look over Gods land
scape and reflect the deepest and truest
thoughts of real men and women. See
how an author-and this is constant
occurrence-living in some remote
country place does a great piece of
work, and then, allured by false
prophets, removes to the city and con-
tinues his work there. In his work de-
generation takes place as soon as he
removes himself from mans truest
surroundings. And what is true today
of men in literary work is equally true
of men in the kindred arts. The great
work OF tho world is being done today
by men whose lives are spent away
from the great cities. Ladies' Home
