Still There Was Danger.

Memphis Scimitar: A little girl from
Memphis who has spent her life in the
city went out to visit her grandparents,
living in the country, during the holi-
days, and. as usually happens in such
cases, the little city lady displayed her
ignorance.
The little girl, soon after her arrival
in the country, manifested great appre-
hension of being hooked by the cows
about the place. One day her mother
told her to go to a neighbours home and
carry a message. The little girl
started, but at the gate she
tered II COW, one of the muley species.
In great excitement she ran back to
her mother, crying: "Oh, mamma!
there's a COW down there"
The mother looked out of the window
and saw the meek-looking bovine.
why, daughter, that's a muley COW.
She hasn't any horns and can't hook

"she hasn'tAany horns. but she might
hook me with her pompadour!"

NEW MARK TWAIN STORY.
Duel of h Humor,st ut virglnl,

Famous Duel of tho Humorist Mt virglnl,
City, Nevada.
Chicago Tribune: Now tina Mark
Twain has come back to the United
states to stay, his old friends out west
are telling soine new stories of his AZ
periences in that country In the Cos.
One of the most amusing is an nccoun
of Marks famous duel at Virginia City,
New, in 1866, the details of which have
never before been printed. Mr.. Glenn
n was then working as a reporter on
the Territorial Enterprise, the leading
newspaper of Virginia City, which was
then g booming mining camp, full Of
rough and ready men. One day there
came to the town a Miss Wheeler, n
beautiful young woman, with whom the
entire male population of Virginia City
promptly proceeded to fall in love. One
of the most prominent men of the town
was Judge Baldwin, a ~fire-eating Vir-
sihlan, who was nearly so years Old.
Mark Twain saw Miss Wheeler in
bridal attire walk into the 1~nternation-
al hotel n afternoon with Judge Bald
win. II jumped to the conclusion that
she was to marry the old man. He
said so in his paper and comfurted the
other men of Virginia City by say
ing that the bridegroom already had
one loot i'll the grave, with the other a
close second" Judge Baldwin cnal-
lenged him to a duel. Pistols We're
chosen as the weapons, though the
Judge was a good shot and Mark knew
nothing about firearms. On the APP
pointed morning Mark and his second,
steve ellis, a dead shot, were early
on the scene. Gillis was trying the re-
NolVer, and finally fired at Il robin, fully
fifty feet distant. His bullet took the
birds head off, and he went forward to
pick up the body. after handing the re-
Volver to Mark Twain. Just as ellis
picked up the dccapitated bird Judge
Baldwin Il his party came over The
top of a little hill and saw him. They
locked first at Giilis holding the head
less bird and then at Twain.holding the
smoking pistol.
ps sTe55 vas : ) good shot" Eaia n of
Yes" answered ellis: IT doubt if
there is as good a shot in the country
as Mark"
Immediately Baldwin's seconds pro
posed a compromise. An apology IRON
Judge Baldwin was promptly accepted.
Steve" said Mark Twain, as they
walked home together, poor cock
room was the only one that got hurt in
that duel"
