DueIists Who Did Not Kill.

The two most famous duelsts who
never killed their men known to his
tory are the Chevalier de Saint Georges,
mulatto. who was reputed to be the
finest fencer in France, and in more
recent time NJ. Georges de Labruyere.
who constituted himself the champion
of Nine Seberine. edtress of the Girls
du Peuple Both these champions OF
the sword fought scores of duels in
which severe wounds were given and
taken. but both were humane and chiv-
alrous and never took life. as their skill
would have enabled them to do.
In his duel with Lieutenant de Nell
vile NJ Labruyere was run through
the right lung and almost Immediately
afterward pierced his opponents left
lung. Both had to be carried off the
field but they ultimately recovered. In
this connection it may be noted that
the ridicule in which certain English
papers indulge in with regard TO French
and Italian dueling is generally quite
beside the point Every duelist takes
his life in his hand and can practically
kill his adversary when he chooses. but
if the stroke is not made according to
the laws of fence he is certain to be
killed himself in doing it. This is why
the drawing Of blood is considered to
be satisfaction for injured honor

DISQUALIFIED For ONCE.

During warm gubernatOrial canvass
in Kentucky one Of the candidates
found himself in the mountain districts
a long way from town, very tired and
hungry. He stopped at little cabin
on the mountain side and, introducing
himself as candidate for the govern
Orship. asked for something to eat.
The woman gave him much better
meal than he had expected and wound
up the repast with pie of the most
delicious flavor. The candidate quickly
cleared his plate and then said, with
his most engaging smile:
Madam, this is most delicious pie,
but | declare that do not know what
fruit this is. Certainly nothing like it
grows down where | come from. Will
you have the kindness to tell me what
it is?"
The woman looked at him for a full
minute, her establishment at last giving
way to supreme scorn.

finally found voice to ask. You say

what sights the human beach could show the dayi
What doubts, what creeping aims, what dreams

What hopes, like fallen stars, would there be

What wreckage where the surface calmly sleeps!
What shadows where we most had looked fol

Strange rocks of cruelty that lie concealed
Clad in pale weeds of vice, might rise revealed
Where monster habits in their shiny pride
Through falsehoods clingiHg brine securely glide.

over it he told me the soul Of his
brother, who had been bad man and
had been hung for murder, had passed
into the body of jackal, but the pray
ers of his widow and children had per-
haps prevailed ere this and the soul
had been whitened by passing into the
body of a tiger. 1t was an hour after

Gus whatever. There were wolves and
hyenas and panthers, and tigers in that
district and it was notorious for it's
serpents, but / felt no personal fear as

When I reached the open ground, /
/ looked over my shoulder and saw a
tiger trotting at my heels. He came
closer until could put my hand on his

cabin.

said Rajpoor Gyah to me as he rose
up from his seat at the door. "Sit you
down and smoke and listen"
Then he began talking with the tiger.
1t was not in the same tongue as he
talked to me, but yet / could under
stand most Of what he said, while the
tiger answered by whines for yes and
growls for no.
1T is not my brother" said the man
to me. ''The soul of my brother is still
in the body of the jackal. 1t was
blacker than thought for. The tiger
may go now. 1t was kind of him to
| come"
The tiger rose up and stalked off,
looking back at us once or twice, and
then we went to bed. When morning
came, felt clear headed, but weak in
| limb. though my appetite was fair. An
hour after our meal Rajpoor Gyah said
to me:
"You must help me to cleanse the
world of its wickedness. Go forth and

will burn the soles OF his feet and
make him confess his misdeeds."

traditional sword The leading military nations

No more I'll fash in headlong dash
Or CLEAN in the laundering charge
When the troopers shout leaps madly out
On the red FIELDS snoldering maree;
Ny glory's a.sgl I'll feel no more
The grip Of a hurrying hand,
And the shifting quick in the melee thick
OF the last, wild desperate stand.
No more I'll crash with the lightning's fash
When steel bites deep in steel.
And the leaping spark lights billets stark,
Where the frenzied foemen reel;
At last At last is my guerdon past,
No more my crimsoned blade
Will seal the fate OF sinking State,
Whose empire erst | made.
My fame was born in history's morn.
And ever adown the years
When warning in his fierce elan
On my corpse-piled path appears.
I've hewn his name amid battles fame,
With all the world aghast;
And stainless still obey his WILL
And live in the splendid past.
Hurrah for the sword. that its foretime lord
Hath put from his grasp away,
One vale long I'm sheated among
The dead of an elder day;
For my storied brand, that for aye is bann'd
To sleep in the dreamless dust,
Hath blazed the way to this ruthless day
When ! redden with naught rust
