An ugly Dazzling Tragedy.

The dueling practice has just led to
an ugly tragedy in a German garrison
in Lorraine. A duel was arranged be-
tween two officers. but never took
place because a brother of one went
and murdered the other officer in cold
blood. The murderer gave himself up
and explained that as his brother, q
man with family, would have been
killed in the duel, he, a single man, had
elected to die in his place, even as q
murderer.-N. Y. Sun.

The sultan stopped Drinking Mirk

The sultan stepped Drinking MIX.
In the opinion of the sultan OF
Turkey fresh milk is a most bene-
fetal aid to good health, and up to a
short time ago he was in the habit
of drinking large quantities OF il
every day. Each morning the cows
were brought in front of his windows
TO be MIXED in order that there
would be no mistake about the milk
being fresh and pure. Some evil
minded official, however, quietly hint
ed to his majesty one day that his
method of obtaining fresh milk gave
anyone wishing to poison him an Cd.
portunityo of feeding the cows on some
noxious food. After that warm,
fresh milk was tabooed by Turkeys
monarch.-Chicago Times-Herald.
