Challenge Accepted.

II is generally understood that the
owners of slot machines paying re-
wards have formed a pool and have
subscribed the Necessary funds to put
up strong legal fight against the law,
which they are very sanguine of beat
ing, and to this end one Of their num-
Der, Harry Smith, started his machine
Monday.
The prosecuting attorneys office
was soon aware OF the fact that a slot
machine was in operation at III Yes
Ter way, and was not slow to take up
the challenge. An information charg-
ing Smith with running a slot machine
in violation of the statutes Of the state
Of Washington was filed by Prosecut-
ing Attorney Scott, and later on a war
rant was issued. This was served on
Smith late in the afternoon, but he
was able to secure bonds to the eX-
tent Of $1,000 and was released.
The date Of the trial Of the case
has not yet been fixed, but as all the
parties concerned are anxious for a
speedy settlement of the matter, it is
probable that the case will be heard
during the present term of court not
Withstanding the cOngested state Of
the calendar

SLOT MACHINE FIGHT.
New State Law to be Tested In City
of Seattle.

Seattle,-Owners of slot machines
in this city are TO test the new state
law prohibiting the use of machines
paying merchandise prizes. A man
who volunteered to allow himself to
be prosecuted was found yesterday in
the person of Harry Smith, of Ill Yes
Ter way, who has been charged with
violating the law, as a test case. Smith
was arrested, but is now out on bonds.
large number of machines are
used in the city, and many of the de-
vices are owned by cigar stand propri-
etOrs, who are often men OF small cap
ital. The competition in this business
is very great, and it is claimed that
many of the owners will have to go
out of business if the slot machines
are permanently suppressed. The ma
chimes are the best kind Of statesmen,
and take in all the way from SO a day
to $40 on some of the best stands. The
loss of this income will in many cases
make all the difference between max

on earth could unseat him. Perhaps
none ever had-until he came to the
Plains.
For this was on the Plains. AS all
America was under canvas, it was not
strange that Col. Battersleigh should
find his home in a tent, and that this
tent should be pitched upon the West
ern Plains. Not that he had gone di-
rectly to the West after the muster
ing out Of his regiment. To the con-
trary, his first abode had been in the
city of New York, where during his
brief stay he acquired a certain &C
quaintance.
What were the financial resources
of Battersleigh after the cessation Of
his pay as cavalry officer not even his
best friends could accurately have
told. 1t was rumored that he was the
commissioner in America of the Lon
don Times He was credited with
being a Fellow OF the Royal Geo
graphical Society. That he had a his
tory no one could doubt who saw him
come down the street with his broad
hat, his sweeping cloak, his gauntlets,
his neatly vanished boots.
In reality Col. Henry Battersleigh
lived, during his city life, in small,
very small room. up more than one
fight of stairs. This room, no
larger than a tent, was military in
its neatness. Battersleigh, bachelor
and soldier, was in nowise forgetful
of the truth that personal neatness
and personal valor go well hand in
hand. The bed, a very narrow one,
had but meager covering. and during
the winter months its single blanket
ratified to the touch. There's moth
ing in the world so warm as news
papers, me boy" said Battersleigh.
Upon the table, which was a box.
there was displayed always an invari-
able arrangement. Col. Battersleigh's
riding whip (without which he was
rarely seen in public) was placed
upon the table first. Above the whip
were laid the gauntlets, crossed at
sixty degrees. On top of whip and
gloves rested the hat. indentcd never
more nor less. Beyond these. the per
sonal belongings Of Battersleigh of
the Rile Irish were at best few and
humble. In the big city, busy with re-
viving commerce. there we're few who
cared how Battersleigh lived. II was
a vagrant wind of March that one day
blew aside the cloak OF Battersleigh
as he raised his hat in salutation to
a friend-a vagrant wind. cynical and
merciless, which showed somewhat of
the poverty with which Battersleigh
had struggled like a soldier and a gen

Tried to Pull Her Tongue Out.

Jacob Gittel of Southington, Conn.,.
is in trouble AS a matter of fact the
gentleman has been in trouble for
years. His wife is one OF these I'M
bearable nuisances which the Puri-
tans used to hold under the town
pump-a village gossip. He has tried
every argument and used every threat
to induce her to cease her chatter
and let him sleep O. nights, but in
vain. Driven finally to desperation,
he determined to put stop for good
and all to her incessant talk by pull
ing her tongue out. The cure would
have been heroic but effective. But,
weakened as he was by his loss OF
sleep and by the continued strain on
his nervous system, the unfortunate
husband had not the strength to hold
his wife with one hand while he per-
formed the operation with the other.
She got away and complained to the
authorities. The result is that, while
everybody sympathizes with him, the
husband is in Jail and the woman is
still talking.

stoopings The quest was but too OBJ
vious. And even as Franklin gazed,
uncertain and unable to escape, 1t
seemed apparent that the two had
found that which they had sought. The
girl, slightly in advance, ran forward

back. "Oh, there there!" she cried.
girls head upon her bosom. With
barred head and his own hand at his
eyes, Franklin hurried away, hoping
himself unseen, but bearing indelibly
pictured on his brain the scene OF
which he had been witness. He wanted
to cry out, to halt the advancing col
umns which would soon be here, to
tell them that they must not come
upon this field, made sacred by such
woe.
Near the intrenchment where the
bitter close had been, and where there
was need alike for note of triumph
and forgetfulness, the band major mar
shaled his music, four deep and forty
strong, and swung out into the anthem
of the flag. The head Of the column
broke from the last cover of the wood
and came into full sight at the edge
OF the open country. Thus there came
into view the whole panorama OF the
field, dotted with the slain and with
those who sought the slain. The
music of triumph was encountered by
the concerted voice Of grief and woe.
There appearel for the feet of this
army not a mere road, a mere battle
field, but a ground sacred. hedged high
about, not rudely to be violated.
But the band major was a poet.
great man. There came to him no
order telling him what he should do,
but the thing was in his soul that
should be done. There came to him,
waited from the field of sorrow, a note
which was command, a voice which
sounded to him above the voices OF
his own brasses, above the tapping of
the kettledrums. A gesture Of com
mand. and the music ceased absolute
ly. A moment, and 1t had resumed.
The forty black horses which made
up this regimental band we're the pride

strong. with arching necks. with fore
feet reaching far and dropping softly.
each horse of the famous cavalry band
