Tale Of One Candidate For

Himself Out With an
Upper Cut

A chapter on "odd Accidents OF
the Prize Ring" may seem odd even to
old.time patrons Of the glovemens
sport--"accident" in a battle is like a
fluke or wholly unlntentional punch,
and that outside OF these crazy wal
lops the fstic game is as much a
question Of skill as a game of chess
or as much problem of relative
strength AS hauling match between
two truck horses. Curious accidents
however have played quite part in
making prize ring history, and slngu-
lar mischanoes of the kind will proba-
bly, always cut figure in deciding
battles. writes Houseman.
These remarks are prompted in the
main by the strange finish of Clarence

NEW ANEcDoTE OF SCOTT.
Grateful to Workman for Supplying
Him With Word.

There is a new Scott anecdote re-
membered as coming from the lips Of
long dead Scotchman. When boy
he was one day watching some build
ing operations, probably near Abb
botsford," when a lame man, bare
headed and with pen behind his ear,
came up. Taking hold of a pail the
lame man turned it over and asked the
workman what he was doing with 1t.
"Whamblin it over" one of them re-
Piled THANK you, thank you, my
man; that's the very word I've been
trying to get all the morning." cried
Sir Walter gratefully, and straightway
returned to his desk. 1T was the teller
of this story" says the London Morn
ing Post, who, when some years
younger, saw in shop window as he
was going to school the new romance
of 'Waverley' lying open at the first
page. The schooboy stopped to read
it through the glass, and his eager abb
sorption so took the fancy of the book
seller that each day as he passed the
pages were turned for him in the shop,
and he was thus enabled to red the
whole story without touching leaf of
the book.

Pebbles of considerable value are

shores of Great Britain. The onyx,
for instance, is a valuable stone. 1t
is a black pebble with white bands
and is to be found on many parts OF
the coast. This pebble is frequently
cut into cameo gems and sold for a
pretty high figure. Thousands OF tons
of black stones have been gathered
off the coast at Whitby for the pur.

COMPROMISE ON STATEHOOD.
Hopes OF Settling Fate Of The
Bill In Ten Days,
FLYNN BREAKS HIS SILENCE,

Washington, Jan. 17.-Somc sort OF
proposition is under consideration
looking to termination of the dead
lock in the senate over the statehood
question. It's impossible to determine
definitely what the character OF the
understanding is on which the opposi-
ton forces have been trying to get
together in the hope of ending the de-
bate and allowing other public bust
ness to be taken up for consideration
and disposition 1t is understood, how
ever, that compromise is likely to be
reached, and it is said the statehood
matter will be settled one way or an
other within ten days From this II Is
gethered that proposition has come
from one side or the other by which
the present measure before the senate
will be modified and it is believed that
statehood in some form will be the
outgrowth. Whatever it may prove to
be. there is not the least Likelihood
that the Indian Territory will be an
nexed to Oklahoma and both be ad-
mitted as one state. Some important
DEVELOPMENTS are looked for within the
next few days.
Delegate Flynn, who has preserved
silence regarding statehood matters In
his talks with newspaper men, eX-
pressed himself rather emphatically
and with disfavor touching the efforts
to complicate the statehood question as
it affects Oklahoma with statehood for
the Indian territory which are being
made in certain quarters both at home
and in the Indian Territory.
81 have heretofore kept my mouth
shut on this subject" he said, "but it
is quite evident to me that the people
are being fooled.
There are not twenty-five votes for
| the Nelson amendment in the senate
and never have been. The omnibus
bill has always had majority and has
majority of the votes now. Say for
me that there isn't a ghost of chance
of any legislation passing congress
which looks to the incorporation OF
the Indian Territory in one state with
Oklahoma, at least at this time. II
any legislation passes it will be admis,

"BAIT" FOR WILD TURKEYS"
Hundreds of the Birds Have Fallen
Before Gun of Expert.

pCIOTC Sun VI GNPCIbs
Wild turkeys are still quite plentiful
in some portions of North Carolina,
as they also are in Arkansas, Texas
Indian Territory, Oklahoma and South
ern Missouri, says the American Field,
but just how long they will be plenti.
full in any of these states is question,
if the states possess a Gil McDuffie,
as does North Carolina, who. 1t is
said, only a short time since killed
seven turkeys at one shot. 1t is
claimed that McDuffie has killed 1900
wild turkeys and ZOO deer in his time,
besides countless numbers of smaller
game. The way he makes his war on
turkeys is by batting" He finds
where a flock OF turkeys use and he
lays a train of corn to locality where
he can arrange a good blind. The
blind is made and corn is put out in
good quantity for the turkeys not far
away, he being careful to place the
corn in such shape that when the tur-
keys feed upon it they will be we'll
punched. He then secretes himself in
his blind and lies in wait for the
turkeys. When they come and get
punched up over the quart or two of
corn. he turns loose with a shotgun,
and the slaughter is tremendous.

Al that moment Neil and Hyde were


on the fatal spot.
Neil flung off his coat and waistcoat
and stood with barred breast on the
spot his second indicated. Hyde re-
moved his fine scarlet coat and hand
ed it to Capt. Earle, and would then
have taken his sword; but Beekman
advanced to remove also his waist
coat. The suspicion implied by this
act reused the soldiers Indignation,
and with his own hands he tore OIL
the richly embroidered satin garment
and by so doing exposed what perhaps
some delicate feeling had made him
wish to conceal-a bow of orange rib
bon which he wore above his heart.
The sight of it to Neil was like oil
flung upon flame. He could scarcely
restrain himself until the word go"
gave him license to charge Hyde.
Hyde was an excellent swordsman
and had fought several duels; but he
was quite disconnected by the deadly
reality of Neil's attack. In the sec
ond thrust his foot got entangled in
tuft of grass, and, in evading a
lunge aimed at his heart, he fell on
his right side. Supporting himself,
however, on his sword hand, he
sprang backwards with great dexter
ity, and thus escaped the probable
death-blow. But, as he was bleeding
from wound in the throat, his Sec
ond interfered and proposed a recon
Jau RI
ten. He declared "he had not come
to enact a farce" and then, happen
ing to glance at the ribbon on Hyde's
breast, he swore furiously He would
make his way through the body of
any man who stood between him and
his just anger"
Up to this point there had been In
Hyde's mind latent Discrimination to
STAY Neil. After it, he flung away
every kind of memory, and the fight
was renewed with an almost brutal
impetuosity, until there ensued one of
those close locks which it was evil
dent nothing but the key of the body
could OPEN" In the frightful wrench
which followed, the swords of both
men sprang from their hands, flying
some four or five yards upward with
the force. Both recovered their weap
ons at the same time, and both, bleed
ing and exhausted, would have again
renewed the fight; but at that mo-
ment Van Heemskirk and Semple, with
their attendants, reached the spot.
Without hesitation, they threw
themselves between the young men
But there was no need for words. Neil
fell senseless upon his sword, making
in his fall last desperate effort to
reach the ribbon on Hyde's breast; fol
Hyde had also dropped fainting to the
ground, bleeding from at least half a
dozen wounds Then one of Sempe's
young men, who had probably OWNED
the cause of quarrel, and who felt q
sympathy for his young master, made
as if he would pick up the fatal bit OF
orange satin, now dyed crimson in
Hyde's blood
But Joris pushed the rifling hand
fiercely away. ITO touch it would be
the vilest theft" he said. His OWL
it is. With his life he has bought it.
