MAMMALS DEAR CHERUB.
He Deserved Spanking and Got q Stran.
ger In Trouble.


People never get encouragement for do
ing the good Samaritan act in the Inter-
ests Of the public, as the man decided who
offered to assist distracted woman and
ameliorate the sufferings of lot Of people
on suburban car.
The boy who howls was in evidence, the
ourled darling Of his only own mother and
the terror Of everybody else, and he had
kept the car in state Of wild excitement
and exhausted the patience Of everybody,
including his doting parent.
"Oh, If your father were only herel' she
had said for the flftieth time as she tried
vainly to restrain the bowling terror.
At that he stopped bowling long enough
to beat the air with his small shins, and
the woman on the other side Of him re-
marked audibly that cage was the proper
place for savages like bir!. -.
"Johnny, DEAR" asked bis mother,
"won't you be good boyT"
Roars and kicks from Master Johnny.
"Oh, wish your father were here to
give you good trounoing this very min
utep' she walled as she struggled with
him.
Then 1t was that the philsnthropist Of
the company asserted himself. he had
been trying in vain to read his morning
paper ever since he started from home.
"Allow me, madam" he said blandly.
81 am father myself, and will be happy
to chastise your oherub in behalf of bis ab-
sent parent"
"Oh, no, you won't; not If know it!'
said Johnny's mother, rising in her wrath
like tigress. "There amt that man liv-
ing dare lay finger on that boy-his own
father or any other ugly old catamount
who thinks he knows it alli' And she
shut off debate by going into the next car
and taking the sweet infant with her

How to Tell Age of Horses.

The popular idea that the age OF a
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth, says veterinary surgeon, Is
not entirely correct. After the eighth
year the horse has no more new teeth.
so that the tooth method Is useless for
telling the age Of a horse which Is more
than years old. AS soon as the set OF
teeth Is complete, however, a wrinkle
begins to appear on the upper edge OF
the lower eyelid, and new wrinkle Is
added each year, SO that to get at the
age Of a horse over. 8 years old you
must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles.

STUDENTS DUELs.
How tho German University Mon Arn
Padded For the Eight.

How tho German University Men Arn
Padded For tho Fight.
My friend had vanished into the dress
ing room, and 1T first glance entirely
failed to recognize him in the padded
monster that now staggered clumsiiy into
the room, supported on each side by his
second and sword bearer. The thick armor
of leather and wadding with which he was
bolstered entirely protected his body and
limbs. His neck was rigidly incascd in q
high, thick collar Of silk and whipcord,
and his eyes were protected by iron gog-
giles as large as small teacups, from which
q strap passed round the ears to be buckled
at tho back Of the head. His second was
somewhat similarly equipped, and in ad-
dition wore a leather cap with strong
iron peak The other principal presently
entered the room and took up his position
at one swords length from Zimmerman.
He was closely followed by the umpire or
unparteiischer. This parsonage was a
chronic medical student of ten years
standing-a mass of genial rotundity,
with fat, amorphous face in which fea-
lures seemed a super6uity. He was duly
qualified for his responsible position by
an unlimited capacity for beer and the
glorious fact that be had never passed an
| examination. Entbroned on an armchair
q little in front of the other spectators, he
divided his time pretty equally between o
huge mug Of Munchener and long pipe
Of which the painted china bowl rested on
the ground. He now proclaimed "Silen-
tium!' and proceeded to announce the
duel. 1t was to last for 90 minutes, ex
oluding all pauses, and as usual to consist
of short bouts or ''gangs," with brief in
tervals of rest between each. The swords
long, nasty looking blades, sharp as ra.
zors and flexible as riding switohes-were
carefully wiped with disinfecting lotion
and banded to the com batants. The SEQ
onds took up their position behind and to
the left of their respective men, and gave
the word of command in the following ira:
ditional form:
"Auf die Mensur bindet die Klingenl'
(Cross blades for the duelD
"Gebunden sindp' Crossed they areD
"Losl" (GoD
The swords clash together in the pre-
liminary stroke. Then ensues brief hail:
storm Of blows so rapid that the eye refuses
] to follow them and retains only q confused
impression of flashing steel and flying
sparks. The head Of each combatant seems
to be enveloped in halo Of cleaning
points. 1t is impossible to realize that
each Of these lightning strokes Is deliber.
ately and scientifically aimed and as de-
liberately and scientifically parried.-Pan
