which the sender claims he saw one
Japanese warship sink The fact
that no mention was made of this in

We have noted during the past

have been committed in the neigh
boring towns by cracking safes and

should have one clause to keep the
professional beggers who reach
this town every day, and who are
becoming a nuisance. Some time

RAIsuL1's PLUcK.-"At Tangter, said
a Chicagoan, II once saw Raisuli. He
looked as magnificent as an Indian
Ra1ah, and a Frenchman told me that
he had foolhardly and reckless valor.
This Frenchman said that Raisuli
had entered the shooting gallery OF
Tangier one day while Tunisian was
trying a little pistol practice.
THE Tunisian was an excellent shot.
He broke glass balls, rang bells, split
pipe stems, and penetrated bulls eyes
without number. At each shot po-
lite murmur Of applause arose. The
man was all puffed up with triumph.
"Raisuli looked on with a sneer, and
finally he said in loud voice:
"Tn a duel this gentleman wouldn't
shoot so WELL
well see about that yelled the
Tunisian, and he challenged Raisuli,
and 10 minutes later they were on the
field.
"They were to fight at ~ PAGES each
to fire one shot. Lots were drawn as
to who should shoot first and Raisui
lost. He took his stand before the
Tunisian calmly, and the latter lifted
up his weapon, took careful aim and
missed.
"Raisuli smiled. What did l tell
you?' he said.
And he thrust his pistol In his belt
and strode away humming French
song"
