words. The Judge asked me TO his
house. and after we had partaken of a
cocktail or two, started in to read the
poem. To my intense surprise, had
not yet finished the first verse when
the Judge made criticism. l had made
attribute rhyme with distribute,
which is perfectly poetical, but the
Judge thought different. In the second
verse he suggested three changes; in
the third verse four, and in the fourth
verse he claimed to find false syntax,
bad rhyme and something like sacri-
lege. Four verses were all 1 read.
"'Go ahead. Jim,' says the Colonel

that it was the lamest thing he ever
heard IN brief. sub, the Judge strong
ly intim2ted that was a moonstruck
ass for wasting time on a poem instead
of attending to my garden. When his
words were repeated TO me I took the

THE Judge wouldn't believe for
some time that I was in earnest, but
when he realized that was, he
showed his gameness. He accepted
the challenge and named pistols, and
we were to met in two days. The
coming duel aroused the widest ex-
citement, but it didn't come off. L

the Judge insisted on my taking two
weeks to get well in. I offered to
fight that duel blindfolded, but he
wouldn't hear of It.
The two weeks were up within two
days, and i was indulging in target
practice, when the Judge was taken
down with the mumps. Yes, suh,

mighty bad at that. He was willing
to meet me with his jaws tied up in

postponed for three weeks, and after

telegraphed me to come over and bring

hands he said:
Jim, / want to hear that poem
again. Maybe I did you injustice
sub, do you want to insult me a

Not at all. Perhaps / was off that
day and couldn't appreciate poetry
IT finally decided to meet him half
way and went ahead and read five
verses. Then he stopped me and
tainted away jest like woman, and
when he recovered he had the cheek
to tell me that was all owing to my
poetry. 1t was then, suh--it was then
that determined not to spare his life,
and that the duel must be fought at
the date named. even If we were both
