A YUMA DUEL
A Waste of Lead but no Expenditure
 of Blood.

A pistol duel took place at the Cor ner saloon Sunday night between Miles O. Archibald and J. L. Hickey, but fortunately it was bloodless, though five or six shots were exchanged at short range, according to the Sentinel. The battle was furious while it lasted and it is remarkable that none of the shots found a victim. The affair caus

WE'RE THE ONLY PRIvATEs.
Daughter of Revolutionary Ancestors
Made Discovery.

Mdoc DlSCONCfys
At the reception which followed
convention of Sons and Daughters of
the Revolution, one handsome young
woman was especially observed. She
was not only beautiful, but she bore
herself with great dignity. Surely she
must come of unusually distinguished
lineage, reflected the young man from
the West. Having obtained an intro
duction to her, he could not resist the
temptation to ask some questions.
"Your Revolutionary family record"
he said tentatively, sis remarkable
one, 1 suppose?"
Yes, it is" she replied promptly.
"My great-great-great-gra grandfather,
Massachusetts farmer, sent his six
sons to Bunker Hill, all private sol
diers!"
While the young man was looking at
her, somewhat surprised, she glanced
cautiously round, as if fearful of be-
ing overheard.

hurriedly, that there is stain upon
our record. One of the six became

who remained privates even until the
surrender at Yorktown. 1 confess that
once did not appreciate this thing at

many gatherings of the Sons and
Daughters and hearing the speeches
and listening to the records and other
statements has convinced me that be-
yond doubt those five ancestors of ours
were the only privates in the Revolu-
tionary armies "-Youth's Companion.

FOOD IN SERMONS.
Feed the Dominic Right and the Ser
mons are Brilliant.

A conscientious, hard-working and
eminently successful clergyman
writes: 81 am glad to bear testimony
to the pleasure and increased meas
ure of efficiency and health that have
come to me from adopting Grape-Nuts
food as one of my articles of diet.
For several years l was much dis
tressed during the early part of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast,
usually consisting Of oatmeal, milk
and eggs, seemed to turn sour and
failed to digest. After dinner the
headache and other symptoms follow
ing the breakfast would wear away,
only to return, however, next morn
ing.
Having heard of Grape-Nuts food,
I finally concluded to give it fair
trial. l quit the use of oatmeal and
eggs, and made my breakfasts OF
Grape-Nuts, cream, toast and Postum.
The result was surprising in improy-
ed health and total absence of the
distress that had, for so long time.
followed the morning meal. My diges-
ton became once more satisfactory,
the headaches ceased, and the old
feeling of energy returned. Since that
time, four years ago, 4 have always
had Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast
table.
Il was delighted to find also, that
whereas before I began to use Grape
Nuts food was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work Of
preparing sermons and in study, a
marked improvement in this respect
resulted from the change in my diet.
1 am convinced that Grape-Nuts food
produced this result and helped me
to sturdy condition Of mental and
. physical strength.

who were formerly troubled as I was.
and who have been helped as have
been, by the use Of Grape-Nuts food.

THE VALUE o ANTIsEPTIcs.
Discovery Made Delicate Surgical op'
erations Possible.

Discovery Made Delicate Surgical OPP
erations Possible.
The use of antiseptics made it pos
sible for the surgeon to undertake op-
erations that were before then impos-
sible. The surgeon of forty years ago
would not perform an operation that
involved the penetration of the peri
toneum-the thin membrane that lines
the wall of the abdomen-without the
gravest hesitation and foreboding.
This delicate lining always quickly
and acutely resented interference by
becoming inf1amed, and in nine cases
out of ten death was certain. Today
the surgeon will pierce this wall with
out conjunction, because by the use
of antiseptics he is able, except in
rare cases, to keep it free from all in
furious interference. By the use of
antiseptics, too, wounds heal much
more quickly. In the old days an
amputated limb meant six weeks in
bed and constant changes of dressing.
Now it only means confinement for
a fortnight, with one change of dress
ing. The surgeon does not need to
take off the bandages "just to see that
it is going all right. He can ascer-
tain all that he wants to know from
the temperature and pulse of the pa,

WHY EYESIGHT FAILS
INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FIRE.
QUENTLY THE CAUSE.
llIuminants of the Past, One and All,
Have Serious Defects-AcetyIene
Gas, with Its Clear, Unwavering, Yet
Soft Flame Cannot Hurt the Eyes.

Chicago, June 20.-No one can
go into our schools or meet a
group of children on the street
of them wear spectacles. The proper
ton seems to increase yearly. and
there are many more who ought to
wear glasses. The experience of one
teacher might be duplicated by the
score. She knew Alice was inatten-
tive and she thought she was unusual
ly stupid. She said so to the principal
and sent note to the mother, re-
questing that the child be helped at
home if she wished her to keep up
with her class. One day after black
board explanation, the teacher called
upon the child and found that she
had not seen what had been written.
She was kept after school and by dint
of much sympathetic questioning Miss
G. found that Alice had never been
able to see what was put on the board
and that her head had ached so often
and so hard that she frequently failed
to hear what was said.
Such a condition may be caused by

can homes it is usually due to the
poor quality of the artificial light. The
yellow, insufficient light of the ordi-
nary kerosene lamp, with its smoky
chimney, is about as bad for the eyes
as can be imagined. The Pickering
light from a coal gas jet is but little
better, and even the electric light,
brilliant as it usually is, has an I'M
steadiness due to variations in power,
and a glare peculiarly trying to the
delicate nerves of sight. The compar-
atively new illuminant acetylene gas
produces as nearly perfect an artificial
light as has yet been found. 1t gives
a clear white, unwavering light, very
brilliant yet perfectly soft, and so
nearly like the rays of the sun that
even colors appear as in daylight.
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and oheaply produced, and the simple
c-1aratus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes, churches,
schools and institutions of all kinds,
and it is reasonable to expect that as
it's use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes, particu-
larly among children. Poor eyesight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant.

No guarantee goes with the silver.
tongued orator.

At the conference of the managers
of the New York Central Lines, held
in New York June 9Th, all lines be-
ing represented by their General
Managers and Passenger officials, it
was decided, beginning with the regu-
lar summer change, Sunday, June
18th, to quicken the speed of the
Twentieth Century Limited" so as
to make the time between New York
and Chicago eighteen hours instead of
twenty hours, the New York Central
Lines having made the twenty hour
time during the past three years, and
having also made the run between
New York and Chicago in twenty
hours with their Exposition Flyer"
for the one hundred and eighty days
Of the Columbian Exposition in Chi
cago in 1898, twelve years ago.
The New York Central Lines make
the point that the New York Central
has had in service the Empire State
Express" which has been the fastest
train in the world for its distance,
440 miles for fourteen years, having
held the worlds record for that time,
and for three years and $50 days hay
ing held the worlds record for
thousand mile train in twenty hours.
The proposed schedule of eighteen
hours is simply the extension of the
time of the Empire State Express"
through from Buffalo to Chicago, the
time having been made for fourteen
years between New York and Buffalo.
On this new schedule, the train will
leave Chicago at 2:30 p. M, arriving
Grand Central Station, New York,
at $50 next morning, and returning,
will leave New York $3.50 p. m, reach
ing Chicago $3.50 a. m. following day.
At the same time, the Lake Shore
Limited" will be quickened up an
hour, and will make the time from
Chicago to New York in % hours in
stead of "a, leaving Chicago $50 p.
M, by the Lake Shore and arriving
New York $50 p. M, by the New
York Central.
The Southwestern Limited" train,
No II, which now leaves Grand Cen
trail station at p. m, will, beginning
June 18th, leave at 2:04 p. M, saving
an hour to an hour and half on the
present journey to st. Lomis and Gin
cinnati"

Hard-Luck Story.

81 have just heard real hard-luck
story from one of my constituents, -
said Judge Bartlett of Georgia. There
has been considerable snow in Georgia,
and my constituent who lives in pro-
hibition county, was going to dance.
He had to drive fifteen miles. He
sent to an adjoining county for a quart
Of whisky. On the night of the dance
he decided to save the whisky.
Before he went into the house he
looked around for place to hide his
treasure. He saw pile of brush near
by, and going over to it took the pre-
cious quart and pushed it under the
brush. In about one second he heard
a muff1ed splash. He had tried to
hide, perhaps, the only quart of whis-
ky in the county in an abandoned
well."-Houston Chronicle.

MIND CURE OF THE INDIAN.
Inherited Superstition Makes tn

Inherited Superstition Makes the
Medicine Man Necessity.
The skilled professional doctor is
one of the greatest helps to the Indi-
ans and the Navajos are receiving
him with very little distrust The
savage Misrepresentation of things
that are new is gradually subsiding,
as results make clear to him that the
white mans medicine is more power
full than his. But there are excep-
tons. The purely physical troubles
may be eradicated by the doctor, but
there still remains, in many cases, a
mental uncertainty that demands the
attention of the tribal medicine man.
1t is not foible or fancy that can
be overcome by medicine, but men,
tai disease governed by countless ages
Of mysticism which necessitates the
occult, undressing treatment Of the
old days. This, then, is the mind
cure of the Indians-the Christian sci
ence of the savage, which,. hand in
hand with concrete medicine, exists
in all races, whether barbaric or cul-
tured. 1t is as necessary to the Indi-
an as a certain amount of mind cure
is essential to our happiness.
The knowledge of modern curative
agents should be impaired to the
younger members of the tribe. They
are capable of assimilating new facts
and will take readily to the new
school Civilization is disrupting the
major portion of the old laws and be-
liefs relating to the cause and cure
of disease will soon be things Of the
PAST. With this essential of the old
life gone the work of the medicine

ent there must be certain co-opera-

the recovery of strength. The tonic that

typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had a good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages. When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex.
cept to build up her strength, which was
very feeble, and he gave her some pre-
scriptions for that purpose. Here. how.
ever, she met with disappointment.
"I took the DOCTORS tonics, she says,
"for two months after had recovered
from the fever, but they did not do me

back SO slowly that scarcely seemed to
be making any progress at all. Just
