\ THE CODE OF HONOR.
sDuelfng ms 1t Was In France I'm the
~ Time sof Richelieu. &5..sse

- Time sOf R3chelieu. Sal .
@ The passion for dueling, which had
cost France, it was said, between
7.00D and 5000 lives during the twenty
years of Henry Tvs reign, was at its
height when his son came to the
throne. The council of Trent in 1916
had solemnly condemned the practice
of single combat, impartially includ-
Ing principals, seconds and spectators
in its penalty Of communication. In
1902 an sedict of Henry pronounced the
'damnable custom Of dueling intro
duced by the corruption of the CEN
tufy' to he the cause Of so many pite-
Gus accidents, to the extreme regret
and displeasure Of the king and to the
trreparable damage of the state, that
we should count ourselves unworthy
to hold the scepter If we delayed to
repress the 'enormity of this crime"
A whole series of ,edicts followed to
the same effect, but it was easier to
make edicts than to enforce them.
Degradation, imprisonment, ,confisca-
ton of property, loss of civil rights
and death Were the penalties attached
to the Infringement of the laws against
dueGng, aud still the practice pre-
vailed. In. 1926 Richelieu published a
milder form of prohibition. The first
offense was no longer capital, a third
only of the Offenders property was to
be confscated, and the judges were
permitted to recognize extenuating cir
cumstanees.
A&feW months later the ,Comte de
BouteRille thought fit to test the min
listers patience in this direction. The
Place Royale had long been favorite
dueling ground, and De Bouteville
travelled from Brussels to fight his
twenty-second duel here, in the heart
OF Paris, in deliberate defiance of the
kings authority. The result was not
encouraging. Montmorency though he
was, the count went with his second
to the seaffo1d, and the marked de-
crease from that time in the number
Of duets may be attributed either to
the moderation used in framing the
law or to the memorable resolution
with which it was enforced. Macmil-

Chopin and Mendelssohn he was own

resemblance between Liszt and himself
led to many amusing contretemps on
this score. And soyereigns, diplo-

proud to name him among their friends.
In him, then, Norway had found one

MENTAL ATTITUDE.

Success In Life.
The mental attitude which we al
ways hold toward our work or our aim
has everything to do with what we
may accomplish. If you go to your
work with the attitude of a slave who
goes dashed to his task and see in it
only drudgery; if you work without
hope, seeing no future in what you are
doing beyond getting a bare living; if
you see no light ahead, nothing but
poverty, deprivation and hard work
all your life; if you think that you
We're destined to such hard life, you
cannot expect anything else than that
which you look for.
If, on the other hand, no matter how
poor you may be today, you can see a
better future; if you believe that some
day you are going to rise out of hum
drum work, that you are going to get
up out Of the basement of life into the
drawing room, where beauty, comfort
and joy await you; if your ambition is
clean cut and you keep your eye stead
lily upon the goal which you hope to
reach and feel confident that you have
the ability to attain it, you will accom-
plish something WoSth while. The di-
rection of your effort will follow your
eye. If that looks up as we'll as on,
you will climb.
That one quality Of holding persist
emily the faith in themselves and new
er allowing anything to weaken the be-
lief that somehow they would accom-
plish what they undertook has been the
underlying principle Of all great
ach1evers. The great majority Of men
and women who have given civilization
great uplift started poor and for
many dark years saw no hope of ac-
complishing their ambition, but they
Kept on working and believing that
'omehow way would be opened.
Think Of what this attitude Of hopeful
ness and faith has done for the worlds
great inventors - how most of them
plodded on through many years Of dry,
dreary drudgery before the light came,
and the light would never have come

endeavor.

LincOln's Carelessness,

When Lincoln was postmaster OF
New Salem he used to tuck the letters
inside his hat and deliver them when.
ever he happened to meet the persons
to whom they were addressed. AS
this is fair example of his business
system, it may readily be imagined
that the Office of Stuart & Lincoln
was not a model establishment where
there was place for everything and
everything in it's place. And it was
not. Indeed, as a managing clerk the
junior partner would have been a
hopeless failure, and as an attorney,
in the technical sense of the term, he
would never have distinguished him.
self. He disliked everything con-
nected with the drudgery of legal
routine, hated drawing the declara-
tions and pleas, despised the artif-
cialities and refnements which were
even then beginning to creep into the
pleadings, and disregarded forms
whenever it was possible to do so.
There was nothing mechanical, pre-
else, or methodical about the man.
and in all those housewifely virtues
which characterized the careful, or
derby, exact solicitor he was utterly
deficient. He never knew where his
papers were, and apparently the only
attempt he ever made to better the dis
order was to write on one of his bun
dies of papers which Uttered his desk:
when you can't find it anywhere
else look in this.'' But that was
long after the firm of Stuart & Lin
coin had dissolved, and even then we
find him explaining to correspondent
that he had placed his letter inside an
old hat and had thus neglected an
swering it, which shows he had not
wholly outgrown the habit of his post
Office days. Indeed, his hat continued
to be his favofite receptacle for pa
pers as long as he lived, and he never
acquired any sense of order. Fred
