Good Amateur caricaturist.

Among the accomplishments OF Mr..
Lowther. speaker of the house of
commons. is that of caricaturing.
Those who have seen his sketches
pronounce them excellent caricatures
as well as good likenesses. This
should prove profitable as well as an
amusing pastime with which to while
away many dreary parliamentary

a particularly interesting diary-and
1t Is pretty safe to say that this will
ultimately reach the public. In this

be undoubtedly more valuable If 1t Is

FOUND A LOOPHOLE
BLOODY MEETING ON FIELD OF
HONOR AvERTEp.
Explanation Which Seems Slightly
Humorous Was Sufficient to Restore
Broken rendshlp-DiIatory Ferry
man q Factor In Reconciliation.

Not far below Augusta, Ca, the Sa.
vannah river Is crossed by an anti.
Quated flatboat, hanging by cable
from post far upstream and impelled
from bank to bank by the action Of
the current This is the Sandbar
ferry, and from time immemorial,
until the abolition of dueling, the
banks Of the river on both sides were
bloody fields Of so-called honor.
Gentlemen of South Carolina, hav.
ing quarreled, crossed in the rickety
hatboat with their seconds and fought
their battles on Georgia soil, and
Georgia went over to the Palmetto
state for their shooting or swordplay.
Thither, one day, went a solemn
procession Of principals, seconds and
witnesses, most Of them representa-
tives Of the Georgia bar. They were
more solemn than usual, for the fight
they were to witness was to wipe out
the most terrible of insults. Two we'll
known lawyers of Rome, who had
been lifelong friends, had fallen out,
and one Of them, in the height Of q
dispute, had reviled the other with
all the terrible words he could lay his
tongue to.
There had been a score of men pres
ent to hear and to prevent an imme-
diate shooting, and now the two de-
voted friends, turned enemies, rode
with their party toward the fatal
ground where they were to make tar.
get practice on each other Each of
them was downcast and gloomy, for
at heart they were devoted. But the
insult was deadly, and there seemed
no escape with honor from the en-
counter.
When they arrived at the ferry,
however, the flatboat was on the other
side. A second picked up the horn
from the post and blew 1t Justify. Over
and over he sounded it, until from a
distant field the aged ferryman came
sauntering leisurely down to his craft.
The two lawyers sat side by side on
their horses and watched his slow
progress. The strain grew momentar.
lily heavier and the men gloomier. At
last one Of them-the insulted-could
stand it no longer.
"Jim," he said impulsively, "befo'
We go out of Geo'gia l want you to

you ever come to apply all those epi-
thets to me?"

1t in my professional capacity"
The face Of the man who had been
insulted lighted up with a smile Of
great relief and he held out his hand.
II knew 1t! l knew it!' he cried.
Shake on 1t! Who ever heard of
holding a lawyer responsible for what
he said in his professional capacity ?
1t would be madness. sub. madness!"
They shook hands fervently and the
duel was declared off.-Youth's Com.

NATURE AIDED CURE
SIMPLE REMEDY PROVED bet.
TER THAN DRUGS.
Unexpected Recovery Of Patient In
the Last Stages Of illness Given as
Lessen to the Medical Profession
Cravings Of Invalid Heed.

Being called in consultation not
long since, we were brought to the
bedside OF patient who had under.
gone severe surgical operation.
The patient had been fasting several
days. The surgeon was afraid, IL he
allowed his patient to eat or drink,
that fever or secondary Inflammation
would set in.
His patient had a fancy that she
wanted watermelon to eat. The doc
tor held up his hands in horror at the
thought. "Oh, no! Watermelon
would be the worst thing you could
possibly have" So she was obliged
to take beef tea. although it made
her sick every time she did SO. She
begged piteously for watermelon. But
none was allowed her.
Then consultation was asked for
and 1t was at this juncture that our
advice was asked. We said, Let her
have the watermelon, of course. It
will do her good. 1t is sure to do her
good because she wants 1t. Nature
knows better than we do what she
ought to have"
ment was overruled.
We were recalled. however, after a
day or two had elapsed. The patients
tongue was dry and lips parched and
the fever raging higher and higher
The symptom, however, which fright
ened the doctor most was hiccough
Generally, hiccough in such a state is
fatal symptom. He saw that his
patient was going to die, and SO we
were again consulted.
This time we insisted that our ad-
vice should be taken. A good water
melon was procured and the patient
was allowed to eat all she wished of
1t. She fell into a refreshing sleep
shortly afterward, her fever was low
er, the kidneys acted promptly and
she was in every way improved. She
was then allowed to have more water
melon, and after that her own wish
was consulted whenever food or drink
was given her.
She made a rapid recovery. No
medicine was used. Her remedies
were those prompted by nature and
suggested by her own appetite.
Had this marvellous recovery been
due to the use of any drug it would
have been advertised in every medical
journal in the land. But simply be.
cause they were natural remedies,
just simple foods and drinks which
the patient herself asked for, no ad-
yertisement will be given them. The
doctors seem to despise such cures.
Let the patients. especially patients
suffering with acute diseases, let them
have what they ask for Their wish is
much more likely to be a proper rem
edy than anything the doctor knows
Of
We are not recommending water
melon for fever patients. We are only
recommending that the patient should
be allowed to have anything he asks
for, provided the patient is in his
right mind. In a delirium 1t is pre-
sumed that patients are liable to want
things that would not be advisable.
But so long as the patient is in
normal condition of mind. what he
wishes for is natures own remedy,
and it should be granted at once, with
perfect confidence in the result

The White Sox won the baseball
championship of the world Yesterday
when they defeated the Cubs in the
sixth game Of the series by the score

The game was played before nearly
10000 fans, who saw Mordecai Brown,

time this season, and supplanted by
overall who found the handicap of
four runs, with the score 5 to l in
favor of the Sox. too great to over
come.

last part of the second inning the
game was so far out of the hands of
the Cubs that two more runs We're Sc

look foolish, did not break when they
should, and with eight hits and FIVE

After the first two innings were over
