That party allegiance is preferable to

demonstrated by the three young mer
who upheld the affirmative of the prop

contest at the National University Law
School last night.

The decision that the affirmative had
shifted the burden of proof with which
they were handicapped at the outset of
the debate upon the proposition, That
party allegiance is preferable 10 inde-

pointed out by the affirmative that if

vocated existed in America We should
at present be surrounded by a chaos

spectators went away with the opinion
that it was better to let good enough

What a Lauoh Does.

A physician says that there is not
one remotest corner or little inlet
of the minute blood vessels of the
human body that does not feel some
wavelet from the convulsions Occa-
stoned by good, hearty laughter. The
life principle of the central man is
shaken to the innermost depths,
sending new tides Of life and
strength to the surface, thus ma
terially tending to insure good
health to The persons who indulge
therein. The blood moves more rap
idly and conveys a different impress
sion to all the organs of the body,
as it visits them on the particular
mystic journey when the man is
laughing, from what is done at other
times. For this reason every good,
hearty laugh in which person in
dulges tends to lengthen his life,
conveying, as it does, new and dis
tinct stimulus to the vital forces

DUELING STORIES.
A Combat That Won Applause In the
Time Of Charles TX.

In it's medieval form dueling
was a serious affair. The loser was
not only regarded as under the di-
vine displeasure, but as the abso-
lutte property of the victor. He
might be hanged or kept prisoner or
handed over for disposal to the lady
in the case. De Fendilles refused to
enter the lists till he had seen a
fire lighted and gallows made
ready to hang and burn his enemy
after the victory he made so sure
of. Another method of the times
barbarism was to drag the beaten
man around the field, dead or alive.
Even Bayard complied with this
most unchivalrous custom. There
were doctors of dueling, who were
consulted just as were advocates of
law, and the institution became en-
tangled in the intricacies of red
tape. The regulation about the
choice of arms gave rise to many
abuses.
A case much admired at the time
was that of two gentlemen in the
reign of Charles TX of France, who
rowed over to the Isle du Palais in
order to be free from interruption.
Just as they were about to cross
by themselves and without any sec
onds-they saw a number of gentle
men making for the quay to get
boats and come and separate them.
But they ordered the boatmen-
they were both in one boat-to hur-
ry and get them across as they were
on urgent business. AS soon as
they touched shore they said to each
other no more than "Let us get to
work. These people will be here
in a minute" And so they did
scarcely crossing swords before each
man killed the other. Thus they
were found dying side by side.
There was historic case at Pied
mont, in which fencing master ad
vised a young gentleman under his
tuition to fight with dagger and
sword and a steel collar around the
neck of each duelist, with sharp
points above and below. The young
man was short of stature, and the
arrangement enabled him to look
up at his adversary comfortably,
while the latter could not look down
at all without the risk of nearly cut
ting his head off by his own exer-
tions. Consequently the young gen.
tleman dispatched him very easily
in a couple of strokes.-Chicago
