A DUEL WITH BASEBALLS

A Frenchnnan chanened an American
to fight. The American, husky six
footer from Yale, who had pitched on
the baseball team and stroked the
crew, was 10th to accept, and took@t the
matter as something Of joke. The
count presented his desire for satisfac-
ton, and at last the son Of "Old Eli'
consented to meet him, STIMULATING that
he should choose his own weapons. Sec
onds were agreed upon, and the mode
Of combat chosen by the American was
baseballs at twenty PAGES. It was dan
gerously close range for a man who
had spent three years twirling inshoots
ands outdrops over twelve-inch plate
and likely to be pretty accurate shot
with baseball; but the Frenchman
was game, and they met on the. out.

the privilege of leading off. Perhaps
he had never seen a baseball before,
and at any rate the man from Yale
had nc difficulty in lodging the ada
mantine spheres which the son of Belle
France sent scaling in his direction.
Then the American opened fire. The
first ball grazed the Frenchman' IS shout
der; the second lodged in the pit Of his
stomach and, the third, an inshoot,
caught him full on the point of the
chin. He went down and out, and
never challenged another American citi-

IT WAS A RISK


Two .Scotchmen with thirst, counted
that they could just cover the price Of
drink Of whisky. They went into
the nearest saloon, and ordered the
one drink, Sandy putting down the
money for the same. Then arose dis
cussion AS to how it could be disposed
Of to the best advantage Of both. Being
Scotchmen, it was no Alphonse !. and
CASTOR discussion. Each was disposed
to stand on his own rights, while at the
same time admitting the claim Of the
other. !: j.
At the critical moment a stranger
entered the saloon. With a wink of
his eye at his companion, Sandy turned
to the newcomer and said: "Will you
have a drink with us9' !: -
SuPPosing that the other had drank
before his entrance, the stranger said
heartily, IT WILL" and emptied the
glass. -
There was an uncertain pause for
a moment, and then the third man
said: mCome on boys and have one
They had: it. AS they went out
Sandy wiped his mouth and said:
"See, mon, lit worked. {"
Yess," was the reply, ..but oh!
what risk!''-Philadelphia Record.

THE YOUNG WIDOW

She Is modest, but not bashful;
Free and easy but not bold;
Like an apple-ripe and mellow;
Not too young, and not too old;
Half inviting, half repulsing,
Now advancing and now shy, !
There is mischief In her dimple; s
2 There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature; =
She Is schooled in all her arts;
She has taken her diploma
As the mistress of all hearts;
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
Oh. maid is sometimes charming,
But the widow all the while!
Are you sad? how very serious
Il Will her handsome face become
Are you angry /? she is wretched,
d Lonely, friendless, fearful. dumb.
Are you mirthfu1? how her laughter,
Silver sounding will ring out;
She can lure, and catch, and play you,
AS the angler does the trout.
You old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown SO bold and wise,
Young Americans Of twenty,
With the 1ovelocks in your eyes,
You may practice all your lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall,
But I know a little widow
Who could win and fool you ALL s
