by a Doctor,

An extraordinary duel. which at the
time created an immense sensation,
was one in which the decision was ar
rived ut not by swords or pistols, but
by means of deadly poison. The
men-who. it is hardly necessary to
say, had fallen out over lady-had
left the arrangement of details to their
seconds, and until they faced each 9TH
er they did not know by what method
they were to settle their differences.
One of the seconds was a doctor and
he had made up for the occasion four
black pellets, all identical in size and
shape. "In one of these he said, Il
have placed sufficient quantity of
pruSsic acid to cause the almost in
Simultaneous death of any one who
swallows it. We will decide by the
toss of coin which of you is to have
first choice, and you will alternately
draw and swallow pill until the poi.
son shows its effects" Two of the pei
lets were then taken as the toss had
decided, but without effect in either
case. This time," said the doctor
speaking Of the two pellets remaining
you must both swallow the pill al
the same instant" The choice was
again made, and in few seconds one
of the men lay dead ON the grass

A St LetIis man. John Colligan. is now

President Roosevelt has frequently
expressed himself as being proud of
his southern blood and of the part his
ancestors and immediate relatives have
had in southern history. The reproduc
tion of Bullock Hall. his mothers home,
at the jamestown exposition near Nor
folk is material evidence that the south,
and especially the state of Georgia,
which has the closest claim on him.

has taken on the negro question, says
the St Louis Post Dispatch.

President Roosevelt's appeal to the
sentiment of the south is not merely
the passive fact that his mother and
her people lived there. however. The
name of Bullock stands for as much
