He called on a young lady recently
to spend the evening and when he got
ready to leave he realized that a heavy
rain was falling. He had no umbrella
or rubber coat and when the girls
father asked him to remain at the
house he readily consented. The next
morning when he was invited to a seat
at the table he very reluctantly accept
Cd. He was very and agi-
tated. He sat opposite a mirror and
discovered that he had forgotten to
comb his hair. Then he dropped his
fork on the floor and as he stopped to
pick 1t up he upset his coffee. Mat
tiers went from bad to worse until
finally in despair the young man quit
eating and put his hands under the
table. The loose end of the table cloth
was lying in his lap and when he
touched it he turned pale. He thought
1t was his shirt and that In his nervous
excitement when dressing he had for
got to put the garment inside his trou-
sers. That accounted for the smiles
and embarrassment. There was no
time to lose. He hurriedly stuffed the
supposed shirt into his trousers.

arose from the table there was a crash.

Tho Schott- Mott Duel.


This story comes down from an old
scrap book Of 1926. The papers which
have recently started it anew on its
rounds have located 1t in Texas. The
original duel vas fought in or near Phil
adelphla by Alexander Schott and John
8. Mott. Mott was shot, and Schott was
not. In this case 1t Is better to be
SchOtt than Mott. There was a rumor
that Mott was not shot, and Schott
avows that he shot Mott. which proves
either that the shot which Schott shot
at Mott vas not shot or that Mott was
shot Notwithstanding. Circumstanial
evidence Is not always good. 1t may be
made to appear on trial that the shot
Schott shot shot Mott, u, as accidents
with firearms are frequent, it may be
possible that the shot Schott shot shot
Schott himself, when the whole affair
would resolve itself into it's original
elements. and SchOtt would be shot
and Mott would be not. We think.
however, that the shot Schott shot shot
not Schott, but Mott. Anyway, 1t was
hard to tell who was shot and who was
not.

clals OF the state and representatives
chosen to represent every county of
Montana, there was unveiled today
the statue OF Marcus DAILY erected in
this city to the memory OF the man
who did 80 much to develop the min

BIT HIMSELF OUT OF JAIL.
Prisoner Wears Out Teeth CnaMina
1hrouuh Wooden Bars.

The police have captured a man
named Schaarschmidt. who esca?er
from the Gera Jail. in Germany. tire.
weeks ago.. The manner of his flight
makes one Of the most remarkable Of
all Of those told in the of
prison heroes.
Crossing the one window Of his cell
within was an oak beam Z by Z inches
square. outside of the window was
another beam, nine inches thick. These
were his only bars besides the massive
masonry of the building-that is to
say, there were no metal bars between
these wooden barriers.
But the wood, toughened by age, was
enough to make any prisoner without
tools despair. Schaarschmidt had not
even the metal shank from his shoes
to make a saw of, for he had only felt
slippers in his dungeon.
He got to work with his teeth. how
ever. upon the inside beam. It took
him three months to gnaw through
this formidable barrier. He could only
work when he was certain that his
guards were out of sight and hearing.
Before their expected return he always
covered up the ravages his teeth had
made with a structure Of brown bread,
saved from his rations. This bread
patch closely resembled the color Of
the wood, and as his work progressed
It had to be handled with extreme care
to prevent its crumbling and betraying
him.
Schaarschmidt spent seven months
In the same patient toll, gnawing like
a rat through the outer bar. One night
be judged that the apertures were
large enough, and he squeezed through.
The space was so small and the sixteen
Inches Of Jagged ends of the beam
were so tough that he tore his body
frightfully.
When he was caught, the prison sur
geons who examined him found that
he had worn his teeth down to stumps.
His jaws were developed abnormally
by his superhumqn exertions to win
his way to liberty.
