When dueling was an actual factor in the social order of this country. it had many worthy and notable expo nents, including no less distinguished personages than Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson, Alexander Hamilton, De Witt Clinton, Stephen Decatur and others of the same type, but nowhere on this continent was it so much an establish ed institution as in that peculiarly TO- mantle old city of New Orleans II was woven into the very fabric of the life of the community. and many I crumbling tombstone in the antiquated creole cemeteries bears grim and s- lent witness to the fact, though to un derstand the situation more clearly one should breathe, so to speak, the atmos phere of the period.-Louis J.

Unfortunately tho value of both !s lessened in foggy weather from there being but little motion of the sea.

MORE SLIPPERS
 FOR TEXAS

Houston, Tex, Oct, 7.-In an effort to force the railroad compan- ies of Texas to take over their own sleeping car service and thus be- come amenable to such sleeping car rates as the commission may decide, the Texas railroad co nmls- sion will hold a hearing tomorrow to consider the matter of requiring the railroads to purchase sufficient sleeping car equipment to accoTo- date the demands of the travelling public between points on railroads in Texas. The hearing is called by virtue of an act of the last legisla- ture. The commission last year ordered a reduction in the sleeping car rates, but the order was rem dered ineffective by an injunction issued by the federal court on the appeal of the Pullman company. This new move of the commission is independent of the old order, and is by virtue of the new law. The commission alleges that the furnish ing of sleeping cars is the business of the railroad companys and that they should be made to supply them, not the Pullman company, over which the commission has no ju- isdictiOn.

ARMY HORSEMAN-
 SHIP TEST

Washington, Oct. 7.-Fashionable residents of Sixteenth street, or the "avenue of the president will have an opportunity to witness novel spectacle tomorrow morning-nothing less than a rough rider contest in the heart of the capital. All staff field Z officers on duty in Washington and vicinty, some fifty in number, have been ordered to- assemble early to- morrow, mounted and in khaki uni form, and proceed to ride fifteen miles at breakneck speed, with the purpose of demonstrating their pro- ficiency in horsemanship and their fitness for the service. The order was issued by direction of the presi- do1t, who is said to to have intimat-
 V that some of the officers had de- generated through their long stay in Washington into mere society molly coddles. It is fact that there are many staff officers who have not been astride a horse for a decade or more and there is much anxiety in army circles as to what the morrow will bring forth. Since the order was is- sued many of the derelict ones have been consistently practicing horse manship, but it is feared that the rough rider tactics prescribed by the president will be too severe for them. Some of these are wondering what will happen if they fail to make good in the horsemanship tests.
 The idea that army officers should be proficient in riding originated with the president, who found that certain officers of the line were unable to keep pace with their commander in chief. His letter, suggesting prac- tice, was referred to Secertary Taft, and by him to the general staff for action. The suggestion was not only approved, but was made to include staff as we'll as field officers.
 The occupation of many of the staff officers is purely sendentary, and is likely to remain so throughout their army careers. These men are unabel to see in what manner it will demon strate their ability to construe mili- tary law or promote their efficiency at desk work to be able to ride fifteen heart-breaking miles without stop ping, but like true soldiers they are preparing for the attempt. Some of them, however, who have become fat and stiff in their old age, are not looking forward to the contest with any noticeable degree of enthusiasm. The route selected will be out Six teenth street, through Rock Creek park and the National park into Maryland and return.

 In my little garden on city stree the straight walk that led from thf gate to the front stoop looked hope, !essly unattractive-just straight co ment path with the grass on each side writes a correspondent of the Cleye. land Plain Dealer. Ten cents worth of nasturtium seeds changed 1t so much that 1t changed the appearance of the whole garden.
 I used the many colored dwarf vari- sty. It grows literally of itself. Plant the seeds in shallow holes, water well, and the plant does the rest. It is prac- tically free from insect enemies. and a few plants will produce blossoms enough to supply the house daily for the season. A pretty way to use them for table decoration is to cut them off short and float them on shallow glass dish or even a saucer. This way they make a dainty little bed of yellows cinnamons, maroons and orange in the center of the table.

Foreign papers tell a story of wo- n1an at Phillipeville, in Algeria, who was seated by her baby's cradle on the veranda of her house when she was called within by her husband. Re turning to the veranda after an ab sence of a few minutes, she found the cradle knocked over and the baby gone Next day native shepherds discovered in the undergrowth of wood the bones of a young child and string cf amber beads, which were immediately recognized by the mother as having been on her child's neck. 'There is no doubt that the infant was carried of and devoured by jackals," core spondent adds.

A Fish Story.

The latest fish story concerns the herring and sea gull, and it comes from Nanaimo. A boat load of herring containing about fifteen tons, was left at Johnston's wharf, Nanaimo, durins' the noon hour while the flsherrien went to dinner. During their absence several thousand sea gulls-the chron- iclcr says 1O,OOO-ate all the fish on one side of the boat with such good results that they emptied it, and when the last herring had been removed from that side it was like the last straw that broke the cameTs back, for the boat, with all the weight on the other side upset, spilling all the remaining fish into the water-Shanghai Mercury.

Describing a Railroad.

The Pail Mall Gazette in 1890 asked its readers to name the worst railway in England. And one English kicker answered thus: "Sir-The Southeastern railway is the very worst railway in the world. The engines are asthmatic. It's lamps are trimmed by foolish vir- gins. It's fares are excessive. It's car riages let in the snow in winter and are furnaces in summer. Its motto is unpunctuality. It's principal station is approached through the neck of bot tie. It ruins the temper. destroys the digestion and enables one to realize the horrors of Dante's Inferno I am. sir, yours obediently. the Worm Who Turns"

What Is an Orator?

The true orator is the man who can make people laugh, cry and feel what he says. In truth, the genuine orator is the man who has humor enough in his soul to bring the smile to the face, pathos enough in his heart to bring the tear to the eye and dignity enough in his bearing to persuade or move Hc:.., He is an exponent of the srvKen word. He is a pilgrim moving toward the home of the ideal. He is the e1nbodi- ment of earnestness, enthusiasm and eloquence-Exchange.

NEW LABOR PARTY FORMING
Says Miners Federation to Quit
Industrial Workers

DENVER, June 19.-AS an outcome
Of the split between the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners and the Industrial
Workers of the World, new interna-
tional industrial organization may be
launched in the near future. Acting
President c. E. Mahoney of the west
tern federation, which is now holding
it's fifteenth annual convention in Den
yer, has already Endorsed the policy of
refusing to pay any more per capita
tax to the Industrial Workers of the
World and is inclined to join in the
movement for a new Industrial order
1T is quite probable" said Mr.. Ma
honey today, that a new industrial
labor organization will be formed,
with such orders as the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners and the Brewery
Workers Union to start it, and with
many more influential labor bodies
fiocking to it as soon as success
seems probable. There seems to be a
strong inclination for such a move,
but at this time I cannot say Posi-
lively what will be DONE"
The federation officers today re-
ceived a letter from w. NJ. Canaman,
secretary of TIE Industrial Workers Of
the World. saying he would be glad to
resign in favor of any other man if by
so doing the western federation could
be induced to return to the organiZa-
ton and pay up its back dues, which
have been withheld.

TOPICS TOO HEAVY.

From a RESPONSIBLE source we have
a list of subjects actually assigned to
school children between II and Ia
wears. upon which they are to write
ESSAYS" or get up debates" Among
them are the following: ''The influence
of the United Statess upon the
worlds diplomacy" Daniel Webster's
sneeches." "The Constitution of the
J-ni+ed States" "Resolved. That any
infringement upon the dual interpre-
tation of the Constitution of the Unit
ed States should he regarded as
menace to the stability of democratic
Institutions estate rights Some
thing against national and state SOW
ereienty." American coinage" TRADE
in the east during the fifteenth CEN
tury," Liquid air." Educational prog
ress in the United States from the
civil war mp to the present time" &c
onomic development of the United
States from the civil war up to the
present time" Early Roman law"
and was Brutus justified in killing
Caesar"
1t is difficult to believe that mere
stupidity accounts for "educationaf'
practices of this kind, says the New
York Evening Post. Nor is it easy to
accept the defense of certain teach
ers that they know the topics are be-
yond the grasp Of their pupils, but
that the children are morally, and to
some extent intellectually, benefited
by the effort to get from books some
knowledge about them. The child who
is conscientious enough to go to a Ii
brary and try to puzzle out these sub
jects will come presently to hate the
sight Of all books. Moreover. the only
way in which children are able to use
books in preparing" for debates or
essays upon such themes is likely to
lead to demoralizing habits. They will
not easily learn the difference be-
tween legitimate and dishonest use of
sources. To force a child to make such
use of books is too apt to result in
shameless and habitual plagiarizing.

EMBEzzLEs LODGE FUNDS
Clerk Of W0Odmen Of The World
Under Arrest

TACOMA, June 19.-Walter G.
Croker, clerk of the WOodmen of the
World here, is under arrest charged
with embezzling funds of local camps.
He is alleged to be short anywhere
from 5000 to $4,000. September last
Crooker'S two daughters, both young
women, died from typhoid fever Then
his wife died. and there followed a
long spell of sickness of his son. Beat
en- down by these great misfortunes
and by becoming sick himself Crook
er's friends say, his mind became un-
balanced.
Shortages, it is said, were noticed in
his accounts two months ago and he
was given the opportunity to make
them good. but instead continued get
ting deeper. A week ago he disap-
peared after resigning his position,
and his relatives feared he had COM
mitted suicide. His eastern bonds
men sent an imperative order that he
be arrested and prosecuted. Search
for him was vigorously pushed, and it
was found he had gone to Vashon
island, where he has a ranch. He re-
turned to Tacoma and was arrested.
