termines its duration, seems to be be-

CONTEST BETWEEN STATES.

The supremacy of the Kentuc-
ky girl has been challenged.
Secretary R. E. Hughes of the
Kentucky State Fair has received
a letter from Commissioner S. G.
Cooper, of Oregon, in which he
tries to make arrangements fora
drill and vocal contest between
forty of the best looking young
women of Oregon and an equal
number of the pretty girls of
Kentucky, at the Kentucky State
Fair in Louisville, September
1921. The Oregon girls are
coming east on what they have
already termed a ''Triumphal
Tour Their ultimate destina-
ton is the Jamestown Exposition.
Enroute to and from Norfolk,
they want to stop at Louisville
and give an exhibition of their
gracefulness as drill corps, and
a display of their vocal ability.
Commissioner Cooper suggest
ed that President Roosevelt be
asked to name a commission of
three to pass upon the merits of
the Kentucky girls and the Ore
gon girls.
Any community in Kentucky
which has some young ladies who
desire to enter into this contest
will confer a favor upon Secreta-
ry Hughes by corresponding with
him at once.

ACROSS THE STORE COUNTER.

1t is the paraphernalia of life
which changes; human nature
remains much the same. Old
stores of earlier days, with their
assorted goods and local gossip,
have yielded their place in the
busy towns, or have been pushed
far into the rural districts.
There were no commercial tray
elers in the old times, nor "bar-
gain sales," but the woman shop
per, with her inconsequent ways,
was just the same as she is to-
day, and the smart salesman eX-
listed, too. In proof of this, F.
A. Currier gives two stories of
old shops of Fitchburg, Mass. in
an article on bygone shopping
district of that town.
A lady entered one Of the
stores where hats and caps were
kept, and turned over the whole
of the stock. Nothing seemed to
suit her taste.
''Have you nothing of a SUBJ
dued mouse color?" she asked at
last.
For a moment the salesman
was staggered, but he recovered
his breath. mo, madam" he
replied, 'but we have some in
enraged rat color"
Another woman, in search of a
certain kind of basket, made the
salesman reach down every arti-
Gle of that nature on the shelves,
save two. Then she said, as she
turned away:
II only came to look for one of
my friends"
Madam" responded the wea-
ry salesman, IF you have the
slightest idea that your friend is
in either of the other two baskets
/ shall be pleased to take them
down. The Youths Compan-

Lessons are first of all given in the
elaborate etiquette of dueling. and
next comes instruction in the neces-
sary department.
Last and most important of all
comes the duel proper, with the
measuring out of the ground. the
loading of the powerful spring pis-
tolls with the soft clay balls, and the
aiming on the part of each combatant
at vital spot-usually the head. No
doubt the knowledge that the shoot
ing is innocuous tends to make the
duelists' aim very accurate, but
Z there can also be no question that 1t
ifamiliarizes man with the entire
routine of procedure which, with
out this initiation, would be extreme
'ly disconcerting to the bravest.
n Needless to say the majority of the
pupils by no means have real duels
upon their hands, but among a pas
sionate people like the French, quick
to anger and to avenge real or fan
cied insult, there is no lack of at
tendance at the various schools, of
which three or fourhave already been
opened in the French capital. The
largest of these is a handsome saloon
on the first floor of the Rue Castig-
1ione, and its seances are attended by
crowds of the gilded youth of Paris,
who are attracted thither by the nov

duels, which may become very real

THE NEW DUELLING SCHOOL IN
PARIS.

It seems that after all the absurd
so-called "duels" which we read
about as having taken place in
France, Germany and Italy, may
really in the near future turn out to
be very lethal affairs indeed. Hith-
erto, If an officer, lawyer, a journal
1st, or other insulted colleague, Sec
onds exchanged visits, meeting was
arranged and shots fred with quite
farcical results as general rule, for
ordinarily the average professional
man, even in military nation like
France, is deplorably bad shot, and
there was usually no more visible re-
suit after the so-called "duel" than
an amusing paragraph in the papers.
That the French mean business in
the near future, however, in this mat
ter, will be seen from the fact that
regular dueling schools have just
been established in Paris, as we'll as
in Rome and Berlin and Vienna-not
merely for swordsmanship alone, but
for regular practice with the long
barreled dueling pistol. The princi-
pals wear long padded overalls, and
curious masks, like those of the deep
sea diver, with very thick glass
plaque in front of the face.
The bullets used are pellets of
clay, which, however, might do very
serious damage to the pupils in these
remarkable academies were it not for
