THE CODE OF HONOR.
DueIlnS as h Was In France In the
 Time Of Richelieu.

DueIiHS aS It Was In France In the
 Time Of Richelieu.
 The passion for dueling, which had cost France, it was said, between 1000 and 5000 lives during the twenty years of Henry TVS reign, was at it's height when his son came to the throne. The council of Trent in 1J4J had soImenly condemned the practice of single combat, impartially including principals, seconds and spectators in its penalty of eXcommunication. In 1902 an edict of Henry pronounced the ''damnable custom of dueling introduc- ed by the corruption of the century" to be the cause of so many piteous ac- cidentS. to the extreme regret and dis pleasure of the king and to the irrep- arable damage of the state that we should count ourselves unworthy to hold the scepter if we delayed to re- press the enormity of this crime
 X whole series of edicts followed to the same effect, but it was easier to make edicts than to enforce them. Degradation. Imprisonment, contisca- tion of property, loss of civil rights and death were the penalties attached to the infringement of the laws against dueling, and still the practice prevail ed. In 1926 Richelieu published milder form of prohibition. The first offense was no longer capital, a third only of the offenders property was to be contiscated, and the judges were permitted to recognize extenuating circumstances
 A few months later the Comte de Bouteville thought fit to test the min ister's patience in this direction. The Place Royale had long been a favorite dueling ground, and De Bouteville travelled from Brussels to fight his tWenty-second duel here, in the heart of Paris, in deliberate defiance of the kings authority. The result was not encouraging. Montmorency though he was, the count went with his second to the scaffold, and the marked de- crease from that time in the number of duels may be attributed either to the moderation used in framing the law or to the memorable resolution with which it was enforced.-Macmil-I lan's Magazine.

LeddviIIe Played the Baby Act

The baseball game played Saturday
wood high school teams ended in a
rather unsatisfactory manner, but the
GlenwOod boys feel that they have
done the square thing and have no
qualms of conscience whatever on the
matter.
At the beginning of the tenth in
ming the score stood to LeadviIle
was at the bat and had man on third
base with two out The man at the
bat had two strikes called on him but
hit fly that went over the foul line
at least Is feet. The umpire run
ming out to look, mistook the foul
line and called the ball fair at first,
but when his attention was called to
what was really the foul line, de-
clared the ball foul. In the mean
time the man on third went home,
but the umpire placed him back on
third.
The next ball pitched to the bat
was called third strike and the man
called out. leaving the score to
with Glenwood half inning at hat
due AT this juncture the Leadvilles
walked off the field and refused to
finish the game. Inasmuch as they
accepted the decision of the umpire at
the time, it looks very much as though
the Cloud City boys realizing that
they were sure to lose if the game
went on. played the "baby act by
refusing to finish their contract.
Glenwood had already given up in tho
eighth inning when, according to the
rules Of the game, she could have
saved the man on third from being
out. but in order to show they meant
to be fair at all costs, they gave up
when not compelled to DO so. Ac-
ceTding to all rules of the game the
score stood to 0 in favor of the home
team. as Leadville forfeited the game.
