Not long ago man and wom-
an were driving in the same direc-
ton. She was jogging along after
the old white mare. He was buzz
ing along in an automobile.
Since she was running on low
speed he naturally wanted to pass
her, and she. well disposed, drew
to her side of the road to let him
go by.
Sometimes the whir of machinery
confuses a woman and she loses
her head. This one did. and, more
intent upon what the autoist was
doing than she was upon her own
driving, she began pulling on her
horse, stood up in her carriage and
shrieked frantically stop that
machine: stop it, | say"
The man put on the brakes, but
not until, in her frenzy. the woman
had backed into the auto, been
thrown out fher carriage and
generally upset. Yet. man-like, he
had time to yell out at the woman,
Go ahead; go ahead, tell you."
All this reminds one of matri-
monial collisions. which so often
occur because either husband or
wife refuses to keep on his side
of the road or because each thinks
he ought 10 order the running of

"The invariable politeness one
notices on the continent" says
Walter Winans, els the result Of
dueling being allowed. A man
thinks twice about being rude to a
woman, or even to another man, il
he knows he may have to face a
sword or a pistol in consequence. ;"
Winans is a wealthy Englishman
whose two fads are driving trotting
horses and shooting. With both
rifle and revolver he is an expert.
At the recent Olympic games. he
won the worlds championship for
double shots at the running deer. a
grilling test of accurate marksman-
ship.
So great hobby with Winans is
the code duello that he is lead
ing advocate of the new pastime Of
practice-dueling, with wax bullets
in place of lead ones. He, admits
that it Is a trifie dangerous, but
believes that where the contestants
use every possible precaution they
may shoot at each other with no
greater peril than flesh wounds.
But" says this rather blood
thirsty old gentleman, "the iron
mans target. shot at with real
dueling pistol and charge, is the
only real way to learn to hit your
man instantly and accurately"
OF the wax-dueling game Winans
had the following to say to Lon
don interviewer, a few days since:

THIRTY CENT SHEER FINE
THING FOR BRYAN FIGHT

An illustration of how small
incident can sometimes become of
national Importance is seen in the
case of the New York Tribune.
which recently headed an editorial
on the financial distress of the
democratic national campaign with
the caption:
won't somebody give 80 cents
to Bryan"
The Indianapolis News, an indie
pendent newspaper with a big fol-
lowing in the Hoosier state, re-
piled to the Tribune's article in a
scathing editorial headed
"The sheer of wealth"
The News reply was widely
copied and man in Hartford City,
Ind, at once started a $50 cent
club" for the purpose of raising
funds for the democratic campaign.

injury. In the competition named

blows, one causing slight flesh

spectators might lose their eyes by

Every member agreed to pay 30
cents per month into the fund,
which is to be sent to the demo-
cratic national committee. Now
these clubs have been organized all
over the Hoosier state and have
sprung up in other states wherever
the incident behind the organiza-
ton of the clubs has become
known. The latest addition to the
movement comes from Texas, from
which point man writes to the
originator of the idea at Hartford
City, Ind, inquiring about the plan
of organization of the clubs.

of the Tribune, for which 1t has
since tried to make amends, Is to
