A SURPRISED swoRpsMAN.
Judge ooffs's Play With . Dragging
Fencing Master.


A fencing master appeared in Boston
one winter in the seventeenth century
and had erected stage on which he
strutted up and down at certain hours,
defying any and all to engage In sword
play with him.
After this had gone on for several
days and the mans boasts had be-
come insufferable Judge William COTE
and Edward Whalley. the famous Eng.
fish political refugees, disguised them
selves in rustic costume and appeared
before the alleged master. COTE held
In one hand cheese wrapped In a
napkin, which he used for shield.
and carried a mop which he had soak
ed In muddy water as he passed a pud-
die. y
Thus equipped. the judge mounted
the stage. The fencer rallied at him
for his impuderce, asked him what
business he had there and ordered him
to begone. The judge stood his ground.
Then the gladiator made a pass at him
with his sword to drive him OF. The
Judge received the sword in his cheese
and held 1t there till he had drawn
the mop over the professors face and
smeared him with mud. Another
plunge by the enraged maitre d'armes
resulted similarly, this time the judge
poking the mop into his eyes. This
operation was repeated a third time.
Then the maddened fencing master
dropped his ordinary sword and grab
bed up huge broadsword. Thereupon
the judge said:
"Stop. sir! Hitherto, you see. l have
only played with you and not attempt
ed to do you harm, but II you come at
me now with the broadsword know
that l will certainly take your life!
The master was impressed by the
firmness with which the judge spoke.
for he dropped the point of his weapon
and exclaimed: "Who can you be? You
must be either COTE. Whalley or the
devil, for there was no other man in
England that could beat me"-Boston

Tn. Other Great Man.

DR.. Russell Cool of California hap
pened to suppress an epidemic Of
measles while on a vacation trip to
Tahiti. and Chief Oreaori gratefully
invited him to banquet In his print
tive palace. The south sea potentate
and his white guest sat amiably on
the floor and dined on roast pig and
other native delicacies served on broad
leaves and eaten with the fingers.
After dinner host and guest adjourned
to seats outside the palace, lit long. fat
black cigars and gazed out over the
moonlit Pacific. In the eyes of Chief
Oreaori, Robert Louis Stevenson, who
did so much to improve the condition
of the south sea islanders. was the
greatest white man that ever lived.
The chief related to DIR. Cool many
incidents to illustrate Stevenson's
kindness, then asked a score of ques-
lions about the health of Stevenson's
widow and of his stepchildren. When
the last question had been answered
there followed long period Of silence.
The two friends pulled slowly at their
cigars and luxuriously regarded. the
radiant tropic moonlight glowing upon
rustling palm fronds and the silvery
ocean. Then Oreaori turned to the
doctor and demanded. Now tell me

Thought He Had Died.

A prominent member of German
American society told n story about a
German friend of his who was taken
Ill. For many days the German was
close to death, but after time he
showed improvement in condition. The
doctor told the Germans wife that her
husband might have anything to eat
that he liked.
The German expressed desire for
limburger cheese. and the wife, being
a generous woman and pleased at the
Improvement and in order that her
husband might have nibble at any
time lie had n taste for it, put some
cheese in every room in the house. II
is easy to imagine the aroma.
The next morning the doctor called
at the house. and as soon as he opened
the door he asked:
"When did he diei"-Hartford Post.

D0ctOring Fowls.

There is too much doctoring OF
fowls going on, especially of healthy
ones. Occasionally a fowl will gel
sick, and, If 1t is a valuable one, ii
is all right to try and cure it, but
this everlasting custom of giving them
all manner of nostrums TO keep them
in good health is all nonsense. Feed
them regularly with variety of food.
See that they get plenty of exer-
else and have plenty of gravel OF
grit TO grind their feed. Give them
plenty of pure water TO drink and
see that their houses and yards are
kept perfectly clean, and there is no
danger of disease attacking them.

essential to their good health. Fol-

FREEZING Flesh.

1t Is a curious fact that, although
dwellers In northern climes must have
known for ages that a low temperature
preserves flesh from putrefaction, ii
never seems to have struck any one
that this natural fact could be turned
to artificial advantage until Lord Bacon
stuffed the historic chicken with snow
and thereby caught chill which killed
him. 1t is perhaps even more curious
that an experiment resulting in the
death of one of the most eminent men
in the world should not have called any
attention to an already well known
principle which might have been read

matter of fact. ii was not until the year
