Eouoht tor othsr E.llow,. olrl.

A remarkable duel has been fought
to no purpose by two brothers at Vim
kovitse, Austria. Holek and Albert
Baksho, who lived together on good
terms, recently discovered that they
were both in love with the same girl.
Neither had proposed to her, but
when they discovered they were rivals
they agreed that the sword should
decide their difference. The combat
took place, and Albert. the younger,
was wounded by his brother. The
matter was settled; Holek was free
to make his proposal. Meanwhile the
all.unconscious Fraulein Schneider
had engaged her affections elsewhere,
and when Holek went to press his
suit, the lady introduced him to her
fiance. The unfortunate man was SO
overcome with grief and vexation that
he went home and shot himself. His
brother is recovering from his in
juries.

LEFT P0RTnDiT OF FRIEND.

Redeemed Promise Made Many
Years Ago.

William J. Comley, the aged por.

in New York a short time ago. dis.

ing few days before his death. When
Heinrich Conried first came TO this
country looking for place in a thea.
ter he knew little English, He locked
himself In his room in Thirteenth
street and set to work in an effort to
master an English part with the aid Of
a dictionary. At last he obtained a
place in an English speaking com.
pany. When he opened the part
which the manager had given him.
the first sentence he found was:
switch me on at Mississippi" In
the dictionary the German student OF
dramatic English found that switch"
was a combination OF false hair worn
by a woman. This wouldn't do. so he
consulted William j. Comley, whose
room was near his. The two became
close friends. After Mr.. Conried had
attained success and wealth he was
able to be a financial help to his
friend, the artist. who had been less
fortunate. Comley promised Mr.. Con.
ried years ago that he would paint his
portrait. Within a few days of the
artists death Mrs. Conried received
from him the promised picture.

Prof. Edward l.. Youmans was a

the editor what he had written.
Yet the work was not complete. Mr..
Warner read the first proof and In
succession three revised sheets.
Each time he made change after
change in phraseology, seeking out the
one right word, while even in the
nicely of paragraphing he seemed to
make clearer what he desired TO ex-
press. Nor did the close revision
end with the marking Of the last
proof.

That great statesman, upon whose
word so many tremendous issues

OF august prime minister and became
for the time a romping schoolboy.

full height of unapproachable dignity.

On a country estate not far from
one of our large cities family Of six
children is being reared in a most
novel way. It is the theory of the
parents that 1t is for the best in
tcrest of the children to bring them
up in pairs, and accordingly there arc
three governesses under whom. two
together, they study ard lpiay apart
from the other children. whom they
meet only once a week, on Saturday
afternoon, when they have a gen.
eral playtime. The children are all
girls, who, not knowing any other
form of bringing up, do not think
their own strange, One of the theories
of the parents is that by this method
the girls will develop greater In.
dividuality and deeper interest in one
another than under the ordinary con.
ditions OF large family.

The Hen and the Mule.

1t has long been claimed that the
mule is the most obstinate and con-
trary of all creatures with which man
has to deal, but now the New York
Tribune comes to the front with the
assertion that the hen can give the
mule two in the game and beat 1t in
contrariness 1t brands the hen as "a
stubborn fowl, who keeps her eyes
on the market reports and resolutely
refuses to lay more than one egg a
week when the price is high, doing
her best work when the price is under
20 cents a dozen" We believe the
Tribune does the hen great injustice
In this matter. We believe her to be
a better friend to the consumer Of
eggs than to act in any such bad
manner. On the contrary, we believe
that in varying her productiveness
she tries to aid instead of injure man
kind. II she goes ON strike or cur

vent the cold storage man from get
