The Mystery of a Duel.

Having fought his duel and saved
his honor by firing a shot in the air,
the editor of a French provincial
newspaper went back to his desk and
the incident had quite left his mind
when he felt something strange In
his thigh. He looked and found that
he was bleeding ~profusely.
A doctor was called, who discoV-
cred that a bullet was embedded In
the editors thigh some two inches
deep and required extraction. why
was this not taken notice of on the
spotN where the duel took placer
he asked. The editor was as much
in the dark as the doctor. At the mo-
ment of the duel he had fired into
the air and his adversary also took
2 distracted sort of aim. There had
evidently been no intention of doing
the slightest harm on either side
The editor felt nothing as he left
the field and had shaken hands with
his antagonist as a sign Of reconcilia-
ton. How a bullet came to be lodged
in his thigh was simply one OF the
mysteries of dueling.

the future and saw the approval OF
coming generations whose views
would not be obscured by the passions
and excitement of the moment. When
the news of his death reached Missouri
there was an entire change OF sentl-
ment and all classes united to DO
honor to his memory. They then real
lied that the mightiest man OF Mis-
souri, was dead, the man who lowered
above friends and foes. All the state
was in mourning and his funeral at
St. Louis was attended by more than
forty thousand people.
Saved Missouri to Union.
1t was the fight Benton made that
enabled others, when the war came,
to keep Missouri ia the Union. If Mis-.
souri, had seeded there probably
would have been a different story to
tell than that which came from Apo
mattoX.
So Benton won life's battle by sim
pie honesty, by perseverance, by hav.
ing ideals and remaining true to them
in sunshine and in shadow. His intlu-
ence will be felt for good as long as
this republic lasts, and the failure to
secure political p%referment at the end
of his life by giving up the fight &C.
centuates the grandeur of his charac.
ter. He lost for the moment, but IN
losing he gained for all time. For him
there was victory in defeat. The les
son of his life is-it is not essential
always to win, but it is essential to
keep the faith.

Chatting Dish Dishes.

Chatting Dish Dishes.
AS the bracing and cool days Of au-
tumn come upon us, the chaflng dish
which has been having its vacation
time, Is welcomed with a real delight.
There are so many appetizing dishes
which are only prepared and served
in perfection from the chatting dish.
One Of the most charming things
about a chatting dish is the seeing a
dish made before the eyes. For a be-
ginner 1t is best to start with some
thing simple, like fried bacon or liver
and bacon. Rub the blazer with
onion and put in the bacon. When
crisp, lay in thin slices Of liver which
have been rolled in -four. Serve each
piece Of liver with a slice of bacon.
Curried Salmon.-Chop one small
onion and brown in the blazer IN a
tablespoonful of olive oil, mix togeth'
er a tablespoonful Of -four and a tea
spoonful of curry powder, add to the
onion, stir and cook until bubbling,
then add three-fourths Of a cup OF
hot water, a teaspoonful of salt, the
juice of half a lemon and the salmon.
Sardines on toast are another sim
pie and tasty dish. Heat the sardines
and put on pieces Of toast cut the size
and shape Of a lady finger. Serve
with chopped onion put on lettuce
leaves arranged around a platter.
A Savory Rechauffe.-Stir together
a tablespoonful Of jelly, apple, cur
rant or grape and two tablespoonful
Of butter in the blazer until melted
Lay in slices Of rare roast beef or
cold mutton or lamb; season with salt
and pepper, turn often and serve.
Dreamed Lobster.-Chop the flesh
Of a medium-sized lobster. Beat the
yolks of two eggs and mix with two
tablespoonfuls Of cream. Season with
salt, onion juice, pepper and nutmeg,
Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in
the chatting dish. When hot add the
lobster meat; when hot add the sea
sonings. Serve on buttered toast.
Curried Eggs.-Take six hard-boiled
eggs,. slice crosswise into four thick
slices. Brown a small onion In a
tablespoonful Of butter, add a table
spoonful Of flour, a teaspoonful OF
curry powder, half a t%easpoonful of
salt and a cupful Of stock; cook until
smooth, then add two tablespoonful
Of cream and the sliced Gigs.

busting.

Dust, like the poor, Is always with
US, and the process of busting con,
sumes a large part of the time Of the
house wife. Many thrifty workers
carry a small dust cloth in the pocket,
then when going upstairs dust the
treads and banisters; on coming down
dust the railing.
Now that we are beginning to re-
alize that dust contains living germs,
many of them disease germs, which
are only waiting for favorable condi.
ticas to develop, we should use more
care In the removal OF dust. Brushing
with a feather duster only stirs up the
dust, to be taken into the lungs
through the air we breathe.
An amusing story Is told by Max
O'Rell: When visiting in this coun,
try. his hostess and he came into a
room where a maid was welding q
duster with more vigor than judg,
ment, and replied, when asked what
she was doing: why, I'm busting"
Her mistress requested her to please
undust."
Much using Of the broom Is often
unnecessary, to pick up loose threads
and brush up footmarks takes less
time than ordinary sweeping, which
leaves the busting still to be done.
busting Is an art. For plain surfaces
a soft, absorbent cloth, slightly damp
is the best, using a brush and pointed
stick to reach corners and cracks.
The cloth should be shaken and
we'll washed after using. The manu-
featured dust cloth which contains an
oil and holds the dust IS quite a pop
ular one at present.
POSSIBLY we shall some day again
build our houses or dwelling places
so simple and elemental in character
that they will fit into the hooks Of the
fills or along the banks of streams or
by the edges of the woods without
disturbing the harmony Of the land.

and a resolution was passed demand
ing that slavery be permitted to exist
in territory north Of the Missouri COM
promise boundary and ~instructing the
senators to vote accordingly. Benton
denounced this resolution as treason
able and refused to obey it. He said
it did not represent the sentiment OF
the people of the state and he appealed
from the Missouri legislature to the
Missouri people. The struggle vas bit
ter and intense. AS Benton was up
for reelection, it being the close OF
his fifth term as senator, the effort
was to control the legislature which
was to elect the senator for the fol-
lowing term. Neither side obtained a
majority of the members ard a dead
lock resulted to be broken by the anti
Benton Democrats combining with the
Wings and bringing about Benton's
defeat.
The old warrior was not dismayed
and kept up the fight. In 1852 he was
sent to the lower house Of congress
from St. Louis as a Union Democrat.
For thirty years he had been absolute
dictator in the politics of Missouri.
His word was final, and his wishes
law, but the tide had turned, and for
the remaining years Of his life set
steadily against him. Yet at no time
in his career does Benton present a
more inspiring figure than when, with
his back to the wall, crowded on every
side by foes, he continued to battle for
the principles he believed in. BY COM
promising and by trucking to the pub
lie sentiment of his state he could
have regained his seat in the senate,
but he would have lost the love and
admiration due the brave man who
prefers defeat with the right to VIC
tory with what he considers wrong.
Benton's mannerisms were marked
and did not tend to make him popular
with the masses. He seemed egotis-
teal to the point of absurdity, yet In
him it was merely exaggerated self
respect. To the casual observer stern
and pompous, he was gentle and ten
der.bearted to those who knew him
we'll. His public and private life were
above r~eproach. His high sense OF
honor as a public servant, his incor-
ruptible integrity, his u~nwavering adj
herence at whatever cost to the prin-
ciples he believed in, his powerful in
tellect and his aggressive energy COM
bined TO make him a fighter eminently
qualified to lead and represent the
militant people of the West in the first
half of the last century.
He was defeated for reelection to
the house in 1854, and in 1886 became
the candidate Of the Union Democrats
for governor, and ran third in the
race. He was now II years old. but as
vigorous and robust as ever. Without
lamenting his fate or the peoples in
gratitude, he cheerfully took up the
completion OF his Thirty Years
View" giving a menta! picture OF the
imDortant events in the history of our
country with which he lad been con-
nected. In 1858 he died i'll Washing

for a protective duty on lead, which
was largely produced in Missouri. In
this he made the mistake that has
been made by so many senators ana
congressman of this day, WHO say they
oppose protection, but vote for pro-
lection on the products OF their own
states, thereby placing themselves in
the position Of not being able to sue
cessfully question the justice OF the
demand Of those in other states for a
larger share of protection for them
selves.
After the election of Andrew Jack.
son to the chief magistracy Benton BE-
came the right arm Of that great presi-
dent. In the ATTEMPTED notification
Of the tariff laws by South Carolina,
Benton made effective Jackson's ulti-
matum to that state demanding sub.
mission to the law, by engineering the
passage of a compromise tariff bill
which stopped everybody from talking
Of fighting, but satisfied nobody.
Fought United States Bank.
Jackson's greatest battle was
against the United States bank, which
he declared must either be put out Of
business or 1t would run the govern
ment. Benton led this fight in the
senate. He brought up the question
in 1881 by submitting a resolution to
the effect that it was not expedient to

had many powerful adherents and OBJ
tanned the support Of a number Of
members of congress, as was shown
later by Investigation, through what
amounted to brazen bribery in the
way of favoritism on loans. In the
midst of the fight the presidential cleo
ton of 1892 took place and Jackson
was triumphantly reelected. Shortly
after this Jackson made an order with
drawing the public funds from the
bank. This precipitated a tremendous
public uproar and the senate adopted
a resolution consuming Jackson for
the act. Benton Immediately began a
fight to expunge this resolution from
the record, and finally, in the last days
of the Jackson administration, the mo-
ton prevailed amidst great excitement
and the resolution of censure was ex-
plunged by having a black border
drawn around 1t and across it's face
the words: "Expunged by order Of the
senate, January 16, 1887" Jackson
I deeply appreciated the value of Ben
tons support and years later, on his
deathbed, said to a friend: Tell Col.
Benton | am grateful"
Benton was the supporter of Jack
sons successors to the presidency,
particularly of Van Buren, and Polk,
but after Andrew Jackson, the presi-
dents up to the Civil war welded lit
tie influence compared with those be-
fore, and were largely engaged in a
! game of hide-and-seek on the slavery
question.

contrast is especially noticeable as
regards towns and their inhabitants.

THE GREAT IDAHO FIRE
Mrs. Jay N. Armstrong
Writes of the Recent
Calamity.

Mrs. Jay \. Armstrong, a former
resident OF Excelsior now living in
Idaho, in writing to friend in regard
to the great fires SAID although they
were several miles from it when the
wind changed and sent the smoke in
their direction it was like heavy fog
and became so dense at times they
could not see the barn. 1t was diff
cult to breathe and their eyes and
throats became sore. At last rain
fell which extinguished the fire except
in old trees and stumps which were
still burning but the atmosphere was
cleared and the air once more delight
ful to breathe. When the Indians
were more in control in that country
these great fires were unknown
as they would burn the forests over
every two years which prevented such
an accumulation of dead grass, brush
and pine needles that go to feed these
fires, making it so hot that it is with
great difficulty the men can work at
putting them out.
