cABMEN IN A USELESS DUEL
They Fought FlereeIy for Hand Of
Woman Already Engaged to
Wed a Plumber.

Two cab drivers, Jean Thibault
and Pierre Roux, who occupied the
same stand in the Boulevard des
Ratignolles, Paris. and had been on
excellent terms. quarreled on ma
king the discovery that they were in
lovo with the same washerwoman.
Neither of them had proposed to
Marie Hamard, the object of their
affections, and they decided to fight
the matter out to settle who had Il
better claim before either of them
approached the object of their af-
lection. A combat took place in a
quiet street. 1t was a duel on novel
lines. There were no seconds, and
the weapons used were whips, with
which the combatants mercilessly
dashed each other. They were ex-
hausted and bathed in blood when a
policeman arrived on the scene and
took them to the police station.
The next morning they were dis
missed with a caution, and happily
their enmity has been again turned
to friendship, for the washerwoman
on hearing of their story fastened to
their cab stand, where she expressed
her regret at having caused the trou-
bic and added that she had already
been engaged for some time to a
plumber.

The exercise of the muscles may be
SO prolonged that the decay Of their
particles will exceed the supply Of nu-

this case the muscles will grow small
