Reminder of Times When Gentlemen
Met on "FieId of Honor"

The years which separate US Amer
leans from dueling are fewer than
most of us realize. The late Prof.
Shalers Autobiography, in the Allan
tic, has this amusing reminiScence:
The first occasion was when a
silly cousin of mine with too much
wine in him challenged well-known
duelist, James Jackson, who as gen.
eral fell at Perryville. Fortunately,
knew Jackson we'll as boy Of Is may
know man Of twice his years. /
made my plea to him to give my kins-
man an easy way out. At first he was
obdurate, saying that he would have
his life-he had, indeed, reason to be
vexed-but in the end he told his Sec
ond to fix 1t up with me. My good,
may say indeed affectionate, rela-
tons with Jackson had begun year
before in like absurd business in a
ballroom. Frankfort. l had acct
dentally stepped into a mess made on
the floor by the breaking of bottle Of
champagne, which he as manager was
trying to have cleaned up. With a
sharp word, he pushed me aside; my

THE ROAD TO POPULARITY
Recipe Has Been In Use Many Years
But II Is Not Always Safe to
Trust It..

"The way to be popular has been ex-
planned by one of the marshmallow
magazines which initiates itself with
the idea that it is directing modern
life. When you shake hands with
a man." runs the recipe, grasp the
hand as though you were glad to see
the owner, look him in the eye, and
give him smile from your heart"
This is a sure-enough recipe. 1t
has been worked by some of the great
est frauds in Christendom to subserve
their own ends. The man who is
seeking popularity, posing for it,
angling for it, usually doesn't deserve
1t. Keep your admiration for men
who show you their real selves, who,
when they are bothered or worried,
or mad, or glad, make it manifest by
appropriate facial expression, and
who are not constantly standing them,
selves before the mirror.

Ear.soundins Steamboat Whistle

What kind of sound travels furthest?
A discussion of that question the other
evening resulted in unanimous YER
dict finally being returned in favor of
the steamboat whistle, one instance
being given by man from western
Kentucky who had heard a steamboat
on the Ohio whistling for landing
when he was Is miles away from the
river
The deep, resonant tones of the
steamboat whistle seem to make the
air vibrate as nothing else can. In
that respect it is like many pipe or
gans in churches, the lower tones of
which make the churches throb from
floor to dome. The highest notes seem
to penetrate better for short distances.
while the lower ones carry better.

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer-
ing women / am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter" -MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
R.F D., Graniteville, Vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
1t costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay it is worth noun
tains of gold ," to suffering women.

NeWfound lands Bad Record.

The Newfoundland Society for the
Prevention of tuberculosis is carrying
on vigorous and necessary campaign
this year in the island. The death
rate from the disease in Newfoundland
is very large. About one in every
five of the total population dies of it,
and, what is worse, in the last six
years the death rate, which is sta
tionary or decreasing elsewhere, has
increased about so per cent This is
due largely to the native horror of
fresh air in the house.

The vote was by ballot. with the result stated 1t was somewhat of coincidence that the total vote at last nights meeting was almost exactly the same as at the bond election
 Last nights meeting was, of course only conclusive as to the sentiments of the electors at the meeting. and does not necessarily bind any subse- quent meeting. But Mir. Ely stated after the meeting adjourned that, so far as he was concerned. he was not in favor of proceeding further with the segregation proposition unless the district should clearly manifest it's de sire for it.

The electors of school district No. 1 (the city of PhoeniX). So far as they were heard at a public meeting last night. voted decisively against the se- gregation of colored children in the public schools A total of siXty-siX votes was cast, of which fourteen were for segregation and fifty-two against. Considerably more than half the voters were colored
 The meeting was held at the Cen tral school building at 7:3O. pursuant to call of the trustees Col James H. McClintock was elected chairman of the meeting. Sims Ely, a member of the board of trustees, explained the object of the meeting. He stated that the district some weeks ago had or dered bond issue of s125,0O0. for the purchase of five sites and three school buildings: that at q public meeting re- gently the electors selected four sites. and at the suggestion of the school board deferred the selection of site for school for colored children. in order that the board might advise the district more fully as to the site most suitable: that certain sites had been submitted to the board. one one of which vas considered by them as

BEST BRONCO BUSTERS WILL BE ON HAND
Will Be on Hand at Tournament for
 Benefit of Crittenton Home.

Spain has its bull fights. England. France and the United States their Marathon race. while Arizona has bronco busting par excellence. Dwell CTS in either parts of the western country claim some measure of skill in the art of subduing unruly members of the equine tribe, but the apogee of distinction in this respect is to be found within that section of the map bounded on the north by Utah, on the east by New Mexico. on the south by President Diazs wide dominion, and on the west by California and Nevada In other words. Arizona produces the best bronco busters to be found west
 of the Mississippi river. and it is not of authentic record that such have their habitat east of the rolling Father of Waters.
 Next Saturday afternoon. at the fair grounds. beginning promptly at 2:3O, number of the most notable bronco busters in the territory will foregather for the purpose of demonstrating their skill as riders of fractious brutes and to uphold before all the world Ari- zona's claim as the mother of bronco busters without peer.
 Joe Isbel. who long has been con sidered one of the cleverest riders in the west, will take part, as will his brother. Henry Isbel, a 16-year-old youth. who has won high honor in rough riding contests with older men. Jesse Crewes. the young fellow who rode in white chaps" at the tourna- erix- la ct ChrictpnaS at E.aC Cf Lake park. and who gained high favor with the crowd by his spectacular riding of the Milkshake horse. will again prove his ability to master the most vicious of equines. Bill Dugan, one of the most graceful and gritty horsemen of them all, will illustrate the fine points in the method of sub duing the widest. Elmer Richards, to whom all busters doff their chapeaus, will dig his spurs inta a canny cayuse, while an unknown. with the euphon- ious subriquet of Cheyenne" will "e-yah" his mount to the limits of vicious resistance,
 Bert Bryan? Certainly. A gentle man by the name of George BinlIley has offered to wager 100 hard iron dollars that Bryan will meet his match in the shape of an animal which an- swers to the name of Black Jack. This horse is big. strong and unspeakable vicious. and Bryan looks upon this def as d first class opportunity to prove his right to the title of Cham pion Bronco Buster of Arizona"

COOPER'S FOLLOWERS GIVE
 REASON FOR TYLER BELIEF

With a theory that human health is dependent on the stomach and with a medicine which he says proves this theory. L. T. Cooper. comparatively young man, has built up an immense following during the past year.
 Cooper has visited most of the lead ing cities of the country. and in each city has aroused a storm of discussion about his beliefs and his medicines Wherever he has gone. people have called upon him by tens of thousands and his preparation has sold in i'm mense quantities.
 The sale of this medicine has now spread over the entire country. and is growing enormously each day. In view of this. the following statements from two of the great number of followers which he now has, are of general in- terest.
 N V Marsh. residing at 211 South Daly street, Los Angeles. Cal. has the following to say upon the subject of the Cooper preparations:
 For more than a year I experienced the most intense suffering. due to a form of stomach trouble which the doctors called catarrhal gastritis. After eating I would fill up with gas. which caused frequent belching. The abdom- inal area would expand until l could scarcely breathe. causing great dis tress. At such times I could not keep still. but paced the streets for hours until the pain subsided.
 Frequently I went without eating ra ther than endure the torture that was sure to follow. Liquids were the only kind of food I could partake of with safety. I had spells of dizziness, and became badly run down through suffering and lack of proper nourish- ment I tried various remedies i'll search of relief, but they failed to help me. ',
 Some time ago brother member in 8 lodge to which I belong urged me to try the Cooper remedies. which were

, then being demonstrated in Los An geles He stated that to his personal knowledge they had been of great benefit to others in a like condition, and on the strength of this recOmmen- dation I procured a treatment of Coop CTS New Discovery.
 Tt proved helpful from the first dose. and in less than a week l was eating regularly and heartily. without experiencing any bad effects afterward- Since taking the full treatment I am perfectly we'll and enjoy living for the first time in many months Now [ can eat a heavy supper, then go to bed and sleep like healthy boy I feel so well that I can hardly realize am the same man. CoOper's New Discovery has worked a marvellous change in melt has done all that was claimed for it.
 Another statement by NIT. W. E. Stewart. 109 w. Madison street, Chi cago. is as follows: 'T have had stOm- ach trouble for years, and anyone who
 is afflicated this way knows what an awful distressed feeling it causes Many time I have felt that I would give most any price to be cured. It was by accident that l heard of this man Cooper's remedies. I immediately made up my mind to buy treatment of him. I used it for about two weeks, and it is impossible to tell how much good it has done me. I feel altogether different. I have more life and energy than have had for years. This medi- cine certainly does stimulate and strengthen the whole system Tired feeling and weak condition of the stomach has entirely passed away. [ feel well again
