The Mystery of a Duel.

Having fought his duel and saved
his honor by firing shot In the air.
the editor of French provincial
newspaper went back to his desk. ana
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 discovered that bullet
was imbedded In the editors thigh
some two inches deep and required
extraction. why was this not taken
notice Of on the spot where the duel
took place." he asked. The editor
was as much In the dark as the doc
tor. At the moment of the duel he
had fired into the air. and his adver
sary also took distracted sort Of
aim. There had evidently been no in
tention 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 sign OF
reconciliation. How a bullet came to
be lodged in his thigh was simply one
of the mysteries of dueling. London

Camels That Ride.

The Bedouins decorate their baggage
camels In the most fantastic manner.
A huge pack saddle is surmounted by
a still larger pannier Above this
again is a sort of chair in which the
rider sits. The long strips of leather
hanging down the sides are simply
for decorative purposes. l have seen
camels when too young to go on long
tricks being carried in these panniers,
and they are always used for the Be
douin children.
This tribe has many quaint and curl
Gus customs. Perhaps the most curl
Gus of these Is the manner in which
they show their esteem for certain
strangers. One evening when young
camel had been killed for the meal l

blood in a bowl Then. to my aston
ishment, they started painting my
camels on the necks and TANKS with

An Irish Grand Prix.

There was once an Irish Grand Prix.
The horse that lowered the French
colors was the property of an eccen-
trio Irishman named Connolly and was
a big. bony roam, not much TO look at
in the way of horseflesh, so 1t was
great surprise to everybody but his
owner when he came In first. His
previous record at the English Derby
the preceding year had not been bril-
liant enough for anybody to lay any
large bets on him, with the sole excep-
ton Of Connolly himself. whose faith in
his entry was so great that he mort
gagged his lands and put every cent on
the horse. Up to the very end of the
race everybody looked on Connolly as a
ruined man. but when the roam shot
first under the wire he not only carried
the British colors to victory, but won
a great fortune for his master This
happened in the time Of Napoleon Ill.
and Connolly was so proud Of his tri-
umph that he insisted on walking
ahead Of the emperor and empress,
cheering and waving his hat.-New

Acting Comptroller c. b. White has
given out a statement In which he
gives the increase in wealth In Texas
during the last twelve months at more
than $70,OOO,OO0. More than 60 per
cent of this amount is due directly to
agricultural development. The comp.
troller makes the prediction that dur
ing the coming year the increase in
wealth will pass the hundred million
mark.
Not only is the subject of good roads
the most important which now con-
fronts the farmer, and one of the most
important now before the people of
Texas, but 1t is one In which the peo-
pie are most deeply interested.
The Houston Chamber Of Commerce
is carrying on an extensive advertis-
ing campaign and has recently placed
contracts with seven magazines for
classified advertising. The advertise
ments set forth the advantages of
Houston as a commercial center and
a seaport and are written to attract
industrial and commercial enterprise
of all kinds to that city.
No one will deny the Importance Of
cheap and quick transportation from
ocean to ocean, from port to port, and
from city Ocity. Is not cheap and
quick transportation just as essential
from the farm to the railway station
or to the river landing? Does not the
fact that transportation from the
farm to the station is thirty times
higher than from the station to the
point of ultimate distribution appeal
for remedy?

and moral guide that he had made up
his mind to vote for prohibition. Yes,

somewhat sheepish manner, said:

reasonable as many others that were
used by both sides in the campaign.
