DueIinq.


 It is generally agreed that dueling took its rise from the judicial combats of the Celtic nations. The first formal duel in England was that between Will liam Count of Flu and Godfrey Bay hard about the year 1096. Dueling was at its height in France about 1900, though it was pretty popular as late as 152S, in which year Francis I. sent a challenge to Charles V. In England dueling was checked in the army in 1792 and gradually disappear ed from civil life with the coming of a more enlightened public opinion. Duel ing was never as popular in this coun- try as 1t was In Europe, but never theless many famous duels have been fought here. The code may be said to have received its death sentence when Burr killed Hamilton. The de- cline after that was steady until it practically died out.-New York Amer ican.

The Three Pics.

There were three pigs in poke.
 The overcrowding was E % ldl.,us.
 Each accounted for the evil iH a diff ferent manner.
 The first pig said. ''The overcr"N ding is terrible;. it is because we arc in d poke.'
 The second pig said, This over crowding is disastrous; it is because we are pigs"
 The third pig spoke as follows: "The overcrowding is undoubtedly appalling, but you are both mistaken as to the conditions that have caused It. It is not due to our being in a poke; neither IS it due to our being pigs. The evil is the direct and inevitable outcome of certain spasmodic variations in the law of economic utility"
 The other two pigs were much i'm pressed and without more ado elected the third pig leader among them. Still the overcrowding remained as bad as ever.-Life.

ChaYiues In Word Meanincs.

Many common words have once had meaning very different from the one we now give them. Silly" once meant blessed. Thou silly babe" the poet writes. Fond" meant foolish. A fond father" was a foolish father. Milton writes.
 Doth God exact day labor. light denied ? l fondly ask,
 meaning "I foolishly ask" A pas senger" was one who was passing along the highways-a foot traveller. Now it means one carried by public conveyance. A journey meant days travel.
 You'd think twas a journey to Twickenham town" Now a journey may mean a trip across continents or around the world.
 Rather" is the comparative form of m old word, "rathe," meaning early, "The rathe primrose"
 Now we have made it mean some what and we have lost the first mean ing entirely when we say. You are rather late"- "-McCal's Magazine.

SeidI's Silent Tonoua

One of the most striking anecdotes told in Hermann Klein's Thirty Years of Musical Life In London" re- lates to Anton Seidl's first interview with Wagner in the library at Wahn- fried. Seidl found the room dark. and, imagining nobody was there, he pulled out his letter of introduction and began silently rehearsing the speech he had prepared. Suddenly from out of the gloomy corner Wag- her appeared, and Seidl was so nerv- Ous that he could not bring out sen tence of his speech. This proved to be his salvation, for Wagner, declar- ing If you can work as well as you can hold your tongue you will dO," engaged him on the spot.

A Turkish Serpent Superstition.

The people of all serpent ridden countries have many charms, spells and incantations which they repeat or perform for the purpose of exorcis- ing such obnoxious visitors In Fur key everybody, from the sultan to the gamtn, appeals to the serpent king, Chah Miran. When they come in con- tact with a serpent the first excIama- tion is, 'In the name of Chah Miran, go away and hide thyself." Of course Chah Miran has been dead for centu- ries, but the Turk argues that the ser pents do not know anything about this. If they knew that they were no longer under his influence they would destroy the whole human race.-Lon- don Mail

ness admitted unblushingly 1t perhaps
was be who had conceived the idea of
consolidating the sugar manufacturers
In this country into one big corpora
ton. He not only admitted 1t, but
seemed proud that he was the father
Of the combination.
Parsons also declared himself in IA
yor Of trusts generally and against
federal control Of corporations. He
said the United States supreme court
had been forced to read into the Sher-
man antitrust law something that was
not there to avert a panic.

federal control OF trade ana telling the
congressman that II the government

would drive the business Of the coun-
try to ruin. He quoted any number Of
economists, he drew out supreme court
decisions and at times an apparently
innocent question was enough to bring
from him a great many lines in the
stenographer's notes on letting the
natural laws of trade take their course
without interference. Throughout his
testimony his son, ex-Congressman
Herbert Parsons, was at his elbow.
Once when the elder Parsons quoted
John Stuart Mil one Of the committee
men left the room.
LET things take their natural
course" Mr.. Parsons said.

horse is gone" said Congressman
Kinds.
But you couldn't expect corpora

unless there was the inducement Of
making money, and If you did not
have the people to carry on the indus
tries where would the country's trade

"The one thing that has paralyzed
business of the country has been this
interference. All around US are people
who complain, and these people are
voters"
Mr.. Parsons admitted quite cheerful
ly his views on the subject of absorp-
ton. He quoted a friend of his who
said Of Claus Spreckels IN the old days:
"spreckels is a hard nut. Leave him
alone" Blu a moment later when the
witness was asked how Spreckels came
to be absorbed he said, "He belonged
on the Pacific and he came to Philadel

American Protects His
Countrymen In Haiti.

Cape Haitien, Haiti, July 21.-An-
archy reigns in this northern city Of
the "biack republic" and IL 1t were
not for the presence Of the steam
yacht American, which Is owned by
Evans r. Dick OF New York, Ameri-
cans and other foreign residents Of the
place would have to take their chances
of injury at the hands of the revolu-
tionists,
The American On arrival here found
the United States gunboat Petrol had
left some hours before it became
known that there was danger of the
city falling into the hands Of the revo-
~lutionists. The American kept her
searchlight playing on a house where
a number Of Americans who have been
building a railroad here placed their
wives for safety.
As many American women as could
be found were taken aboard the yacht,
and her owner announced that he
would use the rapid fire guns on the
craft In defense Of the refugees If 1t
became necessary pending the arrival
Of an American warshfp.
Mr.. Dick cabled to the Washington
authorities asking to be released from
a bond he had given before leaving
New York that he would not use the
weapons with which the American
was equipped In Haitian waters, and
when he received a reply saying that
such permission or release could not
be granted he decided to run the risk
Of getting into difficulty with his own
government and SEN word to the
| American colony that he would go the
limit In protecting their lives and
property.
The situation is very grave.

Washington, July 21.DThe breach
bstween the president and Secretary
Wilson over the effort to GUST DR..
Harvey W. Wiley as chief OF the bu-
reau OF chemistry has widened, &C
ccrding to a friend Of MI. Taft. 1t
was emphasized by tho refusal of the
president to take up the case OF DR..
Wiley with his secretary Of agriculture
until the latter had made a recon-
mendation in the case.
Secretary Wilson was at the White
House just two minutes. The presi-
dent was engaged with Senator John
son when the secretary walked In.
Wilson spoke to the president and then
hurried out.
Former Representative Hepburn, who
is attorney for DR.. Wiley, is said to be
responsible for the change in the case
to GUST his client. His task while adj
yisory also has developed into that OF
organizer Of public opinion, due to his
familiarity Of the department OF agri-
culture and It's methods. Following
his advice, DR.. Wiley has maintained
a discreet silence, and now his chief
secretary, Wilson. stands a chance to
carry the burden of the criticism.
