Gladstone and the heekler.

Mr.. Gladstone was altogether in
tolerant OF the heckler. During his
last Midlothian campaign he was
questioned by Sir then Mr) John
Usher Of Norton. who had once
been C'ladstone's chairman of com
mlltee, on the subject of the Irish
proposals, which sundered so MANY
political friendships. To one or
two inquiries a curt reply was
given. Am | to understand
Mr.. Usher was beginning. "Tnder-
stand" The old statesman leaped
TO his feet Il am responsible for
the understanding that the AZ
mighty has put ill this skull Of
mine,' tapping his forehead. Il
am not responsible" pointing his
finger at the questioner, sfor the
understanding that lie has put in
that skull of yours. The effect of
this rebuAe was overwhelming. Mr.
Usher sank speechless into his scat.

BOTH SHOT DEAD.
She Famous Fight Between choetaw
Caenenter and Price

The methods of lighting duels
among the Indians" said an old
ironticrsman, were varied, each
tribe having its own peculiar Gus
tom. Some of the tribes learned to
fight according to the code OF the
white man, however, among these
the Choctaws or Cherokccs, which
reminds me OF the famous duel in
July Of 1883, when the celebrated
Choctaw chief Carpenter fought
near the Pine Greek Indian agency
with white man named Price.
Chief Carpenter was splendid type
of Indian, tall and straight and
comcly, and he had been we'll edu-
Gated and had natural talents and
instincts that put him head and
shoulders over his Indian associates.
AS usual, this trouble was start
ed by disagreement over some
trivial matter, which caused a dis
pute and ended in the white man
calling his red brother liar.
Throughout the trouble the big In
dian had remained perfectly calm,
although considerably angered, and
aa the insult fell he gazed coldlv
into the eyes Of Price and said:

must be here and without fail
"The report of the duel spread
far aud wide, and at an hour con.
siaerably before sunrise large
crowd had gathered ON the dueling
ground to witness the encounter.
Price was the first ON the field, and
for a time it looked as il there
would be no Carpenter. But, true
to his Indian blood, The chief dis
dained coming too soon to the ap-
pointed place as much as he would
have feared coming too late, and it
was just as the first rays Of The sun
stole over the soft green of the tree
that the rcd man stood in place.
Not a word was spoken BY either
man. Both drew their pistols and,
raising the weapons, they fired al
most simultaneously Carpenter
recled, but with mighty effort
checked d tendency TO spin round.
and, staggering, fired as the crack Of
his opponents pistol sounded for
the second time. This time Price

THE ROUND ROBIN.
No Ono Seems to Know the Origin Of
the Strange Term.

A "Tound robin Is Ole OF those
documents Of which the name is IA
miliar to most people, but which
uncommonly few have ever seen or
signed. Every one knows that the
thing which bears so singular a
name is d communication-letter,
femonstrance, warning or the like
the signatures to which are writ
ten around the circumference Of the
circle which incloses the body of
the epistle o. radiating therefrom
like The spokes .; wheel from a
hub, 50 that the responsibility Of
signing is equally shared. No one
signatory can be accused Of being
either the first OF the last to sign,
Of being the leader or the whipper
in.
The most famous example on rec
ord probably is the 7emonstrance
which was sent to DR.. johnson in
connection with his epitaph on OF
Yer Goldsmith. The doctor had
prepared an epitaph in Latin, but
some Of his friends, who had also
been friends Of Goldsmith, took m-
ception to it Oh two grounds, the
first being that it did not quite do
justice to the author Of the "Trav-
elcr" as q writer, and particularly
as poet, and the second that It
should be written in English. The
party Of friends were gathered
around Sir Joshua REYNOLDS hos
pitable if somewhat III served table,
and though they found themselves
IN general agreement on these two
points no one had the courage to
be willing TO "bell the cat,r Or. in
other words, to take the lead in
tackling the formidable johnson on
these two rather delicate matters.
"At last" says Sir William Forbes,
it was hinted that there could be
no way 50 good as that Of a round
robin, as the sailors call it, which
they make use Of when they enter
a conspiracy SO as not to let it be
known who puts bis name first or
last to the paper"
The idea was at once accepted.
the address to Or. johnson was pre-
pared, and all signed itin the form
proposed. This very interesting pa
per is still eStant and is preserved
among other valuable manuscripts

Feed Of all kinds is very scarce al
this time, and Bradkockites are
teaching their chickens TO grow fa'
on a gravel diet.
More stock is annually shipped
from Braddock than from any other
point on the Hankinson Bismarck
branch Of the 500 It's said.
| The News sent number Of ac-
counts out to friends Of sister cities
several weeks ago. and judging by
the returns many of the friend;
are dead.
Robert Ferguson and wife arrived
from Ashland, Ohio last week anG
are guests Of the formers cousin,
VIM. Baxter. and family. living
south Of town.
All will be we'll pleased to learn
that Mrs. Emma Cotton, who moved
to Mason City, Iowa, in the spring
of 1910, has decided to return. She
has given notice that she will oc-
cupy her cottage in south Braddock
after the fifteenth of the month.
A couple of school boards of the
south part of the county deserve
leather medals for their business
sagacity. Recently they engaged
two school ma ans to teach fall
terms. and at the eleventh hour no.
titled them that their services were
not required.
Henry Reamann. one of our sue.
cessful farmers and stockmen
hauled out a new corn-binder Sat
urday. Henry has forty acres Of as
good corn as is growing out Of
doors, and his small grain is as good
as the average. Besides this, his
annual out-put Of stock makes all
years look good to him. Diversified
farming pays every time.
Leo Weber received a telephone
message Sunday stating that the
wife of his brother, John P. Weber,
had died at Ashley Saturday night
of typhoid fever. Mr.. and Mrs.
Weber went to Ashley by Monday s
noon train. Later. Mr.. Weber re.
turned Tuesday. accompanied by his
bereaved brother, who is also down
with typhoid. The latter will either
be treated at the Braddock hospital
or taken to Bismarck.
South of Braddock. j. j. Ryan
last spring planted fifty acres Of
eastern corn dent, we believe.
When it was few inches above
ground it was attacked by cut
worms and practically destroyed.
The piece was replanted with the
same kind of seed, and, although
very late. it came on nicely. and up
to date has entirely escaped the
frost. Some weeks ago Mr.. Ryan
was thankful that it was going to
make good fodder corn, but the
News now understands that, If a
killing frost does not come before
the middle of this month, the crop
will fully mature.
1t begins to appear that there is a
growing demand for the incorpora-
tion of Braddock as village. The
town is absolutely without fire pro-
lection. and very few, if any, are
carrying more than fifty per cent
of their risk in fire protection. A
few thousand dollars raised on
twenty y-year bonds would reduce in
surance rates more than it would
increase taxes, and the value Of prop
erty would be increased. And FL
thy, disease breeding back alleys
and vaults could be cleaned up. side
walks and crossings built, etc.
These suggestions are offered to the
large majority of our progressive
citizens. who want to see Braddock
one of the cleanest and most up-to-
datelittle cities on the map.
