gun. The next moment there was a
crash, and the bark of a gun, and there
was Mr. Britisher covering Jack from
his hip, his foot on the greaser's gun
and Silver Jack sitting in the sawdust,
using all the choicest Mexican cuss
words he could lay his tongue TO.
See here, boys, said the Britisher,

We'll, the matter wound up by or
ganizing a cigaret duel between the
Englishman and Jack.

by some hUmOrist when things was

If a bit misty, all the better-a couple
of guns and some cigarets- Then the

whenever they caught sight of a burn

The Britisher and Silver Jack looked
at their guns and walked off, and pres

the first to fire and the Britisher an

that after about 10 minutes had passed,

week to teach a bridegroom how to come
into church to the tune of "Lohengrin"
without falling over while posing his
foot IN the air and waiting for the next
beat and another week to teach him his
responses and make him remember which
Is his right hand and to keep his shoes
of the minister's feet.
Usually the bridegroom goes into the
ring overturned and makes a large
number of horrible breaks, among which
the following are the most popular: He
loses control of his necktie, Overbalanees
his best man whose duty is to prop him
up on the way in, pulls out his throttle
and gets to the altar nine beats too soon,
eollides with the father, horns IN with
prodigious yes" when it is the brides
turn, drops the ring, steps on the maid
Of honOr's train, wits his collar, and for
gets to kiss his mOtherinlaw after the
ceremony.
Almost all bridegrooms leave the
church in disgrace, but they are very
happy, for all they have to do in the
future is to support a family and pos
sibly 90 to war. The bridegroom bust
ness makes many bachelors, but also pre-
vents many divorces, once being enough
for the ordinary man.

PLAYING THE GAME
BY Oscar Provost.

n-ALKING Of sport" said the
American, who had been tell
= ing the little group of Eng
lishmen more about their country in
the space of 40 minutes than they could
have learned from other sources in 10
years, iii allow you Britishers have a
better idea of playing the game than
most folk I've met on either side OF the
herring pond.
of course, there are exceptions, but.
generally speaking, a Britisher keeps
straight in his sport, and seems to look
upon playing the game as a sort of
extra commandment, tackled on to the
other 10 for the special benefit OF
sportsmen.
Which reminds me of little affair
that happened at Paradise Halt some
years ago. You mustn't imagine from
the name that Paradise Halt was q sort
Of beauty spot with a sanatOrium for
oYerWOrked curates- 1t got its name
from some humorous cuss who died
suddenly during a quiet game Of poker
No sir, Paradise Halt was about as
merry spot as you could look for in
the States-a sort of health resort for
cattle rustlers, train wreckers, gam
blers, crooks from down east. with a
fair sprinkiinS of greasers and half
breeds in. its population.
We'll, one night I was in Long Bits
saloon in Paradise Halt, when in
comes Britisher-an Englishman, to
De more correct lie caled Tor a drink,
and then stared round at the rest Of US.
Now, there is only one thing can call
to mind to compare with an English
stare, and that's mosquito sting. Both
of 'em irritate you to madness. An
Englishman's stare would make an an
gel cuss, providing it wasn't British
angel
We'll, anyhow, Silver Jack must have
looked at it in that light. Silver Jack
was half white man and half an Az
tee, and about one of the worst rOgues
we come across.
He was spinning some sort OF a yarn
to Bud Simmons, when he happened to
catch sight of the stranger; and as the
latter seemed to be taking a lot of in
terest in Jacks silver chains and bells,
the Mexican turned shortly, and after a
bit he walked over to him.
Say says he cheeky like, you
look tired, stranger Have a drink?
The Englishman eyed him coolly.
I'm drinking, thanks says he.
Well, have another raps out Sill
yer Jack.
Presently says the stranger. still

seaman on board the Chesapeake were
claimed as deserters from the British
armed vessel Melampus. They were de-
manded. but Commodore Barron, Of the
Chesapeake, refused to give them up.
On the 22d of June, 1907, the Chesa-
peake left the coast Of Virginia, and on
the same day she was chased and at
tackled by the Leopold.
UnsuspiciOus Of danger and quite IN
prepared for an attack, Barron, after
as good fight as he was able to put
up, surrendered his vessel The four
men were taken aboard the Leopold
and the Chesapeake returned to Hamp-
ton Roads.
Upon investigation it turned out that
three of the men were negroes and ma
tive Americans and that the fourth
man had been impressed into the Brit
ish service and had deserted.
The effect of this high-nanded out
rage was just what might have been
looked for. Holly indignant at the
insult that had been offered them, the
American people were all ready for
war. President jefferson issued
proclamation almost Immediately, or
dering all British armed vessels to
leave the waters of the United States
at once. and forbidding any to enter
until full satisfaction for the insult
had been made.
The satisfaction was not forthcom-
ing, the insults were repeated in the
same insOlent way, and the result Give
years later) was our second war with
England, a contest in which our little
navy covered itself with glory" and
IN which was established, for good and
for all. the American doctrine of Free

A BRIDEGROOM is a pale, nervous
~ blot on wedding ceremony. His
clothes do not harmonic with the
bridesmaids hats; he does not keep
step to the music and when he throws
back the brides veil after she has been
pronounced his, he does it about as deftlv
as If he were removing an automobile
top by the roots.
In fact the bridegroom is a variegated
nuisance and would not be tolerated in
an artistic wedding if it were not for
the fact that he is a necessity without
which the wedding would droop and
wither. He knows this and takes advan-
tage OF his knowledge to act like a
young steer in a sham battle.
Bridegrooms are composed chiefly of
young men who have never appeared in
public before and who never will again
If the marriage takes. These young men
are brave in the presence of isolated and
detached young women and become en-
gagged to them without a tremor. The
prospective bridegroom doesn't hesitate
at the task of supporting a wife on
$4,000 a month in a style to which her
washerwOrhan Is accustomed. But the
thought of facing a church full of friends
in a new dress suit which is tight IN
der the arms and of causing them to
ask each other as he Tugs his enormous
white gloves up to the altar, why so
beautiful a girl should have gone
curiosity hunting keeps him unhappy for
months and makes him as hard to drill
and train for the ceremony as
rhinocerOus would be.
The bridegroom Is usually put in pre-
liminary training about three months
before the event and is given light
workouts at announcement parties and
family dinners. A month before the cere-
mony he goes into hard practice and is
exhibited daily at theater parties and
dinner dances. Two weeks ahead he Is
taken in charge by the organist, the di-
rector OF ceremonies and the maid of
honor and is polished of. 1t takes full
