It would be difficult to find anybody
who remembers the last fatal duel in
this country. The date was May 20,
1916, and the place spot on the
shore near Gosport. Lieutenant Haw-
key of the Royal Marines, believing
Lieutenant Seton had paid too much
attention to his wife at South Sea
function. called him villain and
BLACKBOARD, threatening to horsewhip
him and attempted to kick him. Al
though dueling had been forbidden by
articles of war in 1874, after the hor-
ror caused by the death of Colonel
Fawcett at the hands of his brother
in-law, Lieutenant Munro, in 1843, the
provocation in the Hawkey-Seton case
was such that a meeting resulted.
Seton fired and missed. The hammer
of Hawkey's pistol being set on the
safety notch, it would not go of. At
the second discharge Seton fell. Haw.
key fed to France.-London Mail.

THE NEW BOOKS
Books of Adventure.

THE Pioneer Days of the Ohio" is
the title of book written by Har-
risOn Adams. 1t is the first of a Sc
ries to be known as 1.-THE Young
Pioneer Series," and deals with the
adventures of family of pioneers
in the early days of our country when
the settlers were beginning to push
their way out into the primitive coun-
try beyond the Allegheny Mountains.
The story deals particularly with
the many adventures of two young,
Independent and courageous boys of
the type created by the stern neces-
sites of the time. 1t is a story of
conflicts with Indians, wild animals,
floods, forest fires and other perils
which beset the wilderness. 1t is
pleasingly told and holds the readers
interest throughout.
The book contains more than 300
pages and is illustrated. L. C. Page

SCISSORS AND QUEUES.

A consular report says that as a
result of the wholesale cutting oi
queues that followed upon the forma-
ton of a republic in China. the Chi
nese BARRIERS of that country have
found if necessary to buy hair clip
pers and other implements of Amer
lean BARRIERS.
This is not all that the scissors OF
civilization have done for American
trade in China. A lavish use of per-
fumery has come with the new style
of wearing the hair. Furthermore,
the adoption of Western customs has
brought an increased sale of Ameri-
can clothing.

persons who operate beyond the boun-
daries of a state must have federal

This law will affect and govern per-

culed the idea of talking over wire
and never dreamed of communicating
at distance through the air. Those

diculous then-a commonplace reality

THE FALL OF DIAZ.

Felix Diaz and the staff of his revo-
lutionist army have been captured
Two of the officers have been shot
two more are waiting execution and
Diaz has been summoned before the
court martial and sentenced to death
The capture of Vera Cruz by Ma
dero's troops was a surprise. Many
Americans had begun to doubt the
success of the federal army. There
may still be some trouble with rebels
throughout Mexico but it seems GER
tain that the Diaz power is crushed.
His plan to bring. his Uncle Porfirio
Diaz back to rule Mexico has been
thwarted.
The rule of the uncle before ex-
lied was one of the most tyrannical
in modern times. There were no
such things as freedom of speech or
a free press. Elections were staged
as farces. The peasants were really
slaves and the slaves were not pro-
tected from brutality by law.
Just now Mexico has a brighter fu-
ture than it has had for a long time
past The country is free from the
danger of one tyrant at least There
is a possibility now of a government
which will have some stability and
will guarantee the protection of the
fundamental human rights of the citi-
zens.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The small public library of Colum-

during the last year had a circulation
of 5SI4, which is more than double
that of the year previous. The Ii
brary is open only two hours on two
days each week. The library is not
advertised to any extent. yet each
hour that it is open the librarian has
all that she can do.
Do these facts not foretell the es-
tablishment of a distinct library build

Barefooted, a Pennsylvania million

ingly, at the too-saving disposition of
the man who was afraid to use his
own house.
But how about the student who goes
intellectually barefoot by spending
money for a textbook which he fails
