An extraordinary method of settling
a dispute was that hit on by a doctor
in America some years ago. Two of
his friends had seriously quarreled,
and told him that they had set their
minds on duel. He replied that If
they would leave all arrangements to
him he would provide them with
novelty. They submitted to be guided
by him, and on the day fixed for the
encounter they made their appearance.
The doctor was there before them, and,
to their surprise he had no weapons.
Instead, he showed them pill box
containing four pills. and informed
them that while three of the pills were
quite harmless, the fourth contained a
poison which would instantly kill any
one who swallowed it. The rivals
agreed that each should take pill in
turn until one or the other drey the
fatal pellet. The first two draws"
had no result, and then each duelist
had another chance. The doctor made
them swallow the remaining pills ST.
multaneously, and a moment or two
later one of the combatants fell back
in his last agony.-Pearson's Weekly.

briefly:
Well. l am not going to deny it."
But is 1t true?" persisted the re-
porter.
If you must know-yes, it is true"
Are you going to ask writs against

should the justice act favorably, he
would first make the injunctions tenn
porary. 1t would then devolve upon
the property owners to appear and
show cause why the injunctions should
not be made permanent"
VIII you say who the owners are?"
Not at this time. Some of them,
however, are dealers who own the build

ought to know that. Liquor is sold
yes. But it is sold by men who fight
every difficulty that can put in their
way, and who are aided by an army
of watchers and all manner of ingen-
ious wireless devices to circumvent the
law.

effect that bottled beer. and some
