/ had heard Sn0rlly aIter the uedln
of Senator Conkling, in 1SSS-due to
exposure in the great blizzard in
March of that year-that he was at
one time dangerously near fighting
duel and that If he had his oppo-
nent upon the so-called field of honor
would have been General John b.
Gordon, of Georgia. / had also heard
that Mr.. Hamlin had been designated
by Senator Conkling as one OF the
seconds.
I ventured to ask the ex-vice-pres-
ident what the facts were. He looked
at me with a peculiar glance from
eyes that, despite his great age, still
had the power of flashing brilliantly,
and there was a grim smile upon his
lips He said
THAT is a matter upon which none
of those who is concerned has any
thing to say. L can say, however,
that the affair terminated to the en-
tire honor of both of the senator's.
From anoher source. however, L
learned a few of the facts. and my
informa ton was corroborated by Al
fred Conkling, who inherited some OF
the intellectual brilliancy of his dis
tinguished uncle.
1t appears that in a debate in the
Senate in 1877 General Gordon, then a
United States senator from Georgia,
took issue with something which
Senator Conkling had said. He voiced
his criticism in these words: Al
though the gentleman from New
York is not in the chair, he Is giving
orders from the chair
Thereupon Senator Conkling said;
IF the senator states that l have
given orders from the chair he states
what is untrue" Immediately Cen
eral Gordon replied: 1--WE will settle
this matter elsewhere" and with that
Senator Conkling answered: We will
settle it here and now, and If the
senator states that l give orders from
the chair he states what is untrue"
Both of these senators had great
admiration and respect for the other.
Senator Conkling always regarded
General Gordon as the very finest
type of manhood and chivalry that
had ever entered the Senate. General
Gordon often spoke in words of pro-
found admiration of the abilities and
the commanding influence of Senator
Conkling.
I'm the old days" said my inform
ant "of course, such a passage as this
in the Senate would have meant a
meeting upon the field of honor. And
what a meeting that would have been
if the two principals had been Roscoe
Conkling, then the most illustrious
figure on the Republican side of the
Senate, and General Gordon, equally
admired and respected upon Doth
sides of the Senate"
Whatever may have been the feel
| ings at first of these two senator's the

DINNER Stories

An amusing story of how he
trapped a woman who was feigning
illness, is told by Sir John Collie. "A
woman, he says, was condemned
by house sergeon to wear for many
weeks a back splint for an alleged
stiff right knee. I removed the
splint, and directed her to sit down
and take off her right boot. Mean
while | eagerly piled her with ques-
tons as to what exactly happened at
the moment of the accident
whether the companys servants had
been becomingly polite, what she
said, what they said, and so forth,
all of which was no business of mine.
1t was intensely interesting to her,
however. She forgot the present
and lived in the past, removing her
boot in the usual way as she spoke
i. e., she crossed her legs and bent
her knee!"
The minister of church in
small village was noted for his alb
sent mindedness. One Sunday morn
ing he stopped suddenly in the mid
die of the sermon. gazed out of the
window and muttered:

A druggist lately received hur-
ried call from a small girl who de-

colleagues to whom the matter was
submitted had no intention OF per-
hitting the code of honor TO be re-
vived. There were four senator's, two
upon each side, Fand the ex-vice-
president was one. What was said II.
their conferences no man will ever
know. What these two tentative sec
onds said to their principals no man
will ever know. All that will be
known was that the explanations on
either side were perfectly satisfactory,
that Senator Conkling simply meant
to say not that General Gordon per
sonally told an untruth, but that the
statement was untrue, and all that
Gordon meant when he said that the
matter would be settled elsewhere did
not convey the meaning of a meeting
upon the field of honor. Yet there
was an impression at that time that
had the matter been mismanaged by
the friends of the two parties meet
ing would have been inevitable. Both
General Gordon and Senator Conk-
ling were men of high physical cour-
age.

az foretelling exposures in civic af-
fairs and increase in vice of every
sort. Robberies will continue to be
numerous and organized crime will
flourish.
Astrologers find in the posting of
the stars cheering prophecies as well
as indications of evil, since they see
in the elimination of misfortunes and

Persons whose birthdate it is have
the foreshadowing of difficulties dur

in business, especially concerning
contracts or partnerships. Women
should guard against gossip.
Children born on this day may be
quick tempered and impulsive. Both

careless and pleasure loving, but
they will have fine intellectual posi-
bilities.

FROM THE HICKEYyILLE CLARION
Erasmus Hardscrabble. a prosper
our farmer. had a hired man. Said
H. M. was of a very sleepy DISPOSE
ton. 1t was habit with him to
sleep. He went to sleep with the
chickens, not exactly with the chick
ems, but at the same time the chick
ems did, and he was wont to lie abed
in the morning scandalously late
sometimes as late as 5 o'clock
Farmer Hardscrabble had a large
rooster which used to crow Justify az
exactly o'clock every morning.
When he heard the rooster crow
the H NJ. would get up.
One day Mr. Hardscrabble sold
the rooster to a man five miles down
the road and, while the rooster crow
ed Justify at o'clock every morn
ing thereafter, his voice did not
reach the H. NJ. The rooster seemed
to be the only thing that could rouse
him from his slumber. Mr.. Hard
scrabble tried everything else, and
let 1t off three mornings in success
sion, but in spite of this the hired
man slept peacefully on until ten
minutes after o'clock or cen later.
This was not to be heard of, so
Farmer Hardscrabble tried loading
the old musket and shooting IL up
the back stairway. This was with
out avail and he placed two pounds
of dynamite under a dish pan and
shot 1t off under the hired mans bed
This did not have the desired effect.
Nothing but the rooster seemed to
fill the bill and he tried to buy the
rooster back. but the man five miles
down the road refused TO sell.
Finally Farmer Hardscrabble
thought of a brilliant idea He
bought a photograph. went TO his
neighbor's five miles down the road
and took a record of the ROSTERS
crow at ) o'clock one morning.
Thereafter at 5 o'clock every morn
ing he placed the rooster record in
the monograph out in the barn,
turned the photograph on and the
hired man was awakened as IL by
magic. The Fl. M. hasn't lost a mo-
ment's work since

For Children there is Nothing Better

A cough medicine for children must help their coughs and colds without bad effects on their little stomach and bowels. Foley's Honey and Tar ex- acty fills this need. No opiates, no sour stomach, no constipation follows it's use. Stuffy colds, wheezy breath ing, coughs and croup are all quickly helped and sweet refreshing slumber instead of feverish tossing at night.

PROBING SCHOOL
BOOK CONTRACT
MANY WITNESSES CALLED FOR
PROBE OF STATE SCHOOL
BOARD SCANDAL.

1t developed Tuesday that the gen
eral investigating committee of the
house of representatives has well
under way a general probe of the
famous textbook contracts" the let
ting of which, on July 30, 1912, pre-
cipitated the long-fought state board
of education controversy.
The committee has been at work
on this matter since the first of the
week but owing to the TACT that all
examinations are in executive or Sc
cret session, there were no public
developments until Thursday, when
the newspaper men were allowed to
see the list of witnesses.
Owing to his kinship with a men,
ber of the old board of education
Speaker MaXey disqualified himself as
chairman of the committee during the
textbook probe, and Representative F..
p. Hill, vice chairman CT the COM
mittee, is presiding at the examna-
tions.
The committee reached one or two
witnesses relative to the textbook
contracts during the regular session,
but did not take np the general in
vestigation Of this subject until this
week.
The list of witnesses includes
members of the old board of educa-
tion, several schoolbook men, some
state employees; j. G Masters, prin-
cipal of the Oklahoma City high
school, and otEer prominent persons.
Letting the Contracts.
The 1912 schoolbook contracts were
let early on the morning of July 90,
1912, between and $50 o'clock. In
an effort to prevent tie contracts,
which he held to be against public
policy, Governor Cruce issued an or
der, early the same morning, remov-
ing State Treasurer Robert Dunlop,
and Messrs. Scott Glenn and F. o.
Hayes as members Of the board Of
education, but, so the dis-commission-
ed board members contended, not in
time to prevent the contracts being
lawfully awarded.
Fearing that the governor might
get out an injunction to prevent the
contracts being signed by him, State
Superintendent r. II. Wilson, who
voted with Messrs. Glenn, Hayes and
Dunlop for the adoptions, lad the
doors of the rooms where they were
meeting, locked and as soon as the
awards were made, took the nnsign-
ed contracts to the home of Snowden
