How "Honor" Was Satisfied by Com.
puIsory DueI In Hungary.
The code duello as Insisted upon
abroad is strikingly illustrated by the
story of happening at Budapest, Hun
gary. 1t appears that a lawyer, Ba-
bocsay by name, quarreled with his
wife over a new hat. The wife called
her brother, Lieutenant Hajdu, a mill
tary aviator, to her aid. The husband
used words deemed insulting by Hajdu.
This coming to the hearing Of Hajdu's s
superior officer, the latter ordered the
lieutenant to fight a duel with Baboc-
say. Neither party wished to fight.
Babocsay offered to apologize, and
Hajdu was willing to accept the apol-
ogy and thus end the affair.
But the military martinez was mex
orable. The duel must be fought to
satisfy the honor of the army. Conse-
quently these two men, closely related.
were compelled to attempt to try to
take each others life. They met, Ba-
bocsay, firing aimlessly, nevertheless
sent bullet through the lung Of his
adversary, and Lieutenant Hajdu died
Of his wound.
Upon hearing Of the death of her
brother at the hand of her husband in
her quarrel Nine. Babocsay went in
sane, twice attempted suicide and was
finally confined to an asylum.-Chicago

Momentum and Velocity,

In answer to the question els it not
velocity that produces gravitation? II
we throw stone against window of
sufficient resistance with too little We
locity it will not break, but If we
throw it with sufficient velocity the
window will break" the New York
American says:
1--WE do not know the cause of gravi-
tation nor Of anything, but the increas-
ed speed of a stone thrown is not the
cause Of gravitation; it is the cause of
momentum, which is product Of mass
multiplied by velocity. Momentum
would be the same if the stone were
thrown close to the earth, where the
full attraction Of its gravitation would
be felt, or out in space trillions of
miles, where the earth's gravitation
would be almost inf1nitesimal-that is,
the glass would break by increasing
the speed Of the stone as here on
earth"

HE7T|NGER COUNTY LAD
SETS FIRE TO BUILDINGS

"I've got her a going fine now"
is the statement alleged to have
been made by Barney Adams, a
young man Of Havelock, after setting
fire to the Charles Knox pool hall at
9 o'clock Saturday night. The result
ant blaze caused a property loss of
$4,000.
Young Adams is alleged to have
been badly intoxicated, according to
the witnesses who were called upon
to testify at the hearing which was
held at Mott.
He went to the rear of the Knox
pool hall where small shed housed
gasoline lighting apparatus. He is
claimed to have poured gasoline over
the wall of the pool hall then touched
a match to it. Staggering to the
front of the hall witnesses assert
that he made the statement about
"having 'er going"
The fire completely destroyed the
pool hall together with all contents,
and spread to the Peterson general
merchandise store and that building
was also completely destroyed. The
pool hall loss to building and equip
ment is estimated to be about $4,000,
while the loss to the Peterson busi-
ness on stock and building is at least
$4,000.
A restaurant on an adjoining lot
caught fire several times but was
saved.
The entire citizenship of Havelock
turned out to fight the flames and
a special train was run from New
England carrying fire fighting ap-
paratus and scores of volunteers.
This train arrived at Havelock about
9:45, and the work of the New Eng
land people saved the town.
Deputy Sheriff Wilhelm of Het-
finger county was called to Havelock
and took young Adams in charge. He
was taken to Mott Sunday morning
and the hearing was held Monday
afternoon. The alleged incendiary is
the son of w. B. Adams, one of the
early settlers of Hettinger county,
and reputed to be one of the
'wealthiest farmers in the southwest
,ern section of the state.
Because of the prominence of the
family intense interest has been
aroused. Practically the entire popu-
lation of Havelock was at Mott to at
tend the hearing.

MARY ANTIN

The tens of thousands who have
read "The Promised Land" and the
many more who have heard her speak
throughout the country during the
past three years need no introduc-
tion to Mary Antin.
To those not thus favored, it may
be said that, coming to this country
from Russia with her parents twenty
two years ago, a child of thirteen,
with no word of English and no ex-
perience of life outside the Jewish
Pale, within sixteen years she pro-
duced one Of the two great books of
the time.
Mary Antin is an ardent woman.
A progressive in the best sense,
democrat of democrats, she burns
with an equal flame for all of what
ever race, color or creed. Her mes
sage is direct and forceful, the result
of intense feeling concerning the
problems uppermost in the though of
America.
The titles of her talks are varied,
but in reality she has but one sub
ject. Whether she speaks on the Re-
sponsibility of American Citizenship
or The Public School as a Test of
American Faith, The Immigrant in
Statistics and in Life, or Jewish Life
in the Pale, at the end the hearer
realizes that he has been listening
to a plea for liberty, democracy, and
human rights.
And Mary Antin is herself a per-
feet and complete illustration Of her
text.
With entire simplicity, without
studied forms of speech and yet
with diction as perfect as though
wrought out in the leisure and quiet
of her study, she speaks words of
conviction which her audience find it
hard to forget. One may not always
agree with her, but no one can fail
to be influenced by her absolute sin
cerity, her terrible earnestness and
her vibrant optimism.
Laura Spencer Porter, in Woman's
Home Companion, says: The story
of her childhood in Russia is an alb
sorbing tale. I hardly remember to
have come across a more interesting
one. In it we get glimpses and glim-
mers of foreign customs, strange
happenings, the glitter of the unusa-
al, hints of almost unbelievable facts
and things to interest and horrify us.
She will give her adress at the Elks
auditorium Wednesday evening, May
Bird.
