NOT MEANT TO BE SERIOUS
Comparative HarmIessness OF French
Duels Is Largely Matter OF
Arrangement.

A large proportion of the duels in
France end without bloodshed. When
the offense is not very serious 1t is
agreed beforehand that the words OF
command shall be given so rapidly
that the duelists will not have time
to take good aim. Sometimes three
shots are exchanged without a hit,
and then the seconds step in and
"honor is satisfied" At the word
"Fire!" the pistol is raised instantly,
and it must be discharged not later
than the word three so the speed
with which these words are given
regulates the time in which 1t is pos
sible to take aim. Therefore the speed
with which they are spoken is agreed
upon beforehand, this depending upon
the seriousness of the duel. The
words are timed with metronome.
If the encounter be very serious this
is set at the slowest speed, 80 beats a
minute, which gives time for taking
accurate aim. A speed of 140 beats a
minute allows no time for aiming, and,
therefore, is used when the seconds
consider the duel should be made as
little dangerous as possible.

Rural Life, the Nations Hope.

I warn my countrymen that the
great recent progress made in city
life is not a full measure Of our civil
lization, for our civilization rests at
bottom on the wholesomeness, the at
tractiveness and the completeness, as
we'll as the prosperity of life in the
country. The men and women on the
farms stand for what is fundamentally
best and most needed in our American
life. Upon the development of coun-
try life rests ultimately our ability, by
methods requiring the highest intelli-
gence, to continue to feed and clothe
the hungry nation; to supply the city
with fresh blood, clean bodies and
clear brains that can endure the ter
rife strain of modern life; we need
the development of men in the open
country who will be in the future as
in the past the stay and strength of
the nation.-Theodore Roosevelt.

STREWN WITH WAR MUNITIONS
"SaIted" With Ancient Make Of
Bombs and Grapeshot.

If what engineers and others inter.
ested in the additional reclamation
work on filed fields in Colon report
is true, parts of the city are fairly
we'll salted with bombs and grapeshot.
A number of these have been dug up
by suction dredge, which is now ex.
cavating near the end of the slip, to
the west of the pier at Cristobal.
About half a dozen of the larger
projectiles and peck of smaller balls
were found in the stone box of the
dredge recently, and it is estimated
that a greater quantity went through
the discharge pipe into the reclama-
tion fill east of East street, Colon.
The projectiles were incrusted with a
kind of natural concrete, made up Of
coral deposits, sand and shells, to the
thickness Of two inches. Below this
was a coating of rust; beneath the
steel was clean and we'll preserved.
The mark, 20. R. D. D. 1852" was
found in the interior of some of the
largest projectiles. One, when it was
opened, contained black powder in a
state of fair preservation.-From the

DOvER's 2ooT4 ANNIVERSARY
Event WILDE Celebrated With Pageant
Spectacular in Character

Spectacular in Character
A movement has been inaugurated
by the Dover Century Club to cele-
brate a most important event in the
History of Delaware the deed of
land from William Penn for the laying
ont of the Town of Dover in 1717.
1t is proposed to celebr ate the 2OOth
anniversary of the birthday of Della
wares Capital with an Historical
Pageant on the Dover Green. Those
who have put the movement in motion
hope it will grow so that every resi-
dent of Dover will take an active
part in this important event. and
that the interest will spread through
out the State.
Since Delaware was one of the
original Colonies, and since in her
Capital town many events of historical
Importance to the Colonies and to the
Nation have taken place during these
200 years. it is fitting that the cele-
bration should be held with pomp and
dignity. 1t is not town event only
but an event of Importance to the
entire State.
Among the historical episodes which
will be depicted on the Green will be
the landing of the Swedes and the
Dutch Settlers, scenes from the English
Colonization period and the stirring
times of the revolution. 1t is pro-
posed tu end the pageant with bril-
liant procession.
At the time of the celebration it
would be fitting to have an Old Home
Week, inviting distinguished sons and
daughters of Delaware to be present
and to make the occasion a gala one
in every respect.
The very capable pageant com.
mittee, Mrs. Henry RiGgely, Mrs. A.
E. Watson and Miss Nan Hayes, art
planning a series of delightful inter.
esting talks on the subject by vel
known men and women who have beer
very successful in producing this in
teresting and novel form of entertain
ment.
1t is proposed to have a profes
sional director or pageant master com
to Dover to direct the event. Tn
Dover Century Club is the first larg
organization to take a step towar
this splendid work, by giving a pla,
in the Opera House under the direction
of Miss Mabel Tebo, a part of th
proceeds to go toward the pagean
fund.
Mr.. Willard Spencer, we'll know
