told not to cross into Florida, which
was then a, Spanish colony. He chased
the Indians to the border. and then, de-
spite the fact that formal diplomatic
channels between the United States and
Spain ran from Washington to Madrid,
he peremptorily demanded of the Span
fsh governor, in writing. that he sur
render certain Indian bands. The gov
ernor wrote back, covering his refusal
with verbose language, and complained
because Jackson, in his communication,
had not employed diplomatic phrase
ology. Jackson sent back another
peremptory letter, again demanding the
Indians and saying, in reply to the gov
ernor's complaint about the form of the
document:
"The, next diplomatic language you
will hear from me will come from my

two British subjects, Arburthnot and

A short time later word was brought
by travellers that a Senate committee
was Investigating Jackson's recent ac-
tivities, to determine whether he had
exceeded his authority. The fact that
the whole country was ringing with
praise of him seemed to make the Sen

to find something to criticize.
Jackson got out of bed, mounted a

No Boiled E6es on Mars.

OWING to the rare state of the air
" on the planet Mars, it has been
shown by a Government scientist,
water there will boil at much lower
temperature than on the earth. To
determine the degree of warmth Of
the distant sphere the experimenter
directs a ray of the planets light
upon two thin wires, thus setting up
an electric current, which is meas
ured by delicate instruments. The
temperature of Mars, according to
the scientist, is from 20 to 40 degr s
cooler than that of the earth This
would make it impossible to boil eggs

IN HE Dawes pipe and the Cool
idge hobby horse bring back
to the White House the shade
Of Gen. Andrew Jackson, who
was the hardest riding and
most furious pipe-smoking President
the country ever knew.
When Old Hickory. entered the
Executive Mansion in 1929 he brought
with him a large supply of long
stemmed clay pipes and some OF the
finest thoroughbreds of that sporty
age.
Jackson had need of many pipes
Whenever he flew into one of his yio-
lent RACES and started roaring BY
the Eternal.' he would stride rapidly
up and down his library and sooner
or later smash his pipe on the hearth
stone. Whereupon his faithful COL
ored slave, George, would dutiful1y
and silently hand him another. A
few years before, in Tennessee. he
had owned and raced the finest horse
Of his time, the thoroughbred TrVx-
ton, which, had the reputation of
never having been beaten. Even
after he became President Gen. Jack
son entered his own horses in the
races at the Washington track, where
attendance was SO heavy that Con-
gress frequently lacked a quorum for
the transaction of business.
That same horse. Truxton, was the
cause of the fatal duel between Jack
son and Charles Dickinson-one of
the IA duels the old warrior fought
Although 1t occurred 90 years before
he became President, it Influenced
Jackson's whole life and eventually
caused his death in 1S45, at the age
of 78. The circumstances of the duel
were also indicative of the character
of the man and throw light on his
military and political career
Jackson was the leading lawyer of
the new, thriving town of Nashville,
and was challenged to a horse race
between Truxton and a horse thought
was arranged and forfeits were put
up. The challenger was withdrawn
before the race, which was never run,
but Jackson and Dickinson, a friend
Of the owner of the other horse, be-
came involved in an argument as to
the character of the forfeit-a trivial
unimportant question to start with.
Those were the days of the code
duello, however, and friends of each
man egged their champion on until
the two principals were writing let
other liars. A challenge followed,
pistols were chosen and the duel ar
ranged, to be fought just over the line
in Kentucky. ...--

Overton, with a surgeon and a ceu-
pie of servants, started for the rem

week how he and a native COM
panion were dropped in a canoe

stranded without guns or gar

Through the ingenuity and Indian

to attack and solve the primeval
problem of providing themselves
with food, shoes and clothes with
which to make their way back to
civilization.
