A Duel vith Potato*«.
In County Carlow, Ireland, an ag
grieved member of a certain congrega
tion, declining to accept hia parson’s as
surance that he was not one of a set of
miserable sinners rather pointedly re
ferred to in the Sunday sermon, chal
lenged his vicar to personal combat, and
offered him his choice of weapons. The
challenge was accepted, the clergyman
declining, however, to use such secular
arms as swords or pistols, but expressing
his willingness to try a novel kind of
ammunition—i. e., raw potatoes—to be
used as missiles, the bigger the better.
The morning on which the novel duel
commenced was as raw as the potatoes,
which lay in a heap by the side of each
combatant. The potatoes were to be
thrown alternately. The challenger com
menced, and missed. The clergyman,
aiming calmly and scientifically, raised
with his first shot a bump upon his op
ponent's forehead almost as large as the
missile which caused it. The layman
promptly lost his temper, and aimed
wildly and recklessly, hitting the seconds
and missing the vicar with great regu
larity. The vicar, feeling that he could
afford to be magnanimous, put down his
potato, advanced to his aggrieved par
ishioner, held out his hand, and said:
“Come, Mr. O'R., I think we’re a couple
of idiots. Let us shake hands and be
friends, and utilize these vegetables for
a more peaceful purpose at dinner to
night.”—Leeds Mercury.
The Use cn Slang:.
“A man born and bred in the United
States fails to appreciate how much slang
he daily uses in conversation,” said an
intelligent American who had just re
turned from a continental tour. “He
fully appreciates these blemishes, how
ever, when he returns to America after
having had daily intercourse with some
of the well bred persons in Europe. He
picks up these blots on perfect speech so
gradually and they multiply so rapidly
that before he is aware of the extent of
these acquisitions at least one-tenth part
of his vocabulary consists of slang ex
pressions.
“This fact is so true of America that
even the ignorant peasants of Ireland
recognize it when their countrymen re
turn to their native land. As heard in
Aifterica slang seems to add force and
expression to conversation, but this is
only seeming, for when contrasted with
really simple and consequently elegant
diction the difference in strength can
readily be seen. There are some slang
words, however, in the American vo
cabulary which, if used at the right time
and place, find their bull’s eye like a
minie ball. But, as a rule, the use of
slang words is only a blemish on conver
sation, and its use cannot be too heartily
condemned.”—Chicago Herald.
Pussy and the Porker.
An El Dorado Springs (Mo.) corre
spondent tells of a singular attachment
between a Berkshire pig and a kitten.
Both animals fed from the same trough,
and appeared to take delight in helping
each other. During the winter,when the
kitten's feet got cold, kitty would hunt
up piggy, now and then giving a loud
meow, upon hearing which the porker
would answer with a friendly grunt.
Pussy, in finding its friend, would take
the nearest route for the hog''s hack, gen
erally climbing up its long snout.
During cold nights kitty slept on the
pig's back, and in the morning would be
found in the same convenient place rid
ing to the barn, about a furlong distant,
where puss caught mice. It was, indeed,
an amusing sight to see piggy wading
through deep snow with the cat (toes
turned in) on its back, evidently as com
fortable as a queen in 'her carriage and
four.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Was Always Old.
Anent the Prince of Wales’ visit to
Scotland, an amusing tale is going the
rounds. While his royal highness was
awaiting his train at the railw'av station
he fell into conversation with one of the
local notables who had been appointed
chairman of the committee to receive
and entertain the prince.
“This,” said the prince, felicitously,
“this is really a very old city of yours.”
“Yes, your royal highness,” answered
the Scotchman gravely, “it has ever been
considered so.”—Eugene Field in Chi
cago News.
Pineapple Juice for Diphttieria.
Medical science has long sought for a
sovereign remedy for the scourge of
childhood, diphtheria, yet the colored
people of Louisiana, and perhaps of other
localities in the south, have for years
known and used a cure which is remark
able for its simplicity. It is nothing
more nor less than the juice of the pine
apple.—Chicago Tribune.
A Milk White Deer.
White deers are very scarce things, but
Mr. B. F. Coburn, of Molunkus, seems to
have no trouble in finding them. He has
secured the skin of one that is perfectly
white, not a colored hair on it. It was
shot near Mount Katahdin, and is the
second white deer killed in this state in
five 3-ears.—Bangor News.
Which Jack?
“What is the matter, Alice? You look
worried.”
“I am. It’s too mean for anything!
These roses have just come with a card,
‘Wear these for Jack,’ and I don’t know
whether they are from the Jack I hate or
the one I like. It's too horrid!”—Har
per's Bazar.
LIQUID GOLD.
A master mason named Andrews, of
Providence, R. I., has just received with
some change a copper cent which he
stamped with his initials and put in cir
culation about fifty years ago. He had
always hoped to get it back again and
now would not part with it, he declares,
for hundreds of dollars.
A dentist in St. Louis says that there

Legend there is, somewhere In Persian story,
Relating how a peasant, bent and hoary,
Enriched but with the memory of good deeds,
Into the shadow land where death succeeds,
Came with his weight of years, ail nncousoled.
Here fate to him a radiant Peri leads,
Serving a chali<-e brimmed with liquid gold.

Of thy good deeds. Drink: For the gods have

Kindness for kindness. In this draught thouTt
find
Assurance of endearing peace of mtnd.
Years of renewing life and strength's increase:”
E’en as the peasant drank the potion kind
Restored was he to youth, to health and peace.
Akin to that rare Deotar is this wine
Unto the sunbeams giving gold for gold!
Some mystic power like that by legend told
Blesses its mission with a gift divine;
Rich in its treasure of vitality
Unfailing doth its benediction bring
Comfort and strength unto the suffering,
Hope to the hopeless on life’s threatening sea.

SHERIFF JACK'S STORY.
When I found that I would have to
wait several hours at Povvderviile for my
train I wondered how I could manage to
pass away the time.
It was rather duli for an hour or so,
until I met Sheriff Jack.
We introduced ourselves. The sheriff
saw that I was a stranger, and having
nothing to do he proceeded to entertain
me.
I had heard strange stories of lawless
deeds in Buckshot county—stories in
which Sheriff Jack figured conspicuously,
and as we lounged in the shade in front
of the court house I found myself asking
questions rather freely.
My companion was not at all reticent.
After he had pumped me to bis satisfac
tion he began to talk about Buckshot
county and its noted characters.
It was very pleasant to rest there in
the shade, watching the sturdy six footer
as he whittled a pine shingle, and it was
equal to an Arabian Night's Entertain
ment to listen to some of his yarns.
The county, if what I heard was true,
was a rough locality. Human life was
not held at a very high estimate. Some
times duels were fought, and long stand
ing feuds between families occasionally
resulted in bloody tragedies.
While we were talking a young man.
whose pale, sad face and glittering eyes
instantly drew my attention, walked out
of the court house and made his way
down the street.
“Tliet's Bob Ransom,” said the sheriff
in a low tone, with a significant nod of
his head.
“And what is he?” I asked; “one of
your lawyers or merchants?”
“Oh, no—jest a planter like most of
us.”
“Anything remarkable?'’
“Yas—bet yer life tliar is—he's a Yan
kee, yer know.”
“Never heard of him,” 1 replied brisk
ly; “but why is a Y T ankee remarkable?”
“Yer don’t quite ketfii on."'answered
Sheriff Jack. “Tliet Y'ankee thar has
killed six niggers.”
“Did he blow them up with dynamite?”
I asked laughing, for I did not believe
the tale.
The sheriff looked at me with a frown.
“Mebbe yer calls sicliasthater jokin'
matter,” lie said.
1 hastened to assure him that he was
mistaken, and begged him to tell me all
about it.
“Yer see, - ' said he, “this young feller
Ransom has killed six niggers that we
know of, and how many more the Lord
only knows.”
“Has he been tried?”
“Tried fur whut?” inquired the sheriff.
“For murder.”
“No, and ain’t ergwine ter be.”
“Has he been arrested?”
“Arrested fur whut?”
“Do you mean to tell me, - ’ I said, “that
the authorities have made no effort to
bring him to justice?”
“Thet's a bran’ new way of putting it,”
replied Sheriff Jack; “but thet's about
the size of it.”
I was 6iient a full minute. Then I
spoke up.
“Did Ransom kill those men because
they attacked him, or in a fight, or how?”
“He jest hunted ’em down one by one
an’ killed ’em.”
“Mr. Jack.” I exclaimed. “I cannot un
derstand such a state of affairs. Why
don’t you arrest the man?"’
The sheriff's eyes grew misty, and he
wiped away something like a tear.
“Cunnle/’ he whispered, hoarsely, “I'd
resign fust. Besides, I have no call ter
act. The grand jury has found no in
dictment. Thar's no warrant out. 1
never saw Ransom fire a shot. We jest
know in reason thet he done tiie job, but
thet's all. We ain't got no pint blank
evidence, an’ we don't want none.”
“It will hurt the county.”
“Not by a durn sight. It will help it.”
Then Sheriff Jack told me all about the
sad business.
Robert Ransom had come to Buckshot
counts’ with his yiuing wife from the
north, and had made his home oil a
plantation.
The Ransoms in a quiet way made it
understood from the first that they were
going to carry out their own peculiar
ideas. They hired a large number of ne
groes and treated them just as they would
have treated so many whites. They paid
them good wages monthly in cash, loaned
them money, worked them eight hours a
day and gave them frequent holidays.
The young couple were so pleasant and
attractive, so honest in their views and
so full of good fellowship that their neigh
bors were very friendly with them. Oc
casionally the older citizens warned them
that they were making a mistake, and
that their negroes would give them trou
ble.
But the Ransoms laughed at all this.
They said that kindness was bound to
win, and they believed that putting the
negroes on a footing with the whites
would stimulate them to d<> better work
and make them mere faithful.
It was suggested one day to Ransom
that it was a risk to leave his wife alone
on the plantation when he went to town.
The young man laughed the idea to
scorn.
“My policy makes us safe,” he said.
“My negroes are bound to me by the ties
of gratitude and friendship. They would
die in our defense.”
One day in the summer Ransom had
to go to town on business. Just before
he started his wife, a pretty, fragile little
thing, put her arm around his neck, and
begged him to return early.
“Bless my life! I believeyou are afraid!”
' 6aid Ransom.
“I feel nervous,” answered bis wife. “1
don’t know what is the matter with me,
but I am strangely depressed. All the
house servants are going off to camp
meeting and I shall be alone. Now, try
to get home before dark, please.”
Ransom promised, and kissed her, and
then handed her a small pistol.
“If anybody bothers you point that at
them,” he said, jestingly.
“I will do more.'’she answered: “if I
am in danger of the worst I will turn it
against myself.”'
Her husband kissed her again, told her
that she was a little fool, and rode off to
town.
It was Saturday, and a busy day. In
spite of his best efforts Ransom found
that he was late in getting home.
At last the planter was on the road, and
he flew at the top of his speed.
Nine o'clock—ten caught him before he
reached the plantation.
Before taking his horse to the stable he
thought he would speak to his wife,
whose white dress he saw on the piazza.
He walked right up to her and sl»e did
not move, as she sat there in a big rock
ing chair.
What did her silence mean?
Ransom saw a dark stain on the white
dress, and seized his wife by the arm.
She was dead—shot through the breast
—and in one hand she still held the pis
tol with which she had taken her young
life!
The wretched man found that the
house had been robbed, and the foot
prints near it showed that a strong gang
of negroes had visited it during his ab
sence. It needed no one to tell him why
his wife had killed herself. It was her
only escape from a worse fate.
“Yas,” drawled Sheriff Jack, after
telling this part of the story; "it stirred
up the count}'. Everybody was sorry fur
the poor feller, but he might er knowed
jest how it would turn out. All the nig
gers turned up but six, an’ in course we
suspicioned ’em. We tried bloodhounds
and done our level best, but nobody had
any luck but Ransom. Fust an’ last he
got erway with six of the devils an’made
no bones about it either.”
“Did he tell it?” 1 asked.
“Sartinly lie did. Many an’ many a
night lie's come back from his hunt an’
told me about another nigger he’d fixed
that day.”
“It is awful,” was my comment.
“That's no name for it,” said the sheriff,
“but Ransom was not ter blame. He was
only a youngster, full of New England
crank ideas, and bethought black human
natur was the same as white human
natur. After his trouble he acted like a
man—hunted the beasts down. He made
some of them confess, an’ then shot ’em.
Others had some of bis wife's trinkets,
air others jest acted suspicious like, yer
know. He made a clean sweep of the
gang, an’, stranger, you’re the fust man
thet’s talked about arresting and trying
him.”
“I didn't understand the ease,” was
my reply.
“Well, yer understand it now,” said
Sheriff Jack. “We don’t stand no fool
in’ down here in Buckshot county. We
go in fur straight justice. If yer got on
the jury would yer go agin Bob Ran
som?”
“iJo, I would not,” was my emphatic
response.
“Good fur you!” shouted the sheriff.
“Thet's the way we feel. Bob Ransom
will never be bothered in this count}'.”
Just then I heard the whistle of my
train, and with a hurried shake of the
hand I left Sheriff Jack. If any of my
readers ever visit Buckshot county it will
pay them to hunt up this model officer.
Some of his methods may be a little
irregular, but lie is the right man in the
right place.—Wallace P. Reed in Atlanta

The Mule on the Farm.
A mule weighing 1.000 pounds is about
as strong as a horse weighing 1,500
pounds. If well used mules will live
twenty-five to forty years. They are use
ful near!}’ twice as long as heavy horses,
often three times as long if used on the
paved streets of cities. As a rule mules
do not become vicious if used continual
ly, but horse mules will frequently kill
pigs, calves, sheep, etc., if kept idle and
well fed.
New England Homestead advises that
in caring for mules the same rule should
be followed as in the care of horses,
namely, kind treatment, quiet but firm
control being exercised. Mules should j
be broken to the bridle and halter while I
very young, and before they get their
teeth, that they may be the easier han
dled. If this plan is adopted there will
be little trouble with them as they de
velop, and when strung eirough to be
put to work they will take it as natur
ally as does a horse. Mule colts demand
as much care and warmth in winter as
any other animal, and the size and stam
ina depends as much on food as does
that of tiie horse.

Alonzo Peppers, a Canadian farmer,
had a colt which kicked at him. He put
it in a stall in the barn, and for seven
years it has not been out of the narrow
box. Its hoofs have grown so long that
the animal is a curiosity worth $500 to a
New York museum, but Peppers will not
sell. He says it will take him ten more
years to get revenge. —New Y'ork Press.
