HAPPY row ■ How a Deadly Insult Was Paid Without Loss of Blood. AS USUAL A WOWLX IN IT, y Two Captains of the’ Same Regiment Attempt to Settle a Score That Lin gered From Their West Point Days —Particulars of a Duel—The Chal lenge and the Result. An emblematic button of the Loyal Legion adorned the lapel of a cheviot coat worn by Maj. Oscar Bell at the Albany. “A story, eh?” laughed the ex-army officer, as he detached his eyeglasses from the bridge of his looked in a good natured way at t®sA;pectant re porter seated beside him. “Well, lemme see. The smoke of Shiloh is a chestnut now. and the battle of the Wilderness prAably has been smothered from f urtherWterest by a pro fuse growth of weeds. By Jove! I can give you a little incident that has never been in type. It happened in 1863, when our regiment was in camp at a little Missouri town called Lexington. I wore a captain's straps at that time and did the shouting for Company B. “Thecaptain of Company D wasnamed Henry Poor. Unknown tJme he detested me, and all because I once made a pun on his name while at West Point. Being a young man of stringent means he was mortally offended, but later seemed to have overlooked an unintentional sally of wit that I got off at his expense among a group of fellow cadets. “Well, when we got our commissions the loaded dice of fate threw us both in the same regiment, and when the war broke out we went to the front under the same colonel. As I said before, our regi ment camped at Lexington, Mo., near Kansas City, or Westport, as it was known in those days. Among the events that transpired during the two weeks of our sojourn was a grand ball, given at the residence of a loyal northern woman, for Lexington, although a Missouri town, had great respect for the Confederate colors, and a great many of its citizens heartily sympathized with the southern cause. At the ball several of the officers of our regiment were invited—Poor and myself included. THE CHALLENGE. “During the evening I placed my name on the programme of one of the Lexing ton belles, but when I called for the danceA was horrifiedagt the discovery that fay name deliberately -is- t s^Oind>hatte^^| evi dently by liimselnvvnen Poor and the young lady started off amid the seductive strains of the orchestra my blood fairly boiled with indignation. Later in the evening I caught Capt. Poor in the gen tlemen’s dressing room alone. I slapped him roughly in the face, and told him just what I thought of him. He did not resent it there, but the next day I re ceived a challenge from him to fight a duel. “I had never fought a duel, and I hesi tated some time, but rather than be ac cused of cowardice I consented. The matter was placed in the hands of friends, and one bright moonlight night five dark figures sneaked out of the camp and into a neighboring wood. The fifth figure was that of a doctor of Lexington, who had been let into the secret and con sented to act, in consideration of a big fee for his services. To every- appear ance the duel was to be a tragic one, al though I thought at one time I detected a slight smirk in the features of the sec onds, who were mutual friends of the determined principals. “ ‘Measure off ten paces,’ commanded the doctor as he wiped a tiny stream of Missouri nicotine from his chin whiskers. The doctor was to act as master of cere monies. The space was measured. “ ‘Bring on the weapons,’ was the next command. The seconds brought forth an ominous looking bundle care fully wrapped up in oilcloth. Capt. Poor shuddered. I was equally nervous. Ugh! the weapons were evidently wicked sa bers, and it would be a duel from which neither principal would emerge alive. We took our places ten paces apart and stood glaring at each other, patiently waiting for the supposed swords to be placed in our hands ready to pierce each other’s heart. the result. “ ‘Gentlemen, here are the weapons,’ exclaimed the doctor as two large base ball bats rolled out of the oilcloth. He advanced and placed one in the hands of each principal. ‘Mind, gentlemen, you are not to violate the rule to keep ten paces apart. Are you ready? “Capt. Poor and I gazed at each other. The seconds were doubled up on the ground in convulsions of laughter. Even the doctor smiled, and to cap the climax a silvery laugh from a woman’s lips broke the stillness of the air as the fair cause of the duel strode on to the duel ing ground with eyes sparkling with mirth. “ ‘Do be sensible, gentlemen, and shake hands,’ said she. ‘There is going to be another party next Tuesday even ing, and I will divide my programme of waltzes with you both if you do.’ “I looked at Poor, and we met half way and shook hands. The ludicrous contemplation of a duel with baseball bats at a distance of ten paces was too much for us. We laughed heartily after casting a reproachful glance at the mis chievous seconds who put the job up on us.” At this juncture there was a rustle of satin near the hotel elevator, and the major arose in response to a signal from a well preserved lady. As he left the reporter he said, with a sly wink of his left eye, “I got that young lady for life, though, and Poor J? up in the Sioux voeiatrynow, ana sun a uacneior." wnn these parting words he disappeared into the dining room with the wife of his ro mance.—Denver Republican. Spider poison appears to have special effects on certain insects, and the largest flies are not always the least affected by it. Insects over which spider poison has but little influence are usually left mesh ed in the web to struggle until exhausted before the spider attempts to devour them. TUbrave DEED. He Knew the Crowd He Had to Deal With. Madly flew the sleigh over the track less prairies. It needed not the lash that the frantic driver was using with all his energy to urge the frightened horses to the top of their speed. The blood curdling howls of the wolves that grew momentarily nearer and nearer lent wings to the panting animals, and they tore along over snowy wastes, every muscle strained to its utmost, every nerve quivering, their nostrils di lated, their eyes starting from their sockets, and long trails of filmy vapor from their steaming bodies following in their wake. “Comrades,” said one of the in the sleigh, rising up, pale, but wiA iron resolution written in every line of his face, “the wolves are gaining upon us. In five minutes more, unless they are checked, we are all lost. If we had ten minutes we could reach that farm house yonder, but we cannot do it. There is only one hope. One of us must sacrifice himself for the others. Farewell!” Before they could stop him he had thrown himself out of the sleigh and dis appeared. On flew the horses. The sleigh, re lieved of the weight of the brave man who had voluntarily offered himself a sacrifice to the bloodthirsty animals to save the lives of his friends, went per ceptibly faster. A few minutes later and they dashed into the yard surround ing the little farm house. They were saved! But how had it fared with that daunt less, unselfish hero? Will it be believed? The gaunt, hun gry wolves, diverted from the pursuit of the sleigh, had no sooner surrounded him than they seemed to regard him as a friend. They smelt of him, fawned upon him with every demonstration of delight, and one of the boldest and fiercest of the whole pack, evidently the leader, offered him his paw as if to shake hands with him, looked at the sleigh, now too far away to be overtaken, shook his head slowly, turned about and trotted away, followed by all the rest. The fierce, bloodthirsty wolves had recog nized in this man a kindred spirit. He was a Kansas City real estate agent —Chicago Tribune. He Wanted Something Recent.

The Earth’s Age- The age of the earth is estimated from the increment in the temperature as we penetrate its crust. The rate at which the earth cools can only be determined by making use of data confessedly im perfect; but from these Sir William Thompson finds that 100,000,000 or 200,- 000,000 years ago it first began to be crusted over by a solid film of rocks; that 10,000,000 years afterward it was still so hot that the temperature in creased 2 degs.

The Way He Got Even, I recently visited a certain part of this world where it seemed as though every other man and about half of the women whom I met were the authors of books, and not a few of them entertained the notion that I must have read or heard of their volumes of poetry or theology or romance or criticism or legisties or piety or science. I was often embar rassed by the question of new acquaint ances, “Have you read my book?’ and I always felt indisposed to give offense by repeating Carlyle's reply to the inquiry, “No; is it a big book?’ On one occasion, however, when a pro fessor in the university asked me the fa miliar question, I bethought me of away of relieving myself from embarrassment by abruptly, yet I hope courteously, ask ing, “Have you read my book?’ Ths professor, who had not heard of my brochure, though it appeared in print ten years ago, was put in as bad a plight as he had previously put me in, and his mortification over his ignorance was even more grievous than mine. The quiddity served me ever afterward when I met an inquiring author. —John Swin ton. Civilities Exchanged.

An or gan grinder with a monkey started to play the “Marseillaise.” The monkey tripped across to the French gentleman and held up his paw. The foreigner placed therein a coin, and the monkey took off his little red cap.
