The incidents which have taken place in Dub lin may be repeated in Chicago, in Milwaukee, in New York City, at any moment. Tbey may occur because witli pre ci nely the Rame warning that the British government has had the American government has neglected, dodged, skulk ed away from the obvious duty and the unmistakable fact. —FROM NEW HORK TRIBUNE Our Troops in Mexico The withdrawal of American troops from Mexico at the dictation of a bandit government is the uttermost hum iliation to which a great nation can be subjecled. It IH the crowning act of cowardice on the part of an admistration wluch has neither courage, competence nor conviction. It is the final act of feehleness and folly, of vacillation and xacuity, of a party which is dead and decaying, aed which in the interest of public health and public decency should be buried finally and f ore ver in Noveniber, —FRÒM NEW YORK AMERICAN Wilson's Note Will Not Bring War The contenta of President Wileon's latest note to the German government must be for the newspapers and the public as yet mere guesswork. But whether it is a cata logne of the ships torpedoed in violation of solemn prom ises as well as of civilized law or a repetition of the White House axioms now known by heart in the Berlin forign office, it is nextto a certainty that this document will not be anything like sojserious a matter as some of the rumors about have hinted darkly.

How a Duelist Was Eliminateci By ELINOR MARSH During the reign of Louis XIII. France was one vast dueling ground. Dueling was especially in vogue in the army. A practice of this sort is, of eourse, sure to be abused. A good swordsman who desired to be rid of one who stood in his way would pick a «juarrel with him and kill him. Thea too, there were men who had a pas sion for killing other men. Mlle. Louise d'Alger, a girl of that period, very beautiful, much beloved, was a resident of Paris. One of her relatlres, a young man of great prom ise, waa killed in a duel, and his death rendered her very bitter against the custom. She could not understand why when a man was challenged by a person who was perfectly capabie of killing him and intended to kill him the victlm should be considered bound in honor to accept the challenge. Nev ertheless such was the custom of the times, and the challenged party had to choose between death and social ruin. At t.hl« time In Paris was a man who had been "out" a great many times and always killed his antagonist. Scarcely a week passed but it was an nounced that some man prominent «o clally had fallen before his sword- A terror fell upon mothers, sisters and lovers lest one whose life was precious to them would be added to his rictims. For a time it was hoped that some man more skillful than he would put him out of the way. But not one of the moet admirable fencers in Paris eeemed disposed to tackle him, and he did not trouble any of them. Louise d'Alger declared that any means of getting rid of the Scourge, as he was cailed, would be excusable and wondered why some man did not stab him in the back. She was tolà that one who would do that would be regarded as a murderer. "But," she replled. "he commits mur der ali the while." "True, but there is no law to punish him. Should any one stab him in the back the person doing so would fall under the ban of the sta tute coverins murder. Besides, he would be ostra cised by his friends." There seemed no Justice, but great injustice, in this to Mlle. D'Alger, and she could not dlvert her mind from a feeling that such an enormity was suf r fered to exlst merely by opinion. She brooded upon it till lt «eemed to her that she must do somethlng to stop the Scourge's murder», Just as Charlotte Cérday at a later period rid France of Marat. Mlle. D'Alger possessed a fortune and, though she was not noble, held a high position in Paris society. One day the elite received ìnrltatìons to a ball to be giren by her. What was the. Scourge's surpriae to receire an invitatlon. He wy not aeeustomed te receiring invitatlons unless he dropped a hint to some man of the family about to entertaln that he weuld like one. Then the bid was forthcoming, for a refusai would be regarded as an in wlt and would cost a life. The Scourge was much fiattered at receiv ing Mlle. D'Alger's inritation without any action on his own pari Then, too, he inferred that possibly she had fallen in lore with him. When he appeared among Mlle. D'Al ger's guests every one was astonished. The hostess had no man relative through whom he might have forced an invitatlon, and it was not to be expected that she would invite him of her own free will. Ali eyes were turned upon her when the duelist on entering the ballroom stepped up to her to make the formai greeting due the hostess, and every one marveled at her cordial reception of him. The Scourge was beside hlmself witJi pride and arrogance at having been in vited to the house of a lady of prom inence in face of the prejudice, as he cailed lt. of ali Paris. The first few dances he chose for partners some lady who had a brother, well knowing that she would not dare refuse him. Later he made his bow to the hostess. She smiled upon him graciously and took position on the floor beside him. Every eye was turned upon the cou ple. Mlle. D'Alger's views with regard to dueling were well known, and no one knew of any way by which he could force such cordial treatment Could it be that she had been fascinat ed by this man on account of the pow er he possessed through his sword? When in the dance the Scourge took his partner's hand in his he felt some thing prick his finger. He paid no at tention to it- Indeed, he could not well do so under the clrrumstances. Then he was seen to stagger and raise his hand to his head. Instead of conduct lng his partner to another locality tn the room he tottered away by hlmself. but before he had gone a dozen steps tank down upon the floor. A drcle formed about him, ali wonderhig what could have happened to him. Mlle. D'Alger cailed for lackeja and dlrected them to carry out the fallen man who was already dead. Then turnlng to her guests sald: "Let not this episode interfere with your amusement" She gave a sign to the rausidans, who play ed another dance. No investigatlon was made as to the cause of the death of t man that ftll Paris hated and. feared. On one of his fingere something like a pin prick was noticed, from which had exuded a drop of blood. It was known that his part ner wore a ring on the hand he clasped, the settlng of which was turned to ward. (Valve Side) 100 Miles for 10 cents Model 15 Price, $115.00 » 3. M. WORK R S R NORTH NINTH STREET . INDIANA, PffNN'A. Rings on Oyster Shells. A popular theory about rings on an oyster shell being an indication of its age is not supported by the careful in vestigatlon of Miss Ann L. Massy, who tested specimens from the oyster sta tion at Ardfry, at the head of Galway bay. It has been supposed by many that each ring, or group, on the oyster" s deep valve stood for a year's growth. But Miss Massy says that this deduc tion is not reliable. After a patient scrutiny of over 600 samples of various ages, from eighteen months to slx years, she says: "An oyster of eight een months or two summers appears to possess at least two rings, but may have as many as five. One of three summers has at least two rings and may have slx. A four-year-old oyster may have only three rings or may pos sess seven or eight."—London Mail. Uf« ®f an Arctio Sealer. The arctic sealer has a very hard life. Seallng does not consist only of scrambling over ice fields in search of prey and battllng breathlessly and fiercely when lt is found. There are many lncidental hardshlps to endure. The usuai type of arctic weather is a dense, lung clogglng fog, with cold that is enough to freeee a glowing furnace. This fog, strange as it may seem, is oftentimes mixed with cruel bllzzards of beavy snow, made more terrible by high and Constant gales. The passing of the snow is usually accompanled by sleet and raln that are more penetrating 1 than snow. Mlsery, therefore, is not an unfamillar visitor to the crews of arctic Bealera.— Detroit Free Press. Known by Their WaJk. A man's walk is as peculiar to him self as his personal appearance is. So much a part of himself is a man's way of walking, indeed, that it is most difficult to disguise. Many a fugitive from Justice who has completely alter ed his ordlnary appearance has been betrayed by his walk. The peculiar gait of many people often indicates their occupation. The policeman, the soldler and the sailor each has his peculiar walk which be traya him.—Pearson's. Just Suppose. You better stop yo' growlin' w'en you ain't got nuttin' 'tali ter growl 'bout.

Why plugglng beata dash in the busi ness world is explained by a business man In the Woman's Home Compan ion. ~Ooe thing that is hard for a young manto learn is that the race in busi ness is not to the swift, butto the steady.'* he says. "It was not until after marriage that I learned that. Be fore I was looked on as a man of abil ity, but unreliable. I held half a doren jobs, one after another, and was proud of the fact that I could apparently make good anywhere. I went to busi ness every day with a kind of chip on my shoulder. As long as my boss was good to me I would condescend to work for him, but—l was as free from responsibillties as the wlnd. There was as good a job for me in Butte, Mont., as in Chicago. So, while employers paid me well because I delivered the goods, no one of them regarded me as a manto be built into his organization." 0 Old Time Toast Drinklng. Hi ere used to be an old superstltioii that it was bad luck to drink a toast with a person standing behind the drinker. The reason for the supersti tion is this: Edward the Martyr by the eontriy ance of his stepmother, Elfrida, was stabtoed in the back as he was drink lag. It is said that from this affair arose the custom of bavla# the man mx ettber side of the toast drinker piedge him. According to William of Malxnsabury, it was the usage when a persoci was about to drink a health to Mk a neighbor at the board to piedge Om tornei- If the neighbor answered Tea" he beM up his knifs or sword lo gnard the drinker as he quaffed, fbr wfclle a man ls drinklng he is nec esaarily In an unguarded posture and exposed to a treacherous stroke.—N*w York Btm- Not aa Bad aa That.

"You must be hungry! But you look strong! Why don't you look for wort?" "Ah, mum, ye see I'm a little bit silly"— began the man in explanation.
