It French gentlemen thirsting,.for each other’s gore really wish to know how to fight for honor’s sake, let them visit Medicine Hat and hear the story 0; how “Bulldog” Kelly and Mahone the stock- man' fought for theirs. It is only neces- sary to say of Kelly that once in his life he figured in a celebrated international ‘ law controversy which the then secretary of state, Thomas F. Bayard, ended. His mother was a friend of John A. Logan. Mahone was nothing more nor less than a frontier cattleman. He met Kelly first at Calgary, where in a dispute over cards an enmity arose between them. Subsequently they clashed in the Medi- cine Hat country, and Mahone wrongful- ly accused Kelly of stealing stock. Kel- ly would have killed him then and there but for the interference of the Canadian mounted police. Subsequently one of these policemen suggested to him that he challenge Mahone to a duel and that they have it out alone. Kelly evidently thought well of the suggestion. for a day or two later, meeting Mahone in that iso- lath and abused town, Medicine Hat, he quietly told him that he would meet him the next morning as the sun rose NO A DESPERATE DIIEL on the Tortured trail and prove to him with a gun that he was not a thief. Mn- hone nodded his head in acceptance of the defiance, and that was all there was to the challenge. " 4‘ ,1 _!_LA (0 ”ll: cuuurugc. Kelly slept in a ranchhouse that night but was up before dawn saddling his horse. He carried fur arms two six slipptegs,,and a short hilted bear knife. ~7_L 2... ‘1... D‘Iyy\'bbvnuuw “v - Herode away from the ranch in the heavy darkness before daybreak, head- ed’for the Tortured trail. He was a six footer, sandy haired, heavy jawed and called “Bulldog” because he had once pitted himself against an animal of that title and whipped him in a free tight. His courage was extreme from the brute point of View. To illustrate this, years after this event, when he was on trial for his life in a murder case. he was instruct- ed by his attorney to kill one of the wit- nesses against him in the courtroom it he attempted to give certain testimony. "Yon listen to him." said the attorney. “and it he tries to testify as to certain things let him have it.” c .u 77“”; ;uauau -\- _.._. __ Kelly. as a prisoner, entered the court- room with a knife up his sleeve, and he sat through all the proceedings with his eyes on the man he was to watch. The latter grew restless and when he took the stand broke down completely and did not aid. the prosecution at all. He divincd without knowing it that it he testified as the prosecution believed he would Kelly would then‘and, there end him. And this all took place not in a frontier court. but in a court of the United States govern- ment. Well, Kelly rode down the trail as gay in spirit as a man of his nature could be. He did not whistle, to:- whistling men are rarely brutal. But he abused his horse. and that was the best of evidence that be felt well. He watched the dark hang closer and closer to the plain grasses. the stars grow less brilliant until suddenly in the east it was as it a curtain was drawn up and the day came with the call of wild birds and a wind which rose from the west to meet the sun. He glanced toward Medicine Hat and from that point. out of the black and gray of the hour. rode Ma- hone, armed as his opponent was. They were a mile apart when they recognized each other. Kelly reined in his horse and waited. Mahone came on. No surgeons nor seconds were in attendance. Medicine Hat was asleep. Mahono drew nearer. moving a little to the left. as if to circle about Kelly. The latter suddenly drop- ped under his horse’s neck and tired. ilis bullet just clipped the mane ot Mahone‘s horse. Mahone gave a wild whoop and 1 fired back. riding. as Kelly was. Indian fashion and looking for an, opening. Both horses were now in motion, and the shots came thick and fast. Kelly’s animal went down first, screaming from a bullet through his lungs. His rider intreuched behind him. Mabone made a charge and lost his own horse. besides getting a bul- let through his left arm. He, too. in- trenched. In a few moments one of his shots cut a red crease across the forehead of Kelly and filled his eyes with blood. He wiped himself off and tied a handker- chief over the mark. Such was afraid to start out from his horse, but in the course of half an hour their ammunition was exhausted, and then they threw their pistols from them and came toward each other through the grass with their knives out. Kelly now had two good wounds 2%“ Mahone had been shot three times. ' " hey visibly stag- gered as they played for the first chance to close in.

They hacked and stabbed at each other until neither could more. and the small population of Medi- cine Hat. getting wind of what was go- ing on, rode out and brought them in for medical attendance. Kelly, besides his bullet wounds, had 14 knife cuts and Ma- hone had 15. They were put to bed in the same room. and the same doctor at- tended hoth. For days they lay almost touching each other. and neither spoke“ Medicine Hat had been unable to decide? which had the better of the tight. and it seemed as if it would be resumed if both lived to recover. But one morning Ma- hone raised himself painfully from his mattress. and he put out his hand to Kel- ly and said: "You ain't no thief. You’re game.” And Kelly covered the hand with his own, and they shook. That settled their feud. They were under the doctor‘s care for three months, but when able to get out rode away to Medicine Hat together the best of. friends. i That was a real tight. the only kind of a fight that a real man goes into if he is going to light at all. It was a pity that Kelly did not hold his courage afterward for better uses. He b-t‘e'trne involved in one of the nicer. brute; ‘t‘urtlz‘rq known to the Calgary regiox..

In December, 1883, Mark Twain, with other famous men, was asked to. con- tribute :m autograph letter to an album that was to be raflled for at the Bar- tholdi Pedestal Fund Art Loan exhibi}, tion. Here is Twain's letter: |l\;u- --___ “You know my weakness for Adam, and you know how I have struggled to get him a monument and failed. Nowz it seems to me, here is my chance. \Vhat do we care for a statue of. Liberty when we’fi'c got the‘ thing itself in its wildest sublimit,‘? \Vlmt you want of a monu-. mcut is to kcep'you in mind of some- thing you haven’t gotâ€"smncthiug you've 7’ ‘ ‘L A Y :I. -.- l_., ""“'a lost. Very well. \\'e haven‘t lost Lib- erty; we've lost Adam. “Another thing. what has Liberty done for us? Nothing in particular that 1 know of. “'11:”; have we done for her? Everything. \Ve‘ve given her a home and a good home too. And if she knows any- thing she knows it's the first time she e7- er struck that novelty. She knows that when we took her in she‘had been a mere tramp for (3.000 years. Biblical measure. Yes, and we not only ended her troubles and made things soft [or her permanent- ly. but we made her respectable. and that she hadn’t ever been before. And now, after we‘ve poured out these Atlantics of benefits upon this aged outcast, lo and behold you, we are asked to come for- ward and set up a monument to her! Go to! Let her set up a monument to us if she wants to do the clean thing. ,_AA.-.‘I But H unto tv uv .u.. ...v. “But suppose your statue represented her old, bent, clothed in rags. (lowncast, :hamefaced. with the insults and humil- iation of 6,000 years. imploring a crust and an hour's rest for God’s sake, at our back door? Come, now you’re shouting! That’s the aspect of her which we need to be reminded of, lest we forget it, not this proposed one, where she’s hearty and well fed and holds up her head and flour- ishes her hospitable schooner of flame and appears to be inviting all the rest of the tramps to come over. Oh. go toâ€"this is the very insolence of prosperity. “But. on the other hand. look at Adam. What have we done for Adam? Nothiuv. What has Adam done for us? Every- thing. He gave as life. he gave as death. he gave us heaven, he gave us hell. These are inestimable privileges, and. remember. not one of them should we have had with- out Adam. \Vell, then. he ought to have a monument. for evolution is steadily and 1 surely abolishing him, and we must get 1 up a monument. and be quick about it. or ur children’s children will grow up igno- ‘ rant that there ever was an Adam. “\Vith trifling alterations, this present statue will answer very well for Adam. You can turn that blanket into an ulster without any trouble: part the hair on one side or conceal the sex of his head with a tire helmet, and at once he's a man. Put a harp and a halo and a palm branch in the left hand to symbolize a part of what Adam did for us, and leave the fire basket just where it is to symbofize the rest.

The custom of boys wearing earrings in China is thus popularly explained by the Chinese: The boy is the greatest blessing that heaven can send. The spirits like boy babies. It is natural that they should; everybody likes them. Very often. it the boy babies are not watched closely. the spirits who are constantly around, grab tip the unwatcbed hey babe and carry him off to their home. Girl babies are not such blessings, and the spirits care nothing for them. The earring is a feminine ornament. and the spirits know that: so the Chinese mothers have the ears of their boy babies pierced and put in huge earrings.

Bacon and some companions in one of his bal- loon asecnsions from Newbury, England. Mr. Bacon, in telling of his experience, "5's; “In scarcely. more than 20 minutes- from the start a sudden and surprising change took place in our Circumstances. Our environment, which 'had appear- ed absolutely calm and clear, began changing with the rapidity of a trans- formation scene. Below us the few hun- dred feet that separated as from earth began filling in with a blue haze quite transparent, but growing palpahly filmier, while ahead, as also right and left. the horizon at the level of our eye and higher opposed a dense fog barrier of an ashen hue. Overhead of course the sky View was entirely hidden by the huge silken globe. At this time we were being swept along on our course, which remained sensibly unaltered in direction, at a speed which we suhseqnently were able to fix .n , 41.... an hnln‘, Aeronnntfl rot-approximately 40 miles an uour. “To ourselves the full significance of these circumstances was not immediately apparent, but the onlookers at our point of departureâ€"the town gas works, now some tire miles in our wakeâ€"clearly de- tected the approach of a heavy thunder pack and, as they reasonably asserted, coming against the wind. It towered above the balloon, now seen projected plainly against its face. It came on rap- idly and assumed formidable proportions. The balloon was flying due west at high speed. and at apparently no great dis- tance overhead the thundercloud was progressing at a moderate” velocity not accurately determined, but due east or directly opposed to the surface current. “And now with a whistle a blinding sheet of hail attacked the aeronauts, stinging their faces so sharply as to give the idea that the stones were falling from a greatbeight, and immediately aft- erward from all sides and close around flashes of lightning shot out with remark- able frequency and \‘ividness. We were, in fact. fairly embosomed in the thunder- cloud. Other and near observers narrow- i ly watched the phases of phenomena now in progress. These were the countrymen who became interested spectators and who presently came to our assistance. They seemed to have imagined that the balloon must he infallibly struck, inas- much as it appeared to them completely encircled with lightning. It was indeed the worst storm the countryside had known for many years. At Devizes, one ly a few miles ahead. it lasted for five hours continuously. A little way on our right a house was struck and burned to the ground, and on our left a couple of‘ soldiers were killed on Salisbury plain. ‘ “Though the storm progressed. it also appeared to lag behind the wind that bore it along. It did not seem to advance against us as a whole, but rather about us, forming itself out of what a few mo- ments before had appeared mere empty and transparent air.” The lightning as seen by the people in the balloon seemed to leap from cloud to cloud and not from the clouds to the earth. and the noise of the thunder con- sisted of short, sharp reports like the ex- plosions of gun cotton without any of the tolling reverberations heard on the earth. The aeronauts passed through the thunderstorm uninjured, but it was trying to the nerves. The question is, “\\'ith the lightning playing all around it and houses and men being struck on the earth below. why was not the balloon demolished by a thunderbolt?” 'i‘he Ring and the Crou. The form of cross known distinctively as Irish and consisting of a circle sur. rounding and binding together the head of the cross is in all probability but a representation of the ancient Milesian standard-a serpent twisted about a crossw] staff. Such crosses. rudely wrought in stone. have been found in pa- gan cemeteries and are probably relics 01 the serpent worshipers. The form, which is a very beautiful one. was re- tained by the early Christians with many other memorials of paganism. Upon these crosses the most beautiful and intricate sculpture was subsequently lavished; specimens fortunately remain to us in the celebrated cross of Con: and those of Monusterhoice. one of which is 27 feet in height. A monkish manuscript in- forms us that the body of the cross rop- resontod salvation and the circle everlast- ing life. but this was also symbolized by the serpent. of which the circle was un- douhtvdly a pagan representation.- Taking No Chances. A young man took his gold watch to a fzmhinnable Chestnut street jewelry 03- tablishment to have the photograph of a young woman placed in the case. He just wanted it pasted in. “Why don’t you have it photographed directly on the inside of the case?" asked the salesman. ”\Ve can have it done for you for $5, and it is so much more artistic." No; the young man didn't want that. [Io thought it would be well enough to have it pasted in. “You see you can't :xl- wnvs tell about those thing s,” be finally said in a burst of confidence. “You can’t always tell how they me going to turn out or how long they are going to last.
