GREAT WRITERS NEAR DUEL
Tolstoy and Turgonov In Flores Dis
pute That Might Have Led to
Deadly Encounter.
Tolstoy and Turgenev, famous Rus
sian novelists, were contemporaries
and friends, but on one occasion they
had a serious falling out. As gathered
from a recent biography, this Is the
story of their quarrel: The two fa
mouse novelists met at a friend’s house.
Turgenev spoke enthusiastically of
his young daughter’s new English gov
erness. mentioning that she required
the child to mend old. rugged clothes
to give to the poor. “Do you consider
that good?” demanded Tolstoy. “I cer
tainly do.” replied Turgenev ; ‘it makes
the charity workers reullze everyduy
needs.” "And 1 think that a well
dressed girl with dlihy. malodorous
rags In her hands Is acting an Insincere
farce,” commented Tolstoy. ”1 ask
you not to say thaj," exclaimed Tur
genev. hotly. “Why should I uot say
what I am convinced Is true?” retorted
Tolstoy. “If you say that again 1 will
fan your ears!” Turgenev cried, white
with rage, and rushed from the room.
A duel was narrowly averted. After
ward these famous uieu became ret
onciled, ami on his deathbed Turgeuev
wrote an affecting note to Tolstoy, ad
dressing him as “the great writer of
our Russian land.”—Outlook.
Chinese Queues Not Barred.

of the |*ecul!ar facts In connection
with the trade Is th«» often after the

ships at sea are in no danger of being

HORSE MEAT MORE HEALTH
FUL THAN BEEF OR PORK
Horse is Immune to Tuberculosis and
Cleanly in Food Habits—Meat
is Easily Digested and
Wholesome.
There have been several horse meat
markets legalized in this country and
there will be more. After all that
is said for and against eating horse
meat we are obliged to admit that
the objection is purely aesthetic.
The horse lives upon the cleanest
cereals and succulent grasses and will
die before he will drink stagnant
| water. The horse is the healthiest
of all food producing animals, bar
ring possibly the sheep. The horsel
is practically immune to tuberculosis,
while 9 percent of hogs and 4 percent
of cattle under federal inspection are
condemned as unfit for food. With
u mortality from tuberculosis thut
is decimating the human family, and
in this country where less than half
of the meat consumed is subject to
any sort of inspection, we are facing
a problem that must eventually be
met by drastic measures. Horse meat
is easily digestible, is wholesome and
safe.
In our large cities the high price
of beef, pork, and mutton has made
their consumption almost prohibitive
for the poor, while pneumonia, tu
berculosis, and other diseases stalk
in the wake of the insufficiently
nourished. We eat the cannibal whale
and shark, oysters and turtle with
nothing wasted, the bsains, livers,
lymph glands and intestines of cattle,
sheep and hogs. Consistency demands
that we do not object to the eating
of horse meat by those who want it,
in the interest of food conservation
and winning the war. —Geo. H. Glov
er, Colorado Agricultural College,
Fort Collins, Colorado.
“Liberty's Torch”
“Liberty’s Torch” is the name of the
pretty patriotic play to be presented
by the children at Chautauqua this
season. The supervisor who comes
here to look after that important part
of the work has had special training
and is experienced in this line of act
ivity. The children will see that every
body knows all about “Liberty 4 ! Torch”
before Chautauqua is over.
Real Singing in “The Climax.”
“Why doesn’t he play the violin?”
was a common remark during the pro
duction of “The Melting Pot” when the
young musician put the instrument to
his shoulder but never played a note.
Well, the play wasn’t written that way.
But, “The Climax” is different. It
requires a very fine pianist and a
very wonderful singer to properly take
the parts. The Homer Chautauquas
were particularly fortunate in securing
Miss Charlotte Leslay to take the part
of Adelina in “The Climax.” She
played the title role in “Pocahontas.”
She then was cast for her first prima
donna role in “Li’l Mose,” a part that
won her recognition from the firm of
Klaw ami Erlanger and she was en
gaged by them to appear in the all
star cast of Ben Hur. She has sung
in London and appeared in David Bel
asco’s “The Auctioneer.” She is em
inently fitted for the difficult role of
Adelina in "The Climax.”
German Treachery.
“When the soldiers reach a trench,
the Germans are ready to throw up
their hands and call ‘Kamerad’ while
they are sending men around to at
tack you from behind. They murdered
men sent to receive their surrender
and English soldiers swere found cruci
