THE DUELS FOUGHT
BY PRESIDENTS.
Jackson Fought Often and Killed
His Man.
FIRST WITH COLONEL AVERY.
Avery Denounced Juckson for n .Joko In
Open Court-Lincoln Onco Accepted*
Challenge, Hut Uis Iteudy Wit Torn cd
the Affiiii' Into u Fnrco and tlm Proposed
Duel Was Never Pouglit Pamoua Per
soiuil laicountors.
An artlclo in the Junior Munsey by
John R. Spears describes eomo famous
American duels. Hie combats between
Alexander Hamilton and Auron Burr,
Commodore Stephen1 Decutur and Com?
modore James Barron, Commodore Perry
und Captain John Heath, Henry Cloy
and John Randolph, Jonathan Cllley and
William J. Graves. Gen. Armistead T.
Mason und John McCarthy are all de?
scribed by Mr. Spears, but the most In?
teresting narratives are those of the
duels of Presidents Jackson and Lincoln,
quoted below:
In ills introduction Mr. Spear says:
"Dueling has had a marked Influence
upon the history of this nation, although
It was nevnr held In the same esteem
that It once received In Europe. Per?
haps the most rcmurkunio thing about
American duels was their bloodthirsty
character. The tneelngs were not con?
ventional affairs, for offener than not
their ending was fatal. This probably
dlil much to bring the practice into dis?
repute,
"Prom Andrew Jackson, the most fa?
mous American duelist, to Abraham Lin?
coln, who once accepted a challenge to
fight a duel which his ready Wit turned
Into a farce, nearly all these personal
combats hnj'e grown oui of politics. A
notable exception was what have been
called the Mediterranean duels, wherein
young American naval officers fought
many British officers for tho honor of
the Hag.
JACKSON'S DUELS.
"Of those Americans who have played
? parts on what was called the 'Held nl
honor' Andrew Jackson must come first,
because no man of cuunl fame as a citl
lien fought so many duels ns he. It may
be suld thnt he begun his public career
by fighting a duel over a well-smoked
piece of Tennessee bacon.
"The future President of the United
Stales was then?II was In August, 1"SS?a
lawyer who had reached the mature age
Of 21. He was opposed In a cuse by Col.
Walghtsllll Avery. Jackson thought to
have a little backwoods fun and deftly
removed from Avery'a saddlebags 'Ba?
con's Abridgements.' a standard work,
to which he Invariably referred in court,
and substituted a piece of Tennessee
bacon for the book. Avery unrolled the
chunk of meat In the courthouse in
Jonesboro, Tenn.. greatly to the wonder
and amusement of the spectators.
"Instead of Joining In the laughter.
Col. Avery turned on Jackson and fero?
ciously denounced him. Jackson Imme?
diately tore a fly leaf from the hack of a
law book und wrote n challenge, with a
?P. S.' that said: 'This evening after
court adjourned.'
"Ho undoubtedly meant to write 'has
adjourned,' but he was too angry to be
accurate. He wus also too angry to
Shoot straight when tho Colonel met him
that evening after sunset in u rnvlnc be?
hind the courthouse, for he missed his
man. Jackson having also escaped un?
hurt, the trouble was smoothed over by
the seconds,
"In 1S?1 Jackson called out Governor
John Sevler, of Tennessee, but the meet?
ing Was what n veracious chronicler
Culled a brawl instead of a duel?plenty
of talk nnd no bloodshed.
"Jackson's third duel was fought in
1806, and It was this affair that places
him among the most notnhle American
duelists. Jackson was living at the Her?
mitage nn Neely's Bend of the Cumber?
land river, and had some trouble wllh
a neighbor named Krwln over a horse
race In which both were interested.
Erwin did not choose to light, bill his
son-in-law, Charles Hlckerson. determin?
ed to take up the affront. He went to
Nalehoz, Miss., and for six months pass?
ed his days in practicing with a pistol.
Then he wrote it letter to Jackson, hi
which, -among other exasperating
things, Dlckcrson mentioned the nnine
of .Mrs. Jackson. This immediately call?
ed forth a challenge, of which General
Thomas ('verton was the bearer. Jack?
son's letter of Instructions ended with
these words: 'Accent no apology; noth?
ing but his blood will satisfy mi1.'
"They fought on May 30, 1.S0G, at Har?
rison's Mills, Logan county, Kentucky.
Dlckcrson, who was us euger for blood
as was Jackson and quite as confident of
Shedding It. offered to wager $5n!) that he
would strike the second from the top In
a row of brnss buttons that Gen. Jack?
son wort> on his roat. .luckson heard of
the offer nnd ImmtrHntriy d
a remarkable course of action?to stand
In his place ' and let Dlckerson shoot
first.
"Dlckerson won the toss for position.
General Overtoil gave the word and
Dlckerson fired. The spectator's saw a
I?uff of dust knocked from Jackson's coat
>y Dlckerson's well aimed bullet, but.
Jackson did not fall, nnd Dlckerson was
sq much astonished thnt he halt stag?
gered, half stepped away. Jackson, with
Ills eyebrows drawn down, placed his
left arm firmly across his breast, while
General Overtoil shouted to Dlckerson,
'Back to your place, sir.'
"Dlckerson came back with blanched
face nnd averted eyes. Jackson raised
his pistol, pulled the- trigger nnd gave
Dlckerson a mortal wound.
"When Overtoil came to see how badly
Jackson wus hurt he found that Dicker
son had hit the button ho had proposed
to hit nnd It had turned tho bullet aside,
as Jackson hud believed it. would. The
force of'the blow broke two of Jackson's
ribs.
"In later years (during the Florida
war). General Jackson challenged Gen?
eral Scott, but Bcott refused to fight a
duel. Ho said no duel was necossary to
prove the courage of elthor General Jack?
son or himself,and that his conscience
would not permit him to engage In any
such affair.
LINCOLN WENT OUT."
"It come-jf with a shock when one first
hears that the kindly, patient. Joke-lov?
ing Lincoln went out. onco upon a time,
to .light a duel. And It Is all the more
romurkablo that ho should have done so
when It is remembered that he was a
citizen of Illinois at tho time. For Illi?
nois people had never thought well of
such doings. In fact, they hud not
fought 'a duel since 1820, when a man
named Bennett was hanged for killing
another named Stewart in a duel.
"One .James Shields, 'a man of Inr-dl
nnte vanity,' and with an 'extremely
sensitive nature' as well, was elected
Auditor of the Stnte on the Democratic)
ticket. The turkey-rock ways of the lit?
tle man made him the subject of endless
ridicule on the part of the Whigs. Lin?
coln published a letter that wan ostensi?
bly v. ft ten from "Lost Townships"?a
letter that rolled Shields exceedingly,
although It was manifestly written for
pnllclca! effect. It was followed by an?
other, in much the same vein, written
by Mary Todd, Lincoln's sweetheart.
Then Shields called In a friend to hunt
out Lincoln and dcniund an explanation
and retraction.
"The correspondence nnd detailed ac?
counts written by the participants show
that Shields' second was Intent on scar?
ing Lincoln into an abject apology, but
ho found that he was snapping at the
heels of the wrong mastiff.
"It Is plain that Lincoln did not ap?
prove-of such a duel, but under the cir?
cumstances he was not going to bo bul?
lied by an opponent like Shields. Very
likely, tho fact that Mary Todd was. in
a way, Involved In tho controversy made
him fuel obliged to fight, If a fight was
demanded. Accordingly, as Mr. Shields I
did insuit, Lincoln'accepted the challenge, ,
and hero ? *ro> the terms as he wrote
them:
" "First. Weapons?Cavalry broad?
swords of the largest size, precisely equal

"The meeting place was 'within threo
miles of Alton, on the opposite side of
the river,' and the time 6 o'clock in the
afternoon of Thursday, September 22.
1812. The two parties went to tho ap?
pointed place, which Mr. Lincoln said
had been most "appropriately selected."
being within sight or i the penitentiary,
whereat there was a laugh In spite of the
seeming gravity of the occasion. When
Shields saw the amused unconcern of the
gaunt Lincoln, and then "hefted" one of
tho broadswords, he turned a listening
car to the common friends who arrived
just then to propose an amicable adjust*
mvnt.
"I did not Intend to hurt Shields unless
C did so clearly in self-defense," sold
Lincoln afterward. "If It had been ne?
cessary. 1 could have split him from the
crown of his head to the end of his back?
bone."
There comes a time to most women
when they must face the future of wife
hood and motherhood. What that future
has iu store for them, depends largely
upou themselves. To a healthy woman
the obligations
and cousequeuces
of tnnrriage are a
lasting happiness.
To a woman suf?
fering from irreg?
ularity or other
ailments of the
sex, marriage may
prove a mockery
and motherhood
a misery. Where
such irregularity
exists Dr. l'icrce's
Favorite Prescrip?
tion can be used
with the assurance
that health will
speedily be re?
stored. It is the
most reliable med?
icine known to
medical science
for the cure of
diseases which af?
fect the delicate
womanly organs.
"Favorite Pre?
scription " is a non-alcoholic medicine
and is also free from opium cocaiue and
other narcotics.
"At nn earlv singe of mnrrird life," writes Mrs.
Flora Arn. of Dallas. Jackson Co.. Mo., " I was
greatly bothered with, painful periods, also a
troublesome drain which rendered me very weak
and unfit for work of any kind. I became so
thin there was nothing left of me but skin and
bone. My husband became alarmed and gut
me n botile of ' Favorite Prescription.* After
he saw the wonderful effects of thai one he got
me two ttiorc. nnd after I used those up there
was no more pain, ami I began to gain in flesh
very rapidly. I owe nil praise to Dr. Pierce and
his wonderful curative medicines."
