An Affair Of
Interest
B r OSCAR COX
I bad been graduated from a medical
college and. unwilling to stem the cur
rent of competition in the practice of
luy profession in the east, concluded to
go to the far west My plan was to
begin at the very outskirts of civiliza
tion and gradually work inward as 1
gained in experience.
I bad traveled b.v rail as far as they
would take me. then by coach, and wa&
doing tbe rest of my journey on horse
back to tbe settlement where I pro
posed to locate, when i met a man also
mounted, wbo asked:
l "Be you a doctor?"
"1 am: but why did you suspect me
to be such?"
"I didn't. A lot of us is out huntin'
fer a sawbones, and we allowed we'd
ask every man we met: leastways,
every man as looked as if he mought
be iu a perfessional business."
"Well, what can I do for you?"
"Jim Tuwner and Cy Hardwick Is
goin' to have a shootin' match. They're
goiu' to do it up In grand style. That
is, they hain't goin* to shoot on sight,
but by regular agreement In all these
higb-mucky-muck affairs it seems they
must have a doctor along to tlx 'em up
If tbey don't get killed. I don't see any
use iu such a feller, 'cause in this here
territory when there's any shootin"
goin' on the man as don't draw tirst
usually gets killed This way. please."
The man had turned and was riding
beside me. when we reached a road
crossing the oue we were on. and he
led the way into it. It was a singular
case in which to begin a professional
career, but beginners can't be choosers
Besides. I had come west partly to see
B little of western life, so I made no
objection to going where my guide took
me. As we rode along I was curious
enough about the cause of the affair in
which I was to officiate professionally
to ask my conductor for the facts.
"Oh. it's about a ga! Turner he
seen her at a dance in a barn and tuk
It Into his head that he wanted her
powerful bad. Bard wick he seen her
ridin' behind a mule team, and he
wanted her too. They was both drink-
In' together at the Alhambra and told
tach other how much they wanted this
same gal. and they got into a dispute
about her. but before the.v came to a
draw a gambler from Georgia he said
It warn't respectable to fight about a
lady In a saloon nohow. He advised
'em if the lady was to be mixed up in
the matter to make an appointment
to do the shootin' in a decent way. So
they axed him how it had ought to
be done, and he offered to manage it
fer 'em. He allowed each man must
have a second, as he called it. and
there must be a surgeon on hand. So
a lot of us fellers who was cur'ous to
seip how one of "em fine feathered
shootin' matches was done said we
didn't mind helpin". So the Georgia
man sent us off to hunt up a surgeon "
I asked him 4 if the lady had shown
any preference to either of the dispu- -
tants. to which he replied:
"She couldn't very well show any
preference when she'd never seen
either of 'em. leastaways to know 'em
ag'in. Sartin she hndn't never said a
word to either of 'em."
"Ahd the.v are going to fight for a
woman who doesn't even know them?"
"Sartin! How would tbey decide the
matter without a tight?"
"What matter?"
"Waal, I dunno 'bout that. In this
yere territory we hain't so particular
what we fight about: it's the fightin'
that counts"
In due time we reached a hamlet
composed of four or five cabins, where
we halted, and a man came out.
"Have yo' got a su'geon?" he
drawled.
"This yere gentleman is one o' that
description."
"Wal, I don't know as he'll be any
use since that both Jim and Cy insist
on the kind of a deal they're used to—
that is. gtartin' in and emptyin' all
their gun barrels into each other. But.
since it's to be done accordin' to rule,
we must have a su'geon. Come in.
doctor, and take somep'n to git tbe
dust outen your throat."
I dismounted, and when I was told
that the principals were only waiting
for a surgeon to begin the fight. I de->
clined to "get the dust out of my
throat," since I might be needed, and
liquor would not improve any skill 1
might possess All were very much
astonished to find a man who ever re
fused to drink, but as my arrival had
been announced the parties concerned
were slipping out for the fracas. The
Georgia man placed them back to
back, told them that on signal they
Were to march forward till he sung
out "Time!" when they were to turn
and open fire. They were about to
start on their march of death when
the clatter of horse's hoofs was heard
coming at a gallop. Eyes were turned
In the direction of the sound, and
i 'when tbe comer was seen to be a wo
man all hands waited. She reined up
before the party.
"I hearn." she said, "that you fellers
was a-goin' to fight about me. I don't
see no use fightin* about a woman as
Is married to a mighty good man and
got two kids."
That broke up the duel. The wo
man took her two lovers home with
fcer. where she said her husband was
i Wal ting for them with a demijohn.
)- There was great disappointment
Among those who had expected to see a
fveai duel. 1 didn't practice long in that
country. It was « trifle too near to
i»ature for me.

Fairies —Good and Bad.
Deep down in their hearts, if the
truth were told, the majority of grown
ups have a strong regard for fairy
stories, and there are few of us with
so little imagination that we have not
a liking for these light, fantastic tales.
Just as there are all sorts and condi
tions of men. so are fairies diverse as
a class. The banshee is an Irish fairy,
and Scotland calls it a brownie. An
elf is a fairy of diminutive size, sup
posed to be fond of practical jokes.
Genii are eastern spirits, sometimes
good, but occasionally bad. A gnome
is a guardian of a coal mine or quarry
and a goblin a phantom spirit. Imp is
the Welsh spirit of mischief and jack
o'-lantern a bog or marsh fairy who
loves to mislead. Every one knows the
mermaid as the sea spirit, and naiads
are water nymphs. Oberon was king
of the fairies, and a pixie is a fairy of
Devon. Puck, full of fun. is Swedish,
and a sylph is a spirit of the air.
Houses Keep London Warm.
The temperature of the air in Lon
don is raised by the artificial sources
of heat existing in It no less than two
degrees on the annual mean above
that of its immediate vicinity. Mr.
Howard, in his work on climate, has
fully established this fact by a com
parison of a long series of observations
made at Plaistow. Stratford and Tot
tenham Green, all within five miles of
London, with those made at the apart
ments of the Royal society in London
and periodically recorded in "Philo
sophical In explanation
Mr. Howard refers to the heat in
duced by the populations (just as tbe
temperature of a hive of beest and
from the domestic fires and from the
foundries, breweries, steam engines
and other manufactories.—John Timb'g
"Curiosities of London."
Beadle and Minister.
A story is told about a west country
minister and his beadle, showing the
familiarity that used to'exist between
the minister and his man. The minis
ter and .loha had got into an argumeut.
and it became so hot that John was
like to lose his temper. The minister
naturally tried to throw oil on the trou
bled waters.
"Man. John," he said, 'it's a good
thing we are not all of one mind. For
example, had everybody been of my
mind everybody ' would have been
wanting my good wife Janet."
"Very true," replied John a little sur*
ly. "for if everybody had been in the
same mind as me naebody would hae
ta'en her ava. She may mak' a guid
enough minister's wife, but she would
hae made a puir show aside my Jean!"
—London Answers.
Superstitious Miners.
Coal strikes have sometimes been
threatened in England on curious
grounds. In 1874 a woman was em
ployed as a messenger at one ot the
collieries near Oswestry. As she com
menced her day's work very early, she
often met the miners on their way to
the pit. and as the men considered it a
bad omen to" meet a woman first thing
in the morning, trouble varose. By
threats and persuasion they tried to
get the offending female to give up tier
job, but, failing in this, they went in a
body to the manager and flatly refused
to go down until the woman had been
dismissed.
A Punning Match.
Father ruefully gazed on his la«t
shilling.
"Money has wings, and house rents
make it fly," be said.
"Yes," said his -fifteen-year-old son.
"and some bouses have wings, for I've
seen many a bouse fly "
"You're smarter thin your old dad,
maybe, my son* but 1 always thought
that no part of a bouse except the
chimney flue!"— London Tit-Bits.
It Reminded Him,
"The dew is falling." she said. "Let
ns go in before it settles."
"Yes," he answered, but a worried
look stole into his face. Little did she
dream that with him many dues were
falling and that he was utterly unable
to settle.—Judge.
There Were Others.
"John. I want the baby named Paul."
"My dear. Paul was a woman hater."
"Mercy! Did you think i meant that
Paul? I'm naming him for Paul

SELECT cans
Pistols In Parliament.
For a parallel scene to that which
was recently witnessed in the lobby of
the house of commons when a young
clergyman discharged a revolver - hap
pily without causing injury to any one
—one must go back 100 years, when
on May 11, 1812, John Bellingham as
sassinated Spencer Perceval, who was
then prime minister of England. Bel
lingham, who was a bankrupt of disor
dered brain and who had a grievance
the government, which had re
fused to interfere with the regular
process of the Russian law, under
which he had been arrested, went up
to Perceval as the premier passed
through the lobby, placed a pistol at
his breast and fired. Perceval walked
on one or two paces, faintly murmur
ed, "Oh, I am murdered!" and fell on
the floor. Bellingham was afterward
tried, convicted and hanged.
These are the only two occasions
that shots have been fired in the house
of commons.—London Answers.
Mosquito Hunting In Panama.
Looking from the train on the Pan
ama railroad the visitor occasionally
sees a mosquito hunter. This man is
•dressed much as any other hunter is
dressed and proceeds in much the same
manner. He is looking for mosquitoes,
and, Judging by his seraphic expres
sion, he has already bagged some.
The mosquito hunter is armed in this
manner: There is on his back a square
tin tank filled with a larvicide. This
larvicide is a mixture of carbolic acid,
rosin and caustic soda. For a weapon
the hunter carries a sprayer The
sprayer he holds ahead of him in the
mannfer of a sportsman holding a gun.
Water and moist ground are the
haunts of the-game, and. splashing
through swamps, along creeks and
through an occasional morass, the hunt
er treats all such ground with the lar
vicide, in which no mosquito can be
born.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Diplomatic Compliments.
Francis 1. Madero. president of Mex
ico, is a small man and somewhat sen
sitive on the subject. Not long ago,
says the Saturday Evening Post. Made
ro and his cabinet were photographed.
Abraham Gonzales, secretary of state,
is a very tall man and stout, and he
was required to stand next to Madero
when the picture was taken.
Madero lifted his eyes to the top of
the head of the great Gonzales, observ
ed the difference in stature and cough
ed slightly. Then he said. "1 feel that
my size will not show to advantage un
less we are seated."
"Your excellency." replied Don Abra
ham. "if you could only stand on your
wisdom we should all be dwarfs."
"Well said," Madero returned, "pro
vided you did not stand on your cour
tesy at the same time."
* Real Gems Made by Science.
There recently appeared in Parte
some diamonds having all the ear
marks of the genuine article, and they
were offered to a number of dealers at
very attractive prices. Certain rigid
tests were applied by experts engaged
in the trade, with the result that they
were proved to be slightly different
from natural stones. The diamonds
were believed to be manufactured by
a synthetic process, but by the experts
who examined them they were claimed
to be genuine. From this, it seems,
the secret of making diamonds is rap
idly being solved, and it will not be
long until this new product of the
electric furnace will take its place
with synthetic rubies, sapphires and
other manufactured gems which are
now sold in the open market.—Leslie's.
Coloring Fishes.
Flowers can be Artificially colored,
we know, with more or less success
by chemical agency. Animals general
ly escape counterfeiting, with few ex
ceptions. The latest in counterfeiting
is the carp. In Sicily It is said that
by Introducing into the water chalk,
Iron and a little peat colors will be im
parted to the carp. After treatment
in a bath of these concomitants for a
fortnight the fish Is given another
chemically prepared bath Into which
is Introduced iron and tan. By in
creasing or diminishing the quantities
the color can be either accentuated or
diminished. The process is somewhat
hazardous, but we learn from Paris
contemporary that in the end an ap
parently new species of ornamental
fish is produced, which commands a
high price.—London Globe.
Bringing the Sea to Rome.
Projects for making Rome a seaport
have been discussed for years past.
One of these is to lay out a seaport of a
thirty-five foot depth near Castel Fu
saro, formed by running tfao jetties
out into the sea for some distance, as
at the port of Ymuiden, Holland. From
the port will lead a ship canal 15
miles long and 200 feet wide and 27
feet deep. At Rome adequate shipping
accommodations will be laid out in the
river below the city, and this will be
connected with the navigable part of
the Tiber by a system of locks. It will
cost about $15,000,000 to carry out the
project

In Borneo the bride and groom sit on

ROAD BUILDING IN OHIO.
"Boosters" Successful In Getting Leg
islature to Pass Bills.
The Ohio Good Roads federation has
won part of the fight which it started
in January, when it proposed the fol
lowing legislative plans:
First.—The reorganization of the high
way department and creation of the bu
reaus of construction, maintenance and
repair and bridges.
Second.—State supervision of all roads
constructed in whole or in part by state
aid money.
Third.—The perpetual maintenance of
state aid roads by the highway depart
ment.
Fourth.—The inauguration of the lnter
county system of roads connecting Impor
tant commercial centers in the state and
making all necessary surveys and esti
mates for the same.
Fifth.—A levy of one-half mill on the
taxable property of the state to create a
fund available in 1913 to construct the
lnter-county system.
All of the above, with the exception
of the latter, are provided for in senate
bill 165 by Senator McGuire, which is
now a law.
The road enthusiasts will now go
forth with renewed energy in a state
wide campaign for the proper con
struction and maintenance of roads,
for the economical expenditure of all
moneys appropriated for road purposes,
and will present to the constitutional
convention which will assemble next
January a plan to raise money neces
sary to complete the lnter-county sys
tem. which plan will equitably distrib
ute the cost of the same on all the tax-,
payers of the state.
Cart System For County Pikes.
The cart system of taking care of
the roads in Knox county. Tenn., will
first be tried upon the Tazewell and
Jacksboro pikes, according to the ac
tion of the Knox county road commis
sion at a recent meeting. If It works
successfully it will be placed on other

Jim TreVOrs
Transformation
A Story For Memorial Day
By ARCHIBALD fIfeCKER
"I must put a Aug ou Jim Trevors
*rave." said a civil war Veteran on
Memorial day wheb half a dozen gray
beards were decohlting thfe graves of
their fallen comrades. "Jitii and I en
listed on the saiiie d&y and went
through the fracas in thfc same regi
ment. Jim was a good soldier, a good
fellow and a pet of the petticoats. He
was captured at tiifc batlit* of Chicka
mauga and taken Ihto (tfeorgia. where
he was kept until we advanced with
Sherman's army tt> Atlanta. About
the time we were passing his way ne
managed to escape and joined us. 1
remember well when he came into
camp dressed up fit to kill.
" Hello. Jim,' 1 said. '1 thought you
was dead.'
" 'No: 1 got taken in by the Johnnies.
I'll tell you how it was." said he. and
he did.
"When he got away, which he did by
burrowin' under 8 wail, he was a
mighty sick lookin' chap. His clothes
was tattered and tdfrn. and « good deal
of the dirt that he'd crawled through
was stickin' to 'inl He was covered
with lice, and his hair hadn't been
combed siuce he was captured. In the
mornin' he found himself In a wood
along one side o' Which was a wall and
on the other side of thi» wall was a
plantation, or. rather, the garden ad
joinin the plantatiou bobse. Jim was
so hungry that he was ready to risk
most anything to pet his feetb on a
hunk' o' corn pone or sotnepin like
that, so he jumped the wall and was
makin' across the garden for the uig
ger quarters wlieh a side door of the
house opened and ;i yoiiilg girl and a
Confederate officer, stepped out .lim
darted up a tree which Jie happened
to be near
"The couple came saunterin* along,
the man talkin* for ail he was wo'th
about somepin. the girl lis eiiin' When
they get under the tree where Jim was
hidin' chey sat down on a bench.
The feller was makin" love to the girl
on the gallop. He said he'd riddeu
over from camp to ask her to marry
him for the last time, for General Sher
man was comin' and his t4>mmand had
been ordered eastward to a more fa
vorable point to make a stand She
said before she'd marry a Confederate
she'd take up with ihe worst lookiu'
Yank in tbe'Fedefal arniy
"Jim felt very slick at this, consld
erin' that so far as clothes, dirt, ver
min and general appearance went he
would make a good candidate for the
girl's preference. But frhat pleased
him especially just then was fiudin'
out that he'd struck the home of Union
sympathizers. What the girl said made
the Confederate mad. and he went off
in a huff.
"The girl sat where she was. pokin'
the dirt with her parasol, evidently
feelin' sort o' stirred up over the mat
ter. Jim was afraid to let her know
he was up in the tree above her for
fear he'd shock her. so he concluded
he'd wait till she'd gone back to the
house before he applied for food and
shelter. But'bad luck would have It—
a bird settled on one of the branches
and began to twitter and chirp. Jim
wanted to ring the little thing's neck.
The bird kept on twitterin', and pres
ently the girl looked up. When she
saw Jim she gave a shriek and would
have run into the house if she hadn't
been paralyzed with fear; Jim dropped
down in front of her She gave him
one look and went into, a dead faint.
Jim couldn't blame her, for he was the
measliest lookin' cub in Georgia.
"When she came to herself she
found Jim on his knees before her
lookin' like a scarecrow, and she faint
ed again. When she got over that she
began to realize that the scarecrow
hadn't hurt her. and she got used to
lookin' at him.
" 'You ought not to be so shocked at
me seein' you told the gentleman that
before you'd marry a Confederate
you'd take up with the worst lookin
Yank in the Federal army.
"Jim had a funny way with him,
and when he said this the girl couldn't
help laughln' She asked him where
he had come from, and Jim told her
all about himself. Then she took him
to the house, but she must have been
still uncertain about him. for she wait
ed for him to go fust. Jim was mighty
polite about it. for his shirt tall was
hangin' out of the seat of his britches—
that Is. the place where the seat ought
to have been. But the girl wouldn't
give in. and Jim had to go fust, walk
In' as If he knew what he was show
in', and every now -and then he beard
a giggle.
"Jim was given a bath, a fine tooth
comb, a suit of the girl's brother's
clothes and a bang up meal. When
he came downstairs all done up fine
the girl looked at him with her eyes
wide open and asked him If he was
sure he was the scarecrow that had
dropped down before her In the gar
ding. Jim said he didn't think he
*as—that feller must a flown out the
winder.
"Well. Jim was treated tine, sleepln
In a downy bed and given the best
there was In the house to eat till we
passed the plantation, when he came
sailln in. lookin' as if he was the gov
ernor of the state."
"Did he niarrv the girl?"
"No. Though she was really a Un
ion girl, she was play in the Confeder
ate she'd turned down Jim went
back to Georgia after the war and
found her married to him. Give me
tnat flag and some flowers."
