. failed to recognize blm In the padded
l monster that now staggered clumsily Into
[ tho room, supported on eaoh aide by hla
, aaeond and sword bearer. The thick armor
i of leather and wadding with whipb bo was
bolstered entirely protected bis body and
. limits. Hi# neck was rigidly incased in
. bigb, thick oollar of silk and whipcord,
> and his eyea were protected by Iron goggles
as large aa small teacups, from which
a strap passed round the ears to be buokled
at the back of tbo head. His swond was
! somewhat similarly equipped, and in addition
wore a leather cap with a strong
i Iron peak. The other principal presently
enteral the room and took up bis position
at one hword's length from Zimmerman.
He was closely followed by the umpire or
nnparteiischar. This parsonage waa a
chronic medical student of ten years'
standing?a mass of genial rotundity,
with a fat, amorphous face Id which fea|
tores (teemed a superfluity. He waa duly
> qualified for bis responsible position by
an unlimited capacity for bear and the
glorious faot that he had never passed an
examination. Enthroned on an armchair
a little In front of tbo other spectators, be
divided his time pretty equally between a
bugo mug of Muncbener and a long plpa
of which the painted china bowl rested on
the ground. He now proclaimed "Silentlum!"
and proceeded to announce the

?long, nasty looking blades, sharp as m

carefully wiped with disinfecting lotion
and handed to the combatants. The seconds
took up tbeir position behind and to
the left of their respective men, and gave
the word of command in the following traditional
form:
"Anf die Mensur bindot die Klingen!"
(Cross blades for tht duel!)
"Gebunden sindl" (Crossed they are!)
"Los!" (Go!)
Tha swords clash to pother in the preliminary
stroke. Then ensues a brief ball

A highly important feature of Um

bad roads have upon the local market* i
and their sources of supply, says the 1
New York Tribune. In all the cities aod 1
large towns of the state there is a de- 1
mand for farm products and for the t
bulkier and heavier products, such as hay ,
and straw and grain. z
In many cases the surrounding coon- i
try is quite eapable of supplying that c
demand; in all oases it should do so as a
far as possible; in most cases it does not c
Instead, supplies are brought in by rail c
or canal from far away, perhaps from 1
other states; while at the same time,
within a few miles of the market thus J
supplied, an farms that hare been 1

and so farming here no longer pays. <

It is not that farms in the east are no <

Henry Watterson takes issue with a *
