HAD TO FIGHT DUEL OR WED TO SETTLE FAMILY ARGUMENT Young Man Surprised to Rooelve Chal lenge, But More Surprised to Find Foe a Woman., 1 % William Kenrick, a Berkshire gentle man of a hundred years ago, left hie property, which was considerable, to an only daughter. This young lady had a mind of her own and, finding none of her suitors to her liking, sim ply determined to wait until the right gentleman should come along. It so happened that one day she at tended a wedding at Reading, an ex change relates, where she met a young gentleman named Benjamin Child. He was a poor attorney. With this hand some young man the younger lady fell rlolently In love, but still she was cau tious. She reasoned with herself for several days, trying to shake herself free of the sudden passion, but all In vain. Then, feellpg that something must be done, but unable, from confu sion of mind, to dsvlss a proper course, •be took the extraordinary step of sending ths young man a letter de manding satisfaction for alleged In juries. She appointed a time and place for the hostile meeting. Mr. Child waa much surprised, and quits at a loss to cooed vs who tbo challenger could bo. By tbo a dries of a friend, ho decided to go to ths dueling pises. Hero be was asst by ths young woman, who, much to his surprlso. told him bo would havo to fight her or marry her.

They used to quar rel all the time. { Before, the wife would say: { > “My dear, you'll make a mistake tf you do to and ao." ; And the husband would reply: “My darling, you are altogether too fussy. I know my business. Kindly let me alone, will you?*,' j Then would ensue a row of fearful dimensions* that sometimes would shake the bouse, startle the servants and scandalIxe the neighborhood. J But now they do differently. When they disagree they do It thus: j "Well, dear, If you think you're right suppose you back your opinion? If Fa 'wrong ril give yoa half a doien pairs of gloves.** If the feels pretty confident she backs her opinion with a box of cigars, and the agreement Is carefully signed by both and locked up.

The bonds of true friendship must be cosy sad Its demands must be for something real and vital. The woman who calls on you perpetually because she has takes a sudden fancy to you Is a blind and aelflsh egotist. In a miff! way. Her calls may Interrupt your work and bore you Intently, but If you are a polite and courteous person you bear with her until she directs her at tention elsewhere. She will probably tell the new friend that you are “very unresponsive.’* Some women clutch at every new acquaintance and then com plain that they have so few friends. The reason Is that friendship Is not built dn trlvlaltles and whims, but by giving such valuable things as true con sideration, real Interest and manifest ing a decent reserve as to the other person's confidence and nonconfldlngs. —Woman's Home Companion. beftsf grades sf wtag tat It MX cw ha tea by twelve - I rixiit BARNWELL S.

Un questionably a large percentage of •och nests locatsd In ths neighborhood Sf buildings have been raided by rata.

Overeating Is a common cause of emaciation, paradoxical as this state ment may seem. Many of our thin nest neighbors are the biggest eaters of thfh community, Physical Culture Magazine says. It Is an old-fashioned saying that these people “eat so much that It makes them .thin to carry It around.** In any case, It Is not a ques tion of the amount of food one swal lows, but A question of how much Is digested and assimilated. Many par sons will gain in weight upon discon tinuing the three-meal plan and adopt ing the plan of two meals per day.
