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.
Ho aarurally chose ths latter, sad. as
the aaytag goes, they lived happily
Friendly Wagers Between Husband
and Wife Bsrvt to Quenoh Fre
quent Dangerous Quarrels. -
Hero la a plan by which a great many
family quarrels have been averted for
!a certain couple. 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. Then one or
the other pays when the decision la
reached. The young woman has an la-
come of her own, ao the arrangement
is a falr-ooe. which It might hardly be
were she compelled to take her hus-
.bead's own money to pay fer bla dr

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.

Rata Sworn Enemies of Birds.
The number of tiseful insect-eating
birds nesting on the ground or In low
bushes which fall victims to rata la ex
tremely large and la one of the many
klqds of injury done by these perni-
clous affimals which cannot be comput
ed, B. W. Nelson writes in the Nation
al Geographic Magazine. Probably
'taw frequenters of the countryside
have returned to look into a bird's neat
to observe Its condition without many
times finding It destroyed and frag
ments of egg sheila lying about. Un
questionably a large percentage of
•och nests locatsd In ths neighborhood
Sf buildings have been raided by rata.
On one of the small Danish islands
It has been authentically feCorded that
the progeny of a single pair of rata,
which escaped from captivity, In twa
years exterminated a great colony of
birds for which the Island has beta
The Thin People.
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. The
stomach Is then no longer overbur
dened or overworked, and the diges
tion Is ao much more perfect and the
. health ao Improved that a gain In
weight results naturally.
