MAN VERSUS WOMAN.
Mr. Gordou "Watts had reached that
"time of life "when a man becomes a kind
-ekvSlking sportsman's almanac. There
-jwas very iitlls.ni the way of ''record
: times" and "record distances" that Mr.

of each day in a solicitor's office, hut
this was sheer good nature, for it is im
possible to imagine any subject that in
terested him less than law, aud it was
only in deference to the wishes of his
family-that he sat on an office stool
JIis real life began when he donned box
ing gloves, sat across his machino or
"was stroking, his club four.
Mr. "Watts was at the height cf his
masculine prejudice. When, the man
versus woman subject came up for dis
cussion, ho had oue argument. "Can
anybody tell me of one single record
which is held by a woman except, of
course, -talking?" ho would, say.
Having put this subtle question, he
would replace his pipe in his mouth
with the satisfied air of a man who has
disposed of a troublesome matter and
declines to be bothered with any further
argument. While the record for every
thing was held by "man" Mr. Watts
failed to see how there could be a doubt
as to which was the superior sex.
Consequently it was a cause of great
annovance to. him when one Saturday
afternoon a lady sprang into the smok
iuir apartment in which he reclined on
his way to Teddiugtou.
"This is smoking," said Mr, Watts
"I'm very sorry," said the girl, who
had evidently been running for the
3W V IsJ-WAY
train, for she was somewhat out of
breath. "It can't be helped. I had no
time to pick and choose."
The train w:is an express from Barnes
to Teddiugtou, and any ordinary man
would have been rather pleased at a
tete-a-tete with a nice looking girl who
showed no signs of boiug prudishly re
served. Not so 2Ur. Watts. It was an
intrusion, an invasion, of his privileges
as a man. The proper place for a worn
an is anvwherc vou like except in a
smoking carriage.
"Do vou wish me to put out my
' pipe?" he inquired in a tone of sarcasm
."Not- at- .til;" she r.fcL "In fact :
think I will smoke a cigarette myself
She produced a dainty cigarette case,
and, having lighted up, becumo absorb
ed in the fashion plate of a ladies' pa
per. Mr. Watts returned to his study of
Victor Wild's pedigree with a bitter
scowl on his face.
- She was really a charming little
creature in her whito blouse and tan
colored belt and gloves. If ho had seiz
ed his opportunity and tried to strike
up an impromptu flirtation it would
have been excusable, but ho wjis above
that kind of uousenc.
"Here we are at last," she said as
the train drew up at Teddiugtou. "I
hope I have not annoyed yon very much
by sitting in the same carriage."
Now, as everybody knows, the exact
force of a remark depends entirely on
the tone of voice. There was something
very provoking in the way sho spoke
a kind of light, semimalicious satire.
"Not at all," ho said gruffly. "De
lighted to have your company. It is
quite the usual thing for ladies to use
smoking carriages."
It was rather rude, but he was irri
tated. No man likes to bo laughed itc
hv a woman, especially when ho d
f J -
serves it.
"Mr. Woftc drvJin nwn- vvitli irlriniK
dimiitr to tho boathou.se. where h'or
skiff was harbored, and, . having over
hauled it with the air of an authority,
paddled leisurely up stream.
Half an hour later he found himself
alongside the girl ho had met in the
train. He gave her "turnout" a critical
look and was forced to admit it was de
cidedly neat She honored him with a
friendly little nod of recognition, to
which he responded by lifting his cap
very slightly indeed.
Having taken in all the points of her
craft and noticed that "she sculled rather
prettily, he stretched his back with the
idea of passing her.
It was here, that a trifling surprise
was in store for Mr. Watts. It may be
that the look ho bestowed on ljer and
her boat was ono of fancied superiority
and that she resented it, for as ho quick
ened his pace sho -quickened hers and
kept alongsida
"Beautiful weather for the time of
tho year, isn't it?" she said with that
aggravating smile on her lips.
"Lovely," he said shortly and set to
work seriously to get some pace on the
boat, reflecting that the sooner he got
clear of this "confounded girl" the bet
ter. "Would you liko to race?" she said
cheerily.
"Just as you like," he growled.
It was early in the season and the
river was almost deserted. Mr. Watts
set his teeth and did his best After a
few minutes he glanced to the right
The lady's boat was no longer pn a lev
el. Sho led by about half a Jengfj).' Eres
jqjtly she flras clear pf hjm.
"Haye you had enough?'' she called
out
"No!" he roared.
Five minutes later .he .was by her
side. At first he thought, he had worn
her down, but a glance at her face told
him he was wrong. She was almost as
cool and fresh as when they started.
"Ithiuk yon will have to consider
yourself beaten," she said provokingly.
"To keep that up any longer when you
are evidently not in condition would bo
absurd." t
"Don't trouble about me," he said
angrily. "I know I haven't got your
pace, but at least I'll keep going as
: Ims" '
"Nonsense," she answered. "You
"couldn't keep it up another half mila
. For one thing, you haven't had the
, fright sort of coaching. "
This was rather too much for a man
who considered hiniEclf a judge of form,
but it was true. Ee was a very fairly
good oarsman, with plenty of strength
and pluck, but sho had all the finish of
a varsity crack, learned probably from
a brother.
"Well, we won't argue about it," he
said rather sulkily. "You have beaten
me, so there's an end of it. "
"You dig the water too deep and
don't get forward enough," she. con
tinued, with the aggravating smilo still
on her lips. "But I shall land here.
Goodby."
Sho turned her boat toward tho rhore
and Mr. Watts continued his way up
stream, an angry and humiliated man.
A train was waiting in the station as
he approached, and he ran for it, jump?
ing into the first carriage that caught
his eye. It was not until ho had shut
the door and the train had left the plat
form that he saw what he had dona
He had got into a compartment re
served for ladies, and in the corner of
it sat the girl in tho white blouse.
"I beg your pardon," he muttered;
"didn't notice it was a ladies' car
riage," "Oh, it doesn't; matter," sho said,
showing a row of white, merciless teeth
as sho smiled. "I don't require a car
riage all to myself."
There was the slightest possible stress
on the "I," which made him wince.
Evidently she was not going to spare
him.
"How far did you get?" she inquired.
He named tho spot where ho had
turned back.
"You didn't go far.. I hope our littlo
race didn't take it; out of you too much. "
This was said with an air of inno
cence, which it was impossible to take
offense at openly, but it was none tho
lass irritating.
She continued her crushing process
until the train reached Barnes by crow
ing over him about the race, Jhe
"crowing" was done very delicately
and sweetly, but it was "crowing"
nevertheless.
She discussed "form"
and "style,"
toldhim ho depended, too
much on tho strength of his arms and
not sufficiently on his weight, and alto
gether made him feel more like a cock
ney novice than a racing man.
To do Mr. Watts justice, he submit
ted to it fairly well.
Three weeks later they met again un
der rather odd circumstances, and this
time Mr. Watts had his chance of .scor
ing. He had been paddling about on tho
river for an hour or two when ho felt a
splash of rain. There was evidently
going to be a heavy downpour. It hap
pened that he was at a part where there
was not a scrap of shelter on either
bank for a mile or two except at one
place where a huge elm hung over the
water and provided one of nature's um
brellas. Ho had scarcely reached it when he
heard the swish of oars, and, looking
through the leaves, he saw the girl in a
white blouso coming down stream at
racing speed. A gleam of triumph shot
.into his eyes. Sho was making for the
same tree, but there was only room for
one boat, and he clearly had the right
"cf-pTitjr possession.-
Sho slowed down and backed water
skillfully mitil she caught sight of him,
safely sheltered under the thick leaves.
A look of vexation camo into" her eyes.
"ion must make room for me some
how," sho said crossly.
"Come along, then," he said, seizing
a branch of the tree and casing his boat
out into the stream. She paddled into
the shelter.
"What are you going to do now?"
she asked in a doubtful tone.
"I shall make tho best ot my way
back to Teddiugtou."
"You'll get wet through," she said
"I must chance that," ho said. '
owe vou a good turu for tho nice way
vou treated me-when wo raced the other
day."
If Mr. Watts had thought for a week
he could not have hit on a better way
of humiliating her. She was a thorough
little sportswoman and felt the satire
keenly. To treat her with courtesy after
what had happened made her feel very
much smaller than a vulgar revenge
would have done.

A Loudon music hall singer, having
recovered damages in a suit for libel
against a newspaper which criticised
her, a London weekly says: "If journal
ists have any esprit de corps, or, indeed,
spirit of any kind, they will neglect to
notice any performers who refuse to ac
cept adverse criticism an$ absolutely to
ignore them. If we dp pot stand togeth
er in these matters, the press may as well
at once cease to pretend to 'express its
unbiased judgment ou anything or any
body. We shall be at the mercy of any
artist' who objects to anything but ser
vile adulation." That seems to be as
queer a view to take of the duties of
the theatrical critic as that of the per
former who sued for libel or the jurors
who gave her damages. As Stephen
Blackpool remarked, "It's a' a mud

A STREETLESS TOWN.
it
Is Also UglittiSs, Carless, Slayorless,
Park! ess nnd All but Houseless.
The most remarkable town in Ken
tucky lies in Fayetto county and is
known as Granard.
The town site consists of 52) acres
lying adjacent to the city limits of the
city of Lexington on the north. Every
foot of tho ground is owned by Denuis
Mulligan, who camo to this country
more than CO years ago and had been
in business until last summer in the
Eame house, on tho corner of Lime
stone and Vine streets, for 55 years as
a grocer. He amassed a large fortune
in the business and many years ago
bought from old Tommy McCoy the
farm which now forms tho town of
Granard.
Granard has no streets, no alleys, no
waterworks, no electric or other lights,
no street cars, no fire department,- no
mayor, no policemen, no aldermen or
couucilmeu, no trustees or any kind of
town officers, no lots, park3 or any of
those lhiug3 which are usually found
in a town. But Grauard is a town, as
tho general statutes of Kentucky show
that itwaB incorporated about 12 years
ago by Dennis Mulligan, James H.
ilulligau, Lonis H. Mulligan, James
J. Mulligan and-Paul Conlon. The last
named incorporator, who was a warm
friend of the Mulligans, died, several
years ago. James H. Mulligan js the
well known Judge Mulligan, who has
-been a conspicuous member of tho Ken
tucky legislature, was consul-general to
Samoa under President Cleveland and
is now -an agen.t cf the treasury depart
ment. He is the only child cf Dennis
Mulligan. Louis H. Mulligan, a son of
tho judge, is a youig physician. 'James
J. Mulligan is a yonuger son of the
judge, and he'is with his father in a
clerical placa
Nobody ever knew tho exact reason
for the incorporation cf- this town,
which has existed only cn pai er'-for a
decade. It is stated by eld inhabitants
that at about the time Granard waa in
corporated there was a movement on
foot to extend tho city limits cf Lexing
ton, which, had the plan been accom
plished, would havo put" Dennis Mulli
gan to the necessity of paying city taxes
on the larger part of the farm he had
bought from old man McCoy. Whether
or not this is true cannot be learned
now. The city limits of Lexington havo
not been extended, so that the question
of the elder Mulligan paying city taxes
on the old farm has never been raised.
Mr. Mulligan is a remarkable man.
He came here a poor boy about 1832.
He went to work in a grocery store and
by diligence and economy soon accumu
lated enough mcney to begin 'business
for himself. His grocery was always
headquarters for the hundreds of his
fellow countrymen who had settled in
this city and vicinity and were engaged
largely in building central Kentucky's
magnificent system of highways. They
did nearly all their trading with Mul
ligan, and thus it was that ho rapidly
accumulated money. Ho invested the
earnings of his business in real estate,
and when the historic Maxwell Springs
property was offered for sale be bought
it and built t hereon the palatial subur
ban home, Maxwell Place, where his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Judge Mulligan,
entertains lavishly, and where some of
the most distinguished politicians and
public men of Kentucky have assembled.
Dennis Mulligan was for many years
a member of Lexington's common coun
cil and afterward lan for mayor. He
was always a great frieud of Lexington,
and her progress was in many ways as
sisted by him, but he was always op
posed to street cars, especially in nar
row streets, and when the present street
railroad's charter passed the Jegislatrac
the only street exempted was Rose
street, which extends alongside of Max
well Placa
Mr. Mulligan's town of Grauard is
now leased to a German dairyman, Fred
Haldeman, who occupies the only house
in the town, the old McCoy residence.
It is a neat story brick house of the
style of 60 years ago, and here within
its shadow almost Mr. Haldeman milks
his cows aud sings his German songs.
It is proposed to put Grauard to new
use now that the city authorities of
Lexington seem determined to prohibit
poolrcoms in this city. It is planned to
build a poolroom in the confines of
Granard at a point nearest the street
car lino where the belt railroad crosses
North Broadway and within sight of
tho house of the late General W. T.
Withers, in which General Grant,
Rutherford B. Hayes and King Kala
kaua were entertained. The grand
juries of Fayette county are not often
so severe on the poolroom operators as
to make the fines prohibitive, and it is
believed that a poolroom establishment
would prove n paying enterprise in
Grauard. No definite steps havo been
taken to carry out the plan, aud it is
likely that nothing will be done before
next spring. Should the city authorities
continue to wage war on the poolroom
men it is more than likely that Grauard
will begin to grow in the springtime.

THE OLDEST WOMAN.
She Lives In Hawaii anil Has Celebrated
One Hundred aud Twcuty-two Birthday.
The oldest inhabitant of Hawaii, and
probably the oldest human being in the
world who lias retained most of her
faculties, is a native woman residing in
Honolulu, the story of whose hfo be
came known through the efforts of Ala
tau T. Atkinson, editor of The Hawaii
an Star and general superintendent ol
the census just completed.
Her name is Kepoolele Apau, and her
age, from tho most authentic reckoning,
122 years. Crippled two yeiirs ago by a
fall whicli dislocated her thigh, this
ancient specimen of humanity can chat
intelligently about events that occurred
more than a century ago, can see a coin
in a prospective-donor's hand clear across
the room aud can patch clothing as deft
ly as any of her great-great-grandchil
dren. She is gettiug purblind, but her
general health is good and her appetite
fair. She is confident that if she had
not had that fall she would still be able
to be useful.
She volunteered the information that
sho remembered the digging of the well
in Kau, and that sho was a child at the
time, similar to a child running about
the house, a child between 6 and
years. This event occurred in 1781 and
is described in Fornahder's History.
This would make her" 122 years old, ac
cording to exact calculation. San Fran
