A Greenland Duel.
It is rather a pity for the geyety of
nations that French men of letters
cannot fight their duels as duels are
fought in Greenland. In Greenland
when one man has been insulted by
another the adversaries each compose
a satire in verse. This each man re
cites to his household until the serv
ants and the women know it by
heart. Then a place of meeting is ap
pointed. The two men. the insulter
and insulted, the offender and offended,
stand face to face, and each recites his
poem. Ills friends and servants form
a chorus. Each man tries hard to
raise the laugh against his adversary.
Each man speaks in turn, whipping
the enemy with epigram and quip,
and after two hours of this wordy
battle the meeting gives the victory
to him of the two adversaries who
has amused the whole assembly most.
Colored His Sermons.
"A minister has got to be alive and
resourceful today." said a deacon of a
big metropolitan church. "Ours finds

preach so effectively until one day I

of it was underlined in different colors.
It looked so curious that I asked him
about it.
"'A little scheme of mine, he said

Secret Societies.
Secret societies are so ancient that
their origin is lost in the mists of the
past. They existed in Egypt. Persia.
India, at the earliest times with
which history or legend gives us any
insight. It seems to be natural for
men to organise such societies for both
good and evil purposes. Nearly all the
ancient religions were of a two faced
character, popular and secret, or. as
they are called, "esoteric and "es
oteric." the first for the few. the in
itiated, the second for the rank and
file. The philosophers would teach one
thing to the masses of the people and
another to the select few who made up
the "Inner circle. Cicero tells us that
the wise men of Some and Ureece be
lieved quite differently from the cout
mou run of Greeks and Romans.
A Good Listener.
Alfred Uenry Lewis, the author, was
walking up Pennsylvania avenue one
day when he met Louis Brownlow. the
magazine writer.
"Louis. said I jew is solemnly, "listen
to me for three hours.
"Why. what's the matterT asked
Brownlow. - .
-Why. said Lewis indignantly. "I've
been in this town all day, and every
body else has been doing the talking.
I do love my Uttle conversation"
Brownlow went to luncheon with
htm and. after doing a sprint in long
distance listening, pulled out his watch
with the remark: "Lewis. I've listen

minutes; Goodby." Sew York Trib
