m*J. The scene Is In the gay Crescent
City, twenty years or more before the
war. when New Orleans promised to
be the largest city on the continent,
when It* shipping was enormous and
when dueling was the gentlemanly and
approved method of settling disputes.
The servicei at the large Catholic
cathedral had just been concluded, and,
through the entrance, out Into the pub
lic square, sauntered a mlddle-agud
man with a young woman, as fair as
any desired to look upon, at. his side.
Her cheek had the hue of the sun

showed that she was by no means a

and carrying himself with a military
erectness. Everyone admired Mr.
Marsd'ii. the eloquent lawyer, the su

with generous instincts, but a fiery
temper, lie was the idem type of a
gallant, chivalrous southerner. The ten

months he had sighed before the shrine

progress, and then the statesman had

strenuous efforts. So It happened that
Jack, no better than he should have
been, resorted to the consolation of

men of all nations, it might he said,

into greater dl tsipatlons. Helen once
saw him driving to the races (there
were two great tracks In operation
then) with the prima donna of the
French opera, whereupon the society
belle deliberately looked th ■ other way.
And many were the evenings passed at
the cafes, where hock, burgundy and
the more sparkling beverages (lowed In
abundance. Hut the sorrow wouldn't
drown and the chagrin always floated
oo the surface.
Ah the Holdier-statesman and Helen
crossed the square whom should they
encounter but Jack himself, who looked

"He served Mon iour Jark with much

him: Monsieur Marsden responded
with anger: they exchanged words and
are to meet early thlH morning at the
Oaks."
“At the Oates!" exclaimed Mademoi
selle. “Oh, thlH cannot be. Are you
sure?”
"The butler saw It all."
“It Is terrible; It Is terrible!"
“Well, mademoiselle," said the girl,
consolingly, “Monsieur Marsden Is one
of the best swordsmen In New Orleans.
It Is not he, but Monsieur Jack who
will be killed.”
“Silence!” commanded the mistress.
Bright and early the next morning
Jack found himself beneath the Oaks,
with his second. His head felt a little
heavy and his hand shook, but not with
fear.
“We are early," he said to Ills sec
ond.
"Here they come," was the response.
Mr. Marsden was soon on the spot
and the swords were brought out. Afar
was anoiher group and they knew that
another dispute was being settled In
this popular and gentlemanly fashion.
The elderly c m test ant drew the lover
aside.
“Sir, must this matter go on? An
apology —”
“1 have no apology.”
"Very well.”
“To him who survives site shall be
long."
The rival smiled rather pensively.
"Are you ready, gentlemen?"
“We are."
They were- about to throw themselves
Into position when a carriage was
heard In the road near by and the next
moment a figure rushed forward. It
was the young woman herself. Im
petuously she threw herself, not upon
the breast of the rival, but into the
arms of the bewildered young man.

him. It Is all my fault. I have co
quetted with him. T)o you forgive me,
Jack? Promise you will not fight,”
”1 cannot honorably do otherwise,”
replied the confused lover, who Im
agined himself in the seventh heaven
with her arm upon his shoulder.
“You must, for my sake," she plead
ed. “I love you, Jack. I have always
loved you. I have been cruel, but lay
it to waywardness, not to my real self.
Hereafter, I will be different. And now,
come.”
"1 cannot. I am at the service of
this gentleman.”
The rival regarded them with a mel
ancholy smile. He had passed that
period of volcanic youth, but now he
felt suddenly as if the hand of age had*
grasped him and made him twenty
years older. How fair she was with
the dew of early morn upon her hair!
How impassioned she was when she
told her love to another! Those words
she had led him to believe, were to
have been addressed to himself one
day. But they were a handsome couple!
And he had imagined her all his? Then
he spoke to her gravely.
"I am at your command,” he said.
"This duel shall not go on.”
"But,” began Jack.
"Sir, I was in your way last night
and naturally you jostled me. You
had the right to feel offended, I pre
sume. I am convinced now that I
should have apologized. Having ne
glected to do so. this lady has made me
feel the error of my position and I now
do apologize for having been in your
way. My apology, I trust”—with a
melancholy smile—“will be accepted."
"Yes, do accept it, Jack," pleaded the
young lady.
The lover was about to make a
shame-faced response when the rival
saluted them courteously and turned
away. Jack returned in triumph, in
his divinity's carriage, while the rival
drove back slowly, telling himself that
one is never too old to learn.

A Miner's HeroWm.
Heroes abound in every walk of life,
and many a noble act of devotion and
self-sacrifice goes unpublished and un
known. A serious accident, followed by
a genuine act of heroism, occurred In
a western mine recently, A miner by
the name of William Friend had pre
pared and lighted two shots In a shaft
forty feet deep, and was being hoisted
out by a companion, William Overland.
As he reached the top of the shaft, the
barrel upon which he was standing be
came detached from the rope, and
Friend was precipitated to the bottom
upon the burning fuse. Ills right leg
was broken in two [daces, and lie was
so bruised and stunned that lie lay
quite still, awaiting the horrible death
from the coming ixploslon which
seemed Inevitable. Without a thought
of personal danger, but thoroughly
alive to his comrade’s fearful peril,
Overland threw the rope down again,
and made It fast to the windlass, lie
seized it, and slipping, sliding, hand
ever bund, descended rapidly to the bot
tom of the shaft. His feet touched the
rock, and with the agility of a cat he
snatchid the burning fuse from the
loaded holes! The explosion was pre
vented and his unfortunate feliow
workroan's life wan saved by his fear
less promptness. Overland’s hands
were blistered and bleeding from eon
tact wltli the rope, but otherwise he
wai unhurt, and thought little of what
lie had done, of such stuff heroes are
made.

The brave work of a miller in saving
a little girl from drowning is described
by the Indianapolis Journal. The mill
owner and his wife, it appears, had
gone to the elty, leaving an eight-year
old girl at home. With other children
she went down to the mill to play, and
by some accident fell Into the sluice
which feeds the turbine wheel. The
head miller heard a scream, and not
knowing what had happened, applied a
brake and stopped the machinery, Then
he ran out, found the little girl Just
disappearing under the water and in lie
went after her. Then he found him
self In a hard place. The water was
eight feet deep and he was four feet
below the top of the sluice, the sides of
which were as smooth as a polished
floor. The girl was unconscious. How
was he to get her out? It took one
hand to hold her head above water,
and the other to keep himself from
sinking. He must try to throw her
out. and thin, hy a great effort, he did.
Hut the rebound drove him under water
and against the wheel, where he was
in great danger of being caught and
held. He came up again, however, and
now a new difficulty confronted him.
How was he to get, out himself? He
sank to the bottom, gave an upward
spring, and as lie came up half-blinded
succeeded In catching the top of the
sluice. Then, hy the greatest exer
tions he drew himself out. The girl
was still unconscious, but bv vigorous
measures was at last revived.

A queer story is told by Mr. Andrew
Hung, according to the New York
Journal. The Incident came under his
own notice and occurred under the
bridge over the Ixjchy, below the Hen
Nevis Hong John distillery. From this
tale It Is obvious that anlmuls are only
sober from luck of wit to obtain al
cohol:
"That establishment disgorges Into a
burn a quantity of refuse, no doubt al
coholic. When we crossed the bridge
In the morning to fish, the ducks from
the farm opposite were behaving In a
drunk and disorderly manner flying,
beating the water, diving, spluttering
and greedily devouring the stuff from
the distillery. Their antics were funny
but vulgar. Hy 2 o’clock we found the
ducks sleeping off the effects of their
debauch. We wakened them and they
staggered eagerly to a bucket of water,
from which they quenched the tor
ments of thirst. A small seabird be
haved In a still more deplorable
way. He slowly drifted down the Hochy
from the fatal Intoxicated burn, nor
could pebbles Judiciously thrown at
hint Induce him to take to the wing.
He tried to dive, making efforts comic
and unsuccessful. After drifting
through the bridge I regret to say that
he returned to the burn and "took a
cup of kindness yet," getting all the
more Intoxicated and drifting back In
n yet more deplorable condition. What
a lesson, we said, Is this to mankind,
which after all, need not speak of
boasted reasonableness! The wild and
tame things of stream and ocean arc aa
unwise as we,”

The XurrfM of Henry O. Thorell.
Iletiry (!. Thorell, whose postoftice
address is lloldrege, Neb., was at one
time a carriage maker in t'hicaga He
removed to Nebraska in 1077. That he
has reason to be satisfied is proven by
the fact that lie is today worth fb'10.000,
every cent of it made on his farm.
Last year (1MK1) he had 3.40 acres in
corn.350 acres in small grain. 3*4 horses,
AO head of cattle and 150 hogs.
In our "NT.iikaska Hook” (40 pages
with maps and illustrations), ure doz
ens of statements like thatof Mr. Thor
rell. They are mude by farmers who
have made a success of fanning. They
show that Nebraska ia as good a state
as any in the I'nion.
The hook in w hich they appear is as
different from the ordinary agricul
tural pamphlet us day is from night.
It is interesting, practical and truthful.
In a straightforward, simple fashion,
it tells you everything you need to
know about Nebraska its climate,
people, schools, churches, railroads,
markets, soil and crops. It explains
why the Nebraska farmer makes mon
ey in spite of low prices and bard
times. Why land is cheap. And how
it Is ns easy for an Intelligent and in
dustrious man to Ifl'Y a Nebraska
farm us it Is to rent one in any slate
eust of the Missouri river,
Kvery farm renter who wants to lie
come a farm owner; every farm owner
who Is tired of trying to make money
off high-priced land; every father who
wants to give ills sons a start on tiie
high road to independence, should write
for a copy. Free.

With a better understanding of the
transient nuture of the many phys
ical Ills, which vanish before primer ef
forts—gentle efforts'—pleasant efforts —
rightly directed. There is comfort ,n
tlie knowledge, tiiat so many forms of
sickness are not due to any aetuul dis
ease, hut simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Hyrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with niillionsof families, and is
every where esteemed so highly hv all
wlio value good health. Its bcnerieial
effects arc due to tire fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
unimportant, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Hyrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regulur, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but \i Jn peed of a h;„«.tive, '
one should have the nest, and with the
well-informed everywhere. Syrup of
