A SINGULAR DUEL
How tho Death Penalty Was Adminiu
tored to Two Indians
The following story Illustrates very
well one of the characteristics of tho
Indian as it shows that Indians as a j
rule did not mind dying so much as
they were particular about the method

wanted for murder They had way

were not caught and the chances were

Tho Doctors Imagination
1 have a good story on one of Wash
ingtons best known oculists said a
prominent clubman addressing sotno
friends in the billiard room of the Met
ropolitan club My eyes had trou
bled me for some months and finally I
went to see the doctor about them
After a thorough examination he
said that the muscles were badly
Well I mislaid that blessed pre
scription and as I was particularly
that they would not be unless the sol- busy tliat Aveek j ul no tJmo t0 get
tilers were called hi If this were done another copy So in some trepidation
it was likely to precipitate trouble j I kept my second appointment
with the whole tribe and Major Coop- As the doctor examined my eyes 1

and be hanged Your eyes are very much
Word wtis sent to the two young proved That medicine Avhich I gave
Indians Head Chief and Young Mule you is certainly wonderful It always
who were out in the hills They sent has such prompt and satisfactory re
word back that they had no objection suits
to dying if it would keep the rest of It was all I could do to keep silent
the tribe out of trouble but that If concluded the speaker laughing But
they had to die they preferred to die I wasnt quite sure how he would lake
fighting and they wanted it distinctly the joke You see he may not have a
understood that they would not be sense of humor Washington Star

Major Cooper sent word to them that run the death or fall of kings but the
if they wanted a fight he would risk superstition was still current in tho
accommodating them A date was set time of Queen Elizabeth though to
and early in the morning they rode to- the amazement of her courtiers the

Cooper was out to meet them and the thought that If the sovereign would re

The two young Indians galloped up swerable to the greatness of her es
to within shooting distance and com- j tate caused them to be opened cry
meuced circling hanging on the off I ing as she looked up Jacta est alea
side of their ponies and shooting un
der their necks and across their heads
The tacit understanding was that if
they were killed it was all right but
if they got the agent they would pull
out into the hills and wait for some
other challenger The fight did not
last long Cooper had a heavy buf
falo gun and killed one Indian shoot

The other kept on circling and several
shots were exchanged till the Indian
was shot through the body lie knew
It would be all up with him in a few
minutes and charged shooting as ho

What Is a Midshipman
By luck I for the first time in my
life have found a plausible derivation
for midshipman It would appear that
in the days immediately after the flood
the vessels were very high at the ends
between which there was a deep
waist giving no ready means of
passing from one to the other To
meet this difficulty there were employ
ed a class of men usually young and
alert who from their station were
called midship men to carry messages
which were not subject for the trum
pet shout If this explanation holds
water it like forecastle and after
guard and knightheads gives another
instance of survival of nomenclature
from conditions which have long since
ceased
Whatever the origin of his title it
well expressed the anomalous and un
defined position of the midshipman
lie belonged so to say to both ends of
the ship as well as to the middle and
his duties and privileges alike fell
within the broad saying that what was
nobodys business was a midshipmans
When appointed as such in later days
he came in with the hayseed in his
hair and went out fit for a lieuten
ants charge but from first to last
whatever his personal progress he
continued as a midshipman a handy

The Worlds Gypsies
The gypsies have passed under a va
riety of names arising either from
their supposed original country or the
callings and characteristics of the race
The old English Egyptian the Span
ish Gitana and the Magyar Fharas
nepek Pharaohs people all point to
an Egyptian origin The Scandinavian
Tatare identifies them with the Mon
golian hordes which terrorized early
Europe while the French Bohemian
suggests yet another country as their
cradle
As to the names bestowed by their
supposed character the Arab boldly
calls them harami a villain the
Dutchman heydens or heathens and
the Tersian takes his name from their
complexion and dubs them karachi or
swarthy A charter of William the
Lion as early as the twelfth century
mentions their Scotch name of tin
klers which is commonly supposed to
be a corruption of tinker although pos
sibly the substitution of t for z
has produced this form of the Italian
Zingaro one of the most widespread
of gypsy -appellations London Chron
icle
the die is cast Then like King Knut
on the seashore she read her people a
homily asserting that her steadfast
hope and confidence were too firmly
planted in the providence of God to be
blasted or affrighted with those beams
which either had no ground in nature
whereupon to rise or at least no war
rant in Scripture to portend the mis
haps of princes
Queen Elizabeth as an Ale Drinker
There is an amusing letter written
by the Earl of Leicester to Lord Bur
leigh as to the lack of sufficiently
strong ale for the queen at Hatfield
There Is not one drop of good drink
for her here We were fain to send
to London and Kenilworth and divers
other places where ale was Her own
beer was so strong as there Avas no
man able to drink it Ale and bread
were the chief items of the royal
breakfast The quantity of ale con
sumed by ladies at breakfast in those t s
days was considerable for in the reign
of Henry VIII the maids of honor
were allowed for breakfast one chet
loafe one mancket two gallons of ale
and a pitcher of wine A Lady Lucy
made a mighty tonic of the national
brew Her breakfast was a chine of
beef a loaf and a gallon of ale and
for her pillow meal a posset porridge
a generous cut of mutton a loaf and a
gallon of ale Westminster Gazette
His Class
The head of a large mercantile house
received not long ago a letter from a
millionaire banker in the west asking i
that the latters son be placed in some
business house where he could learn
things from the bottom up The
writer explained that his offspring was
no good at home
Soon after the western millionaire
received the following reply from his
New York friend
Dear Sir Tour hopeful has arrived I
have given him employment in my estab
lishment at S a week with others of his
class Ono of these young men has Just
bought a 50000 yacht and another comes
to tho office in a 9000 motor car No
doubt your son will find his surroundings
congenial
