Private Allen’s Duel Story.
During a debate on the. I’ciuion Appro-
priation bill in the Ii‘iftyrthird Congress,
Congressman Meredith of Virginia and
Congressman Funk of Illinois almost
came to blows. There lind been some
talk of a duel from day to day. and
everybody knew that the Virginian
would as lief fight as not. lie is a very
norvmis man, while the Illinois states»
man is as cool as a cucumber in a re-

Mississippi, said:
“If Meredith and Funk ever came to-
gether on the field of honor. I am afraid
they might be reconciled before they
would kill each other. Down in my neigh-
borhood once upon a time tin-re was bad
feeling between two lawyers. and it was
decided that only blood could wipe out
the enmity which existed. A challenge
was sent and duly ackiiowh-dgwl, The
hour was appointed and the two men met
in a secluded spot. One of them was a
great sufferer from Saint \'itns'sdaucc.
the other was cool and collected.
“As they faced each other the nillicied

“Only a little shopping. You will be

in there and order ten yards of this sam-

”Which sample! l‘t me see."
“It's that mauve with the white spots.”
“Why don’t you take the light blue
with the roubuda!"
"That’s better suited for (lend-evening.
I need mine for afternoon and occasional
Sunday wear.”
"I say. all."
“Well!"
“That blue is the most exaltislte thing
I ever saw in the way of silk. Get it,
too."
“I don't need it.”
"Then I shall have my revenge.”
“How?” and she laughed merrily.
"Ily marrying the first girl I see dressed
in it."
"George, what a silly you are!"
An hour or two later. George‘s busi-
ness completed, he bethought him of his
sister's commission, and, crossing the
street. entered the dry goods palace of
Cooper. Halo 8; Co.
“What will you have, Mr. Vincent?”
said one of the floor walkers, bowing
obsequiously as George entered.
“The silk counter," George answered,
briefly.
In a moment he stood before a counter
overhung and draped with the latest
novelties in silk, while a shop girl smil-
lngly asked what he wished.
He did not reply promptly. for his eyes
vhal wandered to the other end of the
counter where an elderly lady, with soft.
gray hair drawn against the checke‘wae
crinkling the. blue and rosehud silk in her
gloved fingers with the knowing air of an
old shopper. .
"This is what I am to get," he said,
drawing the sample book from his pocket.
"Ten yards to be sent to Miss Margaret
Vincent, 3‘21 Filbert avenue.“ .
George laid down a bill and in the in-
teriin of waiting for the change found
himself again noticing the elderly lady.
“()uly nine yards!” he heard her ex-
claim. “What a pity, and my daughter
has so set her heart on this particular
blue and rosebud. Anyway, you may
send it. It can have a plain front. The
address is~~-" lie unconsciously stretched
his cars. “It was not for the old party
then, after all.”
”Your change, sir."
It was the third time the shop girl had
said it and now she raised her voice
under the impression that George was
deaf.
The l ldorly lady turned and looked at
(iconic.
“What a pity so young a man is deaf,”
she said. though inn low tone.
"ch, ma’nm. it is,” replied the shop
girl. as no one else seemed addressed.
George smiled. He had heard, but he

cumstnin-cs.
It was ju~i after dinner that the express

Margaret sprung to open it. With a lit:
tle cry of dismay;
“George?"
“What now?"
"Why. it isn't the mauve at all. butthe
blue and rmclnni. I think you are dread-
fully provoking."
George “'lilsilt‘ll a long note of sur-
prise.
"'i‘hey mixed the orders," he said, “and
sent you the daughter's instead."
"What daughter's?"
"A nice elderly lady's. She was getting
it at the some counter when I was getting
yours."
“Ah!" it was a very intelligent "ah.”
“How would it do," he u-ntured, “to
get the a-ldriws and send it right to the
daughter" his face Culol‘rll slightly——
“from here."
“'I'hnt wouldn't do at all," answvred
Margaret. "but never mind. I'll make it
all right without bothering you any more.
It shall go back to (‘ooper's in the morn-
ing and of course 't he daughter,‘ who has
mine. will return it to ('oolwr's and they
will send it to me at once."
For some reason this plan did not seem
to fully delight her brother.
“l-r i thought,” he said. "you might
get ‘tlie daughter's‘ address. you know,

Margarrt looked at her brother keenly

A pneumatic skate in on exhibition at
the Royal Aquarium, London. on which
the Ikateetrain can spin along much mun
rapidly than on the old fashioned Wooden
wheeled roller. The idea in distinct emv
beniemeut. of course, of the idea of the
pneumatic tire as need on bicycles.
It was invented by H. J. Wilson, and
the'flrst pair was sold to a woman of
"pluck and title." who lives at Klrkcaldy
and who does her shopping on the skates.
followed by all the inhabitants of Kirk-
caldy who are well enough to be out. The
craze has infected Glasgow, where pneu-
matic skaters go along at the rate of
twelve miles an hour, the beginners mow-
ing down anything and every one in their
path. It is specially adapted to country
doctors, letter carriers, drummers, high-
waymea, and. in fact, to any one whose
interest it is to move rapidly from one
place to another. .
The skates cost in England from tilto
826 a pair. It is said that $22 worth of
arulca and sticking plaster is enough for
the learner, and after that he can keep
his balance and make good speed. It
isn't necessary to have a smooth iloor,'the
best sort of ground being a gritty, mac-
adamlzed road.
So far the skate has not been seen in
this country. The nearest approach to it
was contained in a dialogue in the 'l‘oinbs
Police Court. A prisoner was brought
in. charged with belugdrunk.
"I'll take my oath, Judge," he said,
“that I didn't take a drop. I’d been down
to Coney Island, and I guess I was over-
come by the exhilarating air.”
"Ah!” exclaimed lIis Honor. "I under-
stand. You had on a pneumatic 'skate.’
Kindly hand the gentleinanly clerk to
your right a live dollar bill or accompany
the accommodating person to your left to
