committed with both gun and knife
by the heroes of the wild and wooly
West. Hut if you'll take down those
paper-bound volumes of your child
hood, one will venture to say that
you'll not fino a rcene more thrilling
than that which occurred Sunday be
tween the two du-iky heroes who paid
for their folly in the Recorder's
Court this tnorning.
Marion testified that Pozzy owed
turn me bum ui imer uuac, uu .v.
being the day before Chr W.um. he
.1.. f . K rwl 1,
was uesirous oi iiiiuirv, inr t-um-t-tion.
So he called Iloz .y to one side
and presented klm wit', a d:afl for
the aforesaid sum. To make a de
mand on one for money during the
holidays was so ridiculous to Bozzy
that he laughed in Marlon's face, and
proceeded to walk olf. Marion said
somctning, or puiicci ins Kuh. u ,
raised Bozzy s Ire, who drew a Ul
Kntte regular oagger size.
This aggravated Marion, who fired,
koncking the knife out of Pozzy's
hand without further ceremony. One
shot sul'ticed. but Marlon testified I
that he cracked down the second time
befoi-j the knife could fall to the
ground. Marlon then hit for the tall
timbers, while Uozzy went in search
of a physician
Marlon was caught by Officer Clif
ford Fowler and Constaole Earnhart
near the Piedmont Buggy Co. Bozzy
was taxed with $10 and the costs for
his patt of the aff.ay, while Marion
forked over ?25 and the costs.
Another case of the innocent by
stander receiving the blow that was
intended for one of the participants
or the aggressor. Kenry Lynch, col
ored, was in Chess High's barber
shop, when a Jano came passing by.
He hurried to the front and found
that one of his best friends was held
In tow by that same Jane, but that
Vann Tillman, colored, was standing
ir front of the shop casting envious
glances toward ihe departing couple.
"Oh. Annie." Vann called. Annie
did not deign to reply. "Alright
.houted the humiliated Vann, "I'll be
at your house tonight to raise h.;ll."
Looking around Vann espied Hen
ry. "If any of you yellow-faced
g "s don't like
what I say, get out!" vented Vann
upon thoso who witnessed his embar
rassment. Now Henry happens to be
very yellow-faced so yellow that It
was evident that Venn's words were
Intended for,hlm. So a quarrel en
sued. Heury's best friend, Walter Thom
as, was In the shop while nil of this
was transpiring, but anticipating
trouble, he hastened to the front to
play th pacifist role. He got be
tween the two fircy combatants and
and with honeyed words endeavored
to quiet them. 'Twas In vain, for
Henry pulled out his knife, made a
slash at Vann, but unfortunately, one
of Walter's legs Interfered between
the knife and Vann.
Walter walked a little stiff-legged
in court this morning, but ho did not
seem tc bear any ill-feelings toward
his friend, Henry. Vann waj let off
with the costs, while Henry paid $10
and the costs. Henry also informed
the court that he was going to pay
Walter's doctor bill, whlcli will
amount to about $5.

where virtually only the artillery was
active and the men were feasted and
entertained as Tar as was compatible
with the sterner business of war.
Rumania's first Christmas as a
participant in the war witnessed
heavy fighting on the Rumanian
frcnt. Ground was yielded by the
Rumanians nt some points under the

He knew the two b y . ti ite well fo.

upon a ctti ; -: . r a;- tr. y entered and
the lads bu ;i them-e'ves trfcinR an
inventory of ;iie stock f goods w hich
to them sr i ,e.l qui.o wonderful.
"Good :n!np. ovy ;," said the
prrprletor ..; L.st. "il r.v's your
ther," the S inire, a::d what are jmu
going H In! -,- this r.H tui.ig?"
"Father i:; wv!l a.i ti -ual," answer
ed the eld. r Icy. "aiut he has sent t;s
t j get four pound ; of salt, a hall
pound of tea, an ounce of pepper, a
pound of gunpowder and two pounds
of shot and he says he will draw you
a cord of wood as soon as there Is a
fall of snow."
"You car. toll the S:.t:lre he needn't
worry about the wood." said the mer
chant. "I suppose you will both at
tend school this winter."
"1 shall come half of the time and
Daniel will come tl.e rest of the
time."
"That's right, and you. Daniel. I
hope you have not forgotten what
you learned last winter."
The boy's unusually dark eyes
Hashed with a sudden brightness.
"Oh, no sir; I have ciphered to
long division nnd read the bible half
through."
"That Is very good my lad. Keep
on and perhaps you may teach school
some day, though you will never be
much of a hand nt setting copy. Eze
kiel is a much better penman thar
you are.
"I can improve, said Daniel qui
etly.
"That you can and 50 can we all,
declared the storekeeper encourag
ingly. "And now Is there anything
else?"
He had measured the commodities
enumerated and had them done up in
a nice little package for the boys to
take home.
Daniel was eyeing a cotton pocket
handkerchief which hung on a linc
above the counter and seemed to
iave something written upon It.
In those days when books and pa
ce w,,rt comparatively rare and dif
ficult to obtain It was more or less
tirlcmary to combine literature wlt'u
homely use by printing reading mat
er of some kind on cheap cottor
andkerchlefs.
"What kind of a story is printed on
hat handkerchief?" he inquired, in
Icatlng the article?"
"It is the Constitution of the Fnit
etl Slates," replied the storekeeper,
"the government we live under, you
now. Would you like to have it ?"
Daniel be.-ran to feel in his pocket;.
"What's the price?" he asked.
"Twenty-live cents."
Now the boy had Just a silver quar
ter In hli pocket, which he had e.-.rn-ed
that fall by helping a neighbor
pick potatoes, and he had calculatet;
to keep It till the next fourth to buy
gunpowder with: but the handker
chief with its printed legend was too
great a temptation to him. He hn!
hut an indefinite idea of what tin
government was, and he thought he
would like to know more about it.
lie exchanged the precious coin for
the handkerchief and very carefully
stored it away in his Jacket pocket.
"It Is a good purchase," said Mr.
Hoyt, I'pprovlngly. "Study it and
learn it, and you will be the better
man for it."
, "Yes sir." returned Daniel. "I will
try to remember it. though it looks
pretty hard."
The two hoys trudged home with
their putchaseu, Daniel every now
nnd then takint out bis latest acqui
sition to scan the printed wordn. But
he had not time really to study it un
til evening arrived, and the family
gathered aroud the frieudly bhse of
ing light of the huge pine log.fld
the open fireplace. Then In the flick
ering light of the huge pine leg the
pioneer boy brought out his precious
treasure.
"What have you there, my son?"
asked his father, noting the lad's
studlousness.
"It's a handkerchief, Father with
the Constitution of the I'nited State
printed on it."
"Dan spent nil his money for it pt
Hoyt's store this morning," volun
teered Ezekiel, in explanation.
"Well, well, he might have done
worse," declared his father, gravely.
"It will do him no harm to read the
Constitution ef his country."
With the asfurance of his father'
fT'Proval. the hoy devoted himself toi
the rending of thr.t famous dorunien'
of which in a'fer years he was to b--conie
the staunch supporter and de
fender. For this pioneer hoy gre -up
to be one of the foremost iiipii of
