A Scientific
Experiment
Br W1LLARD B1JVKEMAN
When the Franco- Prussian war broke
out Edward Penton. a young American
medical student who. on account of
youth, had escaped being either killed
by ammunition or disease In the great
struggle that had ended Are years be
fore In his own country, went to Ger
many and through the influence of the
American minister was accepted as
assistant surgeon with rank of lieuten
ant.
After the hattle of Gravelotte, when
?II the medical staff was roost needed,
word was brought to Dr. Snedickcr,
medical director of the Prussian army,
that the American had deliberately In
sulted a medical officer of bis own
rank and that a duel was to be fought
between the two.
"This Is very wrong," exclaimed the
doctor with a scowl. "These twe
young men may both be disabled, and
we have not now enough physicians tc
take care of the wounded."
"And yet doctor, the challenge hav
ing passed, there Is no way out of It
Both would have to leave the army If
they did not tight."
"They don't fight duels In America,"
said Dr. Snedlcker "Send this Ameri
can to me."
Tenton reported, and the doctor en
deavored to |<ersuade him to apologize.
"I'll tell you what I'll do. doctor."
Penton replied "I'll agree to fire an
Imaginary shot at hiin, and If he Is not
killed at the first fire I will apologize
to him."
"What do you mean by that 7"
"Permit the duel on the following
terms: Make two tablets, both harm
less. Announce that one contains a
deadly poison. The principals each
choose a tab'et Convince my oppo
nent Lieutenant Berkhalter. that he
has chosen the poisoned one."
"If that will satisfy you. proceed."
As soon as the wounded were at
least temporarily provided for Dr.
Snedlcker called a number of medi
cal officers Into his tent and. last of
all, the participants of the duel. Me
showed them two pellets exactly alike
In appearance, announcing that one
was harmless while the other wntaln
ed prusslc acid. The one containing
the poison would have the taste of the
kernel of peach stones "And now.
gentlemen." concluded the doctor,
"choose. It Is better for this army to
have one live surgeon than two dls
abled ones."
Berkhalter bravely stopped up to hi* ]
superior, pnt his hand Into a glass
tumbler and took out one of two tsb
lets. Penton took the remaining one
Then at a word from the commander
each put his tablet In his mouth. An
officer handed each a glass of water,
which he waa required to drink In or
der to make sure that he had swnl
lowed his dose
Berkhalter turned pale. He had rec
ognlzed the tnste of prusslc acid given
him by his superior. One of the offl
cers stepped up to the doomed man
and said:
"If yon have anything to say, say It
quick. The poison acts at once."
"1 have only to say that I propose to
die as an officer of the Prussian army
should," replied the plucky doctor.
At the same time he felt his leg*
giving way under him, and he sank
Into the arms of his second, who car
ried him to an army cot and laid him
upon It Ponton went to him and of
fered him his hand.
"I envy yon." he said, "your oppor
tunity to show your bravery. 1 would
not have you die without withdrawing
the offensive words I spoke to you."
But Berkhalter had passed Into nn
consciousness.
"Are you satisfied T" asked Pr Sned
Icker to Penton.
"Walt a moment TTIs Imagination
cannot act while he Is unconscious. He
will revive presently."
Snedlcker was disposed to pnt an
end to the matter before It should be
too late, but a German Is nothing If
not an Investigator, and he was con
tent to grant the request on the ground
of science.
Presently Berkhalter opened his eyes;
but seeing a group of officers stand
ing over him, watching him die. he
closed them again.
One of the medical men present went
to the cot and placed his hand on
Berkhalter's heart then looked anxious
ly at the American.
"A few minutes." he said, "will place
him beyond the pale of revival."
Penton whipped a vial from his pock
et and, removing the stopper, held it
under his antagonist's nose. Berkhal
ter again opened his eyes.
"Tell him." said Penton and Immedi
ately left the tent
"Doctor." said Snedlcker. "you have
not swallowed poison. The duel has
been turned Into a scientific demonstra
tion. Neither tablet contained poison."
"Where Is the cursed American?"
cried Berkhalter. standing erect "I
shall kill him!"
"Here Is a written apology."
"I want no apology. I shall kill"?
A corporal came In. but Berkhalter
had no mind to be bandied by an en
listed man and subsided ?
Penton received a warning from his
commander that be had better keep
out of his late opponent's way if he
didn't wish to die a violent death. In
stead of doing so. the next time he saw
his snemy he approached him with
outstretched hand.
"These Americans." slid Berkhalter,
"have no sentiment"

Trade At Home
II is a hard thing to convince some people, who have acquired the
* mail order habit that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money ia thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
then printing, while at the same time argue against mail order businesa.
