They call it "the code" in tha southern states, and to this day the code often takes precedence of stat ute law among jnon of southern birth. The code is this: If a man insults vou by publicly calling you a liar or in any oiner iasmon you uo not knock him down on the spot, as vou would in some states, but you warn tbe man that vou will snoot him on sight. The warning must be in the presence ol witnesses or in writing. Then you go home and get your pis tol, and the other man presumably docs the same thing. After that wherever you and your adversary meet the one who sees the other Brst opens fire, or if the recognition is simultaneous it is merely a ques tion of which can pull his pistol quickest. Usually c is killed or badly in jured. Hut if the warning has been given in due form it is 10 to 1 that tlio jury will not convict the killer. Tho verdict is "self defense" or at most "manslaughter." There is hardly a case on rocord of a murder er beinz hung for his share in a duel of this kind, however one sided. If the cause of the quarrel h" anything to do with an insult offer ed to a lady of the challenger' fam ily the latter is far saier than if he had Killed a dog. In most cases ha walks out of court and the cheers of the audience. There was ghanly tragedy at Oak Grove, Va. A man named Marx quarreled with a neighbor over an alleged insult to a young lady. In the ensuing affray Marx killed Taylor and two of his friends and seriously wounded a fourth. The coroner's jury decided that Marx had acted in self defense and exonerated Mm. . To some ears this code of the southern states sour 'Is wicked and criminal to a degree. Yet the southern code of honor is certainly no worse than that prevailing in the berman and Austrian armies. If a Gorman or Austrian officer quarrels with another of his own rank a duel must tok aluce at onco. The insulted man is in Coventry till blood is shed. But if the insult is from one so much higher in rank that the other cannot challenge, the latter is doomed to commit suicide. The late Archduke Otto, the Aus trian empcror'i nephew, got tipsy ono night and brought a crew of boon companions to the doors of his wife's suit. A young lieutenant on duty drew, his sword and sore he would run the first man through who touched-the door handle. Otto struck the boy in the face and then retreated. Tho lieutorant could not challenge one of royal blood. He prcTarcd to commit suicide. Most happily the story came to the emperor's ears. He telegraphed the lieutenant and Otto to attend at once at the Hofburg. Then he rated Otto fiercely and ended by saying: 'Tour royal rank precludes Lieutenant from challenging you. But no restric tion Viinrlo. mmV With thnt hf stepped np to the archduke andl truck him a heavy blow on tho check with his open hand. "Now go," be bade him. Then he turned to the lieutenant and embraced him. "You will receive your com mission aa captain tonight," he said, 'and with it your exchange to an other station."

Write MAIN OFFICE Gravitation Defied. While it is usually conceded that puns belong to "the lowest order of wit" there have been puns which can hardly be classified in tlys way. One of these is said to have been made by Jeffrey Keller, an Irish lawyer, who was more noted for his wit than for eminence in his chosen profession. A lawyer of the name of llayne, who was a highly respect ed but decidedly heavy person, had risi'u lo a judgeship, whilo Keller, who had entered on his legal career at about the same time with Maync, was still much in want of clients and foe. He was in a courtroom one dny when Jlavne was solemnly presiding, nnd he turned to a friend who Hit beside him and plucked at his sleeve. "Soe there 1" he whispered. "There sits ilavne, risen by his gravity, and here sits Keller, sunk by his levity. What would Sir Isaac Newton say to that, I'd like to know i" London Standard. From the Outside. Jenkins was half frantic with toothache, and as he stood before the glass examining the oUending molar he was really quite startled at his enormously large mouth. It was so big that it positively fright ened him. He thought the best thing he aid do would bo to swal- j low himself nnd so put an end to his j pain. On calmer reflection he de termined to visit the dentist. When he was in the fatal chair and the dentist had his forceps and hammer in his hand panic seized poor Jen kins, lie began to twist, stretch and move hi enormous mouth about in such a frightening way that the operator became alarmed. "Don't trouble to open your mouth any wider, he said kindly. 1 intend to stand outside.
