Mare than half a century ago, when railroads were first beginning to be built in America, there were no rail road kings to finance them. Those in the west especially were paid for by the farmers living along the proposed line, who subscribed each for a small lot of the stock. Zeke Tuttle. a Kentucky farmer's boy, returned from the war between the United States and Mexico, where he had served as a volunteer In a rifle corps composed chiefly of hunters, to find a railroad projected that was to rirn close to bis father's farm. Zeke became much interested In the pro posed rond. which would enable his fa ther to get his products to market and thus utilize them. The young man was a good talker and made a tour along the route that bad been laid down by the engineers, for the purpose of per suading the farmers to subscribe for the stock of the company. He 'met with remarkable success. This was owing to a natural gift he possessed for demonstrating the advan tages that the railroud would bring to the farmer rather than to any especial willingness on his part to take his money out of the woolen stocking in which he kept It and put it Into the shares of the road. When sufficient track had been laid to warrant a mort gage those Interested began to look about for funds to be obtained in this way. At that time 7 per cent was the prevailing rate of Interest in America, which was much higher than that paid abroad. It was therefore decided to attempt to place the stock of the road in Europe. When the directors came to look about them for a man to dem onstrate the enterprise to foreigners they naturally pitched upon Zeke Tut tle for the purpose. Zeke accepted the work offered he "was to receive his expenses and tt commission and. making the journey to New York by stagecoach, canal and other primitive methods of conveyance, crossed the ocean In a sailing vessel and one day appeared in Paris with his charts and printed information setting forth the advantages of his railroad. He found certain bankers who were so favorably Impressed with his argu ments that they consented to offer his bonds to the public. One day while they were making their preparations to opeu the subscription books a man called on Mr. Tuttle and solicited an advertisement of the sale for his paper. the Courier des . Tuttle declined to advertise. The next morning an article appeared in the Courier des warning persons not to subscribe for the bonds 6f the American railway since the road had not yet been built. Unless this article were retracted by the newspaper that published it Tut tle's scheme for placing his bonds would be a failure. He called at once at the office of the Courier des and asked to see the manager. Tuttle was a, long, gaunt, rawboned American of the backwoods type, dressed in store clothes he had bought for the occasion. The manager was a carefully dressed Frenchman of aristocratic mien. An interpreter was called, and Zeke en tered a protest against what he called blackmail. The manager said some thing in French to the interpreter, who asked Tuttle to follow him and led him to the office of an elegantly dress ed man who sat in a luxurious chair reading one of Alexandre Dumas' nov els. The Interpreter suid something in French to this gentleman, then said to Zeke: "This is M. Cavillac. ze fighting edi tor of our journal. You having In sulted us by accusing us of levying blackmail upon you, I have been in structed to bring you here zat you may repeat your charge if you so choose to do." "I don't talk any French," replied the westerner, "but that's what we call Buch rascally proceedings in pure American." The reply was transmitted to M. C villac, who gave the following rejoin der to Mr. Tuttle: "This Journal, like others. Is liable to print something' that will displease some one. For the purpose of satisfy ing such or defending its honor a gen tleman is appointed to receive and give challenges to and from those who nre offended or offend. Since you have ap plied an offensive epithet to what has been said in the columns of this paper M. Cavillac begs that you will do him the honor of giving him satisfaction in mortal combat." "Well. I'll be jlnged!" was Tuttle's exclamation. "I'm goldurned if 1 haven't a mind to satisfy him by slapping his jaw." ' "Zat would be out of order," said the interpreter. "lie is armed and jronld shoot you.' For a moment Tuttle was thrown, so to speak, on his beam ends, but be soon rallied. "What kind of a mortal combat is it? Bowie knives?" , . , "What you call zat! It Is not known in Paris. But I have to inform you, monsieur, zat since you are ze chal lenged party you have ze , choice of weapons. M. Cavillac does not care whether you choose ze sword or ze pis tol He Is equally familiar with both weapons." "Reckon he is," replied Tuttle. "It Isn't likely that the paper would give lucb a job to a man who didn't know his business." "Monsieur is quite right. Upon in quiry be will 1eurn that M. Cavillac Is one of the best swordsmen and shots not only in Paris, but in Europe." "You've got everything fixed to bleed any one you choose, haven't you?" The interpreter pretended not to hear this. M. Cavillac assumed a bored look and returned to his novel. Tuttle's martial spirit, thai had been cultivated during the war with Mexico, was slow ly looming up in his bosom. He re membered how the corps of "squirrel hunters," ns they were called, to which, he bad belonged were relied upon by general Taylor to pick off the Mexlcun leaders and how they accomplished their task. The blood wus slowly mounting to the American's cheeks, and fire was lighting up his eye. "Now. M'e here," he said, bringing bis fist down on the table. "This yere thing has got to stop. If any more of it appears lu your paper I'll take care of that waxed mustuched gentlomnnjn the American fashion. Good moroin'." Turnins on his heel, he departed from the office of the Courier, leaving the Interpreter to deliver his message. The next morning the Courier print ed another article about Tuttle's road that was worse than the first His bankers informed him that in view of these' attacks it would be useless for them to offer the bonds. They would not be taken by the public. "What can I do to stop the rascals?" asked Tuttle. "Give tlieni a thousand franc adver tisement" ' "We don't do such things In Amer ica." "You Americans have not yet learned I the way affairs are arranged in older j countries." "Hold on a few days. Don't do anything till I let you know." The manager of the Courier, nothav- i Ing received a reply to bis fighting editor's challenge and thinking he had a good chance to clinch matters, sent a message to Tuttle 6tating that if he did not send a written apology to be printed In the journal he would pub lish an article showing how. for hav ing protected the French public from an American swindle, they had been subject to insult and a demand for satisfaction bad been unheeded. "Jest you wait a minute." he said to the messenger, "and I'll give you an answer to take back with you." Then he sat down at a desk and in dited the following epistle: I Manager of the Courier des : Monsieur 1 have decided to accept the challenge of your fighting editor. I un derstand that I have the choice of weap ons, but 1 don't want to act the hog, so I'll give your fighting editor a choice be tween two kinds ot a fight that has been tried often in the state of Kaintucky. The first plan is bowle knives in a dark room; the second Is rifles at from 600 to 1,000 yards. Respectively yours, EZEKIEL TUTTLE. ( There is no record ns to the recep tion of this note in the Courier office. No reply was made for some time. When It came it expressed surprise that Mr. Tuttle should suppose that either of siu-b barbarous plans as he' had proposed would be acceptable in a civilized country like France. Wouldn't he name some other plan that could be accepted by a gentleman? To this Tuttle wrote that the only other plan in such matters in vogue In America that he (Tuttle) approved of was "over a handkerchief," which meant that two seconds held a handkerchief be tween the disputants, who fought with pistols as near together as that would allow. Ills opponents were at liberty to choose that method If they liked in preference to the two others he had named, but for his part he thought the distance between the parties was mighty small. Mr. Tuttle waited patiently for a further reply. It did not come, but the next day a gentleman called on the American, who introduced himself as M. Dumont, a member of a Paris club to which all disputed points of the code duello were referred. He had called to assure M. Tuttle that his plans of fighting had been referred to a committee of which he had the honor to be chairman and that tho committee hud decided that M. Cavillac was not bound to fight on those terms. This was communicated in bnd English. "Look here, monsieur," said Tuttle, "I didn't ask M. Cavillac to fight; he asked nie. But since I'm in for this yere muss I'm going through with It. You go tell him that if he don't accept one or t'other of the two plans fust offered before sundown I'll withdraw em and Insist on a fight 'over a hand kerchief.' " "Mon DIeu," exclaimed the French man, "Americans are like ze wild men d'Afrique!" So indignant was ho that he forgot to bow himself out Tuttle, who now gave up all expectation of the fighting editor meeting him on his own terms, notified his bankers to proceed with their preparations for placing his bonds. The next move on the part of the Courier party was to send an invita tion to. Mr. Tuttle to a conference to take place In the editor's office. Upon the American's arrival he was inform ed that tbey bad been mistaken as to the Investment he wns about to offer, and if he would withdraw the charge of blackmail he had made they would publish an article stating thnt finan ciers hnd pronounced his bonds a good investment and the probabilities were that the loan would be largely over subscribed. This ended the matter. The Courier approved of the lonn. Tuttle of his own nccord gave tbem an nd.. and the bonds were nltytnken. Tuttle went back with a couple of hundred thou sand dollars commission and became a famous railroud man. 1 1 1 1 1 ! in 1 1 A. McCALLEN, President. C. H. VAUPEL, Vice-President.
