A. certain literary and dlptoniano
friend of ours once took part In a
pepper duel at a foreign restaurant.
He was provoked to the contention by
the quantity of stimulating condiment
that a stranger across the table in
dulged in. The stranger sprinkled an'
unconscionable quantity of red pepper
upon his food and proceeded to devour
It, to the wonder and admiration of
onlookers. Thereupon, with studied
nonchalance, the American swallowed
an immense piece of chill pepper. Then
the stranger added more red pepper,
then the American another larger
slice, covered with cayenne, and bo on,
till it seemed as If both would ex
plode, while the other diners looked
on aghast, the American finally win
