The travelers seemed to agree that they’d hate to have any- body say anything like that about them. “Well, I don’t know how true this remark may be as applied to the Davis person,” observed a Texan in the group, ‘but !¢ 1s my opinion that such aremark could be truthfully applied to very few men. Moat men are courageous in tight pinches, even the men who {magine deep down tn their consciousness that they are in- stinctively and inherently cowardly. “Take, for example, the case of Judge Freeman of Texas. Freeman imagined himeelf to be a coward. He had never—fortunately, he said— been put to a test, but he was dead certain that he would crawfish {n tight place and show himeelf to the world as a coward. “This was before he ever ran for office in Texas When he first ran for office In’ Texas town a pecullar ly vitrlollc editor of a paper publish- edinthe Texas town began to at- tack Freeman in @ manner that could only mean blucd. “Judge Freeman's friends got around him and told him that he'd have to kill, or at any rate wing, the editor or getout of Texas. trouble. “ ‘7 feel like I’m going to show the white feather in this business,’ he said tome. ‘You know what I’ve often told you. I’ma natural born coward, I’ve got a yellow streak. Just now the yellow streak is work- ing this way: I’m more afraid of killing that fellow than Iam of get ting killed myself. I hate the busi- ness andI hate to think that fit comes to a show-down I'll crawl.’ “Two days after thatthe editor published another vile broade!de against Judge Freeman and then we all knew it would happen. “The editor lett his office tor home thatjafternoon. He hadn’t taken & dozen steps before he caught sight of Judge Freeman emerging from the postoffice, about sixty yards down the street. Somebody standing tn the doorway called out to Judge Freeman atthe same instant and the judge caught sight of the editor advancing upon him. “Both men drew and fired at the same Instant. But they were poor shots, both of them, and their bul- lets were wide. And they continued to fire as they advanced upon each other. “There was nary 4 sign of weak ness in Freeman. On the contrary, he looked perfectly cool. He was naturally a handsome man, and his ‘face looked transfigured and fine in that intense moment. “There were only four cartridges ‘{n the editor’s gun and he fired all of them without making a hit. When he had fired all four shots he threw his gun onthe ground to indicate to his opponent that he was through with firing, and that editor looked to me like a man ready to run. “Judge Freeman still had two cartridges left in his gun, But when he saw his enemy throw his pistol away, the big heart of the man ap- peared. He lowered his gun and stood in the middle of the sidewalk, waiting. “The editor advanced upon him, seemingly for the purpose of thank- ing the judge for hie generosity in not continuing the firing, and of making up. The judge, seeing thie, followed his enemy’s example and threw away his gun, in which the two cartridges remained. So there he stood, entirely unarmed. “As Jeoon as Freeman cast away his gun, the editor, who had advanc- ed close to him, suddenly whipped out @ bowie from beneath the collar of hiscoat and began to slash at Judge Freeman. It was a cur’s trick, and that editor never was allowed to hold up his head in Texas after doing it. “Now here, if not before, was the epot for Judge Freeman to show his editor was chopping away as him, and Freeman didn’t have eo much ae 8 good pocket knife on him. the man who foolishly imagined him- self to sbe a coward was not only } al to the oceaslon—bearpes ve ;foot upon the forearm of the hand yellow streak, if he had one. The editor around the waist, and being & powerfal man, he threw the editor to the ground. Then he planted a that held the knife and wrenched the big blade from the prostrate editor's hand. Grasping the bowle, the judge bent over his bitter enemy and pat the blade to the man’s throat. “Are you through?” he asked the man who was down. _ “Tam if you are,’ replied the edit- or. “Judge Freeman stood up and threw the bowle over the top of a store. “ ‘All right; get up,’ he sald to the man, whose life he could have taken as easily as slitting the throat ofa ‘possum. “The editor got up and slouched away. “You are the great old coward, | suppose,’ I sald to Judge Freeman an hour or so after the encounter. “His reply was curious. “‘T reckon I am—just as much ofa coward now as ever! was,’ he told me. “How do you make that out?’ I asked him. “Why, this way,’ he replied. ‘I wasn’t myself when I had the run in with that fellow. I was somebody else. Otherwise, 1 never could have gone through with shove proceedings. I hardly remember anything that happened, because you see, the spirit of the courageous chap went out of me after the thing was all over. I’m a quitter and a runaway all right enough.’ “But I only laughed at him, as he deserved to be laughed at.

Boars the oe Kind You Have Always Bought Rignatare of Short Peach Crop is Expected. Springfield Leader. While there 1s no prospect of thi year’s Elberta peach crop belng as large as that of last year, it is be- gloning to receive the attention of those most directly interested, espec {ally the different transportation and refrigeration companies, as well as the owners of the large commer- clal orchards. A tull crop this year, owing to the many new orchards in bearing, would have approached 1,000 cars, {n the Van Buren, Ark., district, but more conservative growers are plac- ing the crop at one-third that sizs. Excessive shedding of the young fruit, following the dropping of the bloom and the exceedingly wet weather of the past 70 days, have damaged thecrop very materially, While some orchards will yield a full crop, others will yield a light one, a@nd some none at all, but the pros- pects are for very large peaches. The Iron Mountain yards at Van Buren now contain a large number of A. R. T. refrigerator cars, and the Frisco yards at Fort Smith are be- coming congested with Armour re- trigerator cars, as the entire north- western portion of the state is sup- plied with cars from that point, where they receive their initial icelng before being sent to the loading sheds. The Wells-Fargo Express Company is assembling all of its re- frigerator cars at Fort Smith, and the ice plants at Fort Smith and Van Buren are preparing for the rush by filling their storage roome with ice to their utmost capacity. The movement of peaches from Van Buren and Crawford county should begin nos later than July 20, although some are predicting an earlier beginning as it {s claimed the season isat least ten days earlier than usual.
