...contest was still in progress. Reynolds, C. S., and Lempe, M. S., the two principals, and their seconds, Furness '88, and Sternburgh, '87, came out with their long dueling swords. The principals were protected with head masks and leather guards on their right arms. The seconds had on caps of different German university student corps, and wore little aprons of the same color as their cap bands. Three rounds of a minute each were fought.

...such a look of horror as it might well break a mother's heart to gaze upon. A middle aged man, short, thick-set and resolute looking, has dropped dead in the street, and the gendarmes have brought the nameless body here. He wears a blue blouse, and his cap is still upon his head; his sleeves, rolled up, disclose two arms of unusual muscularity. This man died hard. Yes, and yet his death was infinitely easier than his life had been; for the soles of his shoes are worn quite through, and the bottoms of the feet, turned toward...
