LACK Or CONFIDENCE.

".
The other day a young man of four
and twenty, waiting around the forty
second street depot, seemed slyly
anxious to get into fuss with some
body. He was well put together,
seemed to have lots of music and no
one seemed anxious for trouble with
him., BY and by an oldlsh man, who
had been watching the, fellow for
quarter of an hour, mad. tree to re-
mark.
You seem determined to pick fuss
with some one
That's what want, Mister, replied
the young man; I'm just roasting to
have some one haul off on me.
Why do yott wish to fights inquired
the gentleman.
III explain, was the answer. I never
had fight in my life, and l don't know
whether I'd run or stand up to business,
Id kinder like to know how Id behave.
If | stood right up, then I'd have con-
fdence III myself afterwards if I took
back seat, then I'd be mighty careful
how l told man he lied.
He slammed atodhd for few min.
rtes and then went out for glass of
beer. There was a big one eyed hack
man ii the soloon to get bill changed
and the stranger BANGED up to him and
cheerfully called out
I'm the boy who can take care of
that other eye for you!
Don't fool with a wild elephant,
groWled the hackman, as he counted
his Change.
Wild elephant be bIowed! I can saw
you in two in three minutes.
The fight opened beautifully and
closed rapidly. The young man was
knocked over table one way and
kicked over it from the other, and a
2:
blow under the ear, as he made for the
door, helped him ten feet. He trotted
into the depot pale as death, his head
swelling DIP and as he inquired for
water and towel the gentleman who
had conversed with him came forward
and inquired;
Bid yoqnt; lid aIfght'
Got licked all to thunder was the
lonesome reply.
And how about confidence
Haven pinch The minute he hit
I wished there was ten acre lot be-
tween us. That settles that question:
