He Missed the Fight.

Yesterday Ragbag's boy wanted his father
to let him go bicycling, but, as the old man
didn't feel like paying a doctor bill that day,
permission was refused. The boy leased so
hard that Mr.. Ragbag got mad and said
''See here, you young son-of-a-pirate, I'm
going to take q nap. Don't you leave the
house until ] wake up, and if you make any
noise while I'm asleep I'll lather you with a
trunk-strap so you'll disturb the folks in the
next ward" Then Ragbag wen to sleep.
The boy was in a very gloomy frame of
mind, but sat down to mediate vengeance.
When Ragbag woke up the boy said "Oh,
dad, if you'd only been awake !" "Why
hey p demanded Ragbag. "Wey, you know
G%allagher's bull dog, what has a stub-tail
and is kind O. cross.eyed p Yes, boy"
swell, he was a standing out in front of Our
house and along came young Symonds."
60 on, boy" Eyer know Symonds has a
brindle-bull-do as cost him $3.50, and thinks
it owns the earth" "Yes, yes, boy y said
Ragbag, growing excited. swell, them
dogs met, and if one of 'em had been a tom
cat they couldn't been more unfriendly."
did they fight, boy p "Did they! Well,
1 should say they did. Folks came from
nine different directions on the run to see
EN-. They chawed each other all over the
street. First one one was on top and then
the other, and the way they howled and
groWled was a caution" '.And which licked,
boy ?" "Well, you see, young Symonds got
q club and sailed in to lick Gallagher's dog"
eyes, yes, boy !" cried .Rogbag, wild with
excitement. "Gallagher come along just
then. He was awfully mad. lie clinched
symonds. He hit Symonds, and Symonds
pulled his hair, and he chawed Symonds ear.
The dogs was fighting between their legs
and threw 'em. All four was in q heap and
having the awfullest time you ever saw when
q couple of policemen come along and stop
ped the fun. Id have called you to see it,
only I didn't know as you'd like" "Good
heavens, | missed that fight" yelled Ragbag.
He lay down upon a lounge and cursed and
swore and wept and tore his hair. 1t was too
tantalizing. And the boy was happy, though
he knew the lie would be found out and he
would get wolloped for it.-Boston Post.

A man in Omaha blew on a lung tester,

When an Austin schoolmaster entered his
temple of learning a few mornings ago, he
read on the blackboard the touching legend:
'Our teacher is a donkey" The pupils ex-

word ''driver' to the legend, and opened the
school with prayer as usual.

A New York correspondent says Jay
Gould, the millionaire, leads Q hard life; has
mo leisure, no society, no reading, no recre-

Gould to enable him to take a few months

Deadwood women must have an exceed
ingly keen sense of humor. Last week q

officially shot at twenty-six times by that

ing over his PROSTATE form. When the de-
ceased was rolled up and sent home, bis wife
almost died laughing. She said the remains

The stolcn or Lost nond.

1t was stated at the Treasury Dtpar m ent yes
terday that the United Sta,cs bond which was
stolen or lost in the Regis ers Office, as mentioned
in Tuesdays Sar, was $1,000 blank per Gel t.
bond. 1t was not filled up to anybody, was not
signed by anybody, and was without the embossed
sal of the Treasury Department, which cannot be
counterfeited. It was, therefore, no more than a
blank check. Each denomination Of these bonds
has drawer to itself in vault, and the bonds nre
placed in the drawers in numerical order. and are
taken from the top as they are issued. The bond
which is missing should be at the bottom of the
drawer of is denomination, so there is no telling
how long ago the bond was abstracted or mislaid
1t was known month ago, however, that the
bond was missing. 1t is thought that II It was
