That Bad Boy.

"When pa and / got to Chicago"
said the bad boy, eve walked around
town all day, and went to the stores,
and at night pa was offul tired, and
he put me to bed in the tavern and
went out to walk around and get rested.
l wasn't tired, and / walked around
the hotel. / thought pa had gone to
the theatre, and that made me mad
and thought / would play him for
all / was worth. Our room was 30
and the next room was 212, and there
was an old maid with Scotch terrier,
occupied 212. / saw her twice and
she called me names, cause she
thought l wanted to steal her dog.
That made me mad at her, and so |
took my jack-knife and drew the tacks
out of the tin thing that the numbers
were painted on, and put the old
maids number on our door and our
number on her door and then / went
to bed. 1 tried to keep awake, so as
to help pa if he had any difficulty,

woke up when the dog barked. If

What He Would DO.

1t was in the smoking car on the
New York Central. There was one
chap who was clustering great deal
and telling of how many duels he had
fought, and behind him sat small
man reading magazine.
"Sir," said the big man wheeling
around, "what would you do if chal-
lenged ?"
"Refuse," was the quiet reply.
"Ah! | thought as much. Refuse
and be branded as a coward What if
gentlemen offered you the choice of
a duel or public horse-whipping-
then what ?"
"I'd take the whipping"
"Ah-I thought so-thought so from
the looks of you. Suppose, sir, you
had slandered me p

"Then, sir, suppose a man had cool
ly and deliberately insulted you; what
would you do"
"Pd rise up this way, put down my
book this way, and reach over like
this and take him by the nose as | take
you and give it a three-quarter twist
Just J"
When the little man let 90 of the
big mans nose, the man with the white
hat on began to crouch down to get
away from bullets, but there was nc
shooting. The big man turned red
then pale-then looked the little man
over and remarked:
"Certainly-of course-that's it ex'
actly."
And then conversation turned on
the general prosperity of the country

he had been drinking. He says every
body drinks when they go to Chicago,
even the minister. Pa looked at the
numbers on the doors all along the
hall till he found 210, and walked
right in and pulled off his coat and
threw it on the lounge where the dog
was. The old maid was asleep, but
the dog barked, and pa said "That
cussed boy has bought a dog!" and
he kicked the dog and the old maid
woke up and said, "What is the mat
ter pet?" Pa lafied and said, "Nuthin'
the mazzer NTH me, pet" Then you
ought to have heard the yelling. The
old maid covered her head and kicked
and yelled, and the dog snarled and
bit pa on the pants, and pa had his
vest off and his suspenders unbutton-
ed and he got scared and took his coat
and vest and went out in the hall, and
| opened our door and told pa he was
in the wrong room and | knowed it,
and he came in our room and | locked
the door, and the bell-boy, and the
porter and the clerk came up to see
what allied the old maid, and she said
a burglar got in her room, and they
found pas hat on the lounge, and they
took it and told her to be quiet and
they would find the burglar. Pa was
so scared that he sweat like every
thing and the bed was offal warm,
and he pretended to go to sleep, but
he was wondering how he could get
his hat back. In the morning told
him it would be hard work to explain
to ma how he happened to get into
the wrong room, and said it wasn't
necessary to say anything about it to
ma. Then he gave me five dollars to
go out and buy him new hat, and
he said | might keep the change if l
would not mention it when l got home,
and | got him one for ten shillings,
and we took the o'clock train in the
morning and came home, and / s'pose

fit pas hat onto a burglar. Pa SEEM
