Sam Jones as a Gouger.

Macon Letter to Philadelphia Times.
One day Sam, who was employed in
running an engine which was connect.
ed with an ore crusher at furnace
was much annoyed by those who fed
the cru1sher putting pieces OF stones
into the hopper, and throwing the
whole OF the machinery out OF gear
Sam declared very emphatically his
intention to knock the head off the
next man who did it. It was done
directly, and by n burly Irishman.
Sam seized hammer and knocked
the Irishman down. Next day Sam
was coming from his cabin and in an
open space, some distance from every
one, stood his antagonist of the preced-
ing day.
1Ye struck me Yesterday" said Pat;
"no mon ever strikes me onct who
does not strike me again"
"Now, Pat" said Sam, ''we are about
even. You did what | told YOU not
to do, and | knocked you as | said
would; / don't bear malice; let's drop
the matter"
A THREAT THAT PROVED EFFECT
UAL.
But the Irishman declared his de-
termination to have fight then and
there. The Irishman had only one
eye. Sam looked at him with perfect
GOODNESS.
"Pat," he said, al don't want to fight
you, l can't; you could whip me in o
minute; but tell you what will do,
you've got but one eye, and if you lay
your hand on me, sure rs you're living
| will gouge your eye out and you
YOU will be as blind as bat" ls
That settled it. Pat knew his man.
and muttering, @The mon that will
gouge is coward, /" left Sam alone.
