JuIia's Boxing Gloves.

Two tall young ladies. with bright
compilations, went up Eighth street the
other day at as much of swinging gait
as their tight dresses would permit, and
went into glove store.
lin so glad of one thing, Julia, -
said one to the other. land that is that
undressed kid gloves are quite the thing
now. i was aWfully tired of those stiff,
shiny kid ones. They cramped your
hand, and weren't one bit warm. Then
one doesn't have to bother with so
many buttons. Two are plenty, and
there are seldom more than three"
The 6imples began to grow deeper in
the rosy cheeks Of the other girl as she
gave hysterical giggle.
Il agree with Won, Minnie she re-
piled, ''but like the undressed kid for
better reasons than these. You see, our
Teddy has just begun to go TO gymna-
SUM, and he's perfectly wild about box
ing. There's no one in the house for
him to practice ON but me and he's con-
stantly telling ME to put up my hands.
Heretofore I've had to handle him with
out gloves, but I can make a firstrate
fist in soft ones like these. just look at
Ihat!''
Then Julia giggled, Minnie giggled,
and the shop lady giggled. PhftadeE-

Cucle Archie Williams, colored,
makes grave charges against Marshal
White. Our leaders will remember Ehst
one OF Mr.. Williams sons borrowed q
pair of shoes from Mr.. Eskridge's shoe
shop, short time since. We use the
term borrowed" because Archie says,

Mr.. Williams says that Marshal White
came 70 his residence after his boy. and
he told the marshal that before he could
take the boy. he must produce and read
his warrant, this Mr.. White refused to do
and on old Arches insisting that
ne must, White raised his club IN q
threatening manner over Arches head,
whereupon Mrs. williams jumped be-
tween our brave city marshall y and her
someWhst antique husband and saved
him from a clubbing. After being res
cued by his wife. Archie called for his
axe In such lusty tones that Mr. White,
becoming frightened, read his warrant
and the article called ioE was gracefully
surrendered by Uncle and Aunty Will
liams. Il now transpires that our mar
shall arrested the wrong boy, had him
tried and sent to jail. The morning af-
ter Mr.. White called, Mr.. Williams and
wife learned that the mar
shall had the wrong boy. and
wishing TO correct the mistake brough
the guilty party to jail. gave him up u
justice, and he was placed in his broth

leased, although he was sentenced a

pale face.
Then she hurried away with her eyes
