THE KICKING KICKER.
The Boycott That Didn't Worlz-Is Life
 Worth Living?

''THEY DoYCoTT Us.-The fact that we have been running The Kicker pretty much as we pleased since the first number was issued has given mortal offense to certain people in this neighborhood. We have been kicked, licked, pounded, threatened, shot at and bluffed right along, and have grown fat on it.
 We came to stay.
 "Fact is, we've got to- We haven't any thing to go on.
 Having tried all other measures to make us let go, and having failed ingloriously in each instance, it was determined to boycott us in O social way. We have been chuck a. luck with the very cream of society since our advent. In fact, we have been most of the cream.
 ''It was decided few days ago by syndi- cate of the high toned that we must be so- cially snubbed and crushed. Accordingly Mrs Maj.

 ''We weren't saying 8 word. We saw the bluff and went one better On the night of the party the sheriff made haul of three high toned prisoners at the house of Mai.

We can run the other half out of town in Q week. Mrs. Maj. Bazoo has called to beg our pardon and express her deep dis gust with herself. We have forgiven her. knowing it will not happen again. As for Judge Cahoots, who inspired the boycott and set the crushing machine at work, we bear him no animosity. We will simply remark that he is bigamist, incendiary, embezzler, | forger, perjurer and highway robber, and we have dispatched Pinkerton to come and get l him.n
 ''Our amiable and gentlemanly sheriff en- tered our office day before yesterday in his usual urbane manner and announced that he must serve papers on us. It was notice of breach of promise suit against US by the widow Clixby, who alleges that we have been toying with her heart strings, and that it

 Ut is another move on the part of our en- emies to down us.
 "We first met the widow Clixby twenty eight days ago in Carter's grocery. She asked our opinion of herrings, and we asked hers of soap. She invited us to call at the house and see some poetry she had writter on the rise and fall of the mastodon. We complied We called there three or fnul times afterwards, but only as a friend.
