Il Fedthcrett Hero.

Bud sat on the fence with his hands
in his pockets, cycling his rooster with
the air of a connoisseur. To tell the
truth there We're two ROSTERS, but be-
tween Buds own pet and that ignomin-
ious little gray dominick which wasn't
. bit pure-bloodcd, there could be no
comparison. Buds rooster was at least
sthree-korters pure" for MIR. Hatchem,
who kept fancy poultry and possessed
an incubator, had openly acknowledged
the fact, though it must be confessed.
not without q secret pang of jealousy in
Buds opinion.
True, you couldn't be saWc of a fowl
Matched from o grocery store egg, but
still anyone who understood chickens
could guess that ROSTERS aristocratic
lineage at q glance.
Three-korters (for Bud rs yet had de-
cided upon no other name for him) was
indeed q fine bird, with his proud neck,
glossy red and yellow. plumage, magnif-
icent tail and many other marks of no.
bility.
His crow was deep and sonorous, es-
pecially at unexpected hours of the
night, when owing to u slight weakness
of the legs he fell off of his perch and
couldn't get back again. He had only
two defects which even the experienced
eye of his owner could detect. One
was his unwillingness to fight the domi-
nick, and the other his very peculiar
legs. As to the first Bud was putting
him through an elaborate course of
training, consisting chiefly in encoun-
ters with o looking-glass, which, it is
needless to say, always resulted in a tie.
But nothing could be done for those
ungainly legs. It really seemed, as
Bud said, as if all the one-korter impure
blood had settled in them.
On this particular afternoon while
Bud was still sitting on the fence his
~15-year-old brother Dick strolled out
and took o seat beside him.
"What do you suppose lumber legs is
trying to hold up that barn for? said
Dick pointing sarcastically to the roos-
ter which was leaning against the build
ing in o most de~precating manner.
Since his brother coldly refused to an-
swer this sally, Dick proceeded to fish
for the fowl with q grain of corn fastened
to a piece of string, but with very poor
success. The laugh which Bud raised
at his discontinue was shared by two
coarse-looking men who had silently up
preached from behind. To the aston
ishment of the boys they coolly climbed
the fence and entered the barn. But
their ~envious examination of that build
ing was suddenly ed by the

NTAGE FRIGME

Runnells, the American bareback
rider, was once travelling in the Vest
ern States with q theatrical and circus
company, when he was required, much
against his will, to take the part of an
absent super on the stage. Runnells
avowed that he could not act, but the
manager insisted that he must, point
ing out that he had nothing to do but
to run or the stage and exclaim in Il
threatening manner: "But should he
cross the bridge" This appeared
to be simple enough, but when the hap
less equestrian found himself upon the
stage, all he could say was, "The
bridge, the bridge. the bridget"
"Come off" screamed the manager
from the wings.
ayes, I will come off," shouted Run.
nells, in tones that were heard above
the laughter of the audience, "and, by
thunder, Til never go on again!"

WILL REGRET m.

The ex-postmaster at Ash Flat, .Ky,,
thus writes to President Harrison;
"You think you have done a big piece
of work in snatching the postoffice away
from me, but I want to tell you that
you'll regret it. I haven't been much
of q Democrat in the past; 1 was a han
kerer after a quiet life, and on more
than one occasion let q Republican con-
stable be elected, when one speech
from me would have turned the cleo
ton. But let me tell you, right here,
1 am going to whoop it up after this:
for while I am able to stir about, there
shain't be another Republican electedin
this Ineighborhood. Oh, you'll regret
it. Day before yesterday I met old
Darb Green. He voted for you. What
did I do when 1 met him? Did I, as I
have been in the habit of doing, say,
wy, how are you, Uncle Darb?' No
sir, L hauled off, knocked him down,
wallowed him in the road, tore his
shirt and wiped my feet on him. See
what you have done? Causing a friend
to get hurt is just as bad as if you had
hurt him yourself. Suppose I had met
old Darb just before receiving this
notice that snatched me from IN office
that I had learned to love. Wait q mo-
ment, and, letting my fancy play with
this supposition, I will draw you a little
picture.
Why, good morning, Uncle Darb.'
".Helloa, friend Bob, how are you
getting along?
First rate, Uncle Darb, and I am
delighted to see that you are in excel
lent health. How are Aunt Nancy and
the children?'
s.All we'll. Lige and Sally are COM
ing over to your house next Sunday
and eat dinner with you.'
Suppose you and Aunt Nancy come
with them?'
Well, if we can got off,
by the way, Uncle Darb. Ikilled
q sheep this morning, and have sent a
hind quarter over to your house,
vi am q thousand times obliged to
you, Bob. You are always doing some
thing Of that sort. Nancy was saying

FAIR BOXERS OF phil aDELpMI.d.
The proprietor of a well-known gym
nasium. who, during the winter months,
instructs in a very private way a class
of young ladies, all of whom would be
greatly disturbed to think that their real,
not ostensible. purpose IN learning calls
themes was known, was induced to talk
u little of his pupils the other day, and
gave some interesting details of his ex.
p%eriences. He is not altogether certain
that women would make the best use of
the science of boxing if they were to he
generally instructed in it. Zone day
not many weeks ago." said he, "a young
lady, who is among the ~cleverest I have
ever trained, came to me and said:
professor, can't / see how the heart
blow is done?"
"And she stood there with her hands
clasped behind her back, and her little
head peeking forward in such a pert
way that 1 could hardly keep from
anghing right out. She saw that I was
amused.
ooh, certainly; I will show you the
blow over the heart: but, remember it
is not considered a fair blow, and it is
certainly not for a lady to use."
"She is o little creature, weighing
possibly about ITO pounds, and she is
lightning with her fists. I explained
that she must use the right hand and
deliver on the lower ribs on the right
side. She smiled and looked at me for
o moment and then she inquired:
will it really kill a man, Professor,
to hit him there?"
1t may not kill, when those little fl SITS
of yours are the aggressors." 1 said,
"but it is a dangerous blow at the best,
and should never be used. A knife
wouldnot be more fatal to some people
than this blow"
"She was quiet after receiving my
caution. Some time later ] entered the
practice room again to see how the class
was progressing, when Off in one corner,
1 observed q pair of girls boxing. One
of them was my inquisitor, and I was
astonislled to notice that she was
pounding away ut the other girl among
the small ribs on the left side. I went
over and taking her by the arm, swung
her roughly to the middle of the floor,
asking what she meant by disobeying
me. The tears came to her eyes and.
she sobbed out:
I-was-only try-ing-to see-if I
could kno-no-ck her out"
"'You little fiend!r 1 exclaimed.
what do you mean? To kill the girl?'
OF course I at once suspected and I
afterward learned as q matter of fact
that the unfortunate victim was my lit
tie lady's rival. So much for jealousy.
II think" added the professor, "that
if eve women invade the prize ring,
which heaven forbid, we shall hear of
more fatal encounters than now, for the
average woman is far less considerable
than a man, They take q keen delight
in inficting punishment, and yet tho
sight of blood will unnerve the bravest
of them. While men in gymnasiums
don't mind q mark Or q bruise, it is al
together different with q lady, and they
have to be handled very carefully, Just
like SO much bric-a-brac you Know
