The advent OF the Slayin-Mitchell
combination OF prize fighters in New

torted Mitchell, zen ! kin be q gentle
man as eny gentleman ever was, too.
you can't be anything OF the kind
aud l wouldn't sit I'm the box with you,

you talk like that 20 Charley. He's a
gentleman, and want you TO shake his
hand and treat him right"
