MRS BLAKEwELL's LITTLE CHILD.

Everybody says the same thing, and
from the unanimity of opinion of the
doctors and the people, we are assured
that this great and widely known RENE
dy is just what our sick and suffering
citizens require to restore them to health.
All the doctors say that it does cure,
and all poor sufferers from nervousness,
weakness, poor blood, debility, stomach,
kidney or liver troubles should give it
an Immediate trial. Ii is purely vege-
table and harmless. Take it yourself
and give it to your children. 1t will
cure.
1t is endorsed by physicians because
it is the discovery and prescription of
the famous DR.. Greene, of 81 Temple
Place, Boston, Mass, the most success
full specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases. The Doctor can be
consulted free, personally or by letter.

Finally, at 8 o'clock, order being restored,
time was called.
At the outset Murphy forced the fight
ing. Both showed great cleverness, al
though Mcbride had slightly the advan-
tage in hard hitting. Murphy showed the
most scientific work, but Mcbride de-
pended on his heavy blows. In the fourth
round Mac drew first blood by hitting
Murphy a swinging blow on the eye. A
second later honors were even in this re-
gard, Murphy returning the compliment
by slashing Mac on the nose In this round
the fighting was fast and furious, and
when it ended blood was running from
the men in streams. From the fourth
round on Mac forced the fighting, but
Murphy responded promptly to the call of
time at the beginning of each round. In
the tenth round Murphy put in some stiff
punches, but he had waited too long, and
at the call of time the referee awarded the
fight to Mcbride.

CHAPTER /.
THE BOY WITH A LAME BACK.


A young fellow who is pretty smart ON
general principles and who is always in
good humor went into store the other
morning limping and seemed to be broke
up generally. The proprietor asked him
if he wouldn't sit down, and he said he
couldn't very WELL as his back was lame.
He seemed discouraged, and the proprie-
tor asked him what was the matter.
"Well, said he as 10 put his hand on
his pistol pocket and groaned, "there is
no encouragement for boy to have any
fun nowadays. If boy tries to play an
innocent joke, he gets kicked all over the
house." The storekeeper asked him what
hau happened to disturb his hilarity
He said he had played joke on his fa-
ther and had been limping ever since.
"You see, thought the old man was
a little spry. You know he is no spring
chicken yourself, and though his eyes
are not what they used to be yet he can
see a pretty girl further than 1 can. The
other day | wrote note in a fine hand
and addressed it to him, asking him to
meet me on the corner of Wisconsin and
Milwaukee streets at 7;90 on Saturday
evening, and signed the name of Daisy
to it. At supper time Pa he was all
shaved up and had his hair plastered
over the bald spot, and he got on some
clean cuffs and said he was p g to the
consistory 20 initiate some candidates
from the country, and he might not be

winked at Ma, but didn't say anything.
At 7:30 went down town, and he was
standing there by the postofice corner
in dark place, went by him and said,
Hello, Pa, what are you doing thereY
He said he was waiting for man. l
went down street, and pretty soon l
went up on the other corner by Chap
mans, and he was standing there. You
see, he didn't know what corner Daisy
was going to be on and had to cover all
four corners.

EDDIE PIERCR

Eddie Pierce when he marched down
through the hall from his dressing room
and climbed upon the stage. 1t was a reg
ular pandemonium, as there were fully
twenty Pierce men present to one Dixon
admirer. 1t was ten minutes of 10 o'clock
when the men began their great battle.
The purse they battled for ewas $500, of
which the loser receives $780,
The seconds of Dixon were Tom
O'Rourke, of New York, and Jack Haver-
line and Morris Kelly, both of Boston.
The men who looked after Pierce were
Charley Norton, Con Corcordan, Niok
Dunn, John White and Sammy Kelly.
Mike Brashy had the time for Dixon and
Jim Lavells for Pierce
First Round-Dixon led with his left af-
ter little feinting and caught Pierce in
the wind. He visited the same spot again.
Alter some cautious sparring, in which
Dixon showed up to the best advantage,
the men clinched on the ropes, but broke
away of their own accord. Dixon then
smashed him with his left and again with
his right. A olinch followed and Dixon
showed he was a good hand at the game of
inhghting, and made Pierce break his hold.
Dixon caught Pierce again and the round
ended.
Second Round-After a short feint by
Dixon, Pierce led lightly on Dixon's face
and then ducked right hand swing
cleverly. A sharp rally followed, of which
Pierce appeared to have the advantage.
Dixon endeayored TO land his right, but
was met and stopped very cleverly. Pierce
appeared to have gained confidence in him
self as the round ended.
Third Round-Dixon sent in his left and
sent his man to the ropes. Dixon repeat
edly sent in right and left on Pierce's wind
and jaw and knocked Pierce silly. He
went down and out after repeated labs on
the jaw that would have settled bigger
and stronger man than Pierce.
1t was the universal verdict that Pierce
was softer mark than even Skelly. He
was clearly outclassed, and his aspirations
as pugilist are forever settled. 1t took
nearly ten minutes to bring him to.
The very widest kind of excitement pre-
vailed after the battle was over and sew
eral free fights were started in different
parts of the house, but owing to the heavy
police force present the scrappers were
quickly separated. Pierce was in no re-
spect the equal of Dixon and the majority
of the spectators went home feeling that
they had been buncoed into thinking
Pierce was a fighter by the glowing press
accounts that were published from day to
day lauding Pierce and his wonderful
| ability.

Johnny Griffin, and George Dixon were

Der slyly from his mouth and laid it
under the edge of his plate. He was
more than half convinced that his teeth
were played out, but went on eating
something else for awhile, and finally he
thought he would just chance the maca-
roni once more for luck, and he moved
away another forl1ful in his mouth. 1t
was the same old story. He chewed like
a seminary girl chewing gum, and his
eyes stuck out, and his face became red,
and his wife looked at him as though
afraid he was going to die of apoplexy,
and finally the servant girl burst out
laughing and went out of the room with
her apron stuffed in her mouth, and the
boy felt as though it was unhealthy to
tarry too long at the table, and he went
out.
Left alone with his wife the old man
took the rubber macaroni from his mouth
and laid it on his plate, and he and his
wife held an inquest over it. The wife
tried to spear it with fork, but couldn't
make any impression on it, and then she
saw it was rubber hose and told the old
man. He was mad and glad at the same
time-glad because he had found that his
teeth were not to blame and mad be-
cause the grocer had sold him boarding
house macaroni. Then the girl came in
and was put on the confessional and told
all, and presently there was a sound Of
revelry by night in the wood shed, and
the still, small voice was saying: "Oh,
Pa, don't. You said you didn't care for
innocent jokes. Ohr'
And then the old man between the
strokes Of the piece of clapboard would
say; Feed your father hose cart next,
won't yer Be firing car springs and
clothes wringers down me next, eh2 Put
some gravy on a rubber overcoat proba-
bly, and serve it to me for salad. Try a
piece of oyershoe with bone in it for
my beefsteak likely Give your poor old
father a slice of rubber bib in place of
tripe tomorrow, Iexpect Boil me rub

ever thus. A boy can't have any fun
