A DRUMMER'S BLACK EYE.
1t Created for Him No End of Annoyance
nd


1t Created for Him No End Of Annoyance
| and Vexation.
Lemme tell you something, said the
drummer as he slowly caressed the
bandage which held the piece of raw
/ beef tightly over his right eye and got
| his right knee up where he could clasp
both hands around it. You may have
whisky nose, boil on your neck, a
hat out of style, pair of bowlegs, or
the mark of Cain on your brow. but
nothing gives you away like black
eye. In the first place, it is something
you can't conceal. In the next, every
man forms an opinion as to how you
got it, and all your talk only makes
him smile the more. Are you ION" to
that fact?
| The interviewer pulled out his pock-
.t-glass and looked to see If his eyes
we're all right and answered that he
tumbled.
You see, continued the afflicted,
have to take a certain amount of exer-
else with the clubs every night before
retiring. Doctor recommended it for
my lungs, you know, and carry clubs
in my trunk. Expands the lungs,
braces up the spinal column, and
strengthens the arms and shoulders.
| You follow me, presume?
He was assured that he was fol.
lowed, and after wiping sympathetic
tear from his right eye and heaving a
heartfelt sigh he said:
Last night, while | was practicing as
i usual with the clubs, | accidentally
hit the bedpost with one of them and
+, it flew up and hit me in the eye. The
clerk of this hotel knew that | was in
my room, and that it was my habit to
practice, and yet when came down to
ask him for bit Of raw beef he smiled
and shook his head and asked
how long I lay unconscious, and
whether / had the fellow ar
rested. / had to go out and
hunt up butcher shop, and as the
butcher cut me off a piece of round he
inquired whether it was an uppercut
or a straight blow and where landed
when / countered. / met five Or six Of
the boys when l came back to the
hotel, and despite all I could say each
and everyone would have 1T that had
been slugged. Can you realize the
painful position a man with black
eye is placed in?
The interviewer said he could, and
after the bandage had been tighten ed
a little the drummer remarked: :.
My time is limited and | can't stop
work for black eye. | generally put
in three days in Detroit, but tomorrow
! leave for Grand Rapids. | have got
as much nerve as the average man, but
/ can't stand the pressure. Here is my
notebook, and here are few of the in
teresting inquiries and observations
called out during the day:

has been their desire, for some time, to

Monday afternoon afforded the long-sought
opportunity, and for purse of $40 it was
agreed to trot, best two in three. The
course was from opposite Murphy's tobac-
co barn on the Brattleboro road to the
band stand. in the first heat Mooney
started 80 PAGES in the rear, and at the
end of the heat was left considerably more
than that distance behind. In the second
heat Fuller started last, and, it is said, was
prevented from passing Mooney only by
the depth of the snow. Odds were two to
one on Mooney. We predict another con-
test soon.
