HE WAS EXPERIENCED.


What wonder that Harold Hustleton
was proud and happy Had he not
won the heart and hand Of the fairest
and lovliest girl in the whole town?
Harold could scarcely believe in his
good luck. And as he sat by her side
and watched the evening star glimmer-
ing family above the orange flush
which marked where the sun had sunk
behind the hills he felt moved to ask
her the fourteenth question Of the
lovers catechism, !. e., How had it
happened that she had chosen him out
of all the men In her wide circle OF ac-
quaintances to be responsible for her
future happiness"
Surely she must have known better
fellows that ne was" he urged; richer
and handsomer and more athletic.
Why had she chosen him?'
"Oh, Harold, you mustn't be too mod
est" replied Ada, sshe gently pushed
back the hair from his forehead. You
have q great many traits which none
of my other friends possess. You are
so thoughtful of my welfare, so tender
and so considerable, so Obedient to my
slightest wish. / think It was those
things which first won me to you, and
l have never regretted it; for, Harold,
you are simply an ideal lover"
"Oh, my darling, you don't know how
glad | am to hear you say So eXclaim-
ed he, as he drew her near to him and
kissed her tenderly.
Yes, dear, and some day you must
let me meet her and thank her for max
ing you what you are" continued Ada.
Meet whom? My mother?' asked
Harold.
NO, Harold, not your mother" she
said, sweetly; Il want to thank the girl
who broke you in.'-Boston Traveller.
HE WANTS CORBETT WHIPPED.
Let us hope that Mr.. James J. Cor
bett will be soundly thrashed by Mr.
Robert Fltzsimmons. Mr.. James J.
Corbect has won one good fight from a
broken man. If he has done anything
else l am unaware of it, His fighting
since the fall of Sullivan has been
mostly done with his face. He has
been playing the American people for
suckers" for SO long they have
wearied of him. He has claimed to be
a fighter, but ne has done no fighting
He has invaded the already overcroWd-
ed profession of the talksters. We
have too many takers in the United
States without Mr.. Corbett. Mr.. Cor
bett Is a gentleman" We have it on
his own authority. He should there
fore be removed for at least long
enough for the sponge to be thrown up
in his corner. We might have too
many gentlemen like Mr.. Corbett
should he triumph over Mr.. Robert
Fitzsimmons, the antlpodal anthropoid-
marsupial.
Should Mr.. Corbett triumph in his
engagement with MT. Fitzsimmons
nothing will prevent him continuing
his endeavor to elevate the stage.
Should he get the stage up to his sub
lime ideal height the stage would be
"out of sight" Should Mr.. Corbett
win the forthcoming battle we should
be compelled to read his own account Of
it in the newspapers. Every consid-
Grafton of regard for ourselves and our
enjoyment of life prompts to an earnest
desire that the San Franciscan be
pummeled into oblivion.
Whats that? Fitzsimmons is no
better than Corbett? Oh, yes he is.
He doesn't lay any claim to being a
gentleman, and doesn't offend the peo-
pie who do not find 1t necessary to ad-
vertise their gentility. Mr.. Fitzsim-
mons IS just a fighter that fights. Mr.
! FitzsimmOns does not insult intelli-
gence by laying claim to it. It is a
patent fact that OF all ruffians Of the
ring COrbett is the most Objectionable
in his pretense to superiority to ruff
fianism. l hope that Mr. Fitzsimmons
will punch his pompadOur head into a
pulp and diminish its size 1t doesn't
affect my feelings at all that Mr.. Cor
bett is an American, for he is not even
a fair type of the lower American. Mr.
Corbett is slum-snOb. There is
more Of the gentleman in old John L.
Sulhvan's small toe than there is in
COrbett's entire anatomy, and he has a
! better standing In the affections of the
people who admire prize fighting than
Corbett can ever gain by his airs.
Here's hoping Mr.. Bob Fitzsimmons
will put an end to Mr.. jim Corbetts
| offensive gentlemanllness
