that I stove in tn ribs of tn Protest

They was a big crowd on tn peerary-
a bigger crowd than we cud get to go
f'r to see a prize fight. Both sides had
their frinds that give tn -colledge cries
Says wan crowd: Take an ak, an AK
an ak to thin. Hooroo, hooroo, bella
baloo Christyan Bro-others! an tn
other says: Hit thin, saw thin, gnaw
| thin, chaW thin. Saint Alo-ysiusl
| Well, afther awhile they got down to

! ures had TIL same effect on TIL la-ads
that nintion iw Lord Castlereagh d
I have on their fathers. Wan la-ad
hauled off an give a Ia-ad acrost firm
! him a punch in tn, stomach. His frind
acrost tn way caught him in tn ear.
/ The cinter rush iv. tn Saint Aloysiuses
! took a runnin jump at tn left lung iv

as I've seen a section hand lamp tn

was standin' back takin' no hand in
tn ARRAY. All iv a sudden he yive
a cry iv rage an jumped feet foremost
into tn pile. Down, says tn Umpire.
Faith, they are all iv that, says I.
Will liver they get up?' They will
says OF man Dorgan. 'Ye can't stop
thin, says he.
1t took some time FIR to pry thin
off. Near ivry man iv tn Saint Alloy
Siuses was tied il q knot around wan

lynn face down, with his nose in tn
mud. He's kilt says L I think he

Twas my boy Johnny done it, too"
says he. He'll be arristed fr murdher,
says L. He will not says he. There's
on'yi wan poliSman in town cud take
him, an he's down town dom tn same
f'r somebody, he says. Well, they
carried TIL corpse to tn side an took
