cided to Introduce Lavenia Oharmion,

phenomenon, 10 him as woman who
wished to learn boxing. Mccoy was de-
lighted.
"The meeting took place. and the
Kid told Charmion to take a position,
In which OF course she was very awk-
ward. That is picturesque, but not
alphabetically correct, he remarked,
with smile Of superior knowledge
Now, he said, IN she adjusted her
arms, let go with your left
at was chop blow and made the
air whiz, as the first attempt narrowly
missed the Kids face. He looked ap-
prehensive and remarked: You have
steam enough, but your execution IL
faulty. Now, hit out straight and let
your body go with the blow
1.-THE fist brought up suddenly at
about the third button Of McCoy's waist
coat. That Is better, gasped the Kid.
That will do for the fist lesson. Come
again tomorrow, and we'll try tho big
gloves.
Oh, how nice, said Charmion. DO
you know, never had but one chance TO
box with IA man. That was when fell
low tried to kiss me, and knocked him
down and broke his jaw with my boot

Sweet maid" or even to be- "cleveri"
do not ask for poets song,
For dreamer's tale, high gifts OF mind,
For orators eloquence rtghting wrong
Gifts all, no doubt, to you assigned;
do not ask for theories new,
Ones powers Of comprehension tasking,
For wisdom or for wit from You
There would not be much use In asltingl
! do not ask you for the gift
All other gifts 80 far above.
l will bo brave and make shift
To live my life without your love-
Not mine to play Il lovers part,
SO, though the omission IL distressing,
l do not ask you for your heart.
j only ask minor blessing.
l do not ask you when We meet
To condesccnd to notice me,
But when kind fate affords that treat
Pray bear in mind this modest plea:
do not ask you TO ait still,
Though In your chair you always wriggle
I'd have you do whato'or you will.
only ask you-not to gigglol
Punch.
