AN INDIGNANT MESSENGER BOY

The unusual spectacle of a messenger
boy running attracted the attention OF
large crowd at Twenty-third street
and Eight avenue yesterday. A motor
man on an east bound Twenty-third
street car was SO fascinated by the
sight that he forgot to ring his bell
and the boy was run down.
Shrieks of horror arose from the af-
frighted spectators as the car, grind
ing and groaning and striking fire
from the brake shoes, slid along 20 feet
before coming to a stop. The boy had
disappeared. Brave men shuddered as
they hurried forward to take the
mangled body from beneath the cruel
trucks.
He was such bright-looking little
fellow said sympathetic woman
who had seen the accident.
Just then a somewhat dilapidated
excessively indignant boy crawled
from under the car. He assured the
crowd that the car had never touched
him. and then he turned to the weep
ing motorman and conductor. who
were weeping for joy.
Say" he said, as he Strengthened
out his muddy uniform, adjusted his
cap, and searched himself for the tele-
gram ne had been carrying, "wotcha
mean be runnin' over kid dat way.

huh? | got notion to have de bot O.
yuz pinched."
He told policeman that he was
Johnny Gernon, IA years old, of 1875
West rwenty-third street, and then he
went away muttering all sorts of ven
geance against the motorman and the
conductor.-New York Journal.

heavy fall on the pavement below.

to the letter. Scores of reporters have
been obliged to put certain questions
to him or lose their places, but he has
invariably listened to them courteous

All of his public utterances take the
form of comments or speeches in the

She ponders DER 1t long, until

THE REAL HOE NAN.

Bowed by the weight of three score
years he leans.
And meditates, upon bale of hay.
This fellow is no brother to the OK,
Although he wears blue-denim over
alls
And smokes corn-cob pipe and chews
long green,
Expectorating on the new-mown hay.
Today he pauses, thinking of the past,
How thirty years ago he put his all
A wife and seven children and two
trunks
Full of cheap clothing, in a four-ox
rig
And left the rented farm in Illinois
To get prairie homestead in the west.
He travels once again the weary waste
OF almost endless geographic miles.
They told him very long would be the
way
1t panied him that the hills We're hard
to climb.
He sees again the bridge at Omaha,
The dollar that he paid to get across,
The homestead that he took soon after
that,
For is he not upon the homestead now?
Again he builds his humble house of
sod,
Without floor except the naked turf,
And with roof that hardly sheds the
rain.
But it was home, and love abounded
there,
And hope was high of better days to
come.
His motto was "Owe no man any,
thing"
And while twas hard betimes to get
along,
And little ones stayed in for want Of
shoes,
The old man kept his word-look at
him nowi
He owns more land than any man
about,
And every fruitful acre clear of debt
He owns large and roomy house OF
brick,
Great barn that hold a. hundred TONS If

And cattle on half thousand hills

His children and their children all ara
