RARE JOY FOR A FIEND.
Mean Man Causes Mlx-Up Of Two
Messenger Boys.

Messenger Boys.
A small messenger boy ran down
Fifth avenue this morning, caroling a
blithesome tune, his small heart at
peace with all the world Some thirty
feet behind him sped a second boy,
likewise at peace with all creation,
and whistling as he trotted on. Upon
the sidewalk stood heartless man,
nibbling a large apple. and apparently
the last person in the world to pay
any attention to the doings Of mes
senger. The boys passed him, and,
with a malevolent grin, he raised his
hand. The half-eaten apple whizzed
through the air, passed over the head
Of the rearward boy, and smote the
leading lad full in the neck, and dis
tributing its core, pulp and seeds over
his shoulders and inside his collar.
With yell Of surprise and rage
the insulted youth whirled around,
and the second boy ran into him. The
apple-battered one let go fierce right
jolt upon the innocent lads visage,
and then they closed. For FIVE min
utes they battered each other all over
the sidewalk, while two kilograms
fiuttered in the trampled mud, and
the heartless man, holding his ribs to
prevent absolute demolition, howlea
