church, on whose broad steps there
gather each noon all the workmen
who may be employed in the neigh
borhood that day. Sometimes in that
al fresco luncheon room a hundred
laborers rub knees and exchange gos-
sip. One day, when good-sized
crowd was seated there eating, one
big Irishman suddenly clapped his
hand to his cheek, let out yelp Of
pain, and then swung his first into the
face of his neighbor on that side.
BY the time they were nicely mixed
up another workman squealed, grab
bed his ear-and punched the man be-
hind him whom he suspected. That
was two fights under way, and in five
minutes there were seven, with a
crowd of two thousand looking on and
