NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Big
Tim Sullivan, recently returned
from a trim abroad, is telling a
story of ring battle he saw In the
East End of London, the princi-
pals being an Irishman and a ne
gro. The referee was also an
Irishman. In the very first round
the colored fighter landed a wal
lop on the Irishman's jaw that
sent him to the floor with an aw-
full crash. The battle seemed to
be over. The referee began, to
count:

get up out o. that. Ye're as good
as two dead men!)

steadily since that time.
There have been but three APP

So the monolog continued,
while the groggy fighter fee'bly
tried to raise himself, and
the negro stood by, wondering If
the count of 10 would ever come.
At last, as the referee fingered
on the final count, the Irish pugil-
list staggered to his feet, swung
wildly at the unguarded negro,
and knocked him down. Quick as
a flash the referee turned to the
colored man. and counted:

LIKE "EASY MONEY"
AMATEUR BEGGAR'S HARD LUCK
STORY WON.
But Perhaps If He Really Had Been
Hungry His Nerve Would Have
Failed Him at the
Critical Stage.

After turning down an uncouth looA
ing stranger who expressed his desir
for the price of a meal, John A
Thompson continued thoughtfully OF
his way.
Must be embarrassing to ask a maj
for a dime and get turned down,
unused John. THAT poor fellow didn'
know how to put up plausible story
'Tisn't so easy, mebby. Like as not
couldn't do any better"
These thoughts led to still more
thoughts and the first thing John knew
he had determined to find out If he
could tell hard luck story that would
get the money.
Slowly and with measured stride, he
strolled on down Superior avenue. He
had decided to watch and prey, and
keep on watching until he sighted his
prey.
BY and by, well-dressed man, va
lise in hand, whom John felt sure was
total stranger to him, came walking
briskly along.
John Thompson stopped him. "You
doubtless have just finished a hotel
dinner" began John. II am hungry.
Were you ever hungry"
Il don't care to be cross-examined,"
returned the stranger tartly.
John WINGED slightly. Could the
stranger know that he made his living
cross-examining people? But he took
hold of the mans lapel and renewed
his line of talk. give got to have

with vehemence. I'm hungry. You
wouldn't stop to argue if you'd ever

been reared in the lap of luxury and

looks when you haven't even the price
of sandwich in your pocket"
"You seem like an intelligent fell
lew" remarked Johns victim, sizing
him up, curiously. you shouldn't
have to go hungry. There is work for
all in this world

John, "but it does not alleviate my
craving for food. My stomach has
been almost entirely depleted for "a

there no feeling of humanity in your
soul?'
