half was worse than your friend Crow
martin He had grudge against me
for some trifling reason. He discov-
cred that / can't stand the music OF a
violin ] don't understand il myself,
but violin music is torture to me.
Well, he at once got an old fiddle and
he'd sit and play it for hours. until
I was frantic and my reason began to
totter on it's. throne.
Il went to that man and argued
with him and begged him to cut out
the music, and he just laughed at me-
tried to have him arrested. but there
was no law against mans playing
the fiddle in his own house. l studied
the matter over and finally came to
the conclusion that my only hope lay
in doing him up by his own method
There was a wide hall separating
the two parts of the house Half OF
it was supposed to belong to me and
the other half to my neigihbor. After
consulting a lawyer and finding that
had the right to do it, l established
a shooting gallery in my half of the
hall and invited my friends to come
and improve their Workmanship.
1--WE kept our rifles cracking away
day and night. That man with the
fiddle came over on his knees and
begged me to let up. He and his fam :
lily had their ears plugged with cot
ton for two weeks and got so nervous
they'd jump ten feet at every report.
When he had his lesson learned by
heart I closed the shooting gallery,
and after that he was a model neigh
Dor and a good friend.
AN old aunt came TO visit me one
time and. she liked the place so well
that she made up her mind to stay for
good She had tongue that never
rested and she was driving my wife
crazy. She was mean and cantank-
erous and simply wouldn't leave
discovered that her pet detestation
was cats, so l began buying cats at
five cents each, and the place was
soon sWarming with them. She last
ed about a week after the plague of
cats was inaugurated."

simmons assaulted corbett. who but
Mrs. Fitz stood by, with Dooley listen
ing These are the words Dooley heard
from that devoted wife: "Nfver mind
his head, Bob, Cave in his slats.''
Now, sentiment is a precious thing.
1t is getting rarer every day, and the
Clerk grieves to see such great, big,
whacking chunks of it used up by pu-
gilism therefore, we take the per-
sonal element out of pugiiisnl- Then
might we release the sentiment also
Nor is the personal element so essen
tial to prize fighting. In an age like
ours can't ii be done by machinery ?
