The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1910-12-27


with anybody, so that mix l. bound 10
happen, I'm going to get the swift clutch
on a couple of half bricks or a pair Of
rocks and do the best business know how
with them-its one sure thing that m not
going to use any more OF the advice OF
these blamed IDIOTS who write about how
little man may thrash big man by scen
tific methods-how the merest puny midget
may put a gigantic piano mover out OF
business by employing Just a few rightly
executed punches. I've got nine coed and
plenty on several occasions by reading the
hasheesh cummings Of those fellows, and
hereafter I'm going to grab a hold OF the !
first hard thing that comes handy. and see
what ! can do.
Long about two years ago ] read GER !

ecution a certain little system The red
| haired pug said that all the little man had
to do, wnen he getting the worst OF
an argument from the big man, was to
snatch off his (the understood man - cap
with his left hand suddenly clap it over the
face of the big man, and then give the bag
man a swift punch in the stomach with the

whole repertoire of punches from the small

be in shape to stand over him like a ban
