AS MAN TO man.

The newspaper man stopped the
other day to listen to a discussion in
the court Of boyville and was much
edited thereby. Two boys. aged about
ten years each, were talking about the
same subject that takes up most of
the time # debate in the court of
kings-War, and the prOwess OF war
riors.
II tell you," said the towheaded boy.
that fellow is the best fighter in
fat. He's just big enough to fight
good. And he's quick. Gee! but he's
quick. And he can hit hard. Re-
member how he hit Skinny Lewis the
other day? Skinny lit on the back of
his neck"
The other boy. who was red headed
and freckled faced. could not offer
much in rebuttal of the above over
whelming mass Of testimony of the
fighting qualities Of the boy who was
not too fat. But he had cards worth
playing on the board. He said:
Yes, but I guess Sam Is the best
fighter in our room at school, but I'll
tell you a fellow you ought to know,
and that's Bill. His uncle was a spy
in the war and he was captured two
times and he killed a lot of men. Bill
told me about it and it's great to have
But the towheaded boy was not
greatly impressed. My grandfather
was in the war, too he said. And
he fought in twenty battles and he
was a captain and he was a awful
brave man..
Then these two boys went over the
wars together. mixing the Revolution
airy strife impartially with that of the
Rebellion. They agreed on everything
except the proposition of who was the
greatest fighter. General Grant or
Robert Fitzsimmons. They quarre1ed
hot int hut FINALLY 1nft Wif h
regret expressed that these famous
fighters had never locked horns in
personal combat with each other. By
that means, and that means only. the
boys agreed. could the question really
be settled beyond a doubt.
Then the towheaded boy shifted to
more recent wars. He had been to a
picture show the night before and he
told of the events he had seen thrown
on the screen. 1T was sure some
show" he said. IT don't believe any
of those General Grant battles was as
big as that one in the picture. Why.
every man was killed. The Indians
killed them all. only there was one
woman that pretended to be dead and
she saved her baby. 1t was terrible
fight. There was a lot more Indians
than there was white men. The In
dams attacked these white men in
their wagons with white covers" -,
The red headed boy evinced flatter-
ing interest and called for and re-
ceived many details of slaughter.
What was the other pictures
about" he asked.
"Oh, they was poor" replied tow
head. "They was one about a man
and a woman that had lot of trou-
BILE and then they went out one night
and set on a bench and the moon was
shining and they begun to hug and
kiss each other like everything"
Both boys expressed disgust over
this picture.
Then they got up off the curb
where they had been sitting and went
up the street to try to organize a little
game of ball. And as they walked
away fragment of their conversation
drifted back and 1t had to do with the
fight Of Buffalo Bill on the Little
Powder river.
All of which carried the neWsna ner
