m1ttS.
 I winds up again and lets my left do one way traffic stunt to his jaw. They was enough force be- hind that punch to knock over a dozen lamp posts and send him out to the customers in the sixth row. This guy musta had his jaw tough ened by eating restaurant steaks or something as all it did was to give him a headache. I swings again as the bell rings.
 Round Two-He meets me half way and starts tearing in with body blows and I clinches to save myself. We breaks. and he crashes left to the jaw which made my dental work rattle. especially the gold tooth which cost me ten berries, not counting the dentists labor. This guy had let me wear myself out in the opening frame and I'm having a harder time breaking through his guard than a flapper has threading a needle with every eye closed. I left jabs him weakly and he socks me with everything but the time keepers hat and coat.
 Someone hollers for me to raise my paws and block the blows. It was good advice but I didn't have enough strength to raise beard. A fast right to the beezer gives me a dizzy feeling like when I'm seasick and I'm wishing them poles which holds up the ropes would behave seemed like I was surrounded by a picket fence and each picket was wearing mitt, and using it. l was so weak and groggy that a breeze from an electric fan woulda knocked me over. The bell saves me.
 Round Three-I staggers outa my corner feeling as full of fight as a cat which has tumbled backwards off the second story veranda onto the cement sidewalk. The minutes rest didn't do me any good, what I needed was a weeks vacation. The customers was yelling for knock out. If they was yelling for me it wouldn't have done them any good as I was in no shape to even knock out a window pane. I makes one wild swing and misses. A right hook or something lifts me off my pins and as the canvas comes up to grab me I hears my own private band concert, complete with harp ing frogs and jazz saxophones.
 After the water pails was emptied over me and was able to recognize friends, they tells me it was a great scrap while it lasted and next time I'll probably be able to last five or six rounds (providing the other guy falls asleep or fails to show up). l tells them in plain English that they ain't gonna be any next time in the ring for me. Anyways I was glad they didn't ask me to enter a bull fighting arena.
 Yours most respectful,
 ANDY DALE.

Dear Mary Ann:

Dear Mary Ann:
 Last week fella from the lodge called and says they is gonna have an entertainment to raise money so they can get a few more dumbells for the gymnasium class and it's my turn to help with the program. I tells him I'll help by singing several songs but he says that even one would be too many, as he didn't want the kind of help that would keep the crowd away, but had ar ranged boxing bout which would be a drawing card. and had already borrowed some trunks and a pair of mitts for me.
 Being modest, I tells him that don't know any more about boxing than truck horse knows about jumping hurdles and I ain't anxious to collect any assorted body bruises. He wouldn't take no for an answer and says the bout will be held Saturday night and I've got couple of days for training, and suggested that l buy a package of Wrigley's chewing gum and run five or six miles after every meal etc.
 Saturday night came around as expected and they is big crowd on hand ot swell the funds for the dumbells. I climbs through the ropes and goes to my corner, feel ing kinda embarrassed on account of my white fighting trunks which is like appearing in public in one half pair of B. V. D.'s, and I looks around for the nearest exit, in case the string which holds them around me should break. and was wishing I had brought along a pair of sus- penders.
 The referee tells the customers that 'Kid" Bozo, Chats mel 145 lbs. net weight. will box "Battlin'" Oyster Chats the other guy) same weight, for the championship of the lodge.
 Round One-"Battlin' Oyster steps in and musses my hair with a left poke to the bean Without waiting to see whether I was hurt he sends over another to the same place. Then I gets mad and is for teaching him manners. I sails in with a straight right to the bread basket and follows it with wicked left. He clinches and We breaks. He hands me a couple of socks where I'm most likely to get heart failure and when I bounces from the ropes I puts over a left which bounces off his ivory, follows it with mean right to the chin, and then beats tattoo on his ribs with both

Illus trious.

When a fellow has succeeded, gain
ing all the fame he's needed, piling up
the shining rubles till they make q
noble wad, then his thoughts are
always turning with deep pathetic
yearning, to the town that was his
birthplace, to the old familiar sod.
SO at last, in pomp and splendor,
loaded down with legal tender, he
goes back to see the skyline of old
Punktown by the Moat, where he
sprung his childhood capers, peddling
milk and selling papers, shining
shoes and running errands, anything
to get a groat. In old PunktoWn
bands are playing and the orators are
braying, giving welcome to the native
who has scaled the shining heights;
as he makes a speech explaining what
great happiness he's gaining, every
gesture is applauded by the smiling
village wights. There are pretty girls
around him and the wreaths they
bear confound him, being tributes to
his greatness, to his merit and his
speaking sends his aging blood
a-streaking like hot electric current
through the fbers of his frame.
Here's a guerdon for the cleverl
Here's reward for stern endeavor, for
the long and wearing battle that the
winning man must wage; here's a
solace for the trials, for the pains and
self-denials which have left their
heavy burrows on the Croesus or the
sage. When ones native town grows
mellow giving welcome to the fellow
who departed poor and needy, and
returns with coin to strew, then the
subject of Its bounty yells across the
town and county, This is triumph,
this is glory, this makes all my
dreams cotne true!''
