Some Climate!
It Is a natural law in California, es
pecially in the southern part of the
state, that folks grow young Instead of
old. Every time a rose fades in this
■weet land its color finds its way into
the cheeks of some visitor from the
east who has come here to seek the
health which only a clime like this can
give.—Los Angeles Times.
"A Heart Bowed Down," Etc.
A teacher In a Boston public school
received an examination from a little
girl of ten years, who wrote beneath
the questions she had answered:
"If some of these questions are
wrongly answered it will be because I
have troubles of which the great world
neither knows nor cares, therefore ex
1 cuse wrong answers."—Exchange.

Learning In
The Fists
By RICHARD MENKJLEY
* »
As a little fellow I wasn't very
strong. i hud the measles and the
scarlet fever anil all kinds of chil
dren's diseases. Any boy of my age
could lick me very easily.
When I was about eighteen years old
a feller come round glvin' boxin' lee
sons. I went to see him give a lesson
—it was in a barn—and I was mighty
tickled the way he polished off some
o' the big fellers that he was teachin'.
He wasn't big himself, though he was
wiry; there wasn't any knotty muscles
standin' out on his arms and legs; they
was jist good ordinary arms and legs.
As for length, I reckon he measured
about five feet six in his stockln's.
i It was all in the way be done it ▲
feller who could throw a hundred
pounds o' hay up into a loft on the
end o' a pitchfork would make a lunge
at him that if It had hit him square
without gloves would 'a' made jelly of
him. But the little man wasn't there
to be hit. Before the big oue could
git back into position he got a blow on
the jaw.
I persuaded dad to give me the mon
ey to take boxin' lessons, and after a
| dozen lessons 1 was the l>est boxer in
the county. What made me stuck on
it was that I was a little feller with no
great muscle, and after I'd learned to
box I was cock o' the walk. None o'
the big ones who took lessons could
down me. The reason for this was
that I was mighty spry, and I could
tell by watchin' the other feller's eye
jist what he was goin' to do next
One day dad says to me, saya fee:
"Josh, you've got a lot of learnln* In
yer fists. I reckon you'd better git some
in yer head. There's a young woman
opened a schule over to the oroaaroads;
you better larn somethin' about readin',
writin' and 'rithmetic."
I thort I was too old to go to schule,
but when I got there I found the schol
ars was mighty mixed. There was
scholars all the way from twelve to
twenty-four years old. The schulemarm
was a young thing weighin' about a
hundred pounds and not more'n eight
een years old. The first few days
things went mighty quiet, but after the
novelty wore off some o' the big fellers
begun to get tired o' behavin' thelr
selves and showed a disposition to do
purty much as they pleased. When
teacher told 'em to stop talkin' to each
other durin' schule hours they'd stop
for awhile, but it wasn't long before
they were at it again.
John Whittaker began ticklin' Sam
Talifer with a feather, Sam slttln' in
the desk in front of John. Teacher
told John to stop. lie did, but In a
few minutes begun agin. This time
when teacher told him to stop he kept
right on.
I held up my hand, lettin' on I want
ed to speak.
"What is It, Josh?" asked teacher.
"Please, teacher, kin John Whittaker
and me take a recess?"
She looked at me, and John looked
at me, and we all understood one an
other.
"If you wish to be excused you may
go out," she said to me.
"How about me?" asked John.
"You mar be excused too."
John and I went outside, and as soon
as we got there he says to me, says
he, "Reckon you want somep'n o' me."
And I says, says I: "Reckon I do. I
want you to agree to behave yourself
in schule. What d' ye mean, a great
hulk like you settin' yourself up agin
a little gal like that?" "It's none o'
your business," he says. "I'll make it
my business," I says, and before he
knew what had happened he wan
sprawlin' on the ground.
He got up and come for me like a
I mad bull. But what eould he do? I
was never where he struck at, and
I when I aimed a blow at him he wag
' always there. The second punch I
give him was in the nose, and the
blood bothered him. The third was
in his left eye and closed it up. There
wasn't anything tepder about him, and
I was obliged to take him under the
jaw with all my might to put him out
o' the fight
While we was at it I caught sight o'
the winder* of the schulehouse, and
they was full o' the scholars. I reckon
ed teacher couldn't keep 'em at their
lessons while there was somethin' so
much more interestin' goin' on outside.
Some o' the older scholars came out
to watch the proceeding and stood
around wonderin' how such a little
shaver could knock about a great hulk
of a feller jist as if he was a bag &
sand. When I tuk John under the jaw
I knocked it out o' plumb. He got up
slow, but he didn't come for me ag'in.
Holdin' on to his cheek, he went off
to a doctor to get it put in place ag'in.
Tlie rest of us went back to our
schule wcrk. Nobody made any dis
turbance. Oncet two fellers started to
whisper, but I Jist tbrowed a glance
their war. r-nd it had the same effect
as if I'd throwed a stone. They stop
ped right away.
When schule let out teacher she beck
oned me to lag behind, and I did. She
flrtt tty hand and squeezed it, but she
didn't say notbin'. I reckon she feel
so much she couldn't talk.
"Don't you worry about the scholars
behavior," I said. "They won't get
! cuttin' up no more."
"I don't think they will," she salcf,
"so long as I have such a sergeant-at
arms to keep order."
John Whittaker didn't come back to
schule any more, and the other big fel
lers didn't make anv disturbance. I
i didn't get much l'arnin'. I reckon tt
was 'cause I had to watch the scholars.
Anyway, it wasn't teacher's fault.
