CHAPTER I.
Trrrt boy with a lame back.
A young follow who la pretty smart on
general principles find who Is always In
good humor went Into a storo tho other
morning limping and neemcd to bo broke
up generally. Tho proprietor asked him
if ho wouldn't sit down, and ho said ho
couldn't very well, aa his back was lamo.
IIo seemed discouraged, and tho proprie
tor asked him what was tho matter.
"Well," said ho ns fio put Wb hand on
his pistol pockot and groaned, "there is
no encouragement for n boy to have any
fun nowadays. If n boy tries to play an
Innocent joke, ho gets kicked all over tho
houso." Tho storekeeper asked him what
haa nappenod to disturb his hilarity.
Ho said ho had played a joko on his fa
ther and had been limping over since.
"You seo, I thought tho old man was
a littlo spry. You know ho 1b no spring
chickon yourself, and though his oyes
nro not what they used to bo yot ho can
seo a pretty girl further than I can. Tho
other day I wroto a note In n fino hand
and addressed It to him, asking him to
meet mo on tho corner of Wisconsin and
Milwaukoo streets at 7:80 on Saturday
evening, and signed tho namo of 'Daisy'
to It. At supper timo Pa ho was all
shaved up and had his hair plastered
over tho bald spot, and ho got on Borne
clean cuiTb and said ho was f ig to tho
consistory o initiate somo candidates
from tho oiuntry, and ho mlglit not bo
In till lato. Ho didn't cat much supper
and hurried off with my umbrella, I
winkod at Ma, but didn't say anything,
At 7:30 1 went downtown, and ho was
standing thoro by tho postofflco corner
in n dark place. 1 went by hira and said,
Hollo, Pa, what aro you doing tuerer
Ho said ho was waiting for a man.
wont down street, and pretty soon 1
went up on tho othor corner by Chap
man's, and ho was standing there. You
seo, ho didn t know what corner "uaisy
was going to bo on and had to cover all
four corners.
"lie gave me a dollar."
"1 saluted him and asked him if he
hadn't found his man yet, and ho said
no; tho man was a littlo late. It Is
moan boy that won't speak to his Pa
when ho sees mm standing on a corner.
I went up street, and I saw Fa cross over
by the drug store in a sort of a hurry,
and I could seo a girl going by with a
waterproof on, but she stated right along,
and Pa looked kind of solemn, the way
he does when I ask him for new clothes.
1 turned and camo baok, and ho was
standing thoro in the doorway, and I
said: 'Pa, you will catch cold if yon stand
around waiting for a man. You go
down to tho consistory and let mo lay
for the man.' Pa said, 'Never you mind
you go about your business, and I will at
tend to tho man.
"Well, when a boy's Pa tells him to
never you mind and looks spunky, my
experience Is that a boy wants to go right
away from thero, and 1 went down streot.
I thought I would cros3 over and go up
tho other sido and see how long ho would
stay. Thero was a girl or two going up
ahead of me, and I seo a man hurrying
across from tho drug storo to Van Pelt's
corner. It was Pa, and as tho girls wont
along and nover looked around Pa looked
mad and stepped into the doorway.
was about 8 o'clock then, and Pa was
tired, and I felt sony for him, and I went
up to him, and asked him for half a dollar
to go to the Academy. 1 nover knew him
to shell ont so freely and so quick. He
gave me a dollar, and I told him I would
go and get it changed and bring him back
the half a dollar, bnt he said I neodn'i
mind the change. It is awful mean of a
boy that has always been treated well to
play It on his Pa that way, and I felt
ashamed.
"As I turned the corner and saw him
standing there shivering, waiting for the
man, my conscience troubled me, and
told a policeman to go and tell Pa that
'Daisy1 had been suddenly taken with
worms and would not be thero that even
ing. I peeked around tho corner, and Pa
and the policeman went off to get a
drink. I was glad they did, 'causo Pa
needed it after standing around so long,
Well, when I went home, tho joko was so
good I told Ma about It, and sho was mad,
I guess sho was mad at me for treating
Pa that way. I heard Pa come home
about 11 o'clock, and Ma was real kind
to him. Bho told him to warm his feet,
'cause they were just like chnnks of lea
Then she asked him how many they in
itiated In the consistory, and he said six,
and then she asked him if they initiated
Daisy' iu tho consistory, and pretty soon
I heard Pa snoring. In the morning he
took ma Into tho basement and gave me
the hardest talking o (hat ever had
wun a boa slat, ue said ho knew that
wrote that note all tho time, and he
thought he would pretonH that be was
looking for 'Daisy' Just to fool me.
"It don't look reasonable that a man
would catch eplzootio and rheumatism
just to fool his boy, does It? What did
he glvo me the dollar for? Ma and Pa
don't seem to call each other pet any
more, and as for me they both look at
me as though I was a hard citizen. I am
going to Missouri to take Jesso James'
place. There Is no encouragement for a
boy here. Well, good morning. If P
comes in here asking (or me,' tell him.
that you bt.w an express, wagon going to
a morgue wua tne retnama oi a, pretty
boy who acted as though ho dioa trom
concussion of n bed slat on tho pistol
pocket. That will mako Pa feel sorry.
Oh, ho has got tho awfulest cold,
though."
And tho boy limped out to soparato n
couplo of doga that woro fighting.
CHAPTEIt II.
TUE BAD BOY AT WOtlK AGAIN.
Of conrsonll boys nro not full of tricks,
but tho best of them aro. That Is, those
who nro tho readiest to play innocent
okes and who aro continually looking
for chances to inako Itomo howl nro the
most apt to turn out to bo first class busi
ness men. Thoro is a boy in tho Sovcnth
ward who is bo full of fun that some
times It makes him ncho. Ho is tho samo
boy who not long sinco wroto n noto to
his father and Binned tho namo "Daisy" to
It and got tho o'd mini to stand on n
corner for two l.'mrB waiting for the
girl. After that Bcrapo tho old man told
tho boy that ho had no objection to inno
cent jokes, such as would not bring ro-
proach upon him, and as long its tho boy
confined himself to jokes that would
simply causo pleasant laughter and not
causo tho flngor of scorn to bo pointed
at a parent ho would bo tho last ono to
kick. So tho boy has been for throo
wooks trying to think of sonio innocent
joke to play on his father.
Tho old man is getting n littlo near
sightod, nnd his teeth nro not us good as
they used to bo, but thoold man will not
admit it. Nothing that anybody can say
can mako him own up that his eyesight
Is failing or that his teeth aro poor, and
he would bet $100 that ho could seo as
far as over. Tho boy know tho failing
and mado up his mind to demonstrato to
tho old man that ho was rapidly getting
off his base. Tho old person is very font1
of macaroni and eats it about threo times
a week. Tho other day tho hoy was In n
drug storo and noticed in a showcaso n
lot of Binall rubber hoso about tho sizo
of sticks of macaroni, such ns Is used on
nursing bottles and othor rubber utensils.
It was whito and nico, and tho boy s mind
was mado up at onco. Ho bought a yard
of it and took it homo. When tho maca
roni wns cooked and ready to bo served,
ho hired tho tablo girl to help him play
it on tho old man. They took a pair of
shears and cut tho rubber hoso in pieces
about tho samo length as tho pieces of
boiled macaroni and put them in a saucer
with a littlo macaroni over tho rubber
pipes nnd placed tho dish at tho old man's
plato.
Well, we suppose if 10,000 peoplo could
havo had reserve Beats and seen tho old
man strngglo with the India rubber mac
aroni nnd havo Been tho boy's struggle to
keep from laughing thoy would havo had
moro fun than thoy would at a circus.
First tho old delegate attempted to cut
tho macaroni into small pieces, and fail
Ing he remarked that it was not cooked
enouglu Tho boy said his macaroni wns
cooked too tender, and Hint his father's
teeth wero so poor that ho would havo to
eat soup entirely pretty soon. The old
man said, "Nover you mind my teeth,
young man, and decided that ho would
not complain of nnytlnng again. Uo took
up a couplo of pieces of rubber and ono
ploco of macaroni on n fork and put them
in his mouth. Tho macaroni dissolved
easy enough and went down perfectly
easy, but tho flat macaroni was too much
for him.
Ho chewed on it for n minuto or two
and talked about tho weather in order
that none of tho family Bhould see that
he was in troublo, and when ho found
that tho macaroni would not go down
ho called their attention to something
out of the window and took tho rub-
ffecietced Ilfcco seminary girl chewing
gum.
ber slyly from his month and laid it
under the edge of his plato. Ho was
more than half convinced that his teeth
were played out, but went on eating
something else for awhilo, and finally ho
thought ho would just chalico the maca
roni onco moro for luck, and ho mowed
away another forkful In his mouth. It
was the samo old story. Ho chewed like
a seminary girl chewing glim, and his
oyes stuck out, and his face became rod,
and his wifo looked at him as though
afraid ho was going to die of apoplexy,
aud finally the servant girl burst out
laughing and went out of tho room with
her apron stuffed in her mouth, and tho
boy felt ns though it was unhealthy to
tarry too long at tho tablo, and ho went
out.
Left alone with his wifo tho old man
took the rubber macaroni from his mouth
and laid it on his plate, and ho and his
wife held an inquest over it. The wifo
tried to spear it with n fork, bnt couldn't
make any impression on it, and then she
saw it was rubber hoso and told tho old
rann. Ho wns mad nnd glad at tho snme
time glad because he had found that his
teeth wero not to blame and mad be
cause the grocer had sold him boarding
house macaroni. Then tho girl camo in
nnd was put on the confessional and told
all, and presently there was a sound of
revelry by night iu tho wood shed, and
tho still, small voice was saying: "Oh,
Pa, don't. You said you didn't care for
innocent jokes. Oh! "
And then tho old man between the
strokes of tho piece of clapboard would
Bay; "Feed your father a hoso cart noxt,
won't ye? Be firing car springs and
clothes wringers down mo next, eh? Put
somo gravy on a rubber overcoat proba
bly nnd 60rve it to mo for salad. Try a
piece of overshoe with a bono in it for
my beefsteak likely. Give your poor old
father a slico of rubber bib In place of
tripe tomorrow, I expect. Boil mo a rub
ber water bag for npplo dumplings pret
ty soon if I don't look out. There! You
go nnd split tho kindling wood." 'Twos
ever thus. A boy can't havo any fun
nowuuavs.

Antagonist Mollrlde Defeats Murphy
Iu Ten Hntlmls.
Conf.T Island, Aug. 8. Nover since the
Coney Island Athletlo club has been pull-
Ing oil pugilistic contests has such a tre
mendous throng gathered at their com
modious arena as the I'lorco-Dlxon bout
attracted last evening. It is estimated
that there were between 8,000 and 10,000
spectators In the building.
Jim Corbett, the champion heavyweight
pugilist of America, was given a great
ovation when he walked Into tho building
accompanied by Manager Brady and
(several othor friends. They were shown
to ouo of tho private booths.
Tho purse Murphy and O'Brien fonght
for was f 1,000, of which $200 went to the
low. Tho first bout opened in a tumult
uous uproar, the large audience yelling
GEOr.OE DlXOJf.
like mad men to those iu front to Bit down.
Hnnlly, at 0 o'clock, order being restored,
time was called.
At the outset Murphy forced the fight
ing. Both showed great clovorness, al
though Mclirido had slightly the advan
tage In hard hitting. Murphy showed the
most sclent I lie work, but McBrldo de
pended on his heavy blows. Iu the fourth
round Mac drew first blood by hitting
Murphy n swinging blow on the eye. A
second later honors wore oven In this re
gard, Murphy returning the compliment
by slashing Mac ou the nose. In this round
the lighting was fast and furious, and
when it ended blood was running from
the men in streams. From the fourth
round on Mac forced the fighting, but
Murphy responded promptly to the call of
timo nt the beginning ot each round. In
the tenth round Murphy put in some stiff
punches., but hu Imd waited too long, and
At the call of time the referee awarded the
light to McUride.
Promptly nt U:30 Tom O'Bourko entered
tho ring, followed by George Dixon, the
Boston colored boy, who not only won tho
featherweight championship by his won
derful ability, but has ably defended It
against all comers. lie was given a slight
ovation in recognition of his great ability,
but it was a mere nothing In comparison
with the storm ot applause which greeted
EDDIE P1ERCB.
Eddie Pierce when he marched down
through the hall from his dressing room
and climbed upon tho stage. It was a reg
ular pandemonium, as there were fully
twenty Pierce men present to one Dixon
admirer. It wns ten minutes of 10 o'clock
when the men began their great battle.
The purse they battled forwas f0,600, of
wmcu the loser receives $500,
the seconds of Dixon were Tom
O'Hourke, of New York, nnd Jack BTaver-
line and Morris Kelly, both ot Boston.
Tho men who looked after Pierce were
Charley Norton, Con Corcordan, Nlok
Dunn, John White and Sammy Kelly.
Mike Brashy had the time for Dixon and
Jim livclla for Pierce.
First Bound Dixon led with his left af
ter a little feinting nnd caucht Pierce in
tho wind. He visited the same spot again.
After some cautious sparring, in which
Dixon showed up to the best advantage.
the men clinched on the ropes, but broke
away oi their own accord. Dixon then
smashed him with his left and again with
his right. A clinch followed and Dixon
showed he was a good hand at the game of
infighting, and made Pierce break, his hold.
Dixou caught Pierce again and the round
ended.
Second Round After a short feint bv
Dixon, Pierce led lightly on Dixon's face
aud then ducked a right hand swing
cleverly. A sharp rally followed, of which
Pierce appeared to have the advanace.
Dixon endeavored to land Ids right, but
was met and stopped very cleverly. Pierce
appeared to nave gained confidence In him
self as the round ended.
Third Round Dixon sent in his left and
sent his man to the ropes. Dixon repeat
edly sent in right and left on Pierce's wind
and jtw and knocked Pierce silly. Ho
went aown aud out after repeated jabs on
tho jaw that would have settled a bigger
ami stronger man man Pierce.
It was the universal verdict that Pierce
was a softer mark than even Skelly. He
was clearly outclassed, and his aspirations
as a pugilist are forever settled. It took
nearly ten minutes to bring him to.
The very wildest kind of excitement pre
vailed alter tne name was over, and sev
eral free lights were started In different
parts of the house, but owing to the heavy
police force present the scrappers were
quickly separated. Pierce was In no re
spect the equal of Dixon and the majority
oi tne speotators went home feeling that
they had been buncoed into thinking
Pierce was a lighter by tho glowing press
accounts mat were published from day to
day lauding Pierce and his wonderful
ability.
Solly Smith, who recently defeated
Johnny Grlfllu, and George Dixon were
practically matched last nlulit. The nurse
offered amounts to $10,009, The contest
has been set for Sept. 36,
