“What’s the matter, Tom—is yer engagement off?”

Boy (in background, to chum): “Why don’t yer go an’ knock de stuffin’ out un yer rival?”
Chum: “I’ll tell yer why. Did yer ever see him fight? I have.”
MEN WERE DECEIVERS EVER.
Lopez Donovan (putting his face under cover): “By de holy smoke! if it ain’t my fiancee, Loriena Brady. W’ot will she do w’en she finds out dat my heart is marble an’ I’se t’rown her down for de little angel w’ot I’se a-pullin’?”
