I cudden't stand it no longer, so I wint down town to-night, down be Shekel an' Whooper's place, an' bought these things. This is a fine doll f'r th' money." "It is," said Mr. Dooley, taking the doll and examining it with the eye of an art critic. "It closes its eyes, yis, an', bedad, it cries if ye punch it.

Before I could reply, Mr. Wright left the house, and hurried towards us. "Let me, in the first place, apologize for the rudeness of my servant, and, in the second place, thank you for punishing him as he deserves.
