I had no sort o' trouble when I was doin' something that mebbe I oughtn't to have done, but the minute I start out to do a right thing I meet no end o' difficulties. But these are the obstacles that Satan always puts in the way of the righteous. I'm goin' to git this boss 'back to its owner, or know the reason why. Git up, there."

If my boss was to see the old red wool smoking-jacket I wear around the house, he'd fire me for burlesquing the business." "Well, of all the nerve! Let go my hand." "Didn't know I had it, little one." "And say, you give back that kodak picture you swiped off me yesterday. I don't give my photographs out promiscuous." "That little snap-shot of you? Nix, I will!

I believe he is a Boss, or a at any rate he's a bad one, as I know to my cost. Myself. And what are you going to do? Tinker. Do! you may well ask that; I don't know what to do. My poor wife and I have been talking of that all the morning, over that half-pint mug of beer; we can't determine on what's to be done. All we know is, that we must quit the roads.

'Frank, I'll do yez the honor of an introduction to Gin'ral Grant and Dan'l O'Connell. Open that door and compose your face before I'm obliged to break both of 'em. "'But I tell you, Mike, I can't, says the door man, lookin' scared. 'The boss is out, and you know "'WILL you open that door? roars the big chap.

Where did you get this dog, father? 'A man sold him to me this morning. Poor old Bob got poisoned. This one ought to be just as good a watch-dog. He barks loud enough. 'He should be. His mother is the best watch-dog in London. This cheese-hound used to belong to the boss. Funny him getting down here. We went into the house and had supper. And after supper we sat and talked.

Having thus disposed of some of the lad's words, he addressed a pointed question to the rest: "But how did you happen to call me mister? I thought boss was what you little New-Yorkers generally said."

The mob diluted the thought of Henry George and trod his proud and honest heart into the mire. Had he been elected mayor of New York, he could have done little or nothing for reform, for a mayor has only the power delegated to him by the ward boss and the genus heeler. Beyond this he can merely apply the emergency-brake by the use of the veto.

The oval specimens bore a resemblance to the shield of the Boeotians, having a small oval aperture at either side, apparently for the sake of greater lightness. They were strengthened at the centre by a circular boss or disk, ornamented with knobs or circles. At the waist it is confined by a cincture.

By stirring up the tiger, as the Professor approached, the boss provoked a striking exhibition of savage strength and ferocity in Finn. "Say, Professor," he said, with a smile, "what d'ye think of the latest? How does the Giant Irish Wolf strike you, as an addition to the domestic fireside? Sweet thing, ain't he? Couldn't you make him do some sentimental stunts with the Java love-birds, now?"

"If we hadn't had a real, simon-pure go-getter to boss the job," he drawled, "I reckon all the shooting I did wouldn't have cut any ice. Ain't that right, boys?"
