Entirely Willing.

John L. Sullivan was in the North station the other day and, seeing a little Irish baggage man coming along with a bicycle, squared off at him with that easy humor for which he is noted. The little chap, who didn’t weigh over 135 pounds, put up his free hand. “Wait on a bit,” he said, “till Oi lean me bicycle against the rail.” John L. was so tickled he tipped back his head and roared. Then he told the pygmy who he was.—Boston J ournal.
