He Licked His Teacher.
But Chauncey Warson Had to Wait Twenty-seven Years and Try
Five times Before He Got Even For Flogging He Re
ceived In Little Red Schoolhouse.
Twenty-seven years ago Chauucey
Larson, then fourteen years old. took
a row that he would thrash Professor
Mont Cryder. A fortnight a so he made
food.
For twenty-seven years Warson has
waited his chance. Five times oppor
tunity has bren given him. aud the
fifth time he accomplished his pur
pose.
The fact that the two uieu fought a
desperate battle to settle an old grudge
la but an incident tt> the story. The
remarkable part of this is that Warson
perhaps is the ouljr lua'n who ever
made go?>l his threat to whip his
teacher.
Also the fact that they met under
peculiar circumstances aud nearly 3.000
miles from the scene of their earlier
combat adds interest to the affair.
Warson was the son of a well to do
farmer residing In Highland county. O.
He attended school at a little red
brick schoolhouse which had been de
risively named "Swamp college." Itj
tlie week," said Cryder. "We'll have a
Jolly week and tbeu settle It"
"No." remarked Warson. "I'm mar
ried now. and I dou't want to take any
black eyes home. I^et's fight Wednes
day."
So It was agreed. They ran around
the fair and the cltv for three day9
and Wednesday afternoon adjourned
to a vacant lot near Sixty-second
street and Kills avenue and fought.
Cryder beat Warson up so badly that
be forced lilm to <jult. Then they went
together to a drug store and patched
up their wounds and bruises and fin
ished the week in i>erfect friendship.
"I'll get you the next time." said
Warson.
"All right." remarked Cryder. "I'm
still In Omaha. Telegraph me when
you're coming, ami I'll be on hand."
In 1<!*: Warson. then at the head of
the company he had started to work
for as a hoy, was going west when he
decided to cet off at Omaba and whip
Cryder. lie wired from Kansas City.
Cryder met lilm at the station In a
WAKSON SHOT HIS RIGHT TO THE JAW.
whs there he received at the hands of
Professor Cryder a sound birching
which he thought undeserved. I-'rom
that day his great ambition was to
"get even."
Eight years later Chaiincev Warsou,
then traveling salesman for a Cincin
nati shoe house, met his old teacher
on the street In Omaha. Cryder did
not recognize the boy he had thrashed,
but Warson knew him. He advanced.
Introduced himself, and Cryder greeted
him cordially. Warson was a bit 111 at
ease. Finally he remarked:
"Mr Cryiler. some years ago, when
I was a boy. you unjustly punished
me."
'Tin sorry for that," said Cryder
earnestly. "I remember 1 whipped ev
ery boy I could lay hands on."
"I vowed then," 3aid Warson, "that
I would thrash you to even up the
score."
"Boys all do that." laughed Cryder.
"But I'm going to make good," said
Warson. "I made h solemn vow, and
I intend to keep It."
Cryder tried to persuade him that It
was foolishness, but the Warson pen
chant for keeping their given word
wits too strong.
"Well," s?Ul Cryder finally, "we can't
Pght here. Come up to my house, and
we'll get it over."
It was a grand fight. At the end of
at'our eight minutes Cryder lauded a
right on Warson's Jaw and put him
down aud out.
He helped his old scholar into the
house, they washed up, had supper to
gether. and Cryder was Warson's guest
at the theater that evening, They part
ed the best of friends, and as they sep
arated Warson remarked:
"I'll come back and whip you when
I think I can."
"Better come every time ytfu get In
town. Don't wait until you can lick
me? Just drop in any time."
Warson took boxing lessons, prepar
ed himself and exercised. The follow
ing year he made Omaha, but Cryder
was out of town, and it was not until
1893 that they met ngaln. That time
they met in Chicago during the World's
fair.
"Still want to lick me?" asked Cry
der.
"Yes." replied Warson. "I hate to
do it. but I gave my word that I would,
and I must."
"Well, let's put It off until the end of
??: triage. took him homo, anil the fol
lowing afternoon they fought in the
back yard.
Cryder wou. but it took him six
rouiiiis. anil Iwjih meu were very budly
beaten up.
Warson visited Cryder for several
days and i>erxtinded him to go with
him into the Yellowstone, where they
hail a week of sightseeing.
That was the last they saw of each
other until recently. Ten years had
passed. Crvder had rented n cottage
nt I.ong Beach. Cat., for the winter
and was staying there with his family,
lie was walking up the beach when he
saw a familiar figure on the board
walk. It was W arson.
War-on stoppe<! at the Cryder cot
tage .'<>.? several days. For obvious rea
sons neither mentioned to Mrs. Cryder
that they were going to tight to settle
their old grudge. They waited one
morning until Mrs. Cryder walked
downtown to do the shopping, taking
little H.irlau. the bnby. with her. Then
they went into the back yard, stripped
for battle.
For lifteen rounds they fought?
rounds of varying lengths, as they
were forced to guess at the length of
ti ii ? elapsed. Finally in the fifteenth
Cryder caught a stlfT left hand blow
on the Jaw. It staggered him, and he
clinched. Warson threw him Off and
swung bis right. Cryder. weak and
dizzy, parried and swung desperately.
? The blow lifted Warson from his feet
. and dropped him iu the sand.
In an iustcnt he was up and rush
ed. Cryder, still dizzy, covered his Jaw
! with one shoulder and hung on. Ills
straight left failed to drop Warson,
who kept driving In blow after blow,
but falling to land on the vital spot.
Slowly Cryder was forced Into the an
gle of the fence. lie tried to escape,
his foot slipped in the sand. Ills arms
j spread a bit to prevent a fall, nnd like
a flash Warson shot his right to the
jaw. and Cryder went down like a log.
Mr-- Cryder. returning at that In
stant. saw the blow and screamed. She
stood as If petrified watching Warson
working over her husband. Then she
ran In. What she said to Warson was
sufficient, but suddenly he looked up,
and she saw tears in his eyes. Jnst
then Cryder's eyes opened. lie sat up
in the sand, spat out some blood and
si: Id dizzily. "Well, Warsoji, old boy,
yon did It at last> and Tin g'.adff a onrer."

Most Alaska people work every day
ia somtj strained, unnatural position ?
bending constantly over a desk? riding
on jolting wagons or cars? doing labor
ious housework; lifting, reaching or
pulling, or trying the bock in a hundred f
and one different ways. All these
strains tend to wear, weaken and injure ?
the kidnevs until they fall behind in
t eir work of filtering the poisons frorr
the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys, Jput new s'.reDgth in^bad
W. H. Wool of 250 cottage St., Sa
lem. Ore., says: ,lA good many years
a^o I got badlv kicked by a mule right
over the kidneys and at another time
while digging a well it caved in on me
nlso mjuring my back. Since then I
hnve had more or less annoyance from
my Kidnevs. Change of weather caused
my baok to ache and when I worked
hard it became so lame that I could
hardly straighten up after stooping. I
procured Doan's Kianey Pills at a drug
store and since taking them, although
I have.continued to work hard and be
exposed to severe weatlie,, not an ache
or other symptoms of my former
trouble remains. This clearly proves
that Doan's Kidney Pills act up to
?representations made of them. I also
know of other people who have derived
urea, benefit from their use. I am glad
to let Others know the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills for backache and kidney
trouble.
