place: ''She had male parent who didn't

for beer and Wheeling stOgas. But she
loved ice cream in the evening and wax to
chsw in day time, and Johnny always set
'em up. The male parent gave Johnny a
gentle hint thai it might be to his interest
to throw his stumps at somebody else's
gate, aud chaV cloves in somebody else's
parlO-, but Johnny seemed as il he WIS
deaf in one esr, and couldn't hear good
with the other. Not being of blood
thirsty disposition, the male parent quietly
locks his darling in the back room, and sits
in the parlor door, acting the 70 of a

the usual supply of gum and ice cream has

He was successful, but the play after all
was not worth the candle. Why sbodld a
man voluntarily give so much toll and s :,
much mental and physical force to the pur-
chase Of six-foot lot in fashionable

There is prospect of local trouble in
that city. according to the San Frat cisco
Chronicle, which says: "For several days

parts OF the city announcing the Calsdonian

minated by the figure of an immense
