+. b. Hughes is a very independent and
original character. He looked upon the
wine when it was red several times yester-

street car Seating himself in one corner
he spread his No. y brOgans out on the
cushion and gazed upon them in contem-
platiye manner. From this interesting
anatomical study he was aroused by a
gentle touch and a request made by Con-
ductOr HoUk to take his feet Off The seat,
to which he made no response other than
the irrelevant one of calling Houk liar.

times and turned him over to officer Rea-
gan, who pilOted him to the WorkhOuse.

Hughes discovered that he had forgotten to
provide himself with handkerchief, and,
being in need Of one. laid his new hat on
the floor, put his foot upon if, tore the lin
ing out and utilized it by wiping the per-
spiration from his manly brow herewith.
An introduction Of Mr.. Hughes 10 Judge
