charged with being drunk, said his honor
guilty or not guilty, to which the damsel re-
piled that she felt lonesome and believed that

to think of keeping company with the worms
of the gloomy charnel house, his pathetic
| strain being rudely interrupted by the bailiff
who said that she had been to Scandinavia
picnic, and was trying to play on the tender
| sympathies of the court by giving him taffy

gave the false-hearted creature thirty days
stretch in the House of Good Shepherd.
