VAGRANrs. There are about two dozen
men in this town who have no visible or in
visible means Of support, and their associa-
lions are of such character as not to render
them above suspicion of being capable and
willing to do things which are not considered
proper in the eyes of the law and good soci-
ETY.. If we are not mistaken, there is a va
grant ordinance in force here. 1t would be
well enough for the police authorities, to save
the City and County further expense, to care
fully look into this matter, and if the indi-
viduals are what they seem to be, give them
notice to quit the town, or arrest them for
vagrancy.
SHE WASN'T A JUDGk few days since
an elegantly attired lady entered Fo1's jewelry
store and requested to be shown some of the
most expensive solitaire rings in the establish
ment. Mr.. De Neuf, with his usual suavitv
of manner, passed out trayful after tray
full of the brilliant baubles. After examining
the stones for half hour, the lady picked up
one and demanded to know the price $500
replied Mr.. De Neuf ''Well, remarked the
lady, eff you assure me that this ring is soil
tatjt, will take it" This was easily done,
and the e1travagant, but illiterate lady now
wears a genuine solitaire ring

A PLEDGE BREAKER.-A man named John |
