CoMISG HoME.-Coming home one evening
the reporter saw woman standing on an up
town corner, her brow like grim wars wrin.
killed. front and a switch from neighboring
cottonwood clutched in her wrsthful hand.
Nobody knew why she was there, and none
were destined to find out save the boy whom
she had sent about two hours before for Jug
of yeast. The youngster had halted by the
way to see if the Board of Police Commits.

Ksrcher's bulletin board, and she had awaited
his coming for several long hours. She had
kept down her rising ire, but she was ready

was offensive he was, without any prelimina-
ries, licked; and the courts had fewer crimes to
war over, and the taxpayers fewer trials to pay
for. When boy neglected to be gentle
man, his case was Immediately attended to /;
and ladies went everywhere unattended, and
the general insulting Of women was then I'M
known. When boy was out from home
lounging around the dark streets late at night,
the old man investigated the absentee, and
less criminals hid themselves away when
the sun arose. The world rolled back
thousand years when the birch was laid away.
