the papers on which he was pulled,
and while they were being corrected,
Lilly made q break for fresh air; he
was recaptured, brought back and
fined $50 and costs. The charge
was carrying hip-pocket ordinance
This is the same Lilly that was up
before the Mayor, . short time ago
and answered FIVE dollars worth to
the charge of gambling. This time
Squire Moss socked il to him.
1T has become 80 much the fash.
ion nowadays to spend the hot
summer months away from home, and
loll around the fashionable watering
places, summer resorts and country
villas, that even country editors and
their wives are not content to remain
and enjoy the quiet of home. The
editors better half left last Tuesday
on the palstial steamer, MARK Two
bound for that celebrated Summer
Resort Gold Dust, (there's some
thing attractive about that name), to
be absent until she takes a notion
to come back. Is she in poor health!
Oh, no, not at all; on the contrary,
she enjoys excellent health; but
fashionl man, fashion! Everybody
must 70 somewhere in summer,
even il you have to leave your wash
bills unpaid. The editor will 60 of
a. soon ss she returns.
Six colored crap-shooters were
brought up before Squire Moss last
Monday. A clear case was made,
and . ten dollar fine was entered
against each individual, which, to.
gcther with the cost, amounted to
about $l86. The boys kicked, and
with some show of reason, at being
"pulled for playing . little game Of
craps in which but little money was
at stake, while the white folks play
kerds in houses with yaller painted
windows, and rob every man they
get in thar clutches, and nobody is
pulled for it." It's apoor law, as
well as rule, that don't work for both
race alike. Arrest all gamblers alike.
One man is Is good as another-if he
behaves himself and obeys the law.
Gamblers are no good; they neither
weave nor spin. They are a moral
incubus that live and fatten on the
labor of honest industry. The law
says they shall not be permitted to
ply their ncfarious calling. They
should be rooted out.
"A good joke is told on q young
friend of ours, who while
living At . little town in Southeast
Missouri, . year or more ago. exhib'
tied . wonderful fancy for fast horses.
On one occasion while out driving a
two.forty nag, the animal became
unmanagable, and broke into a full
run. The young mans life was in
danger, and might have been pur-
chased at the time anywhere between
l and II per cent below cost. Every
threatened to dash him out
into ditch or against neighboring
tree or fence which lined either side
the road. Just in the nick Of time,
a farmer who happened to be ahead
in . wagon, got down, and at the
risk Of his own life, checked the run
away. The young mans gratitude
knew no bounds; he jumped out Of
his buggy and rushing up to his pre-
server, threw his arms around his
neck, and while tears Of gratitude
rolled down bis cheeks, exclaimed,
q Ny dear frent you have saved my
life; God pless you for it! Come, l
will reward you; lets 60 to Mart
Reels saloon, and shake you for
the drinks"
