Got Even with the Boys

A party of young bloods in Jamaica.
N. Y, concluded to have some fun with
countryman who was tramping about
town looking for a job. They hired
him to act as a private watehman on
dark street, promising to give him 800
for the first month and then increase
his salary if he proved efficient. The
first night nothing special happened,
but the next night he was met by q
rough looking customer who threatened
to smash his jaw if he didn't stop pa
trolling chat beat. In about one minute
the coantryman was mopping up the
muddy street with the ill-mannered
aristocrat. After letting up on him he
discovered he was one of the parties
who had employed him. A little later
a ghostly figure made its appearance,
but it WASH t long until this ghost, mi
nus its winding sheet, went lying across
an open lot, bearing black eye and a
broken nose. The next day it was dis
covered that twas another member Of
the gang who hired the man to have
fun with. He refused to quit his job
until the month, sued them for bis
wages, got his pay in full and is now
member of the police force.-M. T. Star
