HE WEPT,
Not Because He Was Sorry for His
Sins, but Because He Lost
His Doodle.
Sparkling Lou Sent up for Shining Around
White Man and Then Trying to
Stab Him.

1t is the bull pen; in the bull pen is
strong man; but watch him as he weeps; II
is sad to see a strong man weep; but why
does he bow his head and weeps Is it be-
cause he has been shorn Of his strength,
knocked out, as it were, by the modern
Delilah of justice: is this why his heart is
bowed down! Not much; he has been fined
SIS for being paralyzed drunk, and he has
not the wherewithal to liquidate; look at his
face it has the appearance OF having been
tackled by horse rake. But hear him
shrek. His name, he says, is Mickie Mea-
hen, aud he is from Pa-ree; not the Pa-ree
of France, but the Paris of Egypt in southern
Illinois He came here to meet his
son, who has been working in the woods, and
who was to meet the old man in ST. Paul
and receive his blessing. On reaching this
CITY he fell into the hands of thieves and they
filed him full Of red eye and relieved him OF
his wallet. The court hears his story; the
quality of mercy is not like lemon
strainer; the old man is admonished sternly
and ordered to 90 and prepare the fatted veal
for his son.
81 would that were bee that might sip,
The golden honey from that ripe, red lip"
Thus said the poet of the bull pen as, with
ecstatic bliss, he beheld the shining eyes and
dusky form of Lou Sparks; Lou is a damsel
Of the colored persuasion who is great on the
mash; her castle is at Fifth and Minnesota
streets, and Wednesday evening she received
a call from a pale-faced youth named
A. B. Morte; the latter is quite good look
ing white man, but he is probably no better
than the company he was found in. About
3 O'Clock yesterday morning ne rushed into
the street arraycd in his neither garment
and yelled murder Officer Morphy rushed
up and asked what the row was about, when
he said it was nothing. An investigation
showed that he and his dusky mistress had
been fighting, during which the latter stab
bed him where he lived with a knife. He
was only scratched and they were both
given the rush to the tower The court said
he was ashamed Of such daliance and they
were sent over for thirty days each. He
will lose his fine moustache at the hands of
the workehouse barber.
In explanation she testified that she was
mending his coat with needle and penknife
when he happened TO fall on the blade la
Brutus and stabbed himself
The case Of E. Walther, charged with as
sault was continued until to-day.
A. Norman is quite marksmau, and
once in a while he forages for his neighbor's s
chickens. He was up yesterday for shooting
Capt. Burgers hens, and when officer Nc
Bride went to arrest him he locked the copper
il the house and it is said on the quiet that
Mrs. Norman pitched into him and gave him
the grand bounce. He said he had permit
to shoot from the mayor, but all the same he
was put under $3.50 bonds to stop his funny
business.
VIM. Arbuckel had fuss with an officer
over his dog; he refused to take out license
when they yanked him up. He was loath to
comply with the ordinance but when the
switch of justice was about to descend on
him he made up his mind and promised tc
take out the license.
