the day was sunny, pleasant, and with temper
ature as mild as spring. The streets were

A Modern Popping Tom.

An odd case was called up before o
downtown magistrate last Friday. The
defendent was young man of about 25
years ofage, who is employed in the
furrShing goods department of large
general dry goods store in the city, and
the complainant was blooming damsel
Of 10 summers, plump, rosy-cheeked,
and in every way calculated to be IN ac-
I complished player upon the heartstrings
Sof susceptible mankind. From her six
teenth birthday the fair maiden in ques-
hon has been monopolizing the affec-
hons of the young man, who was at her
instigation dragged before the bar of
Justice; and tl,ereis no reason to believe
that she did not up to the time fully re-
ssciprocate the unwavering devotion he
showed toward her.
IA 10Y examination, the
unhappy ending to the love affair of
this young man and maiden was brought
about in o curious way. The damsel,
who resides with her parents, occupies
tho third-story back room Of tho resi-
2 dance, attached to which is an extension
bathroom that is provided with large
windows, the panes which are made Of
frosted glass. In the apartment the
yonng lady was in the hubit of bathing
!. each morning. The back buildings Of
\ the boarding house in which the young
man resides face the back buildings Of
4 the fair lady's house, and from his
window he could and did throw kisses
across 70 her, receiving in return sup
! ply: Of the same kind of unsatisfactory
Tokens Of affection. Everything went
Sscn swimmingly until one morning, the
\ yonng Indy received the following note

: The cumulative power Of money is 9

Let us take the small and insignificant
