TIE REFUSAL of the proprietors Of the
Garfield bathing resort to dispense
Intoxicating beverages on Sunday last,
caused many a face to assume the tabled
length of a fiddle, and the policy, or

out of his coat-tail pocket, and to walk
about with Georges and Jeanne trotting
behind him, their eyes riyeted on the
pIaything, until, slowly and softly, they
relieved grandpa of his burden"

and the morale of the force has, as in al
