An Aged Beau's Rebuff.

plump, smooth, jolly Miss Tilbury.
She doesn't amount to much as an
actress yet, being a novice, but hel
youth and comliness are very compel

ity. Boquets and notes are sent tc
her by the noodles, and one evening a
somewhat years-worn beau, famous
for quarter ola century as a gallant
OF the green-room, was struck hard
by her agreeable personality. His
social and business relations with the
management were such that he was
able, just after rehearsal next day, to
be introduced to the girl. She receiv.
ed him respectfully, but not ardently,
and he felt that he was not making q
deep impression. He therefore made
some intensely silly remarks, intended
to convey his admiration.

She kissed me, my beautiful darling.

promptly responded to by our gallan'

The fire caught between the ceiling anc

UP WITH.
TIE Jail Birds Frustrated in gan Attemp
to Break Prison.


On Monday night last, between the
hours of II and 10 O'Clock, Sheriff VIII
lett heard sounds about the jail which
sounded like rate running about. Not
feeling satisfied, however, that the noise
was caused by four footed vermim, he
proceeded to investigate the cause of the
same. On investigation his suspicious
were confirmed, and q hole about 7x12
inches discovered in the wooden lining of
the jail walls. Further search revealed
the fact that some one had passed a brace
and bit to the prisoners, and this they
had used in cutting the hole through the
nine-inch plank lining of the building.
The prisoners had reached the brick wall
on the west side and had CONNIE need to
break out the bricks. 1t is not probable
that had they succeeded in makinga hole
in the brick wall that they could have
escaped, for the size of the hole in the
planking was too small, and the distance
to the ground (they were confined in the
upper story too great. However, Sheriff
Willett's watchfulness prevented a chance
to try it.
