 Last evening just as two well dressed and lady-like young women were entering the Apothecaries hall, young man evi- dently with more liquor aboard than he ought to have, tapped one of them on the shoulder and as she turned around caught her by the arm. The young lady appeared surprised and attempted to get away. ''Oh, it is all right, come on," said the young fellow, and he drew aroll of bills from his pocket and offered her several. The young lady indignantly threatened to call policeman, but the young fellow took no notice of it and tried to force the bills on her. Finally, her patience giving away to her indignation, she drew back her hand and brought it with 8 resounding whack across the maps face and walked into the store. The man without any further talk concluded that he had caught a Tartar and sneaked off around the corner. LIFE 0F EREEnONJ
