ington avenue, and after condemning

the beauty of the city. The only diff
Guilty IN the way is the financial depres-
sion which surrounds the county and
city exchequers.

corner one day last week. and after a
long talk, concluded they wanted some
candy. There was not nickle in the
crowd. Then they thought it would be
funny to go over to Freeman's and get
weighed. After this was done the sight
of candy made them desperate, and they
determined TO do the footpad act, and
mold up somebody. After looking
in vain for a likely victim. they settled
ON one of their number, who proved to
a poor editors wife. She had to ''set
up the candy, and have it charged to
the linden. And now she is wonder
ing bow she will get new bonnet this
spring.
