An interesting discussion as to the
ages Of San Francisco's favorite bird,
the "chippy." took place in Judge
Garber's court, last Friday, in the ex-
animation of witnesses in the case of

a man named Eberhardt. The wit
ness was George Harris, and he was
swearing to the existence of myth
ical Emma, who did the robbing and
whom he called a ''chippy." Assis-
tant district attorney J. B. Southland,
venerable gentleman with gray
hair, asked the witness to explain
himself. Harris said he would if
Southland would explain what he
wanted. Sonthard-Would you call
woman of % a "chippy?' "Yes, sir.
Under 10 they are kids between Is
and % they are 'chippies', over that
age are 'blousers,' replied the witness,

A Female Paradox,

A lady, old and growing older still,
(As ladies will grow old you know
In spite of age, as young as yOuth-but
ill.
And old. and wretched, feeble, lame,
and sore,
A lady young, became in spite Of youth.
As ladies will, and why? Because the
truth
That keeps lady young, they fall to
grasp,
And yielding to disease, die in its fatal
clasp.
That truth is that woman'S weakness
may be
Subdued by DR.. Pierce's Favoritc Pre-
ScriptiOn.
