of Chief OF Police Dolnn he had secured
such evidence against Isaac Curty,
John White, Thomas White and Claude

1t recently came to tho knowledge
of the authorities that the game was
being still largely carried on In this
city, after SO much has been done to
break up the nefarious business, and
after seeing the only way to stop it
was to arrest the suspicious dedlers
and to bring them before the court,
the chief secured enough evidence
against the men and had warrants
Issued for their arrests the form err

One Sunday he said eXcitcdly at the close
of solemn discourse, 1.-THE choir will now
pronounce the benediction and will sing
the Doxolosy." The choir failed to re.
spond beyond faint soprano giggle, and
the minister hastily exclaimed: NO, mol l
should have said, will now sing the ben.
edction and the choir will please pro.
nounee the Doxology." Before he could
hazard another attempt the quartet came
to the rescue with old Hundred" and the
parson sat down to recover his wits behind
