excited over the management, or, as 1t
asserted, mismanagement. of the Mile
End wOr'IhOusc. One of the leading
items of the list of charges was that the

know"
The young woman toyed with the little
wooden hammer and said nothing.

Here the hammer fell, says the Chicago

There are few larger drains, says the
New York Sun, upon credulity than the

The following anecdote, however, is well
vouched for:
A young lady started out not long ago
for a mornings fishing in a Welsh stream.
She was accompanied by a retriever dog,

Young lady threw out her line and pur-
sued her angling with a deep interest
almost surpassed by that evinced by the
dog. In fact, the young woman's atten-
ton slumbered for a moment, and, as
luck would have it, at that very instant
came a big tug at the line.
