A JOKE ON CHIEF STEWART.
He Pays Forty Cents Expressage on an
 Old Pair Of Shoes

During the summer months there must have been a tramp working on the streets of Pine Bluff who had i'll him q great deal of quiet humor. and as developments have shown, this humor has been vented at the expense ofour Chief of Police to the amount of forty cents.
 A few weeks ago the city police ar rested a white man on the charge of vagrancy. He was fined $10. which he could only pay by working out was barefooted and nearly naked. In accordance to an ordinance gov erning such matters, the Chief of Police bought his prisoner pair of pants and a cheap pair of brogan shoes at the expense of the city. The prisoner served out his fine and left Pine Bluff Naturally the Chief be- lieved that he would hear nothing more of him. Yesterday, however. he received quite surprise. He was notified that there was package at express office addressed to him on which there was 40 cents charges. The package came from Mobile, Ala The Chief expected to find i'll the package a handsome present and he gladly paid the 40 cents. He carried the package to the office and opened it. You can only imagine his sur prise and chagrin when undiscovered that he had paid out 40 cents of his hard-earned cash for an old pair of brogan shoes which the vagrant had worn away from Pine Bluff, and who, on reaching Mobile, had sent them back, c. 0. D., to Chief Stewart.
 The old shoes are now hanging in a conspicuous place in the Chiefs office as remembrance of the va grant, and it is safe to say that if he ever comes back to Pine Bluff he will be given warm reception.
