were soon disposed or. George Hill was

Smith said she was washing in her back
yard, and Georgic's fellow, Frank Brown

He told his story, acknowledging that he
was drunk, explaining, however that he
knew a lady in that house and had called
on her before, through the back way. His
honor, who seemed to be in 4 very good
and merciful mood, this morning, told him
TO go home also.
The next case was another of the ''go

foreigner, with "A long, scraggly beard. and
a much longer name, and said he was fifty
seven years old, and was suffering with
an .apOplectic fit" when the officer ar
rested him.
The officer seemed to think, however.
that the man with the unpronounceable
name was drunk. 1t sinimered down to
the technical question OF whether the Off
Ger was able to tell a drunken man from
a man with fit, and as his honor did
not feel able to pass on the officers medical
ability, he excused the man.

listic ideas, was charged with disorderly

..Yes. you people are always just in the
way at the very moment you ought not to
be. I'll take your bonds this time"

ME had white skin and yellow hair, with
peculiar red eyes.
Moses and Jennie live together in some
alley south west, and last night when he
came home very late and wanted 10 go

placed them both under arrest.

any noise.

ROSE ON THE wARPATH.
The unromantic bluecoat, with unappre-
ciative coldness and sarcastic smile on
his countenance, told how he happened
in the alley and found Rose ''roarin
drunk" with stick as long and very
nearly as thick as your arm, just ''wipin'
up the place"
"She owned the alley. your honor, and

Rose mixed her sister up in the row
somehow or other, endeavoring to put
all the blame on her. But the red and
blue damsel had been using bad language
in the patrol wagon.
II suppose your sister did the swearing
in the wagon. too" asked his honor.
"Swearin' in de wagon" said the dusky
maid. "No, sab, she didn't do no swearin'
in no wagon. an dere wasn't no swearin'
in no wag on"
Five dollars" and Rose sneaked
back into the dock.

days to improve his memory.
