in CENTRAL FALLS,

"Rat- a tat tat" on the door OF the Office
Of Clerk Follett of the Justice Court.
No answer. A turn of the knob re-
vealed the fact that His Honor and the
clerk had both gone home. Down stairs,
Clerk Crawford was alone In the vault,
slowly looking over lot of papers for
something he did not fnd, and didn't ap-
pear to care whether he did or not.
Assistant Clerk Gooding was killing
time by buzzing q man, and Clerk Bowen
and young Bill Sweet were killing flies
In the back room. Treasurer Reynolds
leisurely counted over big roll OF city
bills and accounts-and then counted
them over again. This was not very
promising.
Johnny Butman and William Easton
said they knew of several items OF news,
but they happened six months ago, and
then they proceeded to tell why things
were all wrong, and how they ought to
be remedied. Even the reporter couldn't
stand that sort Of thing, so he quit trying.
Patt Bros. were disputing an express
bill on goods that were to have come on
consignment, freight prepaid. Big
Bucking ham had just sold four Baskets Of
peaches to Fales Brothers, and he seemed
to be trife, but only trifie, excited
thereby. Officer Welch was way down
by the bridge, Officer Coombsl had not
yet put In an appearance, Officer Sherman
was on his way to the station, though nc.
body seemed to know when he would get
there, and the chief was dodging In be-
hind the "Volunteer," for he said that
there was not thing to say or even to
guess about.
Two or three young women were visit.
ing two or three other young women on
two or three different streets In two or
three parts Of the city and the Mayor said
he had heard nothing of interest since
week before last.
The scribe put up his fountain pen,
pocketed his "B and q" tablet and took
an electric for Pawtucket. On his way
down he met Herb. Thurber, who, In an
swer to an inquiry, sai1 there wasn't
nothing new at all whereupon the news
paper chap gave 1t up as q bad Job, and Of
fers the above as the only apology In his
power to make for such state of 1nani-
tion. You can't get meat out of stone,
and It won't do to SNAKE up" news to ex-
cess, for you are liable to get caught and
have to apologize In earnest, which Is q
blunder objectionable.
