Ijoyable occasion. The boxes packed

the REGISTER makes grateful acknowl-

filed with sparkling ideas from the
pens of gifted women of the North,
South, East and West. The editress-in-

Uncle Andy Lewis of the South End
came near getting into trouble here
last Wednesday evening. He came up,
we presume, to celebrate Thanksgiv-
ing. and took on a little too much tan
glefoot While under the influence he
went to a dwelling and insisted upon
taking up quarters. The proprietor.
hot knowing him, ordered him out,
but Uncle Andy didn't want to go,
and it required some persuasive argu-

the city officials was notified and he

Last Friday tramp called at the
Ursuline Convent and asked for some
thing to eat. The Sister in charge of
the refectory offered him some bread
and cold meat, but he wanted some
thing hot" and entered his plea with
such vigorous language that she called
for Father Wernert. He came, and
told the the tramp that, while they
were willing to help a hungry man,
they could not keep hot victuals on

an outside attache of the Institution,
came around the corner of the build
ing, gun in haudi Mr.. Tramp sighted
him first, and started off at keen run
down the avenue. The good father,
not yet observing the approach of the
lad with the gun, stood amazed at this
uneE pected ending of the controversy.
The tramp did not leave off running

grounds, and his rapid exit excited the
curiosity of Charley. who was also
nonplussed at the unwonted exhibition
of sprintlng. When he and Father
Wernert got together, OF course the
mystery was explained. Charley was
returning from a rabbit hunt when the
tramp espied him. but the latter knows
no better yet, and no doubt is still con-
graduating himself upon his fortunate
escape from bloody end.
