His Satanic majesty took vacation

the court concluded his labors in a short

He had no interrogatorics TO exchange
with those who passed in and out the green
baize doors leading to The court. for there
was only three lone spectators. "A the

and the hard, uninviting empty chairs.

SADIE's WILD NIGHT.
She was near the Botanical Ga arden, reel
ing and falling every few steps. The catsip
the neighborhood howicd in answer To her
cries, and the green Strawberries flung the
Vile words back.
Through the starlight. silent-footed as
Hil watha, came the policemen. They
called the patrol, and Sadie comfortably
cursed the whole world on her journey TO
the station. When she was searched the
matron found on her bottle of gin and
an old faded photograph, yellow with age
and blstered. perhaps with tears-or it
might have been with whisky.
Sadie gave up the gin without Il cry,
but she clasped the picture as though ii was
some living thing. They gave II to her,
of course and she went TO a cell and slept
all night with it grasped in her sinful
hands.
SHE IS LOST

she confronted him, ARE you entirely
lost?"
II am afraid so," she replied, in a low
tone
Thirty days. You have pleaded guilty,
and there is 10 necessity of hearing more"
Sadie cour'esed and threaded her way
TO the cells nonchaaniiy. The embers of
hope have almost flickcred out in her
wayward bosom.
Thomas Pincro jenkins, who dis
claims any relationship with the English
dramatist, WAS tie most miserable man. If
no. in the whole world, certainly in the
dock today, where he spent Il Lad half
hour.
Just as the clerk WIS about to charge
him with profanity and disordcrIy
conduct, tall man, Ied-noscd and rcd

The clerk counted them carefully, and |

concluded Cole, and jenkins, little |
gray, dry, susceptible looking individual |
bewildered at the versatility of his own |
name, was hurried out by his friend.
JOY CAUSED OVER INDULGENCE.
Mike Flynn. who Is gOdsend 10 re- |

retailed 1t with great JUNCTION.
IL seems that three times the stOrks have

house in South Washington, where the
father keeps a corner grocery, and each
time they left a baby girl. Last evening
they passed again, and this time il was

Then jenkins insisted on 1t being one
