CURIOUS ABOUT THE BABY.

Until tho Ola Lady Explained.
She was one Of the curious women
where, and when the young couple. ac-
companied by the beby and the old lady,
entered tbs car, she turned her atten-
ton TO them at once. Presently the
baby began to cry, and she saw her
opportunity. She waited. however, un-
til the poor young woman had tried
Eainly to quiet the ba,by, and then, when
she yielded the battle and delivered
+ over to the older lady, the curious
woman opened fire.
She began the campaign by Offering
he child a flower, and when the young
woman, thankful of the cessation of
the cries which had attracted the at
tention of all the passengers, thanked
aer gratefully, she commenced to ask
questions at once:

The young woman looked as if she
considered the matter settled, and
sighed comfortably as she leaned back
and began playing with the baby, but
the inquirer was not yet satisfied, and
she returned to the charge.
"Has your baby any teeth?" she
asked, smiling cordially, and again the
young woman blushad

No Punishment Can BE Found In the
jersey Laws to Fit the Outrage

No Punishment Can BE Found In the
Jersey Laws to Fit the Outrage.
Jersey justice, as explained by Record
er Sullivan, of New Brunswick,
struggled blindly recently when the
question of how long and how loud a
citizen may snore in his private apart
ment without becoming a candidate for
the county Jail came up before him.
Shores, stentorious and prolonged,
aave robbed the denizenz of a cereain
residence on Burnett streea of their rest
for some time. The identity of the
snorer being in question, Recorder Sui
Ivan was called upon to solve the prob
lem.
Before him stood John Parry, plain
citizen with no other claim to fame
than capacity to snore with prodigious
effectiveness and continuity.
Recorder Sullivan ransacked the
crimes act in vain for the slightest cIew
TO a law covering the question. Then
he turned to the complainant in the
case, Martin Albert, bandmaster, who
lives on the floor above Barry and owns
the building, for description of the
noise which has been so annoying to
the people in his house.
ooh, judge" said Mr.. Albert, "that
man is a wonder. A boiler factory would
be blessing to our community by COM
parison with Rarry's snores. He be-
gins the moment he has dropped into
bed. and the racket keeps up all night.
1t is not only loud, judge, but so dis
corlant and rasping. Ihave come home
from band rehearsal at dead of night
to hear it block away, and to find my
wife and children hanging out of the
windows waiting for me, because they
could not sleep"
What is the noise likee'
'Well, it is not like anything on earth.
With such wonderful breathing power,
he would be q star as q cornetist. There
is no escape from the noise. Until I
caught him in the act, 1 believed that
some bad boy downstairs had bought q
whistle. Now 1 believe that he has a
circular saw somewhere in his posses
sion.
From a musicians standpoint his
executions of trills, chromatics and
cadenzas are horribly vivid, and there
is not retard or full stop in his whole
score"
The defendant was given an oppor-
tunity to defend himself. He declined
to acknowledge that he disturbed the
peace and quiet of Mr.. Martins fiat.
If he did, it was unintentional. and.
what was more, he did not intend to
stay up nights to preventit.
Recorder Sullivan advised Berry to
move or readjust his breathing ap-
paratus, and then discharged HMM.

THE FISH WERE FRESH.
But the Purchaser Was . Great Deal
Freshor.


Up in the Eleventh ward thrifty
German makes a good living peddling
live carp. The fish are hauled about
the streets in q small tank set upon
wheels-sthe whole outfit being pro-
PEELED i the energy generated from
the Germans muscles. If there is one
thing more than another the peddler
prides himself on. it is that his wares,
being alive, are necessarily fresh.
The other morning the carp mer-
chant WIGS stopped by woman who, IL
the well-flled baskets which hung from
her fat arms were any indication, was
ON har way home from market. Tho
woman leaned over the cart and sized
up the swimming fish carefully.
'Are they fresh ?" she finally asked.
The look of disgust that spread over
the Germans countenance would have
fitted well upon the features of sound
money democrat who is being told that
q free-coinage candidate is sure to be
nominated at the Chicago convention.
But he choked down his Indignation.
Yah: dey ish fresh" he replied.
Then he reached down into the tank
and pulled out a sample, which he held
mp for the woman to see.
She gazed upon it for q moment, her
nose high in the air. She wasn't salts
fed, however, and the next moment
showed one of her own fair hands into
the tank and grabbed carp by the
gills. She yanked it up in the air after
the manner of one who doesn't propose
TO be fooled in 30 important a matter as
buying fish, and held it at arms
length for inspection.
At least, she started to hold it out.
Unfortunately she bad picked up tho
bigges. fish n the cart It was a carp
that didn't care much about women,
anyway, and particularly woman who
considered herself well enough &C
quainted to run her fingers through his
breathing apparatus. He at once be-
gan to go through a contortion act of
the most intricate and vigorous descrip-
ton, his mouth wide open and his tail
marking out three-foot circles at the
rate of 40 minute
The suddenness with which the Ash
started in on this programme Was toe
much for the woman. In her hurry to
let go OF the carp she forgot about her
baskets and their contents. As her
arms few up the baskets few down. IN
the Eleventh ward the sidewalks are as
hard as il not harder than in any Of the
other wards. and eggs have very htsle
show ia contest with them. There
were eggs in one basllet-two dozen Of
them
Unless the rain has washed th>m
away, those eggs are down on the Flew
enth ward sidewalk yet. They wouldn't
have been of very much use 10 the wom-
an after they struck the walk, except 81
scrambled eggs. In the other basket
there were strawberries and steak and
q roll OF butter.
All of these were saved from the gen.
eral wreck. however. with the exception
OF the steak. An enterprising Eleventh
ward dog feasted upon that.
The woman didn't stay 30 buy any
FISH. Perhaps she had lost her appetite
for carp. Anyway. she gathered up the
remnants of her marketing and sailed
M jesticany down the street.
The fish peddler gazed after her a mo
