Col. Ed Hay, standing near. with his but

NECESSARY PERMITS.
Mr.. Pugh suggested that as u protection
to their fellow-man it would be necessary

pie took bath.
"A man can paint the town without
permit, but he can't put u virgin covering

JACKY's PASSION.
When Jacky Maloney stops going TO
the police court there won't he any such
place. Jacky has passion for Scotch
plaid clothes, furnished by the govern
ment, and regular hours of retiring.
He got out of the workhOuse yesterday
afternoon. Among the things returned
to him when lie left was a crisp dollar
bill, left there for him by a friend.
SOL" chuckled Jacky, tougher than jerk
ed beef. to pal with ten more days to
serve, 'git on ter dat lettice. I wont do a
ting to it wen strikes gin MILL"
"Yes, and you will be back tomorrow"
said one of the keepers.
Not on yer 'yal tintype. replied the con-
fident Jack. "De old boozelceny can't
knock me out in less den twenty-f hours"
But 1t did. Jacky found himself at l
O'Clock this morning on Massachusetts, ave-
nue.. being tugged and hauled around by two
patient policemen.

the officers. trying to infuse life into the
sleepy bum by rubbing his nose.
Jacky gave a mighty yawn. carelessly
sticking his finger in one of the policcman's
eyes. "Am pinched?' he said. waking up.
"oh. no, "retorted the officer, we're max
ing love to you.''
''Then carry your baby hone," was the
ready response of Jacky, making himself
imp and helpless.
The Officers waited for the patrol wagon,
which carried Maloneyto the station house,
as he absolutely refused to walk step.

to the court, ducking his head.
"Yes, Jacky. and here you are very
)ften," answered. his honor, after the Of
ficer made his statement.
A GREAT SURPRISE.
"Yer amer, I've got a great ser-prise
fer yer dis time; I'm a-goin ter plead |
guilty." said Jacky, leaning against the
rail with the appearance of man whose |
humility deserves consideration.
Judge Kimball said, In view Of the sur |
prise, he would make the sentence light. |
Fifteen days this time, Jacky," said |
his honor.
Jacky stepped briskly around to the |
lesk before the vigilant Kendig could in |
terfere.
Take me bonds,'' he whispered, conf |
dentially.
The court looked down on Jacky's !

great fervor.
