AN OBsTREPEROUs DRUNK.
Attacks Jailer Robbins and Is Laid Out
With Bunch of KEYS.

Handcuffed and bowling with rage, mad
dened by excessive drink, Dennis Swain
was brought to the police station yester-
day from Boyle Heights where he had
been arersted for drunkenness. On arri-
val at the police station he was placed
in one of the dungeons, as he fought and
kicked like a demon. Once inside the cell
swain tore around like a mad bull and kick
ed at the iron door until the whole jai!
reSounded with the clamor
Twice the cell door was opened and he
was warned to be quiet, and for a few
moments subsided, only to renew his kick
ing and roaring as soon as left alone. The
third time Jailer Ben Robbins opened the
door to speak to the infuriated man. AS
he did SO Swain jumped forward out of the
darkness, struck the jailer in the eye with
his fist and grappled with him, clawing
tooth and nail Robbins tried to shake
him off. but could not In his right hand
the jailer carried his bunch of huge heavy
keys fastened on chain. Seeing nothing
else to be done he smashed the drink-craz-
ed man over the head with them, laying
him out cold.
The blood poured from cash In the
scalp inflicted by the sharp wards of the
keys and Swain was conveyed to the re-
ceiving hospital for treatment The blow
and loss of blood had sobered him up
considerably and after the wound had been
stitched up he was glad enough to behave
himself and go to sleep in cell and forego
any further experience in the dungeon.

There is no minor article of furniture

utes largely to its coziness, especially
m the winter months. To purchase .
really nice screen, ready-made, . good

tLen the article purchased may mot
prove satisfactory. am giving. there
fore, practical suggestion for home

ried out, will result in charming and
useful addition to the drawing-room.
For the framework of my screen, IN
ordinary two-leaf clothes-horse will
answer admirably; but il q particular
size and width be desired, q working
carpenter will knock you up what you
require for trifie.
Having your framework ready, cover
it with . strong unbleached calico.
This will be best done by using small
black brads, and covering each leas
separately. The calico should be
strained very tightly from side to side.
and plenty of brads used in the mailing.
When these preliminaries arc accom-
plished the frame is ready for its orna-
mental covering.
The materials required will be ~ fol-
lows: Fine olive-green cloth to cover
the screen quite plainly on the outside.

sufficient eau-de-Nil pongee silk to line
the inside Of the screen, and to cove.

quantities of material In this instance,
as have not suggested any particular
size for the screen, which may vary
Nth. the tastes of the reader. and the
actual making is what wish to make
clear to you.
1t will be seen by the sketch that the
crnamcntation of the screen consists
of a fight of butterflies upon one leaf
and the lower half of the second.
These are fashioned from the lemon
colored velveteen, and should be cut
out from a paper pattern. which may
be varied in various positions accord
ing to the ingenuity of the " orker. and
il is a pretty idea to have the butter
flies graduating in size from large to
very small.
