il is, there will always be n record Of
conviction against the lad.
Willie Shipley, also small boy, got
INTO trouble with Policeman owens in
shooting sparruws with a bean shooter on
.he commons back of the Congressional Gem
etery.
Willie denied that he had bean shooter,
as he said his mother would not allow
him to carry one.
And your mother is right said the
judge.
There were two of 'em, your honor"
said the officer The other one brought
the time"
what did do in that case?'
Took his personal bonds, as ! would
ask you to do n this one," replied
owens. D..
Are you sure you saw him with the
shooter"
Owens was positive. Willie, equally
positive, denied it. 1t was question OF
yeracity between the policeman and the
boy, and his honor favored the officer. He
put the child under personal bonds, and lie,
too, went away with the record of q con-
viction against him.
Jane josephine Cannon, who has been
TO the workhouse a hundred times, is as
prolific a letter-writer as Mr.. wilkins
Micawter She is constantly writing let
ters to the Commissioners, Maj. Moore,
or Judge Kimban. Yesterday the judge
received an effhsive missive'from- Jane,
sa wing she had abandoned her evil ways,
and intended to give her soul to God and
lead a better life.
This morning when his honor looked over
he dock to his surprise he saw, seated in
The corner. smirking and smiling at him,
Jane Cannon.
why. there Jane Cannon, he remarked.
Jane Uttered and Kendig laughed.
SHE WAS UP AGAIN.
.'She Just got out yesterday, and here
she is again." said the bailiff.
Immediately after her release Jane got
drunk aud called on Sanitary Officer
Frank. She has a penchant for Mr.. Frank,
and has more than once declared her I'M
lying love for him. She invariably pays him
a visit after her return to liberty.
on this occasion she became so bolster
Gus in her declaration of affection that
Mr. Frank rang for the patrol wagon and

Same old trouble. I suppose, Doctor"
smiled Judge Kimball. as Mr.. Frank, vis-
bly, annoyed, took the stand.
"Yes. your honor" he replied; ''she came
to my office yesterday drunker than usual,
if such thing is possible
How about that letter, Jane, you sent
me?" quzzed his honor.
Jane, chalk y-faced woman. averted
her cold blue eyes, and had nothing TO say.
Il don't believe you could keep sober
il your life was at stake said the court.
My libertys always at stake with your
honor retorted Jane wickedly. you've
kept me in the workhouse ever since
you've been on the bench
Yes. and you deserved it," answered
the court. This time it is three mouths"
God by, Mr.. Frank" called Jane as
Kendig moved her down the line, sending
the doctor languishinG glance.
Moses Robinson is booze CRATER"
like Jane Cannon. He is a periodical
visitor to Judge Kimballs court, and al
ways has a flat denial prepared to the
charge against him. This morning, after
the policeman had told how he found Moses
lying across the pavement drunk, Robin
son moved wearily to the stand, his eyes
CLASSY and bloodshot and his face in a
state of profuse perspiration.
~ wuz er fishin'," he said.
"Fishing for at?"interjected the court.
"whisky?'' .
81 sez wuz er fishin'," persistently re-
peated Moses, nodding his cone shaped
head at the policeman, "a few Ininits TO-
dat man rested me. an wuz tired an
set down ter rest on de curb
'Your fishing, William" remarked the
court satirically in a manner that would
have aroused revengefui feelings in the
breasts of some of the followers of Izaak
Walton" like a great many others. 1t
has nothing to do with water and a great
deal to do with whisky
'I amt dat kind oh fisherman" re-
Piled william. "Ef you let me off, I'll go
whar dar amt muffin ter drink but
watah.''
Couldn't hire you to go where there is
10 whisky" said the court, giving him fif-
teen days.
Michael Lanhady, another old-timer, was
up for the same offense.
'You fishing, too, Michael?" asked the
court.
"Me. sur? Oh. no, sur. I niver wint
fishin' in me loife.''
what were you doing lying on that
pavement?"
