Woman Taunted Her SWee..-
heart Till He Turned.
BIRD OF PASSAGE GOES FREE
He Might BE Called Migrating Hobo,
and the Police Know Him Well.
Hayes Anderson and Annie Brown,
Lovers, Drank Too Much q Gin-Some
Other Cases, But They Were Few.

Not in a long time have the proceedings
In Judge kinbalFs court dragged as they
did today. 1t required two hours to hear
four cases, which should have been heard
in half the time; but multiplicity OF wit
ncsses and the reiteration OF lawyers in
| their arguments prevented. The air in the
Courtroom was close, and his honor seemed
| tired and tagged out by the dullness OF the
proceedings.
There " ere few prisoners in the pen, most
of them colored, arrested for drunken and
disurderly conduct. The first of these,
Hayes Anderson, and his sweetheart, Annie
Brow n. drank too much gin yesterda and be-
gau accusing each other OF being false in
their pledges of love
Annie called on high heaven to witness
her vo W that she would tear limb from limb,
young oman named Sarah Carter, for
" HON HAYES had shown a weakness
Hayes, not to be outdone In the mutila-
tor of the human anatomy, promised Annie
before S:15 he would destroy the features
of one Moses Diggs SO his mother wouldn't
know him Moses has been trying TO in
gratiatc himself into the condolences and
affections of Annie, who is as ugly as
Helen Of Troy was fair.
THE SPARK OF JEALOUSY.
woman-like, Annie famed tue little
spark Of Jealousy in Anderson's breast
Mptn it developed itself into aood-sized
flame. and Hayes, yielding to his anger
under the taunts of the woman, soundly
boxed her ears.
Annie screamed Murder Fire and
Police until, Policeman O'Brien shut
her mouth first and then shut her in n cell
at the station house, with Hayes in an ad-
joining apartment.
Why men sue for her favors is a BRAIN
racking problem, for she is without single
attractive feature. She told the judge, after
O'Brien testified, that Anderson beat her
because she spoke to another man.
II hopes I'm a lady, said Annie, as if
she was in doubt about it; ''an' when gen
nem an hits his hat off to me l spends to
his talk"
81 seed you kiss dat nigger," growled
Hayes from the dock.
BE quiet, SIR" said Balliff Kendig;
'.Iet the lady have her say
~ amt kiss no man." exclaimed Annie
turning to Anderson, dat IL" she coyly
added, "'cept you / wudu't cyared SO
much, jedge," she ran on, but / am sick
an' here's my medd ysin,'' and Annie ex-
hibited a pint bottle containing colored
fluid.
TWO KINDS OF MEDICINE.
Hayes WAS giving you some medicine
too last night, wasn't he?" asked Mr..
Pugh.
"Yes, 1 wuz," muttered that gentleman
TO Kendig, IAN it wuz a double dose wot
she needed"
Hayes refused to go on the stand and was
fined $40, while A nnie was released. When
she saw Hayes slouching to the cells she
busrt into tears and threatened to have
Mysteries. Kendig took her up in the hall
and administered his usual treatment
in such cases, a sort Of mortar and pestle
shake, which has never failed to be eff
cacious. He put Annie through the move
ment twice, and after a few gasps as il she
had swallowed an overdose of salt water,
she came around nicely.
"where liz I, Mister Kendigses?'' she
sighed, rolling her eyes at the bailiff, who
wore a smile of satisfaction at his cure.
Where IL your grinned the bailiff.
You're in the police court. Ny amt it
