HEARD AMONG THE LOAFERS.
The Telegraph Operator Who DisIiked Eggs,
the Victim Of a Joke.

A dapper little fellow rather loudly
dressed in the latest modes. having a
slight mustache, went into drug store
in search of cigar the other evening.
He eyed the stock kept by the druggist
in rather a disdainful manner, and
after he found that he could not pro-
a 10 cent straight. AS the cigar Was
being passed out to him he remarked
as he twisted his dainty mustache.
Really you know. New York is the
only place on earth to live in, as one
can get any kind of a cigar there one
wishes" Augusta should feel proud as
she was really compared with the
metropolis. e--
Another little fellow of the same
stamp went into a gentlemen's furnish
ing store, and pompously called for the
highest collar in the store. The collar
was produced, and after a few remarks
crticising the collar. the fellow asked
the price. Twenty cents" replied the

good idea to play joke on him. 50
he wrote a note to Wells new land

eggs sent with his dinner every day

Grand Chief Templar Grant Rogers of
the Maine Good Templars presented to
Governor Powers, Thursday. 179 petitions
that read as follows
To Llewellyn Powers, Governor of the
State of Maine:
The undersigned adult citizens of Maine
respectfully represent. that owing to the
failure of officers in many localities to
enforce the prohibitory law. in many
cities and towns in Maine the law is open
ly and fragrant violated. against the
wishes and in defiance of the best ele-
ment in the community thus rendering
the efforts or honest citizens imperative
And whereas, at the 39th annual session
of the Grand Lodge of Maine Independ-
ent Orders of Good Templars. the follow
ing was adopted: Resolved. that a petit
ton be circulated among the subordinate
lodges, in the jurisdiction of the Grand
Lodge, for the signatures of the MEM
bers, and all others in sympathy with
the movement. to be presented as a me-
mortal to Gov. Powers. calling for the
enforcement of the prohibitory law of
the State
Therefore. We respectfully pray that
special orders be given to all officials
whose duty it is to enforce this law. call
ing for the honest impartial and fearless
discharge of duty in the enforcement of
this law. thus making this year one long
to be remembered for the advancement of
good morals, social purity and the pro-
lection of our homes.
Mr.. Rogers said that with a little more
work. many more names could have been
secured. but they thought the list pre-
scented would do as well as "A longer one.
The Governor asked him to point out
some specific action. and if it was within
his power he would gladly do it.

1t is a familiar principle that courts
of law are bound to take judicial
cogniZance of the territorial divisions
Of the State into counties and towns,
and the relative situation of the towns
with respect to counties. In criminal
pleading it is sufficient to state an
Offense to have been committed in a
given town without adding the county
in which the same is situated, there
being no other town of the same name
in the State.
1t is accordingly the opinion of the
court, that the original complaint upon
which the former conviction was basel
in the municipal court of Waterville,
fulfilled all of the requirements of law
in regard TO the allegation of place,
and must be deemed adequate to give
that court jurisdiction of the offense
therein charged.
Exceptions overruled.
