O O O o O O O ( AN AGED LOTHARIO REBUKED.


 whose locks have 0 0 o been whitened by, the snows of many winters that have nev- ertheless, failed to cool le amatory heat that st4.. warns his bosom wlIn the same ardor toward the falrer portion of hu- manity that it did half a century ago. Now this gentleman is confined to his office during the late morning hours. when the streets in the shopping district are thronged with the lovely daughters of society. and in the afternoons, when Market street is crowded with the fair ones who arise late and take their daily constitutional alon- the line as the west ern sun Is dipping toward it's sleep in the swelling bosom of the Pacific. he is com pelled to stay in his chamber, up a tower to the east" and guard the sacred shield that some supreme court awarded to him for his prowess in the lists of law so long ago that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary"
 Clients are not so numerous with this gentleman but that he has plenty of spare time on his hands which he employs in rubber-necking at the windows of the Palace and throwing kisses at anything in skirts that happens for moment to appear The other day a couple of young gentlemen were paying call in the hotel when their hostess mentioned the i'm pertinences to which she was subjected by this old Lothario whenever she had occasion to go to the window, and the young fellows determined to teach him lesson. One of them, donning bonnet and shawl appeared at the window, and after few minutes desperate irritation succeeded by signs, in making the old fellow understand that he was to come down and meet the supposed lady at the hotel entrance. The elderly masher came down at once but instead of meeting the lovely maiden he expected he was con- fronted by two young men, who first gave him the laugh and then reading him long lecture on the error of his ways dis missed him, with the assurance that his age would not protect him from thrash ing if he continued to attempt love-mak- ing with respectable women whom he did not know, but who might possibly be friends of his daughters.
