Cily Marshal in the Tolls.

Yes, that's Il fact. the big city marshal
OF this burgh got into the tolls, last night.
And he did not at first know just how to
get out again. You see it was this way.
1t is the first of the year and the boys
! of the finest" in this city. had made up
their minds to give Reuben ii surprise
such as he has not had for many day.
They had arranged with an artist to
make a large portrait of the city marshal
ana intended to have had ii ON the ground
earlier, but some slip prevented and 1t
was not until last night that the thing ar
rived and the victim was ready for tn"
sacrifice. 1t was arranged like this.
The Journal man had an important
burglary case on his hands. at least that.
is what the officers of the force said, and
as it was necessary to tote the big mar
| shal out of his office, in order to make the
surprise as complete as possible the Jour
nal ordered to fetch him out" At
SIS of the clock on the dark church tower
the telephone in the marShafs $ office rang
ting a-ling-alinC, just the same as it had
for many a day before and the marshal
answered, "Mello. what is it.
come mp to this office. at once, | have
something important for YOU to work up,
this evening. Never mind your overcoat.
And he came.
The reporters chances in the next
world were considerably lessencd by the
suhtcrfuge resorted to i'll the next t.
minutes. We can only now hope for the
best.
The marshal came UP and the reporter
gave him 'speel'' about another officer

office and ring for help. and at the sam"
