A Cheap Sport

George Williams. a big fellow, thought
he would enjoy the sights last night with
small capital and about the first thing he
did was to go into the side room of Broad
way saloon with woman named May
Leonard, whom he did not know. The wo-
man sat on his lap during several rounds
of drinks, and then Williams discovered. so
he claimed, that 81 was missing from his
vest pocket. He accused the woman of
taking the money, to which she indignantly
entered a protest. This failed to pacify
George, for he hunted up Officer Fowle and
caused the arrest of May.

Advertisers in The Herald may
hereafter find word or two in their

the readableness Of the advertisement
will not be hurt, and it will be read
by many more people, and a good
deal more carefully than has usually
been the case. The Herald's "Spell-

to advertising.

are the faces more becomingly sur
mounted by turban than by any other
shape. Here's good news for our
patrons. A New York wholesale mil
liner sold us all his soc, $75c. $1.00 and
SIPS turbans in every conceivable straw

we're almost afraid to make 1t known.
You'll think them damaged. Every one
