WATFRTOWN.
A WICKED JEW.

came over to town few evenings ago and his usually quiet even temper was considerably ruff1ed by the actions of junk man who, as MT Stanley expressed it, had all the ear marks not only of a Jew, but also of thief. MT Stanley had been doing some work in his shop, which is in the rear of the house, and during the time he was there this junk man drove up to the front and asked Mrs Stanley if she had any old iron to sell. She informed him that she had not, and even if she had did not have time to bother with him. This failed to satisfy the son of Abraham and as soon as he thought the coast was clear he started in to investigate on his own hook. He found brake iron be- longing to heavy team, coil of lead pipe, a copper lamp font and number of other articles, which he put in his wa gon, and was just about to start with his haul when our friend George appeared on the scene. It only took few seconds for him to size up the situation, and he yelled to MT Jew to stop, which had the effect to make him redouble his efforts to get out of the way. Now while George has passed his birthday he Is still something of an athlete. The re- suits from his next few minutes' work were such as to lay the Jew flat on his back on the road. After getting up and pulling himself together he unlosded the goods and put them back where he got them. George bossed the job and saw that it was done properly ,and when com pleted he allowed Isaac to depart with a good lusty kick on the inexpressible part of his anatomy. The same day that this occurred A. M. Blakeslee happened to be trimming some loose branches from an apple tree in his back garden and this same Jew came sneaking in back of the fence on the hunt for anything that might be lying around loose. He failed to take into consideration the fact that the owner Of the place might be ip one of the trees, and when voice that had rather 8 threatening note in it came from among the branches, bidding him clear cut, he didn't stay to investigate further. Every time you find one of these junk men around your place kick him out.
