When a Kiss Was valuable.

The practice OF kissing the hands was
instituted by the early Roman rulers

was reserved as special mark Of con

Police Court.

The police court had nothing
but minor ofenses to deal with
since our last publication, the
charge of drunk and disorderly
predominating.
James Waters, an impecunios
tourist, was the first victim
brought before his honor, j. +.
MahOney. After hearing the
statement Of the arrestipg Off
Ger, the Judge gave him S15 or
fifteen days, and suspended SEN
tence for three hours. At the
expiration of the three hours
the tourist could not be found by
the Marshal and it was pre-
sumed that he had shook the
dust of the streets of Winslow
from the soles of his brogans.
Frank Moore and r. Gould
were up against his honor on
the same charge, received the
same sentence and were given
the same opportunity to shake
the town. After the arrestlng
officer had made his statement,
the Weary Willies claimed they
had done nothing. The Judge
very politely and courteously
informed them that if they were
found within the corporate linn
it's after the expiration of the
three hours the Marshal would
find something for them to do.
Evidently they did not want
anything to do, at any rate the
Marshal was unable to find
them.
j. E. Burke and Joe Albright
were also arrested for being
drunk and disorderly. Were
given the same sentence and
the same opportunity to leave
the city. One of them remark
ed that he didn't want three
hours in which to get out of this
place,
At the present rate it is only
a question Of a short time until
the vicious hobo element will
give this place a wide berth.
Those who are broke and are
willing to work, and who be-
have themselves will not be in
terfered with.
