suggests that few days ago "A man
was up for dealing m impure milk. IN
which f1i 1inaldehyde had been placed as
a prcscrVative. lie was cared for so far
as his direct obligation TO the court
was concerned, by "a personal friend who

a case of an embamer looking after tha

il Is some time since the police Of this
city felt called upon TO muzzle street
preachers of the anarchistc doctrine
There is an opportunity now for action.
This is what a wild-eyed, lantern-ja
man enunciated in Burgess square last
Friday evening" THE policemen In uni
form are our eneraies in citizens dress
they are our friends IL is necessary FOR
YOU To understand the making OF bombs,
for 1t will be necessary for you TO Use
them sooner or later We authorized
the killing of King Humbert and there
are other removals to follow"
IL looks very much as il my friend
Beverly S. Lake was some pumpkins"
in the Fifth ward, for he was unani-
mously chosen as the president of the

81 weigh five pounds more this morn
ing than | did yesterday morning" said
Mr.. Ezra *. Perkins today. l asked

nal that the Granger boomers are about
ready to throw up the sponge
Frank J. Clinton informs me that the
Fourth Ward Republican club has OPEN
ed headquarters at No. 81 Washington

| heard a story yesterday OF n joke
that was played by a resident of the
North End, "A day or two ago, on a fam
lily which resides on Lippitt street. About
o'clock In the evening he rang the bell
OF the house. and said: Excuse me,
but there is man out here who has
broken his leg, and I thought you might
like 10 give him some assistance" The
man of the house ran out, and Just at
the corner of his house he found a man
with a cane, who was using profanity
to beat the band. WHAT'S the mat
ter?" saio the woud-be good Samaritan
Have you broken your Lego" Yes, l
have" replied the profane one. but IL
is a wooden one, and it will cost me SIS
to buy a new one and then hobbled
off by the aid of his cane.
II is remarkable how little some men

program was the delightful Invitation
to the Dance" A lady asked the musi-
clan who the composer was, and he re-
piled: II don't know, nut I'll find out"
A few minutes later he returned and
said: at is some feller named Weber, but
l don't know who he is" Can you inn
agine musician who mas not heard OF
Karl Won Weber?

tural life he liked and others he didn't
asked him II he succeeded I'm raising
vegetables enough TO carry him through
, the winter. and he cast his eyes toward
a corner OF the porch and nodded, say
ing: There's what a raised I'm the way
| OF potatoes" | looked and saw about a
| peck OF what took az first 20 he walnuts.
| but Mr.. Chevers assured me they were
| potatoes and that the pile had cost him
| SIS.
