An innocent little local sent in by
one of our advertisers last week has
been the cause of no end of trouble to
the editor. To say nothing of the
domestic heart-burning produced in
our own immediate family circle,
where no amount of denials on our
part has shielded us from the bitter
shafts of woman's scorn-and that
woman one who had promised to
nourish us in our sickness and honor
and obey us on all other occasions
but we have heard in no pleasing
manner, from most of the feminine
clerks in town who took exception to
the local. To settle the matter we
want to state right here that we are no

taken before Justice Pasco. They
pleaded guilty to petit larceny and
were fined $25 and costs, in default OF
which they were taken to the Hotel de
Sandy Crawford, to linger until the
days commence to grow longer. The
young men got off the train at 1890;
the theft was committed at IL, the pris-
oners were sentenced, placed in jail
and had commenced to serve their
time at 11.3O o'clock, and yet some
people kick over the laws delay and
cry out about the failure to get justice.
The fact is many of US get too much
justice and get ittoo quickly for our
own comfort.
