the streets tolerably clean Of roaming
dogs, but the law has either died or
been forgotten and the streets are al
ways full of dogs. The writer is no
enemy Of the dogs but few less on
the streets would be an Improvement.

street by the police Wednesday after
noon and taken to the guard house.

to believe that he was telling the
truth. When he began to revive he
confessed that his illnsss was brought
on by pint and a half of dispensary
liquor which he had imbibed within
the space OF an hour or two.
