While music may al times have
charms to soothe the savage breast,
nevertheless the Japanese who gave
an interesting and impromptu recital
near the vicinity of King and Liliha
streets early Sunday morning. found
out that the alleged spell failed TO
encompass one Matsumoto, who was
rudely awakened from placid dreams
by the most outlandish melody TO
which mankind has ever been subject
ed.
The disturbance took place during
the wee ema' hours of the morning.
Several oyster can fddles which
looked as if they had done valiant
service as tar ladies in a house-roof-

of the celebration. He was told that
il was not his birthday, furthermore
that he had no speaking part in the
entertainment, consequently he had
better seek further repose at boiler

morning. when he was charged with
lating one of the statutes.
The case came up as a result of the
misguided efforts of the sensation
mongers employed upon a morning
newspaper who through ignorance oil
malice endeavored to perpetrate q
rank fake scare concerning an in
Tasion of Belgian hares, none of which
are found TO exist on the island.
Wagner stated that the rabbits al
his place had furnished many tooth

never been allowed to leave the prem
