Everybody Laughed.

The cities which have passed
antiexpectoration ordinances are
the scenes of numerous humorous
incidents connected with the en-
forcement of the new law. A well
dressed, evidently prosperous old
man, whose high color told elo.
quently of govt and other results of
high living, broke the law while in
street car recently. A quiet but
determined young man, whose man
ner was courtesy itself and whose
speech was that of an educated and
refined person, called the offenders
attention to the prohibitory sign.

repeatedly asked to be allowed to send

watched while being searched, but
offered no further resistance He was
placed in the ''slicl" cell, which is per-
