And set his strength against a swollen tide,
And gave his spirit TO be crucifed,-
For love of justice and for love of truth!

CONSTABLE'S PREDICAMENT.
Pretty Woman With fearful Blue Eyes
a Short Sandy Man and a Trunk
Cause Deep Distress.


Constable Tom Clay vas between
two fires yesterday. AS a matter of
fact he was singing a little today and
he will remember about it tomorrow
and the next day, says the Las Vegas
Optic.
If Tom Clay isn't gallant he isn't
anything. It's the plague of Judge
Wooster's life trying to decide wheth-
er to give the palm for gallantry TO
Tom Clay or Judge Wilson. 1t is no
wonder then that Mr.. Clay was all
broke up when an exceedingly pretty
young woman came to him yesterday
with hen llue eyes swimming En
heart breaking tears and told how she
was being pursued by a bad man who
wanted to attach her trunk and pre-
vent her escape. Nor did it help mat
tiers any for the genial constable when
a short. sandy man appeared on the
scene of troubles and insisted that the
young woman with the blue eyes swim
ming in heart breaking tears, was MS
wife. The short, sandy man went De
hind the scenes and the pretty young
woman took charge of Mr.. Clay again
She brought her eyes with her ano
they were bluer than before and swan
in brighter, sadder tears.
That is why Tom Clay looked very
very perplexed yesterday and today
and that is why he contemplates
writing a tragedy entitled, "WhaI
Could the Poor Boy Do" AS for th'
woman with the blue ewes. the shor'
sandy man and the trunk if they do no

Wooster will settle it for them.
