And His Wish was Gratifed by Night
Sergeant Betzold

A large package Of dirt with a very
nicley blackened eye and better
jag walked into the police station last
night and asked for a place to
"hop. " His wish was gratified and
he will have a chace to tell Mayor
Zimmerman this morning how he
came into possession of his many ac-
complishments. He would not give
his name last night but claimed that
he had come in over the c., c. & L.
and was very sore at the road for not
having any lumber piles or empty box
cars to sleep III. When searched, all
that could be found was an empty
pint bottle and a cake Of soap. The
latter was unused but the former
showed signs of hard usage.

at the peer. What are you shaking

same to me. I have got no fault to
find. / am just waiting till the boiler
explodes."
The boiler explodes? Why. you are
crazy, man." exclaimed the engineer,
angrily, preparing to turn the peer
out as dangerous crank.
Well" retorted the earl. IF you
work ten minutes longer with that
loose screw there the boiler will GER
tainly explode"
The engineer, gazing in the direction
indicated by Lord Ross, paled and

blurted out.
