known as Babe, has found his way into Justice Nielson's court. He has however, company in his affliction. Thursday evening Geo. Piffer, the shoemaker, Babe" and one other, were preparing to spend the night in Mir Piffer's room in the Ellingson block. Before retiring they became thirsty and having no funds at hand Babe was given the shoemaker's s watch to negotiate for the required refreshments. He failed in his mission and the third member of the trio was instructed with its care for the same purpose. He suffered a change of thought on getting into the street and instead of getting whisky jumped a Santa Fe train and was last heard of on his way to Wickenburg.
 The next morning all that George could remember was that the night before he gave Babe" his watch, con- sequently Babe" still had it. Upon being accused of this Babe" denied all knowledge of the time piece and George proceeded to express . his thoughts in actions augmented with a choice selection of language. About this time Marshal Brown happened along and took both the offenders in tow. They were released upon their own recogniZance, the trial to come up in the afternoon.
 It was postponed, however, on ac- count of another that took up all the time of the court. It is probable, though, that they will be dismissed with the understanding that Babe" leave town.

 "Questions and Answers followed, which brought out some very prac- tical lessons.
 Rev. D. P. Ward of California, next spoke. His subject was Three C's Work" Do you know, reader, what is meant by the Three C's Work? Well, if you do not know, ask a B. Y. P. U. boy or girl and you will find out. Few men have more power to hold the at tention of their hearers.
 Rev. Geo. H. Brewer spoke to the question Why Should B. Y. P. Us Exist?'' Mir. Brewer always has some thing good to say, and says it in a way that pleases. and edifies.
