Denis O'Donnell ate rs cents worth
Of food in a Seventh-street restau-
rant and then told the waiter to
charge it to the Earl Of Euston. As
the distinguished Earl had started
eastward at the time, the waiter had
Mr.. O'Donnell arrested.
IF the Earl were here he'd lend
me the money in a minute" said Mr..
O'Donnell to Judge Mogan, "and if
you give me time to write to him he'll
send a check by return mail"
'I'll give you twenty-four hours in

answer" said the Judge, "and If the
money is not here tomorrow at this
hour I'll send you back to JAIL"
