THE WRONG BND.
one of the citizens of the town had a
funny experience last night. At least II
was funny for everybody but him. Tie
was giving his opinion on the war In the
Far East TO number or fellow citizens,
when some one ventured 10 differ with
him and that started an argument at
once.
In the discussion which followed Mr
Citizen got SO excited that he stuck the
lighted end OF the cigar which he Was
smoking into his mouth and burned his
tongue The language which he used
was several degrees hotter that the fire In
the end OF the cigar and for few
minutes the air was bluer than the
clouds in a midsummer sky The man
looked bluer than the atmosphere as he
Indignantly walked away when some OF
the boys INDUCED I'm r hearty laugh.
THEY FOOLED HIM.
A local young man. with well devel-
oped mashing propensities got fooled In
good shape last night. lie was talking
with another man on Tockwotton street
I'm the city when two very good looking
girls came along. AS they passed the
young man made a remark TO one of
them in regard 10 the weather and a
conversation was kept up between the
man aud the girls until they had gone
some distance past.
Then the young man called after them
to know II they were going over the
bridge and was informed that they not
only were. but would walk slow to give
him an opportunity 20 catch up to them
He cut the conversation short and start
ed off-after the girls. but just as they
reached the corner OF one OF the streets
n short distance from the bridge the
girls turned the corner and went into
the first door they came to-
They had reached home and gone IN
before the masher could quite succeed
in overtaking them and taught him
salutary lesson about trying TO MAKE
feminine acquaintance on the street.
