Pat eIbney and JUDGE Fox.

Every spring Pat Gibney, a we'll
known Taunton character, goes over
to East Taunton to see the herring
run. He hasn't missed seeing this
sight any year since he arrived flom
ireland thirty-nine years ago.
Last spring, after watching the
behring's for half an hour or more,
Pats curiosity was satisfied and he
started for home. Not having much
money, he decided to walk home and
save the fare. He was t~rudging along
the road, with his AT. D." pipe in his
mouth and blackthorn stick in hand,
when an automobile came up behind
him. Tuning, Pat saw the familiar
face of Judge Fox.
Good morning, Pat" said the
Judge.
Morning, your Honor" said Pat.
Jump in, Pat, and I'll give you
4 ride to the green" said the judge.
They had not gone far when Judge
Fox turned to Gibney and said:
We'll, Pat, you would be a long
time in Ireland before the Judge of
the town would give you a ride in his
automobile"
Faith. an | would, your Honor
said Pat, and you'd be a great deal
longer over there before they'd make
the likes Of you judge Of a town.

PIckpocket's Hand IN a Mole Trap,
Louis Hugon, a young pickpocket OF
seventeen, had a most unfortunate ex'
p~erience this afternoon while exercis
ing his profession.
A crowd had assembled around a
fallen horse In the Place dItalie, and
Hugon saw a lady whose bullying peck
cts offered all kinds of tempting pos
sibilities. Without further ado he
deftly introduced his hand, but in
stead of grasping the expected purse
found his finger securely caught in 8
new mole trap which the lady had
lust purchased. With Sp%artan-like
heroism he uttered no cry, but tried
to withdraw his hand. The lady, how
ever, became conscious that something
was wrong, and Hugon was seized by
the bystanders and handed over to the
police. The latter took him to the
Hospital de la Pitie, where the ampu
tation of his finger was adjudged nee
