by captious critics unwarranted inter-
ference Herewith. Again the assemblage
expressed commentator.
But" said Mr.. Conroy, "she can't
sing for sour apples"
That's your opinion, but 1t amt
mine,' rejoined he of the pasty counten-
ance. Besides. 1t amt no reason why
you should annoy all these folks who
have paid their dimes. Have you been
hired to knock this lady's act?''
Maybe you have been bribed to boost
it?" was Mr.. Conroy's whitening re-
tort
Mr.. Conroy averred that he did not
strike the chalky-visaged man, but mere
ly guarded his head from blows aimed at
1t by the latter. Nor could any of the
persons summoned to testify as witnesses
of the conflict state with certainty who
did deliver the opening wallop. Even the
special policeman who arrested Mr.. Con-
roy and charged him with having dis
turbed the peace of the temple of vaude-
vile would not swear that the defendant
was first to smite. So there was nothing
else for Police Judge Morgan to do than
dismiss Mr. Conroy with the customary
reprimand and warning.

as bad as the other
How would thirty days apiece suit

Fine" replied Mrs. Green.
Then thirty it is

Wallace H. Moore borrowed q guitar
from NJ. L. Garcio of 845 Mission street,
his avowed purpose being to serenade
a young lady to whom he was paying
court. but instead of lingering meath
lattice and pouring out his love in senti-
mental song, he toured the Sixth-street
saloons and shouted ribald verse until
all his ready money was spent, then
pawned the guitar for 81. Judge Conlan
has the case under advisement.
Antonio Alvarez returned from sea to
find that his betrothed Miss Louise Diaz
of 1913 Dupont street, was spending her
Sunday afternoon at Harbor View with
one Perez, rival claimant for her hand
In great anger Antonio visited his tickle
sweetheart's boudoir and cut to shreds
various articles of wearing apparel which
he had given to her as the nucleus Of
a wedding trousseau.
you could have knocked me down
with a feather when I saw them beau
tiful clothes ruined" said Louise to
Judge Mogan: ''and when 1 called him
down for doing 1t he made pass at me-
and then punched the cop that pinched
him"
I'm all through with her." gIoomily
muttered Antonio, land only wish had
the money I've spent on her."
Now. Tony, you shouldn't say that"
Miss Diaz gurgled. bestowing blandish-
ing smile on him whom she addressed
TITS no use. kid" was his response;
I've washed me hands Of ye for good"
He was dismissed and Miss Diaz looked
doleful as with eyes upturned he walked
past her.
j. Edward Britt was disporting himself
in the breakers that dashed the ocean
beach, and his brother Willis was medi-
tatively watching him, probably devising
ways and means by which the natatorial
feature of the training process could be
made as pecuniarily remunerative as the
indoor stunts. when Frank Patalha, re-
Gently arrived from Omaha, said some
thing to a fellow spectator of ]. Ed
wards gambols that started a contro-
versy, which resulted in fight and the
arrest OF Mr.. Patalha by Patrolman Dow.
'I keep a saloon In Omaha" said Mr..
Patalha to Judge Mogan, land came here
to improve my health. simply said that
Britt would have no picnic with Nelson"
You cannot improve your health"
quoth his Honor, "by disparaging the
fistic ability of j. Edward Britt, much
less by disturbing his communings with
Neptune. J. Edwards daily sea bath is
just as necessary to his physical develop

jecting from the face OF Willis essential
to the preservation of that young gentle
mans remarkable mental clarity"
Then the charge against Mr.. Patalha
was dismissed.
Charles W. Ridgway was driving a Grip
pied horse when Humane Of1cer McCur-
RE commanded him to return 1t to the
stable, and the very next day Mr.. Ridg-
way reappeared on the public thorough
fare as custodian OF horse that ex-
