sentiments of the day. None Of those
Rrraigned before the bar pleaded for
leniency on the grounds that he faced the
smoke and din of battle when the country
was in peril. as it was thought some pro-
cocious vagrant might do. One wag did
say he was a fighter, but when questioned
declared he and John Barleycorn had gone
to the mat several times for gate money
and a ride in the new patrol. The wag
who gave his name as John Doe, said Mr..
Barleycorn usually got the money, while
ne got the ride in the wagon and faced the
music next morning.
The unusual often happens before the
peoples bar Before that famous place

settlements of children and other Gomez
tibles. are cleared by recommendations
from the pastor and Ladies Aid society
and given a clean bill. while at other
times they are condemned to be shot until
dead in the court yard by the court ser
gesnt.
Denizens OF that portion Of town sur.
rounding the city Jail are sometimes
startled to hear a pistol shot, followed
by yelp and the arrival Of the dead
animal wagon, all of which means another
dog has Joined the great majority in
canine hereafter and that some little child
has put away carefully a bunch of dog
biscuits which Fido will never eat, or Vt
may mean that some woman is calling
her neighbor mean old thing for hav-
ing sought the destruction Of her dog.
Anton Chido did the unusual thing before
the peoples bar Wednesday morning by
strewins a handful of human teeth out on
the judges desk as IL the man were throw
ing dice. Chido's strange action took the
magistrate quite by surprise. To see so
many teeth in one place is not an everyday
experience even for police Judge. so the
judge surveyed the array Of detached mo-
lars, incisors, bicuspids and CANNES With
curious interest
why these teeth?" questioned fhe Judge
of the prisoner.
Chido had been arrested on a charge OF
drunkenness and intended to tell an illus
trated story Of his life on Tuesday. Before
telling the story the prisoner opened his
mouth so as to convince the Judge the
whole thing was on the square.
| Chido is a man who wants to see what Is
going on, so he called on a dentist Tuesday
/ and contracted for the removal Of all his
| upper teeth. The dentist told Chido about
modern dentistry and of the painless meth
DDS now in vogue but the man would not
listen for a moment to the idea Of taking
gas, vitalized air or anything else which
might make him an ex parte to the tooth
pulling
! Chido just braced his arms and legs
against the chair, said Let 'er go, doc"
and then the teeth began to drop like bull
lets on a tin roof, Chido would not even
wait for tho dentist to wrap the teeth up
for him, but just gathered them UP, placed
them IN his pocket went out and became
intoxicated.
That is where the peoples bar part comes
In. Chido started to walk to his home at
$500 North Twenty-seventh street. stopping
at every saloon on the way. At Twenty
fourth and Cunning streets Patrolman Egan
sent Chido off the street by calling for the
new patrol wagon.
AS the police Judge could not see any par
ticular end of Justice TO be served by ining
or sentencing Chido, he discharged the man
and expressed the hope he would not have
to have any more teeth pulled for a long
time.
