customary to plumb out the cheeks SOS

spoon or thumb into the mouth and
pressin' from the inside.

'>Caught tho Policemen.

All theN countryside is laughing at an
experience Of the police at Tough
'Neagh, Ireland. An intercounty cock
dght was arranged between birds from
Londonderry and Antrim and was held
on. one of the islands In the Tough.
The police got wind Of it and arrived,
as they usually doA late. All the availa-
bic boats had been pressed into use by
the spectators, and the police, after
trying, vainly to secure transportation
to the tisland, determined to swim, for
it. Just,as they arrived the bout ended,
and every boat put OF for the main
land again: The police had swim
back, for their pains, and when they
reached the mainland they found that
their clothing, pver which they had neg
lected to leave a. guard, had disappear
ed. They had d ten mile march in
dripping underclothes to the nearest
barracks, where they were put to bed
until new uniforms could be procured.
