BREAKS PROMISE
TO THE COURT
John Donlin Again Falls Off
Water Wagon.
WAS GIVEN A HEAVY FINE.

Despite his solemn promise made to
Judge Converse and Prosecutor Jes-
sup, to cut out the booze and become
a model citizen, John Donlin found
that he had promised more than he
was able to do. Saturday John fell
off the water wagon with q resounding
thud, and this morning was arraigned
in the city court charged with drunk.
John hung his head when the charge
against him was read, then entered a
plea of guilty For this and numer-
Gus past offenses of a similar nature,
Judge Converse assessed a fine of SO
and costs.
About a month ago. Donlin was ar
rested for drunk. He told the court
and prosecutor that he thought he had
enough will power to resist his appe-
tite for strong drink. Donlin said that
he had good position and if the court
would not send him to Jail he would
promise never to touch another drop of
booze. Donlin was taken at his word
and released. Today he is much hui
inflated because he allowed the old
temptation to overcome him and cause
him to violate lis oath

TOLD IN FAIRY STORIES WAS

Those people who maintain that in

substantiate their arguments. Today

American girl, native of this city,
while the defendant is an Italian, en-
ployed as a laborer ON the Panhandle
railroad. Signora Ferrante also petit
tons for the custody of the child.
In the complaint, Signora Ferrante
says that she and the Signor were
united in marriage December II, 1906,

and inhuman treatment. The Signora
says that her spouse shortly after
their marriage acquired the habit of
beating her. The plaintiff is repre-
sented by Attorney w. c. Converse.

Brought Another Load.


 " Not long after I graduated from the medical college" said the young physi- elan, I sat in my office, wondering when something would happen that would give me an opportunity to deal out some pills and powders or to make use of some of the bright and shining instruments in my new instrument case, a woman drove up in a lumber wagon from which she unloaded six children. She marched them into the office and said she wanted them all vaccinated and vaccinate them I did, although made up my mind that had struck the strenuous life before finished the job. When the last sleeve was rolled down and was expecting my fee, the woman said:
 "' Say, doctor, do youexpect to be here this afternoon?'
 |" Yes.' said I, swhy?'
 "' Because if you are I'll be up with another load
