 for all he gets in this world. even though he is iliiterate and acknowI- edges his own weaknesses. He had been jailed late one night in com pany with a Mexican who had as saulted him while he was drunk. and worked his face over very noticeably.
 The next morning they were both sober. When Pat got glimpse of
 the Mexican in his sober senses he re-
 called him as the one who had given
 him a terrible beating the night pre-
 vious. Before the officers discovered
 what was going on he had beaten the
 Mexican up in the drunk cell. so
 badly he was hardly recognized as the man thrown in the night before

The point is that whoever buys tea will be permitted to take home the cup and saucer in which it is served, as a souvenir and there will be cups and saucers of all kinds and values offer ed. But the ladies who serve the tea are doing so in the interest of the building fund of the club and they do not proposes to lose money on the china. no matter how cheaply they sell the tea. The bazaar is an annual fes tiyal with the club and through it the building fund has been so stimulated that the dream of owning its own home, seems no longer chimerical but promises in the near future to be real ized.
