In imposing fines, Judge Hahn. said:
Il realize that you feel the incon-

anti-spitting crusade is an important
matter, and one which affects the whole
community. Under the ordinance I can
pursue but one course, upon your pleas

Phil Mitchell, L s. White and Ira

Sentimental attachment for the city
of Rock Island played not an unimpor-

which none of the men whose money

ly been engaged. 1t was a stroke that
saved to the city one Of its

gives promise of rising to be not one of
the greatest, but the greatest in the
world IN its line. At any rate, this Is
the goal towards which the ambition

So Casey donned his clothes and found
It really was a bat
A light was struck and Casey grabbed

He made whack and missed the bat,
but broke chandelier;
The next time Mr.. Bat came by he
struck, but all in vain,
He broke the sideboard beveled glass
and missed the bat again.
But Casey held his trusty club and

The bat came lodging through the air

He ducked, then stumbled, then fell

She took the stick and hit the bat and
