ENDS IN WALK TO ISLAND

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Because his
VIE, Lizzie, to whom he has been
married twenty years, appealed to the
ponce, Patrick Carr, a laborer of 452
west Sixty-third Street, was held in
$1,000 bail for his good behavior for
two months by Magistrate House in
the West Side Court Sunday. Patrick
couldn't get bail, so he will spend
sixty days on the Island.
The wife said she did not mind n
moderate amount of chastisement. but
when 1t came to being kicked in the
race with pair of shoes newly half
soled she thought it about time to
draw the line.
I didn't kick her, your Honor"
said Patrick in defense. II stepped
on her face accidentally when I tried
10 get out of the room. She had stab
pea me three times on the leg with a
can opener. Some women tried to hold
her, and in jerking away from them
she must have fallen"

WATERBURY, CONN, Aug. 20
Inc identity of the two-year-oId how
on Whom the amazing operation of

instead of twisted feet Without

Newspapers last Sunday told in de-
tail of the wonderful operation: of

bones from the bodies Of two healthy
children who had died suddenly nv

that the lad walks without the sign |

attention of medical men by his re-

Few If any could have resisted it
long And the offender in question
didn't try long. He gave n surrep-
uuous glance in the direction of the
COP and then went ahead.
SIX bananas-a small bunch of them
were slyly distracted from the
wagon, and one was rapidly going
into the place where it would do the
most good.
Then somebody yelled "stop thief"
and the culprit was caught. In the
twinkhng of an eye the policeman
was back on his job and eager to en-
force the law.
But he saw at once that the case
was one that bahied his skill. The
thlet was the cops own horse. And
the animal didn't seem the least
alarmed at being detected. He made
no attempt to escape. All he did was
10 heave a kind of equine sigh when
the bananas were taken away from
him, for they were large and golden
and altogether refreshing.
