The Critics full of bile and spleen
And chronic indigestion;

Beyond the slightest question.
He sits way up in front and glares
His forehead lined with creases,
And then he hunts his hole and tears
Your Offering to pieces.
The Critics never known to smile
Oils union wouldn't stand ip;
There is no play of any style
But what the Critics panned it:
OF course you do not give D.
Whether he boost or fout you,
And yet you read his dope to see
What he has said about you.
At using English he no SLOUGH:
He's there with style and finish:
But OH, he has an awful crouch.

Yet some folks ask him out to dine
CTheir purpose they betray not):
They may get praise that's simply fine
And then, again. they may not!

A quartette of rough looking char acters, who boarded a Norwich & Westerly car at White Rock, Wednes- day morning, paid their fares until they claimed their money gave out, were put off between the Hallville car barn and the State hospital after making considerable disturbance and threatening to smash up everything in the car. Walking along the track ways, they waited till the next car an hour later, which they boarded, re- newing their roughhouse tactics. There were threats of shooting the conductor and their language was vile. Motorman Broadway and Conductor Wilmot were powerless to quell the disturbance and the quartette arrived in Franklin square at 1.20, where they got off
 Later in the afternoon when they had been trailed by Conductor Wilmot they were found by him and Police man Smith in a saloon on Central wharf Three of the four-Peter Jar wis of Fall River. Michael F. Nelson of Warren, R. l.. and Philip Bushey of Clairmont, N.

When Chief Linton returned ha deSOatchad Policeman Smith fO look them up. The assistance of Con- ductor Wilmot helped in the arrest. Supt Stephen J. Kehoe of the trolley road was on the first car when the men were put off.
