According to Mr.. Helme, the Tor

FEARFUL FLOOD IS
STOPPED BY COURT
Mrs. Vecht Just Can't Bear
Nightly Waiings Of Love-
LOrn julius. She Says

Mrs. Fannie Vecht, Of No. 24A
Henry-st, objects SO strenously TO
finding the front and rear porches OF
her home soaked, every morning, with
the tears of julius Wagman, Of No.
300 Winder-st., that she swore out
q warrant, Thursday, charging Julius
with disturbing the peace. The war
rant was handed to Court Officer
Felix Rohr.
Mrs. Fecht explained that she has
a comely little maid of all work, 16
years old, and that julius, who Is 10,
Is madly infatuated with the maid.
She does not return his affection, and
he Is persona non grata around the
place, so, In the night, Julius has q
habit, according to Mrs. Vecht, of
taking up his position on the front
steps and weeping, until such time
as someone losses something at him,
when he adjourns to the back steps
and resumes the weeping.
/ Mrs. Vecht explained that II is q
strain on ones nerves to feel that
some love-lorn gentleman is flooding
either the back or front steps or ones
home with his tears, at all hours of
the night, and Justice Jeffries agreed
with her that the inundation ought
to be stopped.

new impetus to an enterprise,

on why this company should not
succeed; and when you consider
how many babies there are to be

pear daily, the outlook for the O.
