THE OLD-FASHIONED MAN.

do not like pajamas,
Inc old nightshirt for mine,
want no tlreless cooking,
The old wood stove is fine.
No chaiing dish creations
Can e'er appeal to me,
And plain Corned beef and cabhape
Is all that | can see,
| want no fancy salads;
Old-fashoned food is best;
You're welcome to the bouillun,
The lobster and the rest
| want no fussy neckwear,
III have mine ready tied;
won't wear pegtop trousers
With cuffs four inches wide.
Give me no belt and shirtwaist
| don't like Sissy men;
I'll wear my old suspenders,
And naught will happen then.
No calabash or meerschaum-
Give me the corncob pipe
| hate them durn green olives.
For ! like my fruit ripe.
Mix me no heightened cocktails.
/ take my Ticker straight;
am again improvements,
| fight them early. late
| never ride on railroads,
Or send a thing by wire;
or fighting new Inventions
] really never tire.
I don't believe In readin'
New thoughts Of any kind,
And this thing they call progress
Is ''humbug" to my mind,
| guess perhaps you've guessed it
For now NVbot J'Va cniJ.

CITY COURT CASES

Joseph Ciritellas arrested last Mon day for non-payment of his personal taxes, saved three cents by having his case re-opened in the city court today.
 Cirftella posted s1o as a guarantee for his appearance in court, and on his failure to present himself when the clerk called his name, his bond was declared forfeited
 This morning Cfritella appeared, and on explaining to the officials that he has not appeared because he did not understand the procedure, he secured a re-opening of his case.
 CiriteIla owed three years of per- sona1 taxes, amounting to s6. The costs of arrest, which are imposed on most of the personal tax delin- quents, amounted to $3-97. His total penalty was therefore s9.97. He got three cents change from the clerk of the court.
 Charles SchanzeI, who abused Hu- mane Agent Bishop when the lattef called at his home in Hillside avenue to investigate the complaint that a dog was being maltreated, was fined S and costs for his bad selection of adjectives.
