Meet Mr.. II. P. Cassidy. Of Phils-

hes TO his credit about five thousand
convictions. Fish dyed 10 make them

bonbons suspected-and convicted-of

looked upon and saw that they were
not good.
When Mrs. Brown, of Philadelphia,
took in her bottle Of cream in the
morning she probably gloated over the
thick. rich consistency OF it, and
thought OF the nutritious butter fat 1t
contained. This was before Mr.. Cas-
sidy's little early morning adventure,
however. This luscious appearance was
secured by means of annatto, the nu-
tritious butter fat having been care
fully removed by the frugal dairyman.
An Early Morning Adventure
As for the early morning adventure
of Mr.. Cassidy.
A milk wagon rattles down a sub
urban street and stops in front OF the
house of one of its customers. Inc
driver jumps down and is about TO
enter the yard. when a woman comes
from behind a neighboring house with
a pitcher. "Will you give me pint
of cream?" Sure" says the driver,
and he apparently does. The driver
makes his other deliveries and goes
of into another street
The woman comes from behind the
house again and jumps into the buggy
in which Mr.. Cassidy Is waiting at the
corner. The cream" 10 taken to be

The result of Mr.. Cassidy's early morn

large number of arrests and convlc-
