among the clods that bloom into i'm
mortal flowers" and that, Hope is the
great air-c castle architect of human
life" 1T springs eternal in the hu-

be better after while. Weeping may
endure for the night but joy cometh

on d charge of petit larceny. O'Brien
is the first man to be arrested in this

mobile license which he is alleged to
have Immediately put to use on his
own car The license number was 3439
and was purchased by the owner of a
car of different make from the one
used by O'Brien.
Deputy Sheriff D. G. Driscoll, in dis
cussing the OBrien arrest yesterday,
stated that other arrests for misuse OF
automobile licenses would follow if
certain practice was continued. Mr.
Driscoll said that owners of more than
one car seemed to have the idea that
instead of placing the license at the
front and back of the machine, they
used the two for the same number OF
automobiles.
This will not be tolerated. de-
