you give me some marked money I'll
get you some whiskey." Now the sher'

want pint awful bad. So he gave the
man two marked one dollar bills and

pocket. Result: Patrick Curtis is in
jail and Velma Worthington an excep-
tionalIy pretty colored girl, is In jail

such an Organization look very promls-
ing and the company will probably Do

Fl. this is not especially war measure,
the Organization of The Maccabee Rifle
Companies having been authorized at
the convention Of officers in 1915, but
re- il designed for those who decline to
