The Mysterious Working of Booze

How intoxicating liquor affects diff ferent brains was brought out foreibly in the city court Thursday morning when Patrick Quigiy and John Mac donald plead guilty to intoxication. Both are frequenters of the court.
 When Mac was picked up Wednes- day evening under an unusually heavy load he insisted that he was just after being thrown over Thomas A. Edison s building in New Jersey. Just previous to this he had come from interviews with the crowned heads of Europe. In the morning John had forgotten all about the crowned heads and was nursing his own big head which was as much worry as kings and queens. Twenty days and costs for John.
 Pats vision was effected. He mis- took automobiles for trolley Cars. He stopped number and tried to board them rendering dirty nickle. He had the motions of real traffic cop but as the silent policeman is doing It's duty well there is no vacancy. Pat however has a job for thirty days working for the county at Brooklyn.
