Mac Got a Crack.
Mac Gray and some other bo>,s
were having an argument up on Sew
enth street. Along came Bill Mullen
with both ears cooked.
The talk didn't suit Bill and he Of
fered some advice. OF course foIk,
who offer advice seldom ask any pay
for it.
Mac and the bunch informed Bill
that his advice wasn't at all needed
whereupon Bill got red under the
ears.
He made a pass at Mac Macs head
went down and hit the sidewalk an
awful lick. Fortunately the sidewalk
wasn't injured but Macs head for a
wonder sustained a slight crack.
The poor boy was WOODY for a
spell. He didn't know where he was
at. But the doctors soon told him.
When his pins got strong again he
hunted up a warrant clerk, got a
little piece Of paper that put Bill
in the coop.
Judge Pugh told Bill that there
were enough heads being broken in
Europe without starting something
over here and fined him a SO bill.

other. And not only that. his wife
