A Crude Sketch.

Many are the pictures one runs
across from day to day. Yesterday l
watched a queer individual plead not
guilty through his attorney in GRIM
mai court. He was charged with
some sort of liquor violation-God
knows what it was! There was sort
OF ugly pathos about his makeup
very appealing to the person who
likes original sketches--for this man
was sketch alright. He was too
small for his clothes, which gave him
the appearance OF two sticks standing
IN a cornfield dressed in cast-off gar
ments. His eyes were beady and red
resembling cranberries boiled too
long. His eyelashes were SO thick
and shaggy that they looked like
wide caves on nondescript house.
His mouth might have been stable
door, judging from large chew of
tobacco inside which resembled n
small bundle of hay. When his teetch
came down on one corner of it, his
small eyes vanished entirely-lost in
puffy flesh on his cheeks. He stood
meekly for moment while he wait
ed for someone to tell him TO sit
down. Requested to do, he removed
MS Tobacco and waited. Presently he
put the lid on those cranberries and
forgot all about himself. Life must
have been burden to him. 1t wasn't
hard to sense that. Here he was
the law wouldn't let him do as he
pleased where liquor was concerned.
He might make good living If let
alone. Now he supposed he'd be put
: in Jail for an indefinite period Just be-
cause booze appealed to him as de-
cidedly worth while for number of
reasons.
Pretty soon somebody put ques-
tionto him and he came back to earth
again. What was he supposed to say?
oh, yes He said it. His attorney
would get him out of trouble If any
one could. Lief was all lottery.
Some folks got along alright and
others got along all wrong. What
did it matter anywayi

that event this city will be vast will

This is Valentine day-the pretti-

l wish some one would send me gor-

one? We're supposed to have out
grown such nonsense, but we haven't

you're past thirty you're old and tired
of everything young and foolish. And

naer being TRAGEDY. Did you ever
have anyone say this about you: "She
wears too-young hats-too- giddy

posed to wear after she passes the
