true enough, for the Jacksons received
reporter yesterday in the bird store
and explained that they were merely
paying the price OF Humpty's reforma-
ton.
In order TO have a clear understand
ing Of what this is about it is necessary
20 know that yesterday morning Frank
Callahan. who lives next door to the
bird store, 81 La Sale street, was held
in $500 bail by Magistrate House for
hearing tomorrow, when Matthew Bruen,
Ill Audubon avenue, will be able 10
leave the Knickerbocker Hospital and

time also It is possible that three more
persons in the mob involved will have
been arrested. The two men under ar.
rest are charged with felonious assault.

store lies at the bottom of it.
: To let Mrs. Jackson tell it seems to
be the easiest way out Of the tangle.
I'm having little feast, dye see.'

for ten years and there's lot of guys
In the world who don't understand that
a guy can be wrong and then think bet
ter of it and turn straight and keep
straight.
well we're sitting in the kitchen
when there's a racket and a couple OF
shots outside and the plate glass win
dow there in the front OF the store

In the second half the Tigers showed
an aggressiveness which overcame the
defense of the Britons and the latter
were put on the defensive.
A feature of the game was the work
of Capt. Hopkins for the visitors. who.
although playing his first game at goal
position, saved many hard shots from
becoming scores by his active stick work.
Capt. Stinson. Dittmar and Hoff-
man led the scoring for the home team
