ested in BO many different nurseries ,

association of day nurseries , that it
Is necessary for her to have n regular

him , alarming thoughts passing through
her mind for fear ho would nsk for
a steamboat or n railroad system.
"Anything nt all I want ? " persisted
Tommy.
"Yes , anything you want"
Tommy's little black face grow pos
itively radiant "Toll him , " ho said ,
scarcely restraining his ocstncy , "tell
him to bring mo a great big pork
chop. "
Ho was not a very hard looking char ,
nctcr an ho stood before Magistrate
Kornochnn , who IB noted as Now
York'B society Judge , accused of ells-
orderly' ( conduct , but ho had given a
policeman a lively ten minutes the
night before. When the policeman
finished his story the magistrate asked
the prisoner what ho had tp say for
himself.
"Well , Judge , 1 am not such an aw-
fill bad follow and I have never boon
arrested before. Last night I Just got
a little too much to drink nnd I sup
pose It made mo feel nasty. "
"Do you llvo In this district , nnd Is
there anyone who can speak for you ? "
asked the magistrate. "You know
that for all that I can toll you might
bo lying to mo. "
"Yes , " replied the 'man , "I llvo In
this district and perhaps the llonton-
tint known me. "
The magistrate turned to the lieu
tenant who was standing behind the
desk , and asked If ho know the man.
"No. " replied the lieutenant , "I do
not know him. " -
"Well , " said the magistrate turn
ing to the prisoner , "what have you
got to say ? "
"If I wore such a bad diameter as
they are trying to mnko mo , ho would
know mo , wouldn't ho ? "
"You may go , " said the magistrate ,

games will follow at convenient in

attend , than it would if It was held
at either of the other towns.

as we did not expect to see as com
plete n plant west of the Missouri

Norfolk would look It over when In
town they would have more of n
realizing sense of the magnitude of

wonderful work being done by this
same Norfolk Dally News In the way
of educating , opening up and develop

could bo held In the county Jntl until
both line and costs of prosecution nro
paid , but County Attorney Stewart

satisfied the amount of the fine.
