WOES OF THE MILKMAN.
Try Hi* Otit, He Never Succeed* I* Getting
Beck All Hi* Bottles.
“The greatest trial of my life, ” flays a
rniihnim, * -is bottles. Yes, sir, bottles,
If it wasn’t for bottles, I’d want nothing
better. Other people never think of hot
ties. I actually dream of bottles. It’s
bottles, bottles, bottles—who’s got the
bottles with me all the time!
“The most perfect system of book
keeping over invented will not account
for bottles. When I send out 100 bot
ties of milk in the morning, I’m dead
certain to lose track of half a dozen. I
never look upon them bottles all again,
Never again, sir! The milks are 8 cents
and the bottles are 8 cents. But the peo
pel who would scorn to steal milk will
keep-the l-ottles. They think bottles
don’t cost nothing, or they don’t think
nothing at all.
“Some time ago a ladv was behind
about seven bottles and hadn’t returned
any for a week. I know Home people
get two or three days behind with their
empties, but I couldn’t account for all
of these. While I was thinking about it
and look over across toward her ilat 1
saw her maid chuck an empty out of
tho kitchen winder into the lot. And,
don’t yon know, I went over there and
fouud a whole pile of broken bottles
and two or three whole ones. They
didn’t know any better. Now, there
was a lady in the other day, and I says,
•Ma’am,’ says I, ‘I’Ve got you charged
with live 1 Kittles here. ’
ti i What’s that?’ says she. ‘I haven’t
got any of your old bottles. You don’t
suppose I’d steal milk bottles, do yon?
When I get to stealing, I’ll take some¬
thing bettcr’n old castoff milk bottles.
I don’t like your milk anyhow. It’s
more’u half water, and I’m going to
change. ’
“And she did change, an^ I lost a
good customer by the mere mention of
bottles. Borne people keep their tea and
things in the bottles. Yon can’t go and
search for them. Yon must take their
word for it that they ain’t got none.
They are supposed to return their
empties tho next day, and they’ll koep
them for a week, I’d have to have a
carload of extra bottles to suit them.
Somo of them just slap on their empties
when tho dumbwaiter comes their way,
and some other milkman goes off with
them. They dou’t care. And then,
when you call up for their empties,
they get mad as hops and swear they
sent them down—which perhaps they
did, but not to us.
“And there’s tho servants that break
bottles and swear they returned them a
week ago, and their mistresses lndieve
them. It’s enough to drive a man to
drink!”—Now York Herald.

There was in the tramp’s appearance
a suggestion of the lethargy that follows
a gorging with free lunch and copious
libations of beer that belied his piteous
story of not baring bad anything to cat
“since yesterday morning. ’ The shades
of night were falling fast, and that may
hare to some extent accounted for the
mistake of the bum in selecting as tho
object of his whining appeal McClusky,
one of the best known of the Central
office detectives, who was “sleuthing
it” along the Bowery.
“Yon are shy dinner and supper for
yesterday and breakfast, dinner^ and
supper today. Come with me, said
McClusky, ahd be led the way into a
greasy little beanery from the door of
which hung a dingy sign announcing
“regular meals, 8 cents. ” Had tho va
grant known what was in store for him
be would have never crossed the thresh

“Give this his yesterday’s dinner, ’
man
said McClusky.
A slice of boiled beef, a boiled potato,
two slices of bread and a cup of muddy
coffee were soon set up. Slowly the
tramp attacked the meal, and McClusky
waited. When the dishes were clean,
tho detective beckoned to the waiter and
said:
“Bring the gentleman last night’s
supper. ”
Tho order was repeated. Tho tramp
began to suspect something, but ho
thought it the better to act his part
Perhaps his eccentric benefactor would
give him the price of a bed. Vain hopel
The supper disposed of, McClusky or¬
dered “the gentleman’s breakfast.”
“See here, pardy, I never oats Put one
meal a day, ” tho latter demurred
“It iB not enough. You told mo you
were starving, and of an officer of the
Now York police force it shall never be
said that he allowed a fellow man to
starve. ” And the detoctivo displayed
his badge.
“Bupposin I won’t eat?” said the
tramp sullenly.
“Then you take a ride. Sec?”
The trapped bum saw, and ho ate his
breakfast, and then in great agony be
managed to dispose of his dinner. Na¬
ture would stand no more.
“See here, pardy, I couldn’t eat any
more, not if I got two years for it,” he
pleaded in genuino distress.
McClusky had had his fun, and ho
excused his victim tho supper. As the
tramp rolled torpidly out of the place
he paused at tho door, and with a mur¬
derous gleam in his eyo said hoarsely,
“I’ll get oven wid you for dis, you

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
A Young Lady Who Had a Narrow Escape
From Conviction.
"Stories of conviction on circumstan¬
tial evidence aro rife in tho lawbooks
and have afforded the plot of many a
novel,” said J. S. Haberliug of Now
York. “A very sad case, not of con¬
viction, bnt almost as bad in its results,
occurred in New York recently. A
young lady of refinement, a stranger in
the city, obtained employment ns gov¬
erness in a gentleman’s family. One of
her pupils a girl 15 years old lost a
diamond ring. It was found in the
desk of the• governess. She declared
she had not seen it since it was last on
the girl’s hand, but she was hustled off
to tho Tombs, and unable to give bond
. kept ... there several . days, . exposed . to .
was
the companionship of tho most depraved
of her sex. She was taken to conrt in
tho Black Maria with a “ogress and a
white woman, both convicted felons, go
ing to be sentenced She was kept in
tho pen waiting for her case to bo called,
exposed to the impudent gaze of the
horde of courtroom loafers.
“When her ca»o was called, tho court
appointed a lawyer to defend her, as she
was penniless. Tho prosecuting witness
and her father told the story of the And
ing of the missing ring. Tho
tion that the accused had placed it there
was more or lew strong until the law
yer began to cross question the owner of
the ring. Guessing at the truth, by
adroit questioning he drew from the
unwilling witness the fact that she had
often pried into the desk and dressing
cos® drawers of the governess, and that
she had been so engaged an hour or so
before she missed her ring, and the fur¬
ther fact that the ring fitted loosely.
The judge dismissed the case promptly,
and the aocoser’s father apologized, but
the young woman, being of a highly
strung and nervous temperament, was
completely prostrated by her terrible
experience in the Tombs, and the ill
effects will, it is feared, be permanent ”
