He Stole a Peach. There is no longer any question about the efficiency of the police force of this city. Friday, a farmer from one of the upper counties came to the city to sell cotton. Late that afternoon he passed Geo. Morris’ store, and on a stand was a tempting array of California peaches. The farmer could not resist file temptation to picked one up, and kept on around the corner to the Fourth Ward. Officer Copeland was standing in front of Lowerys drug store, and thought the fellows actions were suspicious, so lie went in and asked M '. Morris about it. After receiving the information that the fellow had taken the peach without the permission of i anyone, Mr. Copeland followed him into the Fourth Ward, and ran him into a wagon vard-.

Oust'' (tee leaned only by our ev Mneive twonu THE HUSTLER OF ROME, SUNDAY OCTOBER, 14- 1894. fl TRAGIC TRAGEDY, I (Once upon a time while speed ing the summer at Niagara Fulls and having a good time, the editor of the leading society paper ask'd me for a Short Society Sketch. The following touching story was the result ol his bo'dm es —The author.) “Help help, o- I shall rscep’’’ I the words rang out clear in 'he midnight air this 14 day of Aug. I 1889. The snow was three or four fee deep all up and down Broad Street I and here and there a stray flower might bo seen showing its fragrant blossoms as though in protest of this wilderess of white. • Hist what sound was that’’ laughingly remarked Reginald de Smythe, drawing his cl*»ak more closely around his well knit form and wiping the perspiration from his manly fcrehead. “Tis but the sighing of the winds ’’ hissed Alonzo Sapolio. Carefully lighting a 10X perfecto he passed Reginald a “Cubaro di Ramino,” which was & “two ft-r.” Turning suddenly on his heel he walked down the street at least a block and then came back. ‘Tis now almost my dinner hour Tn about seven hours or more that East Rome car will come. Until then farewell ’’ He said with a wicked glance into the fair and honest face of Reginald. “ Alas* alas, said Reginald, he speaks the truth, what shall I do what shall I do. II Reginald de Smvthe was the hero, i Os course, you know that, for all he- ' r ’ps are named Reginald or Clar ence. He was not like other heroes, however, he was only the handsom est, wittiest, most geierous, and smartest young man on bis side of town. Reginald was very poo’. Alonz > Sapolio was the villain and neveij’poke. hissed. H ; * was very deceitful as his name would indie tc. His name was Savour, but his record w is not clear. See ! It is part of the contract that each assault and attempt to joke must be explained. He smoked cigarettes and was very wealthy. 111 R. ginaid thought Alonze was his friend and therefore he made him his co itidant. They both loved the beautiful, ae <o upliehed bewitching, and alfogeth er lovely Opeha Hyacinth Roseb'os som. Mii-s Roseblossom was the only daughter of the editor of the lead ing paper in town, tlieref ire a great heiress. That part of the city that hi r papa didnot own he thought he did an bow Reginald told Alonzo of his love and inter med him tha* he would use eve ry means in his power to win her. “I shall use you as a mutual friend Alonzo’’ he said oue day in a ric rac tone. “Use Sapolio’’ hissed Alonzo, “never,never, though every fence and daily paper in all this laud should proclaim the advice.” “Wie gehts, partz vons francis arma virumque earn,” sai 1 Regin. aid in several different languages. Reginald waa very smart and spoke a 1 kinds of tongues. Reginald left the office of Alonzo and walked down the seven flights of stairs in his m ist haugh ty in inner. “To tuink that .1 should have been so insulted by 1 this low born Sapolio whose very name suggests dirt and filth. I a de- Smyth. O tempera O mores Heaven be praised I have forgotten my La tin anyhow.” This thought seemed to please him a whole lot and therefore he j began planning his revenge. IV The town was all excitement. Vegetables were at a premium. There was to be a show in town and Gordon Hiles and Scullins were both going, and all the other boys and people. But they don't amount to much. Reginald saw one of the stands and one of the lithographs. “Ah, ha,” he sighed in a- pale blue tone of voice, “my revenge i sweet and close at hand.” V “Dr Yerser what kind of a show is that tomorrow night at thb op- era house” laughed Reginald, one j day to the genial doctor, s > well known to all people of ths city. “Oh, elegant , the best of the sea-' i sun, very fine sir, very fine” said I the Doctor in his own copywright-' I cd business-get I inf - nanner. “Give me two tickets and re s?rve them way d ovn in front, right next to I)n 1 Turner, and ! send them with my compliments to Alonzo Sapolio" taid Reg-1 i in: Id. “Cusses on him” he muttered in [ I thunder toi ei “1 have him now.’ VI i “What is this, said Sapoii >, tear ing open the note in a most violent i manner, “a couj le o “comps” to (he show.” Will 1 please accept? Will a duck swim? Will a bird fly? Will a man take a couple of | "comps” to the opera house? Well I should rath. r gue is. ” VII Reginald occupie 1 a back s at in the “peanut” where he could watch the whole show and likewise s ee the effect of his grim revenge on Alonzo. The play went on and as act sue ceeded act Reginald grew impa tient. “Well he ntvercome, never come, he muttered sot o voce. “At last at last,” he cried as the seven teenth item on the program was reached “revenge is mine” The 17th. item read “The great and only C Morgan C. in his in imitable creation “Old chestnuts revived” Reginald’s vengance" was com-1 plete. The End. Only One. There was once a little girl and the only reason there is none 1 such now is that she has grown a big girl—who talked of every thing in th * plural. Especially was she likely, at the table, to as < for! “forks,” “spoons,’’ or “potatoes,” when it was but one of the articles she really desired. One day her papa sad to her at ! dinner, “Kitty, don t ask for bis-, cuits, Say, ‘please g ve me a bis- I cuit.’You don t want more than ' x • ~ I one at a time. “No, papa,” was the dutiful an- I swer; but presently camo the re quest : “Please may I have some rolls?” “Aroll,” corrected her father, I and she repeated the words care fully. Then all went well until the cheese was handed round, and this Kitty was not usually allowed to eat. Yet she delighted in it, and realized that her success in ob taining a be determined by her manner of asking for it. Leaning forward, she said anxious ly, in a soft sweet voice : “Papa, will you please give me a chee?” No Quarrels. “Auntie Coll ms.” and old color ed woman who lived in a small country town, was well known to the residents by reason of her good cooking and queer sayings. Ac cording to her own story, she had peculiar gifts as a peacemaker. “No’m, I never had no great trouble bringin’ up my fambly,” she said to a visitor who asked her about her daughters. “The gals wus good gals ’nough till they got gain’ into sassiety. Then, bless ye! ye couldn’t live longwith ’em. They wa’n’t satis fied to quarrel ’long of me, but they bed to get married an’ quar rel ’long of their husbands. “Now I never would stan’ no such doin's, an’ I tole ’em so. “I says, ‘Now gals, you knows j ‘st what my principalities be ; you knows jest how well I’ve tried to fetch you up, you knows jest how peaceable I allers lived with your i pa.’ “An’ldid,” continued auntie, with earnestness; “me an’ him never had no quarrellin’. No’m ; I never excused it nor encouraged it When Pete’d kinder ferget his self an’go to givin’ me port talk I’d jes pick up the lamp or some thin’an’give it a throw right at him. He knew'twas a ’quivocation tor him to keep still, an’ so we never had no trouble, “1 tidied the gals, an’ I tolled ’em they must manage to live peaceable, same as their ma did.” How much does your cigar bill amount to a year? n Isn’t it cheaper tosmokea pipe?

E. Williams, Proprietor. Nothing in This World Is so cheap as a newspaper, whether it be measured by the cost of its production or by its value to the consumer. We are talking about an American, metropolitan, daily paper of the first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It’s so cheap and so good you can't afford in this day of progress to be without it. There are other papers possibly as good, but none better, and none just like it. It prints all the real news of the world—the news you care for—every day, and prints it in the shortest possible space. You can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a day’s work too. It is an independent paper and gives all political news free from the taint of party bias. In a word —it's a complete, condensed, clean, honest family newspaper, and it has the largest morning circulation in Chicago or the west —125,000 to 140,000 a day. Prof. J. T. Hatfield of the Northwestern University says: “THE CHICAGO RECORD comes as near being the idea! daily jour’ nal as we are for some time likely to find on these mortal shores. ” Sold by newsdealers everywhere, and sub scriptions received by all postmasters.
