fond papa uot his temporary relcat-e.
The fellow had Imbibed too freely In
the cup that cheers. He first went to

portunity there to display himself, as
the alert managers of that ulTalr soon

gaged In u rather boisterous argument
with a man who could not escape his
forcible attentions, and once again was
escorted to the door. Then when they
would not again let him In, he raised
Cain generally, according to all re
port. A couple of policemen hap
pened along, after their midnight
lunch, and the obstreperous youth soon
M'posed In William Klllem's Iron barred

man's father heard of tho trouble and
Ity ollieialH wherever available wore

posting $2."i as a guarantee that the
lioy would appear at a hearing, tho
father wns allowed to take the young
man to the parental roof. Yesterday
at the hearing the young fellow was
given a sound lecture and admonished
to be more seemly In his future uc
tlons. It being his llrst offence, he was
allowed to go unfilled,
