Show The Ministers und Aldermen Coast. A delicate question has lately arisen In tho mind of his honor Mayor Bradford. Brad-ford. When coasting was prima on Mulberry street the mayor, with his uhuiiI forethought for people's safety, j carefully directed that an oflicer be sta- tioned at the foot of the hill to arrest , any who trespassed against the law which forbids the coasters to cross Mapla ' street. "But, yer honor," exclaimed the j policeman, "phat was I to do? I saw a I ripper coming like a streak of greased lightning down the hill. Whiza it went I across the street, und I tore along after I it to arrest the miscreants. But whe I should scramble off the pesky thing but Alderman Ilollirook and his lady, antj the last of all came Parson Baldwin!" i So his honor, the mayor, scratches hU 1 head and thinks and thinks and thinks.
