Show "BROKE ON BOTH SIDES." Comment of Philadelphia Policeman on Smashed Window. Tempted to run out by our late snow itorm, a crowd of small hoys out for a 'good time" decided to throw snow-Dalls. snow-Dalls. One of the snowballs found its tvay into a neighbor's window and broke the pane. The boys took to their heels, and when the lady of the house came out, steaming with anger, no one was in sight. But she was determined at least to show the officers offi-cers that they were neglecting their iuties. So she ran around the corner and a policeman was round. She forced him to go with her and take a look at the damage. On the way she scolded him, and said he ought to be discharged. The policeman, who was an Irishman, kept quiet. At last they reached their destination, and ' the lady of the house brought him to where the glass was lying scattered. The officer examined the broken window, win-dow, and said : "This is more aayrlous thin Ol thought ut was! It's broke on both soides!" Philadelphia Ledger. |
