Show His Good Impulse. (New York Evening World.) Kx-Sheriff Tom Dunn at the Democrati: club a few evenings ago told this story or" the late Police Justice Duffy: Duffy, while visiting an up-state jail, saw a prisoner who had. a rat in his possession. The magistrate said: "Ah, you have a rat. I see." "Yes," said the convict; "I feed him every day. I thinks more of that rat than any other living creature." "That proves," said Duffy, sentimentally, sentimental-ly, "that in every man there's some gooii Impulse if you can only find it. How came you to take such a fancy to the rat?' "Cos he bit the warden," said the convict, con-vict, cheerfully. |
