Method Was Effective.

“Where did you get it?” asked Magistrate Dale, in Brooklyn, of Edward E. Stack, who was before him, charged with having been found-in s state of glorious intoxication on a street corner. “Judge,” replied the prisoner, respectfully, but somewhat anxiously, “I made it myself.” “Made it yourself?” asked the magistrate. “How did you make It?” “Judge,” was the response,- “I have my own method and I want to keep it to myself.” “You raise a difficult point,” said the magistrate. “How do I know that you did not buy intoxicants?” “I’ll show you the recipe, judge,” said the prisoner. “Only please give it back to me and preserve my confidence In the matter.” The prisoner solemnly handed up a paper on which something was written. The judge read it carefully and handed it back to the prisoner. “You may go, prisoner,” said the magistrate. “Sentence is suspended.” Whereupon the prisoner left the courtroom, followed eagerly by a large body of residents of the Flatbush section.—Cincinnati Times-Star.
