Two of a Kind In a town many miles from Bath a tramp was brought before the judge for lagraney and stealing rides on the cars. The case was presented to the court In due form and the judge asked the tramp If he had anything to say in bis own behalf. “Yes, Judge, I have," replied the w ayfarer. “Let’s have It, then,” replied the judge. "Your honor.” stated the prisoner, "over in Bangor I have a sick wife and a family of small children, and 1 have a letter from my wife asking me to come home, and that is the reason for my beating my way." “I believe you are lying,” said the court. “1 myself have a letter from your wife, telling me that you are a worthies fellow and that she does not wish ever to see you again." The tramp at this brightened perceptibly "Your honor, we’re both of us lying for I have no wife," he said. "Get out of this,’’,ordered the judge, laughing r.s the tramp hiked away.

He knocked against a child’s perambulator and with something like an oath he sent it spinning toward the kitchen door.

A number of American officers and men from the Coblenz area attended the service, and were permitted to view the relics.
