Quite a numbee of prominent Astor iane were assembled at Madison's cigar ttand the other evening, our worthy assistant prosecuting attorney, Attorney McCue, being among the number. They were discussing the careers of self-made men and incideutly showered compli ments on Johnny for his rapid advance ment, both politically and in hi chosen profession. Johnny modestly accepted the adulation of his admirers and told them of his first efforts. "My first case, after I was admitted to the bar, was that of a wilful murder. Being myi first case I worked night and day on it and if it hadnt been for me my client would have gotten a life sentence." "What did he get ?" asked a bystander. "He was hanged," was the answer. and if you dont find the hardest sea sick man you ever saw I'll treat." He hint been there before. WATERFRONT ITEMS Oh, Ducks." Mayor Wise was busy in his office on Saturday when in rushed one of our leading citizens. "Look lieiv."' he cried, ''The sewer on sf.eet has brokeu and the water is running into my cellar. I keep my chicken there and ii any of them are drowned I will sue the city for damages." "Oh, go on," said the Mayor, "trade your chickens for ducks and there'll be no danger. Don't bother me now, I'm writing a letter to my friend Fairbanks about the new dry docks we are going to have." Ducks will no doubt advance in price. Tho New Reporter. A speck and span young man anxious to enter the journalistic field applied to the Astorian for a position. He was given a tryout and handed in his first copy which read: "Last night, yesterday morning, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, before break fast, a hungry man stole a ten-cent pie and threw it through a stonewall ten feet high and in jumping over the same broke his left leg above his right knee. On that same day, 40 years after, a deaf and dumb man was struck blind while talking to his Aunt Peter." He was referred to the "Gudget." The Biter Bit Jack Wilson, a popular young man around town, wag the supposed victim of a good Jjokp yesterday) morning. While attending to his duties at the Warwick he was approached by a party who quietly said: "I will take a little "Old Tom", please!" Jack passed him the bottle but the stranger appeared to have changed his mind and said, "Beg pardon, my friend, but have you any objections to trading the gin for whisky?" "Sure not," answered Jack, and he laid the bottle of bourbon before him. The customer drank his whisky and started for the door. "Hold on there, friend, you haven't paid for that whisky," gaid the man behlniL "Didn't I trade the gin for it!" "Yea, but you didn't pay for the ginl" "I didnt drink it, did I?" and he walked out. A friend standing near joshed Jack and being caught at that old trick but Jack non chalently wiping his glasses said: "Watch that guy for about haTf an hour Harbor Looks Good With Four Windjammers.
