A Woman's Wrath

A fair but frail daughter of Eve in a Western, city recently was sentenced to thirty days in prison and to pay a fine of fifty dollars for drunkenness. When she heard the seuteuce she .hurled a heavy inkstand at the judge's head. He dodged and the missile flew through the window and fell to the pavement, the ink splashing over a lady's elegant silk dress and totally ruining it. The lady, in trying to shake the ink from her raiment, frightened a team of spirited horses, that ran away with a carriage containing two ladies and a child, upsetting a fruit stand and throwing the ladies into a butcher's cart while the child was fastened in a bunch of telegraph wires about ten feet above the sidewalk. The team could not be stopped and continued on their flight, finally -plunging through the plateglass windows of a china shop. Thny ran through the eufch - e length, of tin; ./store, spreading destruction ami <loMfastation on every hand, run out of the back door, leaped into tlio. canal and were drowned. Now they tulk of calling on the judge for damages because he dodged the inkstaud. — N. Y. Dispatch. '
