MEMORANDA

BEDTIME STORIES __. if Oil Saturday evening lasi a large and representative meeting of pits and mice was held yti the premises of Stubbs and Co. Delegates were present, from all .surrounding blocks. The object of the meeting was to discuss the question ot vacating the above premises, in view ot liie erection of a new and efficient mattress parlor, which lias effectively prevented their indulgence in their favorite pastime of destroying mattresses and pillows. Since the inevitable result of the erection of this ediliee would be, not. oply the deprivation of their pastime, but also ultimate starvation, it was resolved that, all present vacate, and warn others to vacate the premises. This meeting would thus he exonerated from all blame should any deaths subsequently occur as tin* result of neglecting this warning. At midnight the meeting closed, and tlm despondent members filed nut in the direction of the harbor, where in future more activity is likely to be evidenced than heretofore.*'
