CONFLICTING THEORIES.
Once upon a midnight dreary A detective formed a theory That a man waa being murdered in the streets a block below; He could hear him loudly calling As the wicked blows were falling. And his keen detective instinct told him all he wished to know. By the sound his ear detected That the blows must be directed By a man of blonde complexion, with a blue and gentle eye. And with legs a little bandied. Either right or else let't-handied, And between four feet six inches and six feet four inches high. So he calmly sat and waited Till the noise had all abated. Then he strolled at leisure down the street the corpse to note. { There he met with Mrs. I^ary, Who herself had formed a theory. For she saw the tight between O’Dooley’s dog and Grady’s goat.
