MICHAEL MALOY'S STORY He Came to this Country When Buchanan Was PresidentNever Had a Residence. An odd-looking individual of the genus hobo with a record that gives him the rank of a veteran strolled into town on Monday. He wore an old cast-off suit of uncertain color, soiled and rent in every part. He had no use for suspenders; a thick rope tightly drawn around his waist and tied in an awkward knot did service as a belt. His shoes, one of which was much too large, looked as though they had just formed acquaintance, resembling each other in nothing except that they were both run down at the heels.

His hat was in keeping with the rest of his costume. The man was some sixty years of age. His face, which might have been improved by washing, had a heavy stolid appearance, reflecting a soul dead to all the nobler emotions of our nature. Officer Voris found the man basking in the sun on East Market street and took him before Justice-of-the-Peace Bare, where he was asked to give some account of himself. He said his name was Michael Maloy.

He wasn't quite sure where he had come from or where he was going. He was simply moving. He came to this couutry, he said, when James Buchanan was President. The Justice asked him he had last resided. The old man thought long and deeply and than remarked that so far as he could recollect, he never had a residence.

It then developed that during the forty-five years that he had been in this country he had been steadily on the go; that he had never voted and had no desire to; that he had never paid any tax except on one occasion when he worked on a railroad and a certain amount of poor tax was deducted from his wages. The Justice asked him if he had ever been in jail. He unhesitatingly answered "no." "Not even in the lock -up the 'Squire added. The old man thought a moment and then admitted that he had probably been in the lock -up. "'One is apt to get there for drinkin'," he explained.

The old man was permitted to move on and by this time is probably basking in the hospitality of some of our neighboring towns. LADIES' AUXILIARY ORGANIZED An Adjunct to Camp 364, P. 0. S. of This City.
