Delivery Prank    (April Fool's Day - 1909)

The royalist students who recently were condemned to imprisonment and fines by M. Hammerd, justice of the peace, for mutilating statues and demonstrating in the streets and theaters, have taken a humorous revenge against the justice. They ordered 400 wagon loads of merchandise of every description, from pianos to coal, delivered at M. Hammerd's residence.

Traffic was impeded and the irate drivers were with difficulty induced to depart without leaving their loads.
