CASE No. 1.--"Martin Daley, | see
gray hairs in your head, the wrin-
kles of old age on your face, and
you look like one who will soon fall
away and be gathered TO his fathers.
ion are going on sixty years of age,
and here you are charged with drunk
enness. Speak, aged pine, and tell me
if ii is true or false"
81 cannot tell the TRUTH did itwith
my little bottle" replied the old man
in husky tones.
Eyes, floored by the bottle, as mill
lions have been before. You seem to
regret it now, but last night, when you
were rambling around with spade in
your hand, whooping, bowling, and
terrifying small children, you didn't
care cent whether school kept or not.
J feel like advising you to go home and
pressing your children to your bosom,
embrace your wife, and promise them
that not another drop Of liquor will
ever pass your lips, but it isn't my
sympathetic morning, and III make It
$40 or ninety days.
A HARD CASE-"David Bell, standing
standing here in the prime of life with
red nose and u wilted collar, you are
charged with vagrancy,n remarked his
honor
"Vagrancy, ch?n
ayes, sir, that's the charge, written
in letters an inch high, and yet you are
young, have constitution like board
ing house butter, foot as large MS Il
candle box, and forsome reason decline
to earn your own bread and butter.n
II do, eh?"
eyes, sir, you do. You have been
wandering about the alleys, sleeping
on the wharves, and standing on the
corners, while even the cripples have
labored for honest bread
"They have, eh"
ayes, sir, they have, and you ought
to feel ashamed of yourself, and go and
drown yourself, sir. But you won't do
it, and I'll send you to the work house
for four months.n
"You will, ell ?n
Eyes, sir, will, Take him to the
black Maria, Bijah, and if you can set
an eight ounce tack under him the ride
will do him much more good"
CASE No. 3.--May Wayborn dis
turbed the peace by making great
noise and collecting crowd, and now
she cannot remember anything about
1t. She can't remember of biting a
policeman's knuckles, of pulling the
janitor's hair, or of the happy little
songs she INDUCED in for four hours
after being lockedup.
IThere's no use winkingat me,n said
his honor, with q shake Of his head
TITS clear case, and law is law. You
are young yet, May, and it makes me
sad to see one in the bud of life reck-
lessly trampling under foot the oppor-
unity to become great woman, Joan
of Arc hadn't your chance, Victoria
Woodruff wasn't known to the world
at your age. Susan b. Anthony didn't
get her name in the newspapers until
she was . hundred years old. Why
don't you emulate some of those hero
ines.o
"Em who?n inquired the prisoner.
at is evident to me,n continued the
court, in changed voice, chat you
have no aspirations-no longings for
fame. You had rather be q hen on the
ienca than an eagle among the clouds,
and l,ll'make it sixty days"
IAN sent up2" she asked,
'You are.n
''Then draw the dagger and strike
me here!" she cried, putting her hands
OH her corset and rolling up her eyes.
Bijah put his arm around her slender
waist and told her that his honor had
left his dagger at home for the cook to
peel potatoes with, and he asked her,
for his sake, to consent to live few
hours longer, as onions and radishes
we're just beginning to sprout, and he
had seen three new hand-organs on
the street that morning.
