JUSTICE JOHNS COURT.
Tho Path Of tho Man Who Comcth Before
the Dispenser Ia Rough.

the dispenser Ia Rougn.
Every way of man is right in his own
eyes. but when you come TO keep cases upon
him il is sure to pass that all the words OF his
mouth are not ewels. nor the acts OF his lie
suili iently lamblike % keep BIN from oeihg
the subject OF a few remarks on tho part OF
his Ohservant nelghbor.
MANY are called but few get of with
lack pot unless they have the cards.
Many are called-sometmes nine-and then
four are chosen. and tue remaining five won
der at the stu idity Of the people and in the
wisdom OF their hearts know that they would
have made the best legislators.
Many are called and those in great num-
bers are called Judge and Colonel vet even
some of these are not satisfied and IN their
hearts yearn for the title of Governor or Gen
eral
Justice John il a man of great wisdom, and
daily within tho saw dust circle be procams
truths. or ut least opinions, which through
succeeding generations shall stand az land
marks TO his fame, ust like a mulberry tree
81 a country cross-rosd judgments he pre.
pares for seorners and str pes tor the backs OF
fools. Two of the latter class got warm re-
ception yesterday morning.
hi Jones and William rankin are those
whose days in the land Of the living have
been comparatively few and VINO stir up their
hearts 10 do evil They walk not IN good
Jack rabbit through the bru h. They labor
Dot TIN their hands. but they can get your
overcoat the hall rack If you leave the
front door keyhole open. and couple OF pull
lets IN yolr back yard fttening up for sun
dav stand no more show 20 spend q comfort
able evening at home than docs first-class
doctor in dlphtheria season. But the way Of
the trausgressor is hard, and even the smooth
est we have get caught IN the wickeduess Of
their way.
Vii and Willie sought the back of grocery
wagon and with the speed OF the average AZ
rcan youth they followed closely the swift
moving vehicle Bags Of sugar, coffee and
spices they possessed themselves Of, and as
quickly id the vigilant police capture the
boys and the booty. Their parents were IN
court and the wise Judge commanded them
20 clasten ty sons while there is hope nor
their soul spare for their crying. There was
great weeping by Ri and Willie. for the strap
was not spared, and they departed in great
haste.
Rettie Johnson and Henry Johnson were
unto each other man and wife, but Bette
seemed affected like the swine that ran down
the hill into the sea. only she was cautious
not 70 put herself ont of the way. Henry said
unto himself II is better TO dwell in a corner
of the housetOp than with b-awling woman
IN a wide house, or even IN a ten-acre lot.
but man once mixed up in these family mat
tiers is in deep trouble and the corner Of the
in the cellar or rocking the baby IN the gar
ret are the only times when his mind is free
and he is not expected 10 do something diff
ferent. They were dismissed.
John S. Harper has experienced that wine
is q mOcker and that couple Of juleps too
many Is exceedingly liable 10 incapacitate
man for steady WORK. He was assessed S2 for
the requirement OF this information.
Albert Johnson walketh not in the way Of
the lust, but he hangs about Byrd street and
labors not to prepare meat FOR the winter,
nor even a rubber coat for the fall rains. He
was sent 80 visit for thirty days in the city
Jail. where moths and rust don't bother the
folks nor thieves have much luck in breaking
out
H7rico Co,infy C0uf-Lee Frayser (col-
ored4. charged with malicious cutting and
found guilty. was sent t. jail for three months
and fined S25.
