Near a restaurant in Joaesboro the boys
have erected a corn-cob dodgers stand. An
old barrel furnishes the rest for the dodger
and a grain sack with a hole in IL is the
canvas. The youngsters take turns at the
feat and the rest test their pitching abili-
ties. throwing the cobs with all their might
at the fellow whose head sticks through
the screen. Now and then lad gets a
good rap on the head. but that is all in
the story and there is no kick coming. Thus
the fun goes on until all wings are ex-
hausted and then some other amusement
is suggested.

W0MAN'S STORY MOVES
TREASURER TO PITY

Anger and fun continue to inter
mingle in the water department in
the city hall, through people being
required to put up $3.50 for using
water out of hours.
The latest story told by City Treas
urer Harry Egglestoh, who hears
most of the woes, Is as follows:
''She was a pitiful-looking middle
aged woUan, and timidly held back
before stating her troubles. Her
gown was well worn and every indi-
cation pointed to extreme poverty.
When her turn came she advanced
to the desk, much afraid, and said
Sir / am poor woman, depending
on taking in washing to support my
little family. Last night l was tired,
so tired that 1 guess 1 did not turn
the water entirely off. Can't you
let me off this time, just this time =?
1t will never happen again.
Il was so touched by the story
that I sent the little woman up
stairs to see the commissioners. She
told the same story, and steps had
about been taken to raise her fine
among ourselves and pay it. Then l
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1903-06-20

thought of sending another inspector
to see her.
"The inspector found that she liv-
ed in a new nine-room house in Third
avenue. In the house were electric
lights, telephone, speaking tubes,
a shower bath, tub bath and onyx
toilet accessories. She was most in
dignant when the inspector insisted
on going through the premises"
Isl Redwhiskers, formerly a Pa
louise agrarian, is the only man who
got the best of the department up to
date. Redwhiskers was warned
against turning the hose loose in the
yard at night. He just chuckled and
said Col darn ye" to the inspector.
Next night the water was turned off
and next day Sis neighbor came
down, the maddest man in town. His
water had been shut off and he wasn't
using 1t at night.
Investigation developed that ST
had been stealing the water. that the
hydrant head was just over the line
where the fence should have been
on the premises of his neighbor. and
81 had been nonchalently sneaking
the hose over on his side after the
other "feller" had gone to bed.
