Let zimman Stay in the

Jerry Mcmahon, elevator conductor at
the city hall and an ancient and patriotic
resident of the Third ward, no longer de-
nands of his passengers. Are you with
me?" and asks them to support him for
councilman from the Third against Harry
Zimman. Mr.. Mcmahon, during the last
few days since his announcement as a can
didate for the republican nomination next
spring. has become more fully cognizant
OF conditions. He says now that he under
estimated zimman's strength. and always
having had an aversion toward butting mis-
head against stone wall, does not pro-
pose to do 1t now In addition, he has
found that the present Third ward council
man is more popular with the people than
he imagined. Therefore the flag Of Nc
Mahon, which fiuttered bravely for three
days, has been hauled down from his
political airship and nailed to the east
elevator at the city hall, where It rises
only with the fluctuations of the cage ana
gets no higher than the fifth floor. Jerry
is quite willing to leave 1t there.

Mrs Kelly testified that Miss Samuels
hit her in the neck; that she had not called
Miss Samuels names; in fact. don't use bad
language. She said the defendant had

had not struck back even under that provo
cation. Mr.. Kelly gave the same testimony
in effect.

patent leather oxfords peeped out from the
hem OF her skirt, with just hint Of silk
hosiery above. She, held the eyes Of all
observers as she told how the plaintiff had
called her a very unlovely name. She de-
MED that she had said damn" as plaintiff
testified.
~ DO not swear" said Miss Ethel, very
seriously, just like Mrs. Kelly had said
she did not use nasty expressions. Miss
samuels insisted that Mrs. Kelly had a
baby in her arms. which she passed over
TO her husband. and then stepped inside the
samuels room and slapped her in the face.
And Miss Samuels has a most likable face,
too. more At for kissing than Shaping
