The Irishman cast glance at the
Young lawyer and muttereu: Sure,
an If I'd had two such this Jury
would have hung me for murder. "

A story is told Of a Kalamazoo
county farmer who wore his old suit
until every one was tired OF it, and his
estimabe wife was almost ashamed
Of the nustling man who had been in
side of it so long. One day he went
TO town to sell some produce and while
there he determined TO buy new
suit and. happy thought surprise
Eliza. SO he bundled neat suit into
The wagon and drove homeward.
1t was after night as he hurried
homeward, ard at bridge oyer riv
er he stood upon the wagon and ''peel
ed' and threw the despised old suit
in the water. Then he reached for
MS new clothes-they were gone-had
jOlted out OF the wagon. The night
was cold and his teeth chartered as
he hurried home. He surprised Eliza
even more than he anticipated.

AHA! COLLINS CAPTURES TWO
But the Militant Marshal Finds His
Prizes Are Lemons.
Nevertheless, the Dignity of the Law
Is demonstrated 40 the Salts
faction of All Concerned.

"Aha"' exclaimed Marshal Charles p.
Collins, Of Glen Echo. yesterday morning.
as he spied coming up the. stretch Of Con-
duit road an automobile that seemed to
have taken unto itself wings. Here
comes another scalp
As it drew near the officer Of the law,
the auto honk-honked amiably. and the
obliging chauffeur opened up the spark
ing plug, or the thingumbob that loosens
up the speed reservoir, The car flashed
unheeding by the marshal at the rate Of
something under 100 miles an hour.
Mounting his trusty bike, the avengtng
angel Of Glen Echo chickens, bent over
the handle bars and started in pursuit.
Mile after mile he pedaled frantically
after the flying machine, but with no
success. Dismounting. he awaited its re-
turn. on the principle that all that goes
up must come down His patience was
rewarded, for in the course OF an hour
or so distant honk again gave notice Of
the approach Of a 1enzine barouche. 1t
proved 20 be the same car, with its two
male occupants.
This time Collins stood in the center Of
the road and forced the driver 10 bring
the car to a halt.
You are pinched." quoth the law.
what for2" was the indignant query.
Running at forty miles an hour and
making me ruin my Sunday collar, re-
piled Collins.
Lead US to the law and justice said
the driver.
Collins took his charges to Mayor Gar
rett's office. After being sworn, the mar
shall told his story. What have you 20
say" asked the magistrate of the Of
tenders.
Nothing" was the reply. Collins is
all right. He did his duty, and IN as
pleasant a manner as possible under most
provoking circumstances"
To the establishment of the marshal the
mayor and the autOist shook hands.
Let me introduce YOU" said the mayor
to Collins, "to President Caverly, Of tbs
Washington Automobile Club. and MI
Darlington Mills. proprietor OF the Graf
ton. This little seance was arranged be
tween Mr. Cayerly and myself in orde'
to satisfy him that you performed yOul
duty in a proper manner. and that th'
complaints against you were unfOunded.
MT CaveTly was well satisfied with bis
experiment He said last night that Col
Inns performed his duty as an officer o.
the law in a proper manner. and that "a
president Of the automobile club he hoped
there would no longer be friction between
Glen EchO authorities and the autOmO
bilists of Washington.
