OUT AND IN SAME DAY

Mnn Warned In Police Court Arrested
Later for Loudins Up Again.
John Landrun-poar and lonely
John, tho John who has appeared SO
often before the One and Only John
Is in the tolls again. He left Police
Court yesterday morning, supposedly
q sadder and a wiser man, the One
Johns dictum ringing In his ears:
Como back again. and I'll send you to
Jail for twelve months" John must
80 back to his friend and that famil-
far scene tomorrow morning.
AS John Landrum the brother OF
Bill, looked back in perspective last
might and saw the many mistakes he
had made. he wept. He looked up at
the moon, but the silent orb Of night
was only half full. and John. thinking
to hold himself within the same
bounds, went forth to take drink
and forget his sorrows and his past.
But that one drink creased the way
foraothers. and John imbibed copious-
~. Weeping, he staggered out on the
street, and encountered strong arm
OF the law. The strong arm wrapped
itself round Johns swaying form. and
he was conveyed gently and kindly to
the First Police Station. There he
rcposed In peace. forgetful OF past
,niseries and uncaring OF those to come.
Bacchus had done his work. John
Landrum. the brother OF Bill, now
faces forty-eight weeks In the Castle
by the Shockoe, where water Is in
plenty and redeye4 unknown.
