A QUEER BANQUET.
Police Judge James Austin of Tole-
do, o., whose motto is Lift Up the
Fallen" gave a banquet.
1t was a Scriptural banquet
That is to say, the judge went out
into the byways and hedges, so to
speak, and invited the lame, the halt
and the blind to his spread.
The Golden Rule" Judge was
great friend Of the late Golden Rule"
Jones, mayor of Toledo, and tries to
run his court as Jones ran the city
government - upon the divine rule,
Whatsoever ye would that men
should do unto you do We even SO to
them"
So the merciful judge puts himself
in the prisoners place.
Well, 1t was a queer banquet Men
the women, black and white, all vic
Tins OF misfortune, were the guests.
Gee, Gull, we're goin' to be
mugged." remarked Piggy" Mulley
when a photographer entered to take
a fash picture of the motley crowd of
sixty people.
There was much laughter at this
banquet. and some tears.
And the toasts!
There was Mrs. Fred Becker, the
wife of a paroled prisoner, who in q
faltering voice told how her desolate
home had been made happy by the
judge who had reformed her husband.
Life now held a promise, and she was,
oh, so happyl
Then Mrs Becker had a good cry.
A girl of fifteen timidly arose. She
had been set adrift on the streets al
nine years of age. For three days and
nights she went hungry and slept II
a vacant house. Then a woman told
her If she would go to a house where
a red light burned over the door she
would be taken in.
The girl probationer could scarcely
tell the rest OF her tale for sobbing.
She said the woman who opened the
door gave her the first smile she ha6
seen in weeks. In that house a mar
taught her to steal. Judge Austin was
good to her, suspended her sentence
and got her a job. That was over {
year ago. Now she was a good CIR
and would be always.
Grizzled old men told how they wer'
! leading a new life, helped by the goot
I judge. Young men stood up and talked
about how the Judge had helped then
to "cut out the booze" and get goot
Jobs.
Surely If there is Joy among tn,
angels over one sinner that repentetl
there was a jubilee in heaven owe
that feast in Tony Miller's chophouse
over by the police station.
And the good Judge?
He was happier than an archangel-
because it is not given to archangel
to save the souls of sinful men.

I've fought against it daily,
But it's kept a-gettin' worse.
Till my bones feel kinder ally
In keepin from writin' verse.
But the spring has been agin me.
An here is where I show EN-;
The editor has herewith to see
Ny first attempted poem.
The spring is in the bed-spring,
I've seen it in the yard.
Where Bridgets been a-pumpin
The mattress good and hard.
The spring is in the pencil.
AS the poets on them bare,
The waste basket is nearly sprung
From the poems a-restin there
The spring is in the auto,
Until you feel it drop
A rut in the road-the spring amt

It's in the blacksmith shop.
The spring is in your chicken legs.
As they scratch and scratch. and

The dirt comes sprfngin' Ger your
fence
From your neighbors garden patch
The spring has tackled Winie's pants.
It's marbles sprung the knees.
And too much settin on the seat
Has opened that to the breeze.
The spring is in the weather;
Last week twas nice and warm;
Today we have foot Of snow.
Springs sprung a false alarm.
