opened up and drained and healed nicely.
Think Of those you have known who
have been foolish enough to let a sur

founded, that such. things hap
pen; but the judge had heard such
appeals before; he knew the suf-
fering and trouble that lay back
of the Unconditional words. He
knew that a great fight had gone
on within the mans breast before
he could bring himself TO the
point of requesting a Jail term.
In his hating way the man
told the judge that his name was
Martin Fisher, and that he spoke
Polish, having been in this coun-
try but few months. Judge Uh-
lir also speaks Polish, and ques-
toned Martin in that language.
That sirnplifed matters, and the
man told his story, the words
tumbling over themselves as he
rushed along in his harsh. native
tongue. Here is his story:
my name is Martin Fisher. 1
have only been here a short time,
and have been living at 1884 w.

progress. I was happy, and the
future looked bright. Then l lost
my place. But l had a little
money. I looked for work, but
there were a hundred applicants
for every job. Every place I met
with failure, and my money was
dwindling away. I didn't know
where to look for aid, but / had
been told of the justice in this

| want to be saved from that. I
have never done wrong, but [
want you to send me to Jail Then
| will have a place to stay until
it gets warm again"
The story made an unusual ap-
peal to the judge. There was no
maudlin plea for aims, but man
ly frankness, the admission that
he still had $40; all of which
served to convince the Judge of
Martins worthiness. And the fact
that he was going to night school
showed that he would be a good
and ambitious citizen. He didn't
want to break the law, but he
frankly told the judge he might
have to, in order to exist.
The upshot of it all was that
the judge secured new place
for Martin, where he will earn
enough to support himself, and
will be able to attend night school
regularly. The fact that he would
be unable to go to school if sent
to the bridewell was the part that
seemed to hurt Martin the worst.
But he is happy this Christmas
morning; he thinks the world is
pretty fair. place after all; that
America is truly land of prom
ise-alse fu1fllment-and that
there really is a spirit of Peace
on earth, good will to men,"
All of the foregoing is not
very pleasant Christmas story"
is it? But it is life, life in the raw,
and the stories are coming to the
surface every day.

The fact that this alleged

that may be prosecuted under

an Injunction against the

has no jurisdiction to abate a
