ger than any one else IS but it did
seem to me that every rays that Old
Sol shot out on the hottest day, seem
ed to light on the bridge Of protrub-
erance and cling there. In vain did I
borrow divers and sundry straw hats
with wide brims, it was also in vain
that I applied cold cream to my face,
sun got there gently at first and then
with a vim. I didn't realize that
had been sunburnt until I came in
from being out all day and undertook,
to wash my face. put cold water on
my nose and then I heard a sizzling
and honestly for moment thought
I was smoking a loaded cigar, but I
wasn't. It was my face cracking. Well
there's one consolation, I won't have
to 60 to church Sunday 7 wouldn It
have people see me in this condition
for two bits and I am applying all
manner Of healing stuffs and believe
that after the skin all gets of every
thing will be all right"
The other morning Bill Barnes was
taking spin in his auto, and as he
was about to descend a steep hill, the
machine gave lurch and was about
to turn turtle when his wife came to
the rescue and told him he had better
pile out Of bed, for breakfast was
getting cold with so much waiting.
The chief of police generally escapes
injury in some decidedly miraculous
manner.
Because "Pigs is Pigs" it does not
follow that eggs is Eggs,'' accord
ing to Judge George Juerens of the
municipal court, who proved this to a
certain degree yesterday when the reg
ular police court gallery arrived to
gaze on the work Of the judge and see
that justice was properly administered.
That the innocent are often made to
suffer was also demonstrated by the
judge in the little comedy Of eggs
is not Eggs.''
llr. Juergens has been receiving
fresh 'ggs from the country every
morning for several weeks but he has
not been able to enjoy the benefits CT
the hen fruit. He has tried every, cor
ner Of the spacious court room to hide
the eggs, but while he was deeply en-
gagged in extending sympathy by eth
er enlarging or cutting down the extent
Of q criminals sentence, some mis-
creant would make away with the
eggs. Criminals have been made to
suffer as George lost dozen sitter dozen
of his eggs. His usual sympathetic
has been far from lenient
and those who have been in for second
offense have noticed how their sentence
compared being very much out Of pro.
portion. >..-
Almost twenty dozen of eggs have
and on one occasion, three
dozen were cooked before the judge 3
eyes thought he was not asked to par
take of the bountiful repast of hen
fruit. One day he sat for eight hours
in the big chair in the municipal court
room and constantly eyed a dozen
eggs. He hid in the corner when
Mike Noonan entered, but Mike did
not touch the eggs. However the
guard was not on duty the ninth hour,
and when the Judge returned he found
that the eggs he had been watching all
day had been stolen.
Yesterday however, was the day for
getting even and the Judge warned
his egg merchant in. advance to bring
in dozen or so Of decayed eggs: The
eggs arrived done up in true sanitary
style, known only to the farmer, and
the Judge was not particular about
where he put them, hoping of course
to catch the guilty one, with the rotte
eggs.
Mike Noonan refused to steal, and
so did George strasberg, but the latter
managed to stand in the way, while
Sam Wineman committed the crime
unseen. Sam got the eggs and was re-
joicing over his joke and accordingly
he hurried to tell Bill Bedford who is
the peace preserve in receiving any
thing that resembles practical joke.
It so happens that Bill is raw
egg 6end, and Sam g trick appealed to
him as no other ever did. His mouth
fairly watered for one Of those raw
eggs, and while he was innocent Of
the stealing, he thought 1t no crime
to devour the stolen goods. Sam
promised to let Bill have taste after
he had done the "ampling, but Bill
could not wait and punching little
hole in the top he proceeded to de-
YOUR the hen fruit, decayed as it was.
Juergens was disappointed because
Bill an innocent party was made to
suffer, Sam being the fellow he want-
