Destitute Couple Weeps In Court az
Husband Is Criticized by
Lawyer.

Duluth, Minn.-Into the court rec.
ords of Douglas county has been writ
ten story Of life's ragged edge, full
er of pathos and homely sentiment
than the usual offices Of the court
room afford
Elizabeth and James Johnson, IA
Their and mother, appeared before
Judge Charles Smith in the Juvenile
court and asked the state to take
care Of their children. Woven into
the proceedings was a tale of misfor-
tune and adversely which when finish
ed resulted in the commitment Of
two little boys to the state school
at Sparta.
Side by side on the witness stand
sat husband and wife. Each had an
infant. One was two years old and
the other six months. Standing with
his face against the wall and crying,
was the eldest OF the family, John.
He is eight years old
When Judge Smith sanctioned the
commitment, John and Charles were
cut loose for all time from parental
contact
Mrs. Johnson has been married
twice. To her present husband, James
Johnson. she has been welded five
years, and their union has been ILL
favored. She has now four children,
is a prospective mother, and one child
has been buried. One is in a state in
stitute In Minnesota, and the commit.
ment OF two recently leaves only
sixmontns old baby in the luckless
household.
The Johnsons are form Grand Rap
ids, Mimi, where Mrs Johnson owns a
small farm. uncleaned and heavily en-
numbered. Six years ago the first
husband, died and "Jim," the hired
man. began suit for the woman's hand
and won it. They were married.
Facing one of the most difficult
problems of existence, the couple ap-
peared the other day and asked to
be relieved Of responsibility of the
care Of their children.
You both made up your minds that
you didn't want these children any
more" shouted Attorney D. e. Rob-
erts, land you decided to dump them
on the state"
The woman confessed affection for
the man, and defended him
You must understand that you will
never see your children again." said
Judge Smith
"Oh. your honor, can't l ever get
them back again." moaned Mrs. John
son.
No; they will go to Sparta to be
educated. and afterward they will be
adopted by some reputable family.
They are lost to you forever" said
the court, as he made the commit
ment.

NOT THE SHOCK EXPECTED
Seemingly, Debutante Would Have
Been Willing if II Had Been
Otherwise.

After the Spanish melon. while
awaiting the cold consomme. a young
Japanese diplomat took the fan from
the white hand Of a debutante, and
opened it-from the right to left dsl
icately.
You noticed how | opened it?" he
said. From right to Left"
Yes" she returned indifferently
But everybody opens fans from right
to left
And do you know why? No? Then
I'll tell you'll warn you-so that you
yourself may never. by any chance,

lie slipped his amber-colored chablis
and resumed:
Fans originated in Japan, and from
time immemorial the Japanese fan
makers. whose morality is not like
western morality, have constructed
fans in such a manner that, opened
from right to left. they reveal inno-
cent and lovely things-flowers and
temples and tea gardens-while, open
ed from left to right. they reveal
scenes of an indecency and Obscenity
passing belief.
OF course. all Japanese fans are
not of double entsndre such as this,
but many are, and hence Japan has
taught the world to open it's fans in
only one way. the safe way"
The young vidy opened her fan, very
cautiously. the unsafe way. Then she
said:
"Pshaw. my fan is all right"
And then gave little disappointed
shrug OF her white shoulders-Chi-

he left an estate which was valued
for probate at $371,710 gross-the

out Of his riding fees and retainers.
which huge sum he is reported to
harS- lost by unlucky speculations. In
I zone year alone his fees amounted to
nearly $4,000. One Of Sloan's great
est victories on the English turf was
when he won the Goodwood cup for
Mrs. Langtry on Norman. The race
was worth $4,000. and Sloan is said
TO have received fee of $4,000. When
he rode Ballyhoo Bey to victory in the

are victorious. The Count de La
grange presented Grimshaw with $780,
600 for steering Gladiator to victory.
For plotting Blue Gown first past the
post in the Derby of 1868 Sir Joseph
