FORGER HAD NEVER
 HEARD OF KIPLING

Bernard Lotz told County Judge Dike in Brooklyn that he had never heard till that moment of Rudyard Kipling. The chances are that Kipling hasn't yet heard of Lotz, although he saved Lotz from being sentenced for forgery, says the New York American.
 Lotz had been found guilty of forging the name of John J. Monahan to mar riage license. He explained he did it to help out Monahan in his desire to marry Mrs. Katherine Kavanaugh, widow with two children.
 Monahan is F and Mrs. Kavanaugh is |-well-older than that, and Monahan wasn't positive that his papa and mamma would let him marry. So Lotz. mature person, signed the license and Monahan became at the same instant husband and stepfather. When Lotz was called before him for sentence yesterday Judge Dike said:
 Have you ever heard of Rudyard Kip ling?"
 T never have" Lotz replied
 Well" the judge continued, T read some Kipling yesterday, while consider ing your case, and I am free to say that eminent writer determined for me what shall do with you. MT Kipling says: For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.' And so, Lotz, will sus- pend sentence in your case You may go.''
 Nobody knows whether or not Mrs. Kavanaugh- -Monahan has heard of Judge Dike's decision yet

 Its shame to throw it away" he said, flor I believe it can still be turned about so that it will have a commer- cia1 value. I know what I will do, I will offer prize to the workman who brings in the best new twist"
 So when the workmen were gathered in the room he told them that he wanted them to beat out a new and clever turn upon the old motto: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." He gave them just one hour at their anvils, with monetary prize for the best effort and honorable mention for the others. And union wages of course for all.
 When the time was up this assort- ment was handed in.
 "A chauffeur in the front seat is worth two under the motor car"
 "A kiss in the dark Is worth two un- der the electric light"
 "A grain of sand on the beach ts worth two in the eye"
 "A gift from a husband after mar riage is worth two from lover be- fore.''
 "A suffragette on hunger strike in A prison Is worth two doing damage at large"
 "A weeks wages in bank is worth two in a trousers pocket that the wife is going through at night"
