No Monkey Business
for Municipal Judge

A defendant before the bar OF mu-
nicipal justice, having heard of the
manner in which the mayor dishes out
fines whenever he thinks the accused
guilty, appeared before the court few
days since accompanied by lccai
attorney whose services he had Sc
cured. Mayor Coffman seemed to re-
sent the attorneys presence. He evi
IDENTIFY harbored the idea that the at
torney had been brought into court
TO block the wheels of justice, so after
having first heard the evidence he pro
ceeded to fine the defendant while the
attorney was yet arguing that his
client was guiltless.
AS Judge Grigsby tells the story, the
attorney stemmed his flow Of oratory,
and after gazing in openeyed awe at
the mayor for moment suffered,
"why, what do you mean, your honor? ?
Don't you know that in filming this
man you are setting most pernicious
precedent
"What?' queried the mayor IN a
somewhat puzzled maner.
4 said, sir, most pernicious prece
dent" exclaimed the lawyer.
"Mr. Officer" said the mayor turn
ing to waiting policeman, bring that
man into court. If ats-his-namt
Precedent was mixed up in this wei
fine him, too"
In the trial of another case before
the municipal court an attorney il
trying to throw a shadow of doub'
upon the testimony of a witness fol
the prosecution said, among otheI
things, "Your Honor, this man is un
worthy of belief. He acknowledges HI
was with the prisoner at the bar whei
the offense was committed, and by hi
own admissions becomes a particep
criminis."
"Now, what the h is that?' aske
the mayor with due judicial SO
emnity," at least. that is the Judg
Grigsby reports it.

PROTECTED BY
PROVIDENCE?

Does a benign providence watch
over and care for children, drunkards

which Biblical tradition tells us rolled
back the waters of the sea in order
that the children of Israel might pass,
dry shod, into the wilderness, there 70

which surround the everyday path or
human life, whenever fellow comes
