in to sling his feet around a little.
Ambrose had just about had all the
girls, crazy, over. him when In, stepped
two soldiers. one of whom he had a
short time back did a very neat Job
Of carving for. Both men recognized
him and right away they wanted to
even up old scores.
Ambrose beat 1t as fast as he could,
but 1t was no use. He yanked his
favorite carver from his pocket and
was about to cut his opponents to
ribbons when he sighted cop and
threw the razor away.
It was discovered that Ambrose had
gotten in bad with the Maryland
authorities for being too quick with
his razor, and when he serves a Co
day sentence he will be introduced to
them.
Empty stomach Conscience.
Tony Patkasa, a Russian Greek, has
been in this country for about ten
years and speaks good Russian, poor
Greek and no English. Tony was in
court because his stomach needed
food, not because his soul hungered
for music. Toney swiped a clarinet.
He was very hungry and he couldn't
eat the clarinet nor could he play
1t as he didn't know which end to
blow. So he sold 1t and gorged him
self with ham and -.
The owner missed the instrument
and suspected Tony, as Tony was the
only man who had access to the room.
The court didn't want to send Tony
down to Occoouan to push the lawn
mower around so II turned him over
to the tender mercies OF the proba-
ton oficer.
That's what They All Say.

friends when the man came around.
Sunday afternoon Rosie found her
self out of job. Rebecca, the more
fortunate, told Rosie she didn't care
to room with her any longer and
threw her duds down the steps after
her. Rebecca neglected to turn over
to Rosie a special intimate" gar
ment and on Wednesday afternoon
Rose came around after IL. Rebecca
had IL on and wouldn't take 1t on.
The young man was around and
she just couldn't hand II over. So
Rosie grabbed the nearest weapon

Rebecca where the young man kissed

Wife's Gone to the Country.
Howard Reese had saved a little
pile Of money and threatened to buy
a farm.
This was all perfectly legal and
proper, but the important considera-
ton was whether or not wiley cared
anything about the country. She
told Howard that she preferred to
be near the electric lights and
movies" but hubby wouldn't listen.
He invited her out several times but
she wouldn't come. until last Sun
day when she went in an awful
hurry. For Howard had allowed his
affections to stray in the direction of
another woman. This other woman.

be ready to follow Howard to jail

him the minute she caught sight of
him. Howard argued that he had
tried awful hard to get wiley to
come and live with him. but she
said nay. And yet the court told
him that that was no excuse for
him to be a Mormon. He had
thrashed his wife very badly and
after she had softened her heart she
had him paroled and will go to the
country to watch him.

For sometime Clarence Sutton and
Dave Luckett have been having
words. Neither cared to start a real
scrap until Clarence made friends
with Louis Washington. Louis whis-
pered something in Clarence's ear
and the next time Clarence met Dave
he had something else besides words
for him. Clarence had been taught
the art of brick hurting under the
skillful guidance of Louis.
Wednesday night Clarence and Louis
contrived very wickedly to have Dave
get hurt. Dave and Clarence met
out on Sheridan Road in Anacostia
and what they didn't do to Dave
would NIL a whole police blotter. A
sweetheart of Dawes came to the
rescue and showed Dave the station
house after he had recovered. Louis
and Clarence were arrested and went
down in default Of a SO fine for each.

TOURIST TRAFFIC LARGE
Far in Excess Of That Of Same Period
Last Year

The tourist traf1ic In this city during
the past month has been far in excess
OF that in any corresponding period since
the automobile has been in general pop
ular use. according to Augusta hotel
men. The records show that the gain
over the mid-season traffic Of year ago
is OF about so per cent. Over most Of
the preceding years the margin is much
greater. There are various reasons sug-
gested as accounting for this marked
gain.
OF course the tourists are confining
their travels to this country on account
OF war conditions is no more true this
year than last season and the season
before This year. however many pleas
ure seekers have Stunned the coast re-
sorts through the doubtless unreasonable
fear OF submarine attacks. and the IN
land haunts have for this reason been es-
peciaily attractive. Then again. the road
conditions in this section have been bet
ter this season than last, and the detours
which lead many autoists by routes not
passing through Augusta have this year
been found unnecessary.
