The Washington herald., 1917-08-03
Lucy I.n.t Leese Nsr.

Lucy AshN Loose NOW.
Freedman's Alley has made it's
appearance on the map once more.
1t is where Lucy Crump lives. Wed
nesday afternoon Lucy was ironing
some clothes and fussing about the
heat. The air was hot and the
irons were hotter and she had a
fire in the kitchen stove to heat
the irons. Hot all around 1t was
and 1t is easy to imagine how Lucy
felt when she froned the last skirt.
She threw the ironing board up
against the wall and plunged head
first into a bucket of hops and
malt. This cooled her off for a
while and she stuck her head out
of the window and told some loaf
ers to quit obstructing the breeze.
They moved and a cop came by and
Lucy grinned at him and called him
some scandalous names. Now II is
dead wrong to pick on an inno-
cent policeman and. Lucy was es-
corted to the station in the special
auto. The court sent her down for
80 days.
Nothing Else To Do.
Washington Jones and his wife
Hattie were walking up the street
Wednesday evening and were talk
ing about the price of fur coats.
Soon the conversation Jagged and
still they walked and said nothing.
Hattie famed herself with her
handkerchief and Washington used
his hat.
Finally the silence got on hubby,s
nerves because wifey could think
of nothing to talk about (here is
w he
ed, and he said. ''Womun, whyfo
you say nothin'?' "s'too hot and
All am almos' roasted" And with
out another word, hubby planted
his fist rather hard on wifey's Jaw.
She was not looking for this love
tap. because she said she can al
ways tell when hubby is about to
land on her and 1t sent ner almost
across the street and hubby had
to pay $40.
"Somes Affection.
Some day the police department Is
going to learn just who loves it and
who don't. They have two spotted

ton for it. Wednesday evening Ser

street. near Fourteenth. and two
colored men. George Tinsley and an

direction. When the men were about
to pass one another Tinsley showed
his contempt for the police depart
ment by humping Sergeant Mullen
on the shoulder. Mullen looked
around in surprise and so did Clancy.

and then Tinsley "cussed" Mullen
and the whole department, then
grabbed from his pal a heavy
silver-headed cane and was about to
break the bad news to Mullen when
he changed his mind. because Mullen.

man. pulled his gun. Tinsley was
fined s45 and sent down for three
months to think 1t over.
Tom Has No Manners.
Tom and Emma Garner frequently
have little spats and they blow over
and are forgotten. But they had one
that will not blow away for a Ions
time. A few days ago Emma went
down the street with a woman friend
and did a little shopping. Tom.
somewhat jealous, accused Emma,
when she came home, of going with
a man.
Emma denied 1t and Tom refused
to believe 1t. And right here the
geen-eyed monster got in its hooks
Tom picked up a chair and hit
Emma in the jaw with it. 1t left
a mark that no cosmetic could erase.
1t made Emma feel very badly, and
she had Tom arrested and Tom. his
pride hurt. had Emma arrested for
no other apparent reason than be-
cause he had hit her. The court
looked at Emma and looked at Tom
