asuch a shame.

"Such q shame.
Judge, All can't walks mahseff
down the street or eben go to de lunch
room to eats mahseff some lunch dat
dis yere woman don't make some
mean lowdown remarks bout me-" /,
.Is that right?' asked the court of
Clois Henson, who was the complain
ing witness against Eva Louis. Eva
was arrested for telling Clois what
she thought of her. Just what Eva
said the censor won't let us print,
but the interesting part of it all is
what made Eva say such things. Clois
has a baby whose lower limbs are
slightly warped and when Eva sees
1t she says some real mean things.
Clois got tired of 1t as she isn't bow
legged and neither is her husband.
1t was no use of Eva addressing her
remarks to the child because 1t could
mt understand her so she picked
on the mother and that is why she had
to folk up IS.
It's Not 'Farr" to Occoquan.
Tom Farr had intended to 20 to
the theater Friday night, but forgot
all about 1t. He introduced himself
to a Chicken on Ninth street about
7:3o and the theater had Just as well
been in Germany for all Tom cared.
The girl didn't fancy the theater and
she soon left Tom. as he didn't have
sufficient of the long green to be at
tractive.
Tom ambled around with numerous
Manhattans splashing around inside of
him and he didn't think OF the theater
until it closed. Then he buzzed around
feeling very disagreeable and show
ing his feelings to passersby and It
was perfectly natural that he should
land in No. /. He could have saved
SIS II he had gone where he had in
tended going first and let the chick
en-" alone.
$50 Long. Mary
Never again will Mary Tupper want
to lead a dogs life. Mary lived In
Southwest Washington somewhere un-
til yesterday. but she now resides at
Occoquan. For thirty hot August
days Mary will remember the Friday
morning she fiirted with a gin bottle
and travelled down by the District dog
pound and laid down on the steps and
went to sleep.
A cop came along and asked her II
she wanted to get a mongrel out of
hook and Mary said she needed a
drink far worse than the dog. The
cop got her glass OF water and Mary
accused him of wanting to choke her.
The court suggested that 1t would have
been better IL Mary had someone to
take care of her. She didn't have SO
10 pay her fine, and besides II she had
had so she would have gone to a
swell place and got a swell jag on
swell liquor.
Only a Woman Can Do II.
So much of Clicks Alley is at Oc-
coquan that Mr.. Whitaker is consid-
ering naming a section down there
Clicks Alley so the numerous prison.
Ners from that locality may feel at
home. The latest recruit from the
alley Is Sevella Prentiss. Sevella had
a quarrel with herself Friday evening
and was giving herself so much back
talk that cop rushed in the alley
and thought real scrap was going
on.
He was very much surprised to find
only one person and he searched
around for the one Sevella was talk
ing too. Not finding any one he
started to converse with Sevella and
found that she had nothing in COM
mon with policemen and he removed
the noise and Sevella to the station
house. 1t cost Sevelia IS to have the
argument.
