The Tough Way.

Good Hope road. They saw a man
coming behind them.
Soon he caught up with them. He
was Jim Thompson. He knew one of
the girls.
He clutched her by the arm.
A man is weitin' fo' you down de
road" he informed her.
"Wot man." asked the girl. becom-
ing alarmed.
"He is de undertaken" Jim replied.
zen If yo' open yo' face I'll shoot yo'
nose off.
A big pistol was pressing against
her ribs.
Then she tainted. The other girls
ran. She was in n faint, lay in the
middle of the road. all in a heap.
Jim only turned UP his nose and
walked on. For month the cops
hunted for him. All the time he was
working at Camp Meade.
They say criminals always come
back TO the scene of their crime. \
cop nabbed him.
The court says this soaring of
women must stop. 1t will for at least
60 days if Jim don't get hold Of so.

monkeying with the signal system at
one of the army corps.
Pieces of cable and copper wire
have been disappearing. Spies were
surprised to be busy. 4 watch IVES set
Josh Adams was nabbed with a
grip full of war stun. But he was no
spy. Just an ordinary electrician who
was not over particular about his
right TO take the wires.
With him was his helper-a boy.
The boy proved that he didn't know
anything about it. He was turned
loose.
Josh got a lecture from the court.
He was told of the danger of getting
shot and all that sort of thing
And, to let this lecture soak i'm good,
the court fined him So.
Here's a New Ono.
Judge. they arrested me and took
me to the station house and found
this mans watch on me. but 1 swear
! don't know how it got there" said
Charlie Love. charged with lifting"
a watch and chain.
We'll. l have heard of watches rum
ming" said the court, but l never
heard of one walking. This mans
watch certainly didn't walk up and
get in your pocket"
John Pilkerton was In bed in his
room. He heard Charlie rustling
around. He was looking for a match
he said.
When Charlie was taken to No.
the watch was found in his pocket
He pleaded ignorance and innocence.
And since Charlie was anxious to
have a watch on him, the court ac-
comodated him by sending him to
jail for so days. He will be watch
ed down there.
A Fruit Stand Comedy.
Two Greeks, Jim Manjouras and
George Maudis, were buying grapes
for their stands. They were arguing
about the price.
WELL said the dealer to Jim. 'if
you don't want to pay s1.90 a crate,
I'll sell 'em to George for s..
He walloped George. George hit
back. Greek met Greek in a very live
ly tustle. 4 cop heard the rumpus
He investigated.
Jim was arrested. He said Georce
| had made a Greek sign to him that
meant something like the Malta.
Anyhow it meant that he (Jim) was
to prepare for long journey.
"Jutch. he hitta me from behind, -
said George, 'Oh no." said Jim, ms
hitta you in da front where your
nose is"
Alright Jim," said the court" pa
fine of SO.
May BE He's Right.
"Mistah Jutch. l am a Greek.
am ashamed TO tell you that l am
one. You know that Greeks are hard
peoples. When they owe you any
money, they are harder yet"
1t is not often that a man runs
down his own race. but when the
king of the Greeks double crosses his
people. We cannot fuss with one OF
his subjects.
Chris Coaz had worked a couple of
days for Spiras Dendrines. He was
waiter. He got s1.50. per day and
eats, IL he could eat.
Chris waited on some tough custom
ers. He disliked the job on the sec
ond day.
He asks Spiras for his pay. Moth
ing doing, said Spiras.
You no pay me. huh." said Chris.
That is just like a Greek-'
Bang went Chris's umbrella over
the head of Spiras. He yelled murder.
A cop ran up. He arrested Chris.
Chris is out his two days pay and
$40 bill.
