All Al Get. I. synpathy

| All Al GETS is Sympathy.
Somebody told Carrie Williams that
her friend. Addie Jones, had been
stabbed. Everything, else had hap
pened to Addie and Carrie thought
she would call around and see how
she was taking the new sensation.
Addie had no use for sympathy
from a woman who had owed her
fifty cents ever since she was a child.
She said SO. -
Then Carrie offered her a drink.
She refused that Then she ordered
Carrie out OF the house. Carrie
wouldn't 90. Addie showed her
against the stove and burned her
ankle.
Then a free-for-all fight occurred in
which all the neighbors Joined In be-
cause it had been real dull out there
that day.
Carrie got slashed with o knife in
three places. Addie saw an opening
in the lighting mob and thought no
one would see her when she yanked
out a knife. Carrie saw and felt 1t
all.
These little cut-ups do not take
very well in Police Court and Judge
Pugh sent Addie down for sixty days
without even the privilege of pay
ing a fine.
queer Doinss.
Ed Lomaz and Harry Burns have
both married the same woman. But
OF course not at the same time. Ger
tainly not.
Harry Is the lady's second choice,
she having thrown Ed over about a
year ago. Ever since she has had a
bad taste in her mouth.
She used to sit and wonder why
she ever was fool enough to trade a
real man for an imitation. Ed no.
ticed that she quit sticking up her
nose at him. and he suspected the
reason.
Sunday afternoon. Carrie, the wo-
man, ran around to see Eddie about
some little troubles Her husband
had taken to strong drink and threat
ened to bang her in the kisser.
Ed still had a warm spot In his
heart for Carrie and volunteered to
protect her. He went back and
found Harry all "stewed" and acting
very ugly.
Harry had visions Of the unwritten
law and pitched into Ed, but he got
the worst of 1t. 1t is a mystery what
he is going to do now because he Is
in for thirty days and Ed Is loose
and wifey wouldn't pay his fine.
sadie's Alright Now.
Sadie Green had been in Jail. She
said she was innocent. but no one
| wou,d believe her. When she came
out the people who liked her when
she had money. Stunned her, insult
cd her and embarrassed her when they
could.
She got several jobs. but some smart
alec told her boss all about her. She
met a man who sympathized with
her and she stuck to him.
He happened to be a friend also OF
Alice Jones. one of her tormentors.
And you can imagine Alice's feelings
when a "workhouse bird" had taken
her man away from her. She puffed
up like. a pouter pigeon 1t was an
| outrage.
She gave the man the choice of her
self and Sadie. The man chosed Sadie.
Another reef out of her sails.
Monday night she followed Sadie
and the man home from the movies.
She waited outside of Sadie's house
until the man went home.

Butchers Will Decide
On Big Strike Tonight

Whether Washington will go meat
less or not for some time, will be de-
cided this evening at a meeting of
discontended butchers in a hall of
Southeast Washington.
Butchers are asking for a general
increase in wages with less working
hours. They ask for time and a
half for overtime, double time for
Sunday and half holiday on Satur-
days.
The meeting tonight will decide the
question of a general strike. The N.
Auth Provision Company has already
acceded to the demands of its en-
ployes. 1t is rumored that other
large butchering establishments are
considering a compromise.
