GOOD MORNING
JUDGE
BY RUDOLPH PERKINS.
Ever See One Like Him.


government mule.
Sunday night Alice Carey and some
friends had little set-out. They in
vited several young men. 1t was all
very respectable.
Invitations had gone out several
days before. Harry Martin had got
ten one. He showed 1t to Andrew
Taylor.
Then Andrew invited himself. He
knew the girls. So why shouldn't he
come. He had been on the horizon
only two minutes when some of the
girls snubbed him. They turned their
backs on him and refused to dance
with him.
One of the men asked the reason.
He was told. Then he went TO An
drew and showed him the door. An
drew couldn't see it.
The man, Charlie Pope. took him
and introduced him to said door. An
drew tore his trousers. He went
the door rather fast.
Charlie had to come to court. He
didn't mind a little thing like that.
OF course not, it was only matter
Of $ fine.
Too Many Women.
why can't you stay away from
this woman and let her alone?" asked
the court of John Diggs.
she runned after me Jedge," an
swered John, "she thinks All got
money, All can't go nowhar dat she
amt right on nah heels"
John. so the cops say, had put out
one of Rosie Calvin's lights" broke
OFF a tooth, bIackened her eye, tore
her hair and banged her in general.
Outside of that he hadn't done very
much, he said. The woman had re-
minded him OF a present he promised
to buy her. He had told her quite
few times, that If she would close her
face he would get the gift for her.
Saturday night, Rosie tackled him
as he was getting paid off. He
couldn't back down then. she thought.
So he backed up against wall and
let loose with both fists. There was
another woman waiting for part OF
the envelopes contents.
Hence the rage at Rosie. But it
would have been cheaper to have
pay a go fine.
It's the Woman Who waits.
On his way home from church
Sunday night, Elbert Jones said to
wiley:
wait a minute honey, All wants to
see a fren' right in dis house. All
will be out in two seconds"
Wifey waited patiently for half an
hour. All the time she was pacing
the sidewalk, getting more nervous
and fidgety. Several times she went
up to the door of the house. Each
time she lost her nerve. Finally she
summoned enough courage to try the
knob.
It would be a shame to tell what
she saw and heard. Anyhow she
grabbed Ida Jenkins by the wool and
dragged her all over the street.
Ebert had only intended to stay a
second, but Ida winked her eye at
him. He had lost about 50 in a crap
game with Ida's friends, and his
standing with wifey.
And to think he kept her waiting
all this time while he talked to an
other woman.
Ida was revenged. The court fined
wifey so.
The ProdigaI Son.
John Campbell is on the "outs"
with every member of his family.
Even his mother complains against
him.
Sunday afternoon John had some
words with his brothers girl. They
say he threatened to send her over
the River Jordon.
"Dey's is jes' sore agin me, dass
ALL" explained John. Seems as though
his mother said that he hadn't con-
tributed but s. in two years to the
upkeep of the house. When we think
of the high cost of living. we can
hardly blame her IL she got sore
You can't live very well on $3.50
per year.
At least you can't get very fat
Other people said John had a gun
and wanted to use it., but they ran
and wouldn't let him.
If he wants to keep out of jail,
John will have to leave home and
mother and go to live with strangers.
What he needs is less relatives and
more friends.
The court set him at liberty on
bonds, (not liberty bonds). but peace
bonds.
The Girls VIII Talk.
Martha Craig was coming out of
house on c street, talking, fussing
and fighting with another woman.
She had her head turned a different
way from which she was walking.
She ran plump into a cop. He was
rather reasonable about the collision.
Martha said: why in de h doan
you fool cops stay outen folks way?'
Cut the cussing, warned the cop,
or III lock you up. Go on down the
street and mind your business"
Like h All will. said Martha
defiantly, "Ah will stay here as long
as All d. please"
Il hardly think so,' replied the cop.
He grabbed her and took her to
the box.
But Martha has learned a lesson
now. Never again will she sass a
cop. 1t cost her Is days In jail.
