The other day Al called Josie down
when she turned and spoke to one OF
her childhood friends.
She resented the way Al went after
her and being quite irritated she

"self-defense"-fhat word so often
used by those kind Germans was the
only justification Al offered for his

Garner. the man sitting next TO him.

However. John noticed that his
pants pocket had an empty feeling
and he looked suspiciously at Louis
He continued to look at him for about
five minutes Louis feigned sleep.
Cautiously John signaIled a COP

Reaching into the mans pocket
John rescued his 50 bill.

But John says what we said in the

Looking Upwards.
Last Sunday morning Eva wescott
was standing on the sidewalk in front
OF her home. looking up at an aero
plane.
She stood there for quite a while
and 1t began to get on the neighbors'
nerves.
One OF them remarked that Eva
ought to go inside and wash her
breakfast dishes and then apply the
washrag 10 her own face as well.
Eva said nothing until the comments
became too numerous.
Then she told some Of the neigh
bors TO go to blaEes and shut up.
We don't know Just what comments
Lottie Davis made about Eva. but
Lottie came outdoors and told Eva
that she wouldn't shut up-and what's
more she couldn't be shut UP either,
she said.
Eva went inside and got her nrst
husbands cane, came out with II and
let it fly at Lottie's head.
Lottie was in court with her head
bandaged up and asked the court to
send Eva down for life.
But Eva's crime did not warrant
such drastic punishment. The court
couldn't see where II was worth more
than so, and told her so.
