pointed Bishop c. X. Nelson as trus-
tee. 1t was provided that the inter-

"Good Morning,
\ Human Interest Stories Of
Police Court Happenings,

The decoy brought back half pint
OF bum whisky. Tom was arrested.
Judge Mullowney remarked that 3
man who comes before the court the
second time for selling booze ought
to get stiff sentence.
It is hard matter, the Judge stated.
to soak q FIRST offender, especially
when he has q good reputation.
But q confirmed whisky seller like
Tom ought to get the limit.
And that In exactly what Tom got.
BY the time he gets out Of Jail most
of the whisky in the country win be
gone.
The court fined him 1900 and let
him have one year In Jail besides. II
Tom can't get hold Of the thousand,
he has nine more months to serve.
At the Cabaret.
Tuesday night Charlie Talbot and
his wife visited the cabaret.
Instead Of going right in and sit
ting down, Charlie and wife stood
in the hall and talked.
The boy must have been, feeling bad
ly. because he cut loose with some
mighty bad language.
The manager of the place, Harry
Jenkins, came out and told Charlie
to take his noise on out Of doors
and keep 1t there.
The folks inside wanted to make
little noise themselves and while
Charlie was making his noise they
couldn't hear their noise.
Harry got little impatient. Char.
| lie wasn't moving fast enough to suit
/ him and he went after him with q
stick.
As the boy sailed down the step.
a special officer grabbed him an6
turned him over to a regular cop.
Charlie was charged with an as.
sault on Harry. But he denied the
| charge.
In the fracas that followed the chas.
ing Of Charlie out Of the hall, Harry
| got a lick beside the head ana his
glasses were knocked Off.
He thought Charlie did 1t, but Char.
lies wife said they fell OF.
While the boy was guilty of dis.
! orderly conduct. there was no proc
that he was guilty Of an assault. 81
the court let him go.

| He swiped two suits. But they
were not Palm Beach suits. They
were patamas but John didn't know

The pajamas were the same colol

John tried to tell the court tina

him.
But he failed to explain why he was
trying to hide something that wa.
given him instead of carrying il

MOT all the battles of the war ars
N fought on the other side of tn,

at home the big, cleaning star on tn,

brother who is far away and who's
absence leaves such gap i'll the fam
lily circle. Gone are the days whef
his CHEEKY whistle sounded througf
the house and all that is left are the
memories that bring lump to the
throat and a mist to the eyes.
One little Omaha sister has foun,.
a way to bring home to the brother il
the cantonment camp, however. Sit.
ting in her sunny window, looking
the service flag of which she is sc
proud. Miss Dorothy Cavanaugh,
daughter of Mr.. aud Mrs. M. W

Cavanaugh who is at Camp Cody
Deming, N. M. Louis BoStwick was
told of her pan and with the aid OF
his camera and artists eye he pro-
duced some like-lifc photographs of
the Cavanaugh family in their home.
The pictures were taken on the eve
of Miss Dorothy's departure for
Washington where she attends Ma
tional Park Seminary and were put
into a lovely book. Intimate littls
scenes they arc, taken inside the
house and out-of-doors. A lovely
study of the young girl standing out
side the house just under the Service
flag in the window decorates the coy.

seem to have an appeal all their own
and to express in words the thought
of the young girl in the window:
Dear Brother:
At noon on Sunday these spictures
were made for you. In the evening
| left for Washington and National
Park Seminary. Saying goodbye to
the folks and leaving the dear old
home was the hardest job of my
life.
As my trunks went out ahead of me
it seemed as if something was pulling
me out into the cold world. But the
bright star IN the window seemed
brighter still.
How small my sacrifice compared
10 the bravery on your part to add
your strength and help to win the war
for a great liberty loving nation.
It's all for you dear. The prayers
of loving sister will follow you
every day and night.
DOROTHY.
