"Ah put dat gal outa nah house.
Jedge." said Paul snowden, '.;cause
she was doin' some scandalous
dancin'.
she cum aroun' wild her brudder
enc some more fellas. Dey started
playin' de pianna. Den she danced.
All axed her not to pleez do. dat"
OF course we can see that Paul
is perfect gentleman because he
refused to allow the can-can to be
danced in his home.
Evelyn Briggs, the lady who Paul
| said did the dance. was very much
bruised up in getting put out.
Her beau persuaded her to have
Paul arrested.
Anyhow. all hands were, mad at
the man because he broke UP the
party.
1t would have been broken UP any
how, because two cops watching near
by were almost ready to close in
on the joint
II Evelyn hadn't fought - back at
Paul when he was putting her out,
she wouldn't have been hurt.
1t was her own fault. It turned
out, and the court let Paul go.
No wedding Bells for John.
Dat man he say All promised to
marry him. All didn't do nothin' OBJ de
kind. Wen All wants ter git married
| All wants a real man-not a imitation
man.
Den he cum to nah house en- TUX

he would kill me. Den he hit me-"
It's pretty tough to be called an imi-
tation man-but that is what Ivy Jones
said about John Preston.
John had come to the house, Ivy
said. and demanded that she fly away
with him.
And as Ivy is only IS her wings are
not quite strong enough Just yet.
She refused. And then John smacked
her Jaws-tore her shirtwaist-and
viewed her on the shins.
However. John has a very different
tale to tell.
"Jedge, dat gal spent all nah money
wot All glib her to buy furniture wild
! we was engaged-en aftah she trowed
nah coin away dat away. she trowed
me away"
This puts an entire different color
on the whole story.
Even soft does not excuse John for
beating the girl who spurned him.
He had to shell out a so bill,
Tony Gets Rough.
Tony Prestandrea operates a shoe
repairing establishment.
As rule Tony is a very polite man
to deal with.
But in some manner he few or the
handle at a lady customer the other
day.
This customer had brought a pair
of shoes to Tony to be fixed.
A couple Of days later she came
back for them.
She carried the shoes over to the
window to see what Tony had done
ITO them. The light in the shop is
none too good.
Misunderstanding this movement,
Tony ran over and grabbed her by
the arm and bruised it.
| He thought sure that the lady was
going to run of without paying him.
And he was very much afraid of
losing a little money.
Not only did Tony lose a good Gus
toner. but he was arrested in the
bargain.
The lady resented very much hav-
ing her arm bruised and her feelings
hurt by an insinuation that she was
trying to cheat Tony.
And very much to Tony's surprise
the court sent him to Jail for ten
days-without any fine.
The Time Does Fly.
Annie was saving this coat for
colored woman, has a little clock that
was given to her for a Christmas
present.
The other day Annie brought the
clock down stairs and set 1t on the
parlor table, intending to set 1t an
hour ahead.
Then she went out to work. She
had no idea that the timepiece would
| run away.
1t did-aided and abetted by Jim
johnson. Jim also swiped a coat be-
longing to Annie's son, who, by the
| way, Is in France
Annie was saving this this coat for
