They VIII Bite.

They VIII Bite.
Last Monday night George Trailo-
was walking about the streets like
a lost sheep.
He wandered up Seventh street near
a Yokamee joint. He saw a good
looking woman come out.
She walked past him. She saw that
he looked down in the mouth and
she ''pitied'' him.
In less than two minutes the two
were talking and laughing like they
had known eacn other all their lives.
They had a grea7 time that even
ing. They visited one yokamee joint
after another. They went to the
movies.
When George got home he pattsd
himself on the back. He was sure
some lady-kilier. he thought.
Something caused him to look IN
his pants pocket. Great guns! HIS
bank roll waJ gone.
He tainted dead away. When he
told his story.
But" said the court, there is
no evidence that this woman, Hat
IAC DdNhCNtp bOOh SOdE e4-- w AlOhCy
was found on her."
''She Is de very woman wot picked
me up, Jedge." persisted George. "Ah
kin tell by her shape"
Let the case be dismissed" said
the court. ''If you pick up a strange
woman on the street and she robs
you. take a good look at her, so you
can identify her more positively"

While he Jay asleep on q pool

in and ten minutes later wifey
knew all about him.

and saw Ralph.
SEEKING a stick, she prodded him
to wake him. He cussed at her and
ordered her home.
She wouldn't go. She kept on
prodding him. The men in the pool
room stood around and made fun Of
her efforts.
In her prodding she prodded once

grabbed her.
He threw her all around the floor

panes Of glass in your parlor win

He tole me dat All could go whar It

It appears that John rented a
room from Cora. Cora says that she
asked him several times to move but
he refused.
The other evening some friends
came by and called to John from the
sidewalk. They didn't come in be-
cause Cora didn't like to have her
parlor carpet soiled.

He had a hat on and wasn't cut.
