HAD GOOD POINTS
Hot-Tempered Woman Evidently
Not Altogether Bad.
Surely No Hlah-Priced Lawyer Could
Have Surpassed Pathetic Pisa
Of Husband Which Won
Her Her Liberty.

There was n negro family living In
Bowling Green, Ky. The wife had
3 notoriously ungovernablc temper
usually taking it out on her husband
who was meek and lowly. On this oc-
casion she struck him with n skillet
infilctlng wound so painful and dam
serous as to necessitate his having 10
be taken &c the hospital for treat
merit. The neighbors, knowing the
violent temper of the wife, and the
cruel treatment she had inflicted upon
her husband for such long time,
were so outraged they could endure II
no longer, and procured warrant FOR
her arrest on the charge of assault
with q deadly weapon.
The husband sat through the trial
giving rapt attention to its every de-
tail. The case was handed over 70
the jury and after very brief delibera-
| ton 1t brought in verdict of guilty
The old darkey husband rose and
said:
"Marse Jedge / don't reckon moth.
ing ole niger could say would make
much diffnnce, but would lax TO say
a word before you send the 'old'oman
to the penitenshy. She's always been
good mother to the chilIun, all the
nsighhors viii tell you that. She
washes and scrubs and sews and
mends for EN-, and keeps 'em clean
and nice, an when they's sick she sits
up with 'em OF night And, Marse
ledge, / Jest want to Ak, you If you
won't let her 20 by the house and see
the chillun befo' you send her 10 the
/ penitenshy. They's at home al alone
right now, cryin' they po little hearts
| ont and 1t would do 'em good, and the
ole oman. too, If she could just go
and kiss 'em good-by befo she was
| put In the penitenshy."
! BY this time the Judge and the spec
tators were in tears and the judge
said Gentlemen Of the Jury,
haven't passed sentence yet and II
YOU want few minutes TO further
consider this case. I will be glad to
grant it." The jury retired and in q
few minutes returned with a verdict
Of mot guilty"

The policy of the Ford Motor Company to sell its
cars for the lowest possible price consistent with
dependable quality is too well known to require
comment. Therefore, because of present con-
dtlons, there can be no change in the prices on
Ford cars.
