"shimmying into the office"
| If that type gets husband, then
I'll say there is a man for every
woman in the world. Her husband
is the kind that eats his meals out
of tin cans. She spends all afternoon
at the movies and then rushes into
the delicatessen shop at 5 o'clock.

Boy and Dog.
! Then came the story Of the boy
who "stole" the bull pup: a crime
almost as awful as murder" The
boy is escorted into court by three
policemen. Reason for three-dollar
Iapiece witness fees for the police.
The boy tells his story and calls the
policemen big fat cop
"If you want to go a policeman
mad call him cop, bull or dick" the
Judge said. you see,' and he
'chuckled, "he's like Judge; 1t hurts
ia judges dignity to be called mister
The story, was this. The boy was
going down street and he saw this
bull pup behind the fence. He called
to the pup, and the dog came to him
and was petted. 1t followed him down
the street, and at the corner the boy
it from being run over. The police
man said he had a string tied around
its neck. The boy said sure, why
catch the dog and run the risk Of it's
getting away again and getting
killed" The cops said TASK him
where he got the string"
No need to ask" Judge Baggott
said. II was boy once, and you
know boys pockets are filed with
string, fish hooks, worms, SNAKES, |
crumbs from six cookies n every
thing. II you betray the confidence
of boy or a dog you never get It
again." he admonished. THAT boy
didn't stop to reason that when be
petted the dog, and the gate was ppen
the dog would follow him If steal
steal an electric light franchise, or
something Like that, because steal
for the lust Of goal. That boy took
the dog because Of the love of boy

Girls and Gossip.
Then came the smash at the Cos |
sip. She lived next door to a pretty !
girl, and boy in the neighborhood |
called on that girl frequently He |
usually went home at ten thirty, but |
this one night that this woman saw |
them, it was eleven-thirty before he |
left. After that the woman ran all |
around the neighborhood saying |
she's bad girl, he didn't go home |
until eleven, thirty"
Gust how that girl could be good |
until ten-thirty, and then bad from
then to eleven-thirty I never have |
figured out. We are bound around |
by so many small minded convention
alities that we can't discuss in a |
mixed audience the most malignant |
cancer that is eating the social body.
The problem of the Juvenile court |
always has been said to be the boy
problem, but the girl problem is Just
as serious and few agencies are at |
work to help her.
The Triangle
He told of the girl, the man and
the mans wife who appeared in MS
court recently. A woman probation
officer was presenting the case of the
girl who was picked up in Springfield,
oulU, hVluS Will LlS HAL WHO was Y
charged with contributing to her de-
linquency. The girl admitted it all, /
said the man had promised her a lot
of pretty clothes. Judge Baggott said l
to the girl that If she'd look at his
wife, she'd know that the man falsi-
fed to her. Then the wife's turn
came, and she wanted the girl pun
ished. She was running after her
husband.
''In all seriousness where did she
get the information that the girl was
running after her husband Had the II
man been fair and square, had he II
been without blame, wouldn't he have Il
gone to his wife and asked her 20 n
help him, if the girl really was run
ming after him. Did you ever hea,
of mans getting out Of breath and
breaking speed laws to get away
from girl who was running after
