Proving a Lullaby.

Among the morning batch of cul-
prits hailed before a Hattiesburg police
Judge a few mornings ago was one
whom the judge addressed thus:
"The charge against you is that
you attempted to hold up pedes-
trian at two o'clock this morning,
What have you to say for yourself?"
"Not guilty, Judge; l can prove a
lullaby"
The judge smiled in spite of him
self. "You mean an alibi,' he said.
Begging your honor's pardon, it
was a lullaby Ny wife will swear
that at two o'clock this morning |
was walking the floor with the baby. '
