Judge Hardison as He
Fines Huckster.

IF all the profiteers in Washing
ton were arrested we would have to
enlarge the Jail. and all of them
should be arrested"
This declaration was made by

a cripple, was charged with selling
potatoes and apples by short weight

and a half bushel of apples from the
defendant. She demanded that the
bushel of potatoes weigh sixty
pounds. 1t did not and she sum-
moned Inspector Howe of the Office

and measures. Howe found the DO
tatoes were a peck and a half short
by measure and twenty-six pounds
short by weight.
The defendant declared he was
employed by a huckster and had no
control of the measuring and weigh
ing of produce. His attorney plead
ed that Anson's personal bonds be
taken.
Personal bonds will do not good. -
Judge Hardison said. IF the pris-
oner is guilty he should be punish
