Good Morning,
Judge!
By RUDOLPH PERKINS.

Get q Flock Of Tears and save n
Lawyers Fee.
A woman's tears nearly always
have their effect on mere man.
But seldom do the salty drops oo.-
ing from a big mans eyes affect an
other man.
In this day and ago anything at
all may happen. Fred Boston. az
legged wife-beater, can swear to IL.
Fred was fined $50 for an alleged
assault on Mrs. Boston. He did not
have the money.
As the vision OF prison bars
loomed up before him his knees
gave way and he cried-and then
cried some more. His wife cried too.
Il amt got no $50" Boston
moaned. Don't know where
could get $50. Just CANT see $50
at all"
Boston was hailed into court and
charged with hitting his better half
| in the face with a bottle. His wife
complained that she had been get
ting this sort of a love tap ever
since their marriage last March.
tI still love my wife," walled Bos-
ton when his wife got through.
.Lemme go this time en- will never
come in this court again"
II will give you another chance, .
said the court. 'and put you on pro-
baton. Don't come back here any
more on such a charge because IL
you do IL means Jail for you" The
sentence of the court was sus-
| pended.
LiChts Ont.
Edward Ellison is a Georgetown
| junk dealer. -
His name has been in the news
papers lots of times. but that does
not worry him.
Ellison drives an automobile. He
had the machine out on NJ street
northwest the other night 1t seems
that the headlights were not on the
job.
Policeman ]. C. Dalgleish came
up and placed the man under ar
rest. Then some harsh words fol-
lowed.
Dalgleish said that Ellison called
him a pig. and preceded the noun
with an oath.
Ellison denied the charge. All
that he said, he explained to the
court, was to ask the policeman not
to drag him into court.
| Judge Hardison listened to both
sides of the case and then did some
thinking.
Then he fined Ellison 80 for the
bum headlights and dismissed the
charge of disorderly conduct.
Boy, Page Mr.. Ford.
It's funny how the big newspa-
pers and the big news agencies
miss the important stories.
Just imagine a giant concern IKE
Henry Ford's place at Detroit shut.
ting down and all the employees lad
of and not line in the daily pa
pers.
Albert A Nolan may be wrong
when he said this happened. but the
insisted that he had been there tc
see it done and happened to be ir
town just because Henry closed the
whole works down in Detroit.
Be that as 1t may. what the couri
wanted to know was why Albert
was asleep in a day coach in the
Union Station yards without per
mission.
Policeman Broderick found hin
curled up on a seat and took him
to the lookup. He was charged will
trespassing on railroad property.
Albert blew in from Philly, HI
said, and when he found himself Il
Washington his pocketbook was II
a state of complete paralysis. 1t alb
solutely refused to function. Hence
the free lodging in the day coach.
The man seemed to be a jack of
all-trades. He was asked by JudC'
Hardison what kind of job HI
wanted, but the court didn't fin,
out.
So the case was referred % th'
probation officer. who may have ;
job for him IL the pay Is enough.
It's o Hard, Coal World.
1t is hard enough to get coal tc
the consumer when all concerned

But when a man in charge o.
