Morning,
Judge!
by RUDOLPH PERKINS

Did it snow or didn't it snow?
George Branther said it did His
sweetheart Rebecca Lewis said it
did not-and offered to take him to
the Weather Bureau to prove it.
George expressed the opinion that
all weather prophets were more or
less strangers TO the truth-but Re
becCa insisted that they knew to
certainty what had already hap
pened, but sometimes made mistakes
in predictions as to future atmOs-
pheric disturbances.
Instead of stopping the argument
with the women then and there like
wise man would, he continued il
until he got all worked up. Then
he said some mean things, so the
police said
He kept up the tirade when he
got out on the sidewalk and annoyed
the neighbors, so 1t was alleged.
The court put an end to the whole
business by taking IS away from
George and advising him to quit
fussing with the women.

Once upon a time Gerry Adams
lost his whole weeks pay in a craps
game. He suspected that someone
slipped one over on him but he could
not then place the responsibility for
the alleged trick.
He was invited to join another
dice rolling outfit and went to the
game armed with a AS automatic.
He was not going to take any
chances this time.
By some sort of freak luck he
won Sc and was on his way home
when the cops noticed the bulge in
his hip pocket.
"Ah gotta hab some means of
prOteCtin' mahseff. Jedge." he eX-
planned. "Ah cum near starvin' dat

some thinking, i"you are not in any
danger of starving now. l can see

cuse for the craps game. either. You

NEW YORK. Jan. 17.-Down where

There were some very big finan-

wanted him to explain certain irreg-

with which he had been entrusted;
and more, they wanted cash or Sc
