BAILIFF BARRY HAS
HEAVENLY DREAM

IT was hot in Judge Cole s court yes
terday. The fans and open windows
served to circulate the air, but did not
cool it. A long drawn out civil case
was on, over which the lawyers argued,
objected and questioned witness
after witness. His honor sat on the
bench, alternately mopping his brow
and reaching for ice water. young
ster among the group of witnesses fid-
geted and insisted on water every few
minutes. The noise of passing autos
drifted in from the outside, punctuated
several times by blows from the fire
siren, while at almost regular intervals
some asthmatic, racketly flivver would
be started on it s weary way in the
alley to the rear of the court, with n
noise that sounded like combination
of machine guns in action and thous-
ands of bolts rattling in an immense
barrel. There were few if any specta-
tors, for an uninteresting civil case af-
fords little spice to the curious.
Small wonder then that it was an
easy matter for one to take "forty
winks' now and then. Charlie Barry,
the genial bailiff, was noticed slipping
off to dreamland on one occasion. He
remained for several minutes, came to
with jerk, and n startled expression
on his face, which soon gave way to
his usual smile. Asked later the reason
for the smile, Charlie said:
