HIS CANARY PROVES
OLD MAID CAN'T sing
Aged Man Takes Bird to Court
After Being Fleeced i'm
Present for Wife.

Spectators and attendants In Tombs
Court were bewildeNed yesterday when
an aged man, carrying a burlap bag. en-
tered and moving slowly down the aisle
stood erect as his stopped shoulders
would permit before the desk of Magis-
trate Eilperin. The Magistrate was Gu
rious about the man, and the spectators
were curious about the bag.
The burlap bag. the old man began
to explain, contained an "old maid
canary bird" for which he had paid $3.75
believing it to be a songster. The sale
was several weeks ago. The man hap
pened to see an advertisement In Ger
man language newspaper, which said:
Special bargains in cheerful singers.
Just the thing for the holidays. Genuine
Harz Mountain birds and warranted to
sing"
That gave the aged man. Emil Jasse
of 304 West 134th street, bright idea.
Such bird would be friend wife's
Christmas present. Emil is 65 years old
and veteran seafaring man, and his
own memories of singing canaries car
red him back years ago to far voyages
on the seas.
So he bought a canary. Later he
bought a cage and took both up to the
house. At first he was worried as 10
how he could keep such a musical gift
secret from his wife. Then he decided
it didn't matter anyhow. He would let
the music start at once.
OF course birdie would sing, the old
man assured his wife-it was Harzer
But did 1t sing? 1t did not, the old man
most emphatically assured the court.
Instead of Christmas carols he and MS
i ..t~ x<>v M "A GiNklV
"tweet -tweet" all the day long.
Emil drew the bird from the bag as
he unfolded his story. Magistrate Ell
perrin looked 1t over carefully and told
the old man he was sorry. but the case
was one for a civil court.
