Motorman: Three ladies got
off my car at Eleventh and q
yesterday. your honor, facing the
way the car was going, and
that's very unusual thing.
They generally face the wrong
way. That's the reason why !
noticed this case so particularly.
Two Of 'em stepped down to-
gether and waited for the other
one.
Further Reasons Disclosed.
Just as she stepped off, one
Of the ladies' said, Goodness gra-
cious,' and jumped for the curb.
She wore tan stockings. The
other one said, Gracious good.
ness and got to the curb. but
I don't know just how. She
didn't jump, she didn't run, she
didn't walk. she didn't fly. She
sorta jazzed over. That was the
one with the black stockings.
The Hell She Did.
The third one said-yes, sir,
she said-I heard It plain-she
said. Damn as the defendants
car came to q stop with the
handle of his sedan door tickling
the lady"s chin and the front
handhold Of my car pohing the
back Of her neck.

"A man was wedged in be-
tween the defendants car and
mine. like a Frankfurter In a
five-cent sandwich, only crosswlse,
and he was yelling to beat the
cheer leader of a lunatic asylum
eleven with the ball one yard
from the goal line and 30 seconds
to 60.
Congressman Blant0n Has Rival.
THE defendant moved forward
slowly and squeezed the man q
little tighter. He stopped yelling,
turned blue in the face, and his
eyes bulged until I thought some
one dropped live lobster out of
the window.
Move Forward, Please"
He had just about life enough
left to move along sideways with
the sedan, so he wasn't ripped
open entirely, as the defendant
was pulling out from my car,
giving him room to breathe again.
He took two or three deep breaths
and yelled some more"
Did he yell articulately?"
He did, your honor. I had
six years in the cavalry, and
never heard anyone yell as ar.
ticulately as he did. Not even
a mired mule skinner could touch
him."
"That isn't what I mean.
Could you understand what he
said?"
Well, Well. Books Have Feelings.
"Oh, that. Yes, sir. knew
what he meant. I guess every
body within a block knew, too,
and agreed with him. The de.
PENDANT jumped out Of his car,
walked over to the man, and hit
him on the nose. He under
stood what was meant. all right.

If I hadn't been pretty careful,

more careful without injuring
yourself to any great extent. $25.
