zens' Homes Cannot Be
Violated.

In granting a motion to quash in
formations against two defendants.
arrested for violation Of the prohibition
law without, according to evidence
submitted. the proper warrant. Judge
John Mcmahon in Police Court yester-
day severely criticized the police for
violating the home of a citizen.
"The sooner you policemen realize
that you cannot violate the home Of
a citizen: that his home is inviolate
against search and seizure without
a duly executed search warrant, the
better for the service and the courts,
he declared.
The cases involved Evelyn Davis
and Robert Johnson, colored, charged
with being in possession of five gallons
of gin. The evidence showed that two
officers of the third police precinct
armed with a warrant for man
charged with traffic violation, went
to Evelyn Davis home and after en-
tering the house turned the common
warrant authority into the power of
a search warrant, contiscated the gin
and charged the two persons, only
one OF them being present, with
illegal possession of whisky.

Old Horse Tired
Out, Old MAJ, Pulls
Old Wagon Himself

His old horse. was tired out. He
went into the shafts himself to
pull q dilapidated one-animal
wagon to a destination which he
did not mention. He was old him
self. colored and bent with age.
He'd pull the wagon north up the
9Th street grade near D street
northwest, then stop, get his breath
and go on again.
That's why a crowd gathered
near the Police Court. An old coll
ored man was showing the love he
had for his horse by allowing the
animal to walk behind the wagon
while he was in the shafts.
A questioner asked his reason.
He said:
my ole hoss amt as spry as he
uster be. He JUS pulled a power
full load for me and he's tuckered
out. So, I'm pullin' myself. My
hoss unnerstan's me and I unner-
stan him.
And he went on up the street.
Some fool laughed.

Play Practice

The Junior ard Senior class plays
have been chosen, and from now on
until the time they are given there
will be large amount of practicing
to be done. However, we cannot let
play practice Interfere with our
school work. There are just two
more six weeks periods until school
will be over for the year, and it is
important that we keep up our les
sons in order to successfully pass the
six weeks and semester tests.
1t is an honor to be chosen as a
character in these plays, and not on
ly that 1t is valuable training for
us. No one will be forced to take
part in the plays, but everyone
should be willing and anxious to do
SO. This means extra work, and
work that must be done outside of
school hours; but we are all willing
o sacrifice little and work harder

What is This Thingg

OH what are these rigs
With bobbed of wigs;
Lips dewey damp with rouge
Powder tipped their noses.
Dresses thick and dresses thin
And not place to stick a pin.
Veal Outlet, spare rib style
Makes one smile all the while.
Ear rings bright and ear rings dull
Rattle 'gainst an ivory skull.
Like the loose bolts in ship
Shows that something's sure amiss.
Vanity cases round and wide
Like a coffin for a bride.
Lip stick, eyebrow pencil, powder too
Brushed across their faces blue.
What is this thing? Are specimens
rare?
No. They're as thick as the birds
of air.
Is it beauty? TITS not you'll agree.
Name it and take it, but don't
blame me.

said that in both of these games our
team fought hard and played clean.
This is surely something to feel good
over. So let us not feel too badly,
or go to the other extreme of patting
ourselves on the back at every vic
tory; but when we do make mistakes
or lose a fight, let's profit by past
experiences and win the next time.

Hearts are on display this week.
We see them everywhere.
The windows are all decked witt
them
There is not one that is bare.
OF course they're only Valentines
But don't feel i'll at ease
On every one you are sure to find
A message that will please.
Some hearts are being stolen
And some are sold they say
Some are bought at prices high
But more are given away.

And is apt to shoot a dart

Two pairs of Lewis
Fitting skin tight
One pair for underwear
They're sure a funny sight.
They look so bow-legged
So tall and so skinny,
The girls long to call them
A rattle-brained ninny.

Often give the boys a nightmare.

Babies viii Playl

Babies will play, even after they
get to be seniors in high school. The
other noon Voris brought a stout lit
tie switch into the assembly hall,
and during the last period she
switched Fred Tautfest good, because
he was mean to her. Then Fred got
the switch, and made Voris cry be-
cause he wouldn't give it back to
her. OF course he was not brutal
enough to switch her, but he did
tickle her a little. When the two
children grew tired of this amuse-
ment, (as children Will they passed
the time away threatening each other
with sharp pens and inky pencils.
Voris even went as far as to stick
Fred in the back of his sweater, at
which he dabbed a naughty spot of
ink on her finger. Thus they spent
the afternoon, to their own pleasure,
and the amusement of the other pu-
pills.

The Trim to Nampa

On Friday morning the High
School basketball team and about
five rooters boarded the morning
train for Nampa. We certainly were
full of pep and spirits. We kidded
the porters, flirted with women on
the train, who quickly wilted under
our irresistible love making, and
serenaded the conductor with Won
derful vocal chorus, comprising AL
den Norell, Byron Norell, Lambert
Cannon, and Fred McEachern.
When we arrived In Nampa we
went to the Green Back hotel where
we all obtained rooms. Mr.. Rankley
told us to wait for one hour and we
would go to the gym and have work
out. During the time Alden and
Lambert started conversation with
one of the most tempting young la
dies we had ever SEEN Her CONVEX
sation was very thrilling and we OBJ
tanned much pleasure in conversing
with a lady of such an early age
(about 65 years old.
About this time the Honorable
Harry Rankley became visible and
told us that we were ready for the
workout. After the members of the
team worked their muscles into shape
and Lambert had gotten his tongue
into condition telling the gym keep
er all the material he knew about
us, We departed for the city.
That afternoon we all took good
nap and after a good hearty lunch
we were ready for the game.
Well it Is sad, sad story and we
played our best, but no one can beat
a referee and basketball team so we
thought we did very well to score 26
points against Nampa's 81.
After the game we all went back
to the hotel where every one was in
bed by $3.50. The long sleep was in
terrupted by Mr.. Rankley telling the
hotel clerk of the absence of covers.
Finally after the covers were OBJ
tanned we continued rest and got up
that morning at 1880 very full of
spirits and pep.
We all went and had breakfast at
he 0. S. l.. restaurant and after a
strenuous grapple with a beefsteak
We went back to the hotel where we q
played Dominoes, Authors and But ,
on, Button Where is the button?
That afternoon everyone enjoyed Z
rood matinee at the Cats Whiskers
heatre. About $50 we went to
he same restaurant, the o. S. L. and 9,
lad good meal which could be =,
riticized only because of the large :,
of gravel displayed in the :,
lince pie. ~
we then boarded the street car for
leridian and arrived in that city
bout half an hour later. We waited -
round In the spacious hotel lobbyl !,
nd then went to the game where :,
e were defeated again. o
After the game we went back to .
anipa ana enjoyed good nights
EST and the next morning we came
ack to this fair city.
Everyone was glad to get back be- ho
luse we were tired of this small -
'wn stun like Nampa and they =,
