BLIND EYE KEEPS
 MAN OUT OF JAIL
Physical Handicap Saves jacun.
 ski, Guilty of Selling Liquor

On condition that he sell his store within . reasonable period of time, Joseph Jacunski. aged s7. of ss orange street, who has the sight of only ,one eye and is the father of three dependent children. had a 60 day jail sentence suspended by Judge Henry F. Roche in police court today. The police were in- structed to report to the court whether or not Jacunski changes his occupation, and if he persists in engaging in the sale Of liquor. he will be required to serve the sen tence. A fine of S160 and costs on each of two counts was also im- posed, the suspended jail sentence being the penalty for being sec. ond offender. as the court records show that Jacunski was convicted and fined on November 29, 1927, for violating the liquor law.
 Represented by Judge w. F. Mangan. Jacunski pleaded guilty to two counts and Sergeant P. J. O'Mara testified that he and Ser geant Flynn found several bottles of alleged liquor in-the storo at II Orange street Saturday evening, after taking a small bottle of alec. hol and water out of Jacunski's pocket. The store has been watched and men have been seen going in and out, Sergeant O'Mara said. Off- cer Milewski. who patrols the beat at night. received complaints and a woman was in court to testify against the place. the sergeant said. In reply to Judge Mangan's ques- tion as to whether or not the store is a real bad place." Sergeant O'Mara said it was not the worst in the ncighborhood but it is not well stocked, and there was no question that liquor was sold there.
 While watching Saturday evening. Sergeant O'Mara and Sergeant Flynn saw Jacunsk come out and after looking up and down the street, go into a hallway near the entrance to the store. When he came out, Sergeant Flynn took the small bottle away from him. Other bottles were found in a search of the premises
 Judge Mangan asked Judge Roche to suspend the jail sentence because of Jacunski's afiliction and his children. He has learned his lesson, Judge Mangan said. and he is willing to get out of business and earn a living in a lawful manner. He had hoped to make a success of the store when he opened 1t but conditions worked against him and he took to selling liquor. Prosecut- ing Attorney Woods said he would not object to a suspended jail sen- tence under4he circumstances.
 Man and Wife second Offenders
 John Skiba, aged Ii. and his wife. Mrs. Evelyn or Eva Skiba, aged 35, of 4G3 Stanley street. pleaded not guilty 10 the charge of violation of the liquor law. and on request Of Attorney Charles r. CoElon Of Plainville, the cases were continued until Thursday. in $500 bonds. Ac- cording 10 the police. both have been convicted of the charge before.
 Sergeants Mara and Flynn and Officer Dolan made the arrests late Saturday afternoon. They had war rnts to search the store, tenement

BEDTIME STORIES 81 = r"essss" sssss,,

| Farmer Browns Boy still sat there or
the old stump It was very nice down
| there, for it was a beautiful morning
and he didn't feel like moving on. Long
ago he had learned that the way tC
see things out of doors is not to &c
looking for them, but to let them come
to him. More Is to be seen sitting still
than ever will be seen by moving about
So Farmer Browns Boy was sitting still
in the hope that he would see some
thing more of interest.
Sure enough, he did. Those keen eyes
of his saw movement some distance
back. At least. he thought he saw some
thing move, but when hc looked again
there vase nothing to be seen. However
he kept his eyes fixed in that direction
and presently he saw it again. Shadow
the WeaSeli" he exclaimed under his
breath. Now. I wonder what that
scamp is doing down here"
Shadow was running with his nose
TO the ground. He ran this way. he ran
that way, he ran the other way. He
twisted and turned and ran from side
to side, all the time with his nose to
the ground.
Hes following the tracks of some
body" thought Farmer Browns Boy.
Now, wonder who can have been
along here recently enough to have left
fresh scent. Shadow is following that
as If 1t were perfectly fresh" He was
approaching the stump where Farmer
Browns Boy was sitting. and then 1t
came to Farmer Browns Boy. Yes, sir,
like a flash it came to him. ITS those
Woodcock he is afterl" exclaimed
Farmer Browns Boy, and he sprang to
his feet.
The instant he moved Shadow the
Weasel jumped back, but faced him.
showing his teeth and splitting like an
angry cat. 1t really was funny to think
of such little fellow as Shadow fear
lessly facing such a great giant as
Farmer Browns Boy. But Farmer
Browns Boy didn't stop to think of
that He looked for stick or stone
to throw at Shadow, but none was
handy, so he rushed at Shadow, kicking
at him. He might as we'll have tried
to kick a really truly shadow. Shadow
the Weasel merely lodged, then he ran
around Farmer Browns Boy and con-
tinued his hunt
There was just one thing for Farmer
Browns Boy to do. and he did it. He
knew Just where the Woodcock family
were. He went racing through the
swamp, making as much noise as he
could, so as to make them fly, and
presently he heard them go into the
air, one after another Then for some
time afterward he tramped around
frightening the Woodcock two or three
times. There" said he at last, 81 don't
believe Shadow will get one Of them
this day."

remain just where they were So she
had remained with them But now
these young Woodcock could look out
for themselves to certain extent, so
Mrs Longbill didn't feel the necessity of
being quite so trustful as she had been
with the eggs.
Farmer Browns Boy was learning a
lot about Woodcock and their ways.
You know, Farmer Browns Boy is a
very good observer. This day he was
seated on an old stump. from which
he could see quite distance between
the trees The Woodcock family had
been feeding very near him. He had
had lot of fun watching the young
Wodcock get their first lessons in bor-
ing after worms. At first, they had not
had long bills like their parents. but
they had grown very fast and their bills
had grown with them. so that by now
they had begun to look a good deal
like their parents. They had fed along
until finally they had disappeared
among the trees

Farmer Browns Boy Interferes.

Farmer Browns Boy was down in the
swamp looking for the family of Long
bill the Woofcock. You see. he was
doing his best TO keep track as long as
possible Of the young Woodcock. So
every day, when he got a. chance. he
went to look for them. BY this time
Mrs. Longbill had come to understand
that he meant them no harm. So she
paid him very little attention But she
no longer permitted the familiarity
which she had permitted when she was
sitting on the eggs.
You see, Mrs. Longhill had known,
just as well as you or would have
known, that the eggs could not possibly
take care of themselves. They couldn't
