OUR FUNNY LAWS

ANOTHER queer twist in the criminal
n code, dug up by the district attorneys
office this week, might be cited as addl-
tional corroboration of the Wickersham
commissions plea for law reform IN the
United States.
The particular case in this instance
involved a man charged with possession
of brass knuckles This constitutes a
felony under the California law, and as
such is punishable by sentence in state
prison.
Possession of such weapons, while
highly undesirable. could hardly be
classed as a major crime. 1t was not
the wish of the district attorneys office
to send a man to prison for such an Of
Tense That he should be given some
punishment was not to be disputed.
1t was then discovered that under the
statutes, possession of brass knuckles
with intent to assault another, is mis-
demeanor, punishable by a Jail sentence.
The accused agreed to plead guilty to
this charge and received jail sentence.
In other words, having pair of brass
knuckles in your trousers pocket, is
heinous offense, but if you have them
with the intention TO bash in your neigh
bor's face, it is not so bad.
Our modern trend has placed very
cheap valuation on human life. This is
to be expected from the lawless element,
but we did not believe that the law it.

human person.

If you have catarrh, catarrhal

Sprays, salves and inhalers may
bring you temporary relief, but per-

umbrella that is hanging on your
wrist" said Bunty. The cloth of
the loose umbrella hangs down like
lot of little bags and we can
tuck the marshmallows in around
the ribs
"A very good idea" said Uncle
Wiggily. 1T will be better to put
the marshmallows in the umbrella
than into my pocket, for the cam
dies are very sticky
So Mr.. Longears bought marsh
mallows for Baby Bunty, putting
them in the umbrella folds, and
he carried the umbrella on his
wrist.
All of a sudden, as the rabbit
gentleman and the orphan bunny
were walking through the woods,
and Baby Bunty was thinking how
good the marshmalloWs would taste
when she reached home. out from
behind a bush jumped the Wolf.
"Ah hai" cried the Wolf. Il am
in luck today. I have caught Uncle
Wiggily and also Baby Bunty! And
neither of them can do anything
to me- for their paws are full.
Ha! Ha! I'll have them to my
self"
Uncle Wiggily did not know what
to do, and Baby Bunty was think
ing OF running to get the Police
Dog when, all of q sudden, it be-
gan to snow. Now the Wolf didn't
like snow as it tickled his nose
So as soon as he saw the white
flakes falling he grabbed Uncle
Wiggily's umbrella off the wrist of
the rabbit gentleman and raised
it in the air. The umbrella will
keep the snow off mel" howled tho
Wolf. But, no sooner had he
opened the umbrella than out or
it fell the big, white chunks of
marshmallow candy, showering all
over the Wolf.
What's this? What's this?' he
howled Il hoist the umbrella to
keep off little snowflaEes and big
ger flakes fall from inside the UNI
brella This must be some of Uncle
Wiggily's magic" Then the Wolf
dropped the umbrella and ran
away. And Uncle Wiggily held the
umbrella over himself and Bunty
TO keep off the snoWflakes. Then
he hoped to the store to buy more
marshmalloW candies and all was
well.
And if the ink bottle will stop
