Co. in U. 8, Why Judges Grow Gray “HES just a big playful boy, Your Honor. It’s a case of too much rum and bad companions, As a matter of fact, he tells me that he never dreamed such a light blow would break the old man’s head.” * *. * “My client had no idea that there was moonshine being made in his garage. True, he had noticed the ninety-six-dollar gas bill, but he thought the man to whom he rented the place was reading there late at night.” * * “This man admits he’s a burglar, Your Honor, but I think he’s entitled to his freedom. He saw the officer at the door and, having a loaded gun, could easily have shot him. But he proved himself a gentleman and when he jumped out the window another officer seized him.” ** # “True, Your Honor, the respond- ent's husband found her behind locked doors with another man at three o'clock in the morning, but I don’t think that tends to show mis- conduct. They were slightly intox- icated, you see, and were going out to supper. The other man had fol- lowed her in there to assist her with her coat.” * *. * “We admit guilt, Your Honor, but I want to plead for mitigation of sentence. This boy—he's only twenty-nine—w ould never have passed all these worthless checks if he hadn't been one of a gang. I don’t think he should be made to take the blame for what another man planned.” Edward FitzGerald. In the Never-Never Land NCE upon a time Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Sutton were traveling to a Certain City in the Pullman Car, “Fort Snelling Heights.” As neither Mr. nor Mrs. Sutton had ever visited this Certain City, Mr. Sutton stepped out to the vestibule and returned with the Hotel Red Book. After scanning its pages for a short while, Mr. Sutton turned to Mrs. Sutton and said, “The Hotel Mammoth advertises large double rooms with bath, circulating ice water, and ser- vidor service (whatever that may be) for five dollars up.” So upon reach- ing this Certain City, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton registered at the Hotel Mam- moth, where a very nice room clerk assigned them to a large double room with bath, circulating ice water, and servidor service, and charged them exactly five dollars.
