" 'When my baby scalded his arm
and it went to blood poison and the
doctor said it could not be saved, I
prayed to God to keep my baby from
being a cripple, and God answered
me then, because that arm is well to
day, but now it seems as if He has
forgotten us.

said the man who told me the story

THE AMERICAN UNWRITTEN LAW
IN BOILED-DOWN FORM
By Joe Themans.
Dora was the belle of the village,
admired by all the boys in Olemba
town, much to the disgust of John
Carr, who really thought to have a
first mortgage on her. Womanlike
she readily responded to every inno
cent flirtation, no matter how hard
you tried to monopolize her affec
tions. Every Saturday night they
went to Happy Jack's Inn to indulge
in all the-pleasures of the latest dance
craze, tango, hesitation, etc. On ar
riving there they were met by "Dull
Pete," the son of the village black
smith, a close rival of John. Pete
made some sarcastic remarks, to
which neither paid any attention,
owing to his intoxicated condition.
After the first dance, Dora went to
the garden to cool off a little and in
order to get there, had to pass the
barroom, where Pete tried to em
brace her, to the delight of all pres
ent. Dora, stQl trembling and amid
tears, told John what had happened.
It took John but 30 minutes to run
home, get his gun and be arrested
for the murder of "Dull Pete."
Verdict of coroner's jury: "Ac
quitted." Act justified. Ta-ra-ra,
my country this of thee
