BY FRANK HARVEY MILLER.
A Bad Way To Do.
“Order in court,” called out the high
sheriff of the Police Court yesterday as
Judge Feagin took his seat and the clerk
scraped the dust off his pen and scratched
his head preparatory to scratching the
docket.
“Is the tout ensemble assembled?” asked
the judge.
“They are all together,” said the sheriff.
“Then proceed with the grand entry,”
said the judge. “Afterwards we will have
the so-called roll call.**
The prisoners were then marched In two
by two.
“That procession reminds me of the
circus song, judge,” said a lawyer. “ 'The
animals came in two by two, the elephant
and the kangaroo.’ I don’t see any ele
phants, though there are some that re
semble kangaroos.”
“The elephants are on my hands,” said
the judge. “You don’t see them, but they
are there.” , r
“Judge,” said an officer, "one of the
witnesses, a conductor on the Kansas
City, wants to go away.'1
“So do I,” said the judge. “Ask him
to wait awhile and may be I’ll go with
him. I’m the only thing about the court
that don’t go, as a rule.”
“If that's a rule of cob'rt,” said the
clerk, “your honor might change it.”
"I can’t change It,” said the judge.
“That's why I can't get a change myself.
Even small change would be a relief.”
"I think we will have some large change
---- —
today." said the clerk. casting an expe
rienced eye over the crowd of prisoners.
"They look like they are good for some
thing."
"A good for nothing crowd ought to be
good for something," said the judge.
"I think they are good for a hundred
at least," said the sheriff. "I would be
willing to underwrite them for that
amount."
"Do you understand what you are do
ing w’hen you undertake to underwrite
them?" asked the judge, "you might un
derestimate them.”
"If your honor prefers. I will stand
from under qnd let you write them up,"
said the sheriff.
"I think that w'ouid he better," said the
judge, "you call them down and I'll write
them up. Tall the pleas of guilty, if you
I please."
John Williams thereupon came forward
and announced a willingness to plead
guilty to assault and battery on Mary
CJoodby.
"What did you hit her with?" Inquired
the Judge.
"Jest er little piece oh gravel, Jedge,"
said the defendant.
"In the shape of a rock?" asked the
judge.
"lilt war er brick, jedge." said Mary,
who came forward at this Juncture with
her head bound up In several yards of
cloth.
"I’ll put $15 on you.” said the judge to
John. "You ought not to do that way.
Some other way would he better for both
you and Mary. Who else wants to plead
guilty?"
Muddy Hutchinson then came forward
and said he was excused of disorderly
conduct, but that there were aggravating
circumstance*. He then handed the Judge
a note, which read as follows: "To all
whom It may concern and Judge Feagln-.
“This boy Is employed by us and seems
to be a very good sort of a nigger. We
hope your honor will like his assortment
and let him off easy. Good nlggerB Is glt
tlng powerful scarce.”
"Jedge,” said the defendant, with a hap
py smile, "I reckon dere’s a witness agin
me, but he kin go now as I'se gwlne
ter plead guilty.”
"The witness can go,” said the judge.
"Muddy,” he continued, addressing the
defendant, "as you are so good I am sure
you will be happy. You already have a
happy smile. 1 will add to your happiness
a fine of 15. Pay this to the clerk and he
will give you a receipt for the money. You
might In exchange leave us a receipt for
being good."
A Pigeon Roost Quartette.
“Look at 6194, your honor," said the
clerk.
"What for.?”. . asked the Judge. "Is
there ft puzzle In-that combination?”
“It’s kind of -a combination puzzle,"
said the clerk; "That Is the Pigeon Roost
Quartette—Laura Hillman. Lizzie Ivory,
Theodore Smith and Will Hillman. They
are up here for disorderly conduct.”
"They are up against It, then,” said
the Judge. "Line up, prisoners, and be
sworn,” he continued.
This movement was executed with the
usual Police Court rapidity.
"Now, Laura," continued the Judge,
take the head of the class. Lizzie, you
sit next, then Theodore, and Will, you go
foot. If you will. Now let the first wit
ness take the stand)”
"Jedge," said the first witness, "I dun
no ’bout Will fightin’ his wife. All I
knows Is dat Jte war slttln’ In my house
an' Tlieodo’ cum erlong an’ sa d, ‘why
didn’t de dam rascal ax him erbout It.’
Den dey got ter runnin’ arter one ernud
der. an’ Theodo' snapped er pistol at him
free times, but it wouldn't fire, an’ when
I seen It wouldn't fire I took it erway."
"The pistol was fire-proof, I suppose,"
said the Judge.
"Yes, salt."
"And If It had fired you would have
sent for the fire department to take It
away?” said the Judge.
"Dere war no fire In de departments,”
said the witness; “dat war why !t
.‘■-napped.”
"Were Theodore and Will snapping at
each other ns well as the pistol?” asked
the Judge.
"Dey war all snappln’ at one anudder,"
said the witness.
"Laura and Lizzie look as meek as tur
tie dtAos," said the judge. “Would you
have one believe they snapped at each
other like snapping turtles?"
•Dey war cartalnly anappln', and It
warn't no soft snap, neider,” said the
witness/ “Dey war all In de fracas.”
"Where is the pistol?" asked the Judge.
"I taken It from Theodo an' de pertiee
tooken It from me. Dey takes eberyflng
In sight, judge," said the witness.

BRINGS FREEDOM
Haley, Term., February 2, I9°°>
I have been suffering from female diseases for four years. At times I have
to go to bed. I have had several doctors but none of them did me any
good. My menses have not been right for years and they get worse every
year. My friends advise me to take Wine of Cardui and Tnedford’s Black
Draught. I will tell you of my troubles and ask you to write me whether or not
I should take Wine of Cardui. I have pains all over me. I have no appetite to
eat. At times it hurts me to stand on my feet. I have spells in which I nearly
smother. My stomach and bowels are in bad shape and it hurts me to lie on
my side. I have catarrh in my head so bad, my head nearly kills me some
times. What can you do for me ? Mrs. DELIA PEARSON.
The future seemed about hopeless when Mrs- Pearson wrote
this letter. Four years had been full of pain for her. Doctors
had failed. Just think of the agony of such years of menstrual
suffering 1 This good woman knew she was gradually growing
weaker. She could not eat. It was painful at times to lie down.
The awful menstrual trouble was sapping away her life. The
pain grew sharper and > continued longer each month, and each
month she grew less able to bear it. What was she to do? A
friend answered that for Mrs. Pearson by advising her to take Wine of Cardui. Mrs. Pearson can never fully repay that friend.
WINE-CAKDUI
Haley, Tenn., June 17>v 190O.
I have used five bottles of Wine of Cardui and five packages of Thedford’s Black-Draught, and I feel like a new woman. My husband and npy friends
say I look better than I have in some time. I wrote you in February about your medicine, and I have been taking it ever since. I am doing all my work
with ease, and am resting well at night and sleeping like a child. My menses come on regularly now for the first time in three years. I have', no more
smothering spells and no more headache, and I am feeling better in every way. When I wrote you last February I was not able to sit up. I began -mending
as soon as I commenced taking your medicine and have been improving ever since. Your medicines have done me more good than all the Moctors*
medicines. f _________________________ DELIA PEA.RSON.

How can any woman who suffers as Mrs. Pearson suffered read this statement without recognizing that Wine of Carduf will
cure her own ills in the same way. Wine of Cardui has brought relief to more than 1,00(1,000 women during its history of nearly
100 years. It i^ not an untried experiment. A million healthy women are examples of the health-giving power of the Wine, ilt is
a simple, harmffess vegetable medicine, that always does one thing—regulating the menstrual flow and strengthening the weakened
and diseased female organs. That is what you need if you suffer like Mrs. Pearson. If you are in distress as she was, the way to
health is open to you—go to your druggist and buy a $1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui. Don't accept substitutes* These wonfren
were cured by Wine of Cardui. F°rj*d'rie»
