The Morning With
The Recorder
Another ease was a fight between
one Fanny and one Bessie. Fanny's
husband and n drayman were wit
nesses. The drayman was loud and
lucid, ll<> told how Mr. and Mrs.
Fanny were moving. How Resale,
their neighbor, arrived on the scene
crying:
"Don't you go way from here with
my Ironin' boa'd.”
“I beg* yo' pardon," says Fanny
haughtily.
“O, my God," Resale remonstrated,
“de woman done taken my wire!”
"Ida alnt none o' yo' wire, I
brought It here when I come and I'm
gwine to take it wld me. I’ll have
you to know, madam, dat you nor no
body else slnt gwine to Implicate me
sum my own cloth#*-line."
“Anil wld dat," continued the wit
ness," Miss Fanny she kind o’ turn

her." t
The drayman took such extreme
care to make Fanny out the Injured
and Innocent party, that the Judge
said:
"You haven't been pnld for hauling
that load yet, have you?"
Sentence In both casea was suspend
ed to costa.
Then came up John Rsrnes, who for
twenty-five years has been off and
on cook at the Jail. He gets out ev
ery now end then and takes pains to
get drunk and be sent straight back.
But Mr. Plunkett has gone back on
him and won't have him down there
any more.
"Can you rook those 'taters up at the
stockade, John?" asked the Judge.
"V’es sir."
"Well, go up there and cook ’em.
They'll be glad to see you.

night. He went to see his girl early

Mistress Abby became the gracious

out there In the cold! Hhe hurriedly
went and robed herself and waked up
all the boarders. Company! What's
the matter with you, dead? Wake up.
They gathered hospitably In the front
parlor. It was not so late after all.
Beautiful day.
Then Dan wanted a match. They
were In the back room aa everybody
knew. O, let me get you one. No.
let me. But Dan Insisted on going
himself. O, no, no. The room was
In disorder. There was a child with
measles In there. Dan didn't mind,
he had had the measles. Despite all
ruaea and all subterfuge, he must
absolutely get that match himself.
Dismay. And he went and found a
shivering and Ignominious rival In

had he. Whereupon he Immediately
