They Locked Him Up.
Miss Fola La Follette, apropos of
the late clothing strike, in which she
took an active Interest, said at a tea
in New York:
“Such kind conduct as you mention
in your argument would be aberration,
or almost aberration, on the operator’s
part. It makes me think of a lunacy
story. x
“A commissioner in lunacy had
called a woman to the stand.
" ‘And now,’ said the commission's
attorney to her, 'what is your ground 1
for claiming that the prisoner is in
sane?’
v “The woman gulped, wiped her eyes,
and answered:
‘"Well, gentlemen, he took me to
the theater twice in one week. Each
time we went in a taxicab, we had
supper each time after the perform
ance, and each time he bought me
chocolates and flowers. He didn’t j
once go out to see a man between the ;
acts, either.’ .
“ ‘But, madam,’ said a commissioner, I
‘surely these actions do not prove in
sanity on the prisoner’s part.’
“ ‘But you forget, sir,’ said the lady,
with a sad smile, ‘you forget that the
prisoner is my husband.’ ”
