Frequently there comes to my
ars the complaint, by some lady
rtdicted to hobbles that rude
len turn to observe her exposed
alves when she steps into a car
r busr^y.
The corrplnininxr lady always
lakes a fine show of indignation
-or so the matter is always reited
to me?but I never fail to
tugh at the joke.
What joke? ycu ask. Why.
'ooden-head, the pretended in- j
ignation of the lady.
When a was puts on a hobble
kirts. doesn't she know that it*
rill expose her to the stares of
he multitude every time she
ikes a step up?
Of course she knows it.
Then why does she persist in j
rearing su<jh a skirt?
There is only one answer to
hat question. Horatio. Sheconinues
to wear 'em because she
mnts the public to examine her '
alves occasionally.
You think otherwise? Ther
ou are stupid. If the dear
hings didn't want to show thomelvcs
they would wear different ;
lothes.
If a man stepped on the street j
very few minutes nod pulled i
is trousers above his ki e? s, ?
r?uld he have any oiher ?: jee< i
han showing tin- shape ot a j
?g? Assuredly n<*( unl< ss } j
ras endeavoring to break irto
he asylum for the feebleminded.
No, there's no room for argulent
on this matter. When a
roman dresses so as to necessi^
a. _ r -
4ie irequeni exposure of the I
?gs, she knows exactly what |
he is doing. She may pretend
3 be offended when men stare, ut,
dear heart, she would be
eally and truly offended if men
id not stare.
But, at that, there isn't much
xposed that is worthy a second
lance. A well lurned ankle is
\ a rare thing. Either the deign
is that of a slat, from the
nkle-bone to the knee cap, or
Ise the ankle is swoolen to
llydesdale proportions and looks
tove-up.
There ought to be a law to
rohibit showing deformities and
ddities in public anyway? Foun- j

Got By With 500 Gallons. |
W. T. Yarboroutfh. who was I
rreeled at Columbus, Ga., a ievv I
ays a*ro. chared with violation ||
f the State law, when he ar- I
ived there witii 500 gallons of B
'hiskey enroute from St. Louis P
) Habana, Cuba, was promptly B
cquitted in the Columbus city I
aurt. b
After a hearing in the federal E
ircuit court in Birmingham, ;p
'here he was also arrested, Yar- I
orough had been allowed to pro- sed
under a recent supreme
aurt decision which held that!l
ersons transporting liquor may j E
nly be dealt with at their desti- :fl
ation. At his trial in Colum-1K
us it was contended that Yar-il
i "*
urougn naa removed part of the j |g
intents of one bottle and in- E
;nded to sell it. After his ac- B
uittal his liquor was ordered 1
iturned to him and ne said he k
ould continue on his way to R
uba, where he says he is to i 1
pen a saloon. S
Yarborough was transporting B
is liquor in the drawing to-m k
f a sleeping car and was taken I
rom the train as he crossed the I
eorgia line. 8
