It might also be added farther that “Pete” is not only a prime favorite with Judge ‘Broyles, -but with &Il ‘of the police court attaches. Pete is “the court f1y.” And through the medtum of Pete's characteristic ‘fiy affection for the courtroom and its attaches, Judge Broyles insists that he has disproved the time honored theory that flies are short-lived. As “Pete” latily lounged on the judge’s left ear at the close of police court, he remarked—the judge did: “All of this talk about flies living but a short time is all bosh. ‘Pete’ here has punetured that theory. 'Pete’ + 'LAND, FLA., JUNBE 26, 1913. ights on Judge’s Nose has been right here in the courtroom with us all winter, and he doesn't appear any nearer his end today than he did at the beginning of last fall, when 1 first began to notice him. He's a bit lazier, I believe, but that's all. “l don’t know how old he is now, but he looks as though he would live to a ripe old age.’ Recorder Pro Tem. Preston sug: gested that Pete’s age might be de- termined if the recorder would‘make an examination and ascertain if Pete had whiskers, and, if co, their color. Judge Broyles, however, promptly as- sured Judge Preston he was satisfied a fly's age would not show in its whiskers. Pete lived in the warmth of the po- lice courtroom throughout the .win- ter. It any other files were {here they kept well within cracks and other places. Pete alone venture forth, It was this daring of a lone fly that first attracted the recorder’s no- tice, and he began to watch and study it. He called the attention of other court attaches to the fly, and then they all watched it. When Judge Broyles would ascend the bench for the morning or after noon sessions, the affectionate fly was right on the job, taking its place on the judge's desk or on the judge's head. It also became very friendly with Judge Preston, frequently repos- ing on his nose—as It did also with Court Investigator Ed Arthur and Court Officer George Cornett. When Judge Broyles became con- vinced that this daily fly visitor was one and the same fly, he christened it. Pities Bachelors; Establishes a Mending Bureau LEVELAND, O.—A motherly little woman has taken pity on the but- tonless, undarned and proverbially “holey,” helpless bachelors of Cleve- land. She has established a Bache- lor's Mending Bureau. Bachelors, because they are com- monly supposed to be in need of the kind of aid which she Is prepared to give, and married men whose wives are away, or who like to shop and “gad” better than sew, are eligible for assistance from this seamstress extraordinary. The woman is Mrs. E. T. Benson, formerly of New York, where she es- tablished a reputation for ‘“bachelor mending.” She has “patched” and darned for come of the best known bachelors in the East. There is one condition that she insists on in taking ! mending of unmarried men to do. That is a guarantee from them that if they marry they will not flaunt her mend- ing in the faces of their wives and speak regretfully of “the way Mrs. Benson darned “Why get married?” inquired .u young “blade” who had just had a rent | in his trousers (the extra pair, not those he was wearing) mended so that no one conld see where his girl's father's bulldog had embraced him. HICAGO.- Women resident of fash- fonable Windsor Purk on the | south side began a unique battle the | other day. It is a battlie of Garlic vs. Cologne. And because the women from a few days' experience, fear gar- lic 18 going to win, they organized to have the odoriferous enemy removed from their midst by outside means. | Several days ago the antiquated cars of the South Deering line were transferred to the Windsor Park- South Chicago line. The South Deer- ing line, because of garlic eaters who comprise most of its patronage, long ago won the sobriquet of “the gar lic line.” Persons not stepped in garlic, it s There {8 really no longer excuse for any bachelor having a hole In his otherwise lovely silk sox. To be one button short in any portion of one’s wearing apparel with Mrs. Benson in the city, is nothing short of the un- pardonable sin, while to have one's shirt cuff frayed, or a rip in one's new Bulgarian tie, are inexcusable | social erimes. | "I have always been something of [an expert with the needle and decided to turn my experience to good advan- | tage,” said Mrs, Benson., “1 think I | have devised some new ways and !means for mending and darning so [ that the repair is actually invigible execept with a microscope “1 know young men, particularly bachelors, are -particular and that some of them do not like the jdea of having anything mended.” Cologne Is Annihilated i n a Garlic Car Battle of a South Deering car by another sense than that of sight. Wags living along the line like to say: *1 smell a car coming.” When these cars were put on the Windsor Park line and the cars of the { latter line sent to the garlic line, there arose a howl of protest in Windsor | Park. Business men who reside there { vowed that their wives and daughters should not be compelled to ride all the way to the Sixty-third street "L statfon in the “garlic cars.” The other night a meeting of pro- test was held and Miss Jane Hin- man, prominent in social uplift work; Mrs. John C. Couners and Mrs. Frank Edwards were appointed a commit- tee to see President Busby of the south-side liner and enter a protest. Meantime, the women are trying to counteract the smell of garlic by the profuse use of cologne. Experience has not given them encouragement. “It's no use,” said one of them. "Delicately scented eau de cologne en- ters the battle terribly handicapped. Our only chance would be to buy declared, are apprised of the approach some of that loud-smelling stuft.” High School Student’s ““Ponies” Kick Up a Real Riot HILADELPHIA, Pa.—A miniature riot was caused at the Central | high school here the other day when hundreds of negro boys appeared in answer to the following advertisement | which had been Inserted in several | papers: “Wanted—Colored boy to care for pony; good wages. Apply Professors Language Department, Central high school.” ! The school had hardly opened luf morning session before the pavements were crowded with colored boys of all sizes, and at least a score of fistic combats ensued during the rush to the | main doorway. The professors and the student body added to the excite- ment by attempting to repel the in- | vasion without success. | The boys fought their way to mel language department, and after the ! noise bad been partially subdued the shocked professors were compelled to | read the “ad” from a dozen papers | thrust dawned on the Instructors in anclent | languages that the work was that of fome mischievous students who had plotted to ruffie the dignity of the pro- at them Then it suddenly tessors after their conflscation of “ponies,” or translations, used in the Latin classes.
