It will be a cold day—much colder ;than it was Tuesday, which was not tropical by any means—when anyone will be able to put a proposition be- fore Deputy Judge James N. 'Pucker in the town court that he will not be able to cope with efficiently. They— meaning those who frequent court either in an official or curious' capacity —theught the judge was going to be stuck yesterday - moriing, however; but they have another guess coming, for the judge exhibited another view of his many-sided versatility and turned the laugh on the wouldbe laughers, Frederick Schultz, Hartford a deaf mute, was taken to the police station Monday - night and was about to be presented before the court at Tues- day morning’s session on a charge of vagrancy when the information that the prisoner could neither hear nor talk was circulated through the court Toom—to the accompaniment of smiles. It was going to be a really funny session, so the onlookers had it figured out. In came Prisoner Schultz. Up went the judge’s hands, his fingers wrig- gling out with surprising rapidity the symbols of the sign language. Schultz’s face lighted with interest and appre- ciation and he flashed back a few wriggles on his own account. He had found a man who could talk in his “tongue” and it was not many minutes before the court and the prisoner were on easy ‘speaking” terms. In’ the meantime the jaws of the spectators dropped until their chins were in dan- ger of being stepped on. No one in the court room had previous knowl- edge that the judge was a master of the sign language and the fact that such is the case proved a surprise. Schultz teld Judge Tucker, in his ‘way of telling, that he was a printer, eleven weeks without work. “I may leok disreputable now,” he made known to the court, “but I am not a vagrant.” Schultz further explained that he was en route from Worcester to Providence where he has secured werk, when he was locked. up here. He had spent his last quarter for food Monday night and was without funds. Schultz didn’t get a jail sentence. Instead he was given 65 cents by the court officials, the price of his fare to Providence by trolley, and allowed to g0 on the next car . Schultz promised to send the money back at the first opportunity, declaring himself to Dbe an homest man, and there was every indication that he is. After court Judge Tueker laughed a littie over the joke that it was ex- pected would be on him. He explain- ed that he learned the sign language many years , picking up the fun- damentals while he was a boy in school and acquiring accuracy and speed with practice. FIREMEN’S BALL.

This is what you should do to sheda bad complexion: Spread evenly over the face, covering every inech of skin, & thin layer of ordinary mercolized wax. Let this stay on over night, washing it off next morning. Repeat dally until {our complexion is as clear, soft and eautiful as a young girl’s. This result is Inevitable, no matter how soiled or withered the complexion. The wax lit- erally absorbs the fiimy surface skin, exposing the lovely young skin be- neath. The process is entirely harm- less, so little of the old skin coming off at a time. Mercolized wax 1s ob- tainable at eny drug store; one ounce usually suffices. It's a veritable won- der-worker for rough, chapped, redden- ed, blotchy, pimpled, freckied or sallow skin. Pure powdered saxolite is excellemt for a wrinkled skin. An ounce of It dissolved in a half pint witch” hagel makes a refreshing wash-lotion. This renders the skin quite firm and smooth; indeed, the very first application erages the finer lines; the deeper ones scon follow. g s ¢ ¢ g ¢ < ¢ ? 1 tiuk 1t ts e best wuman'® o A D & Vo' AA D, AAA
