When she en- tered Judge Mogan’'s court yesterday it was like the approach of midnight. She weighed a trifle less than a quar- ter-ton and tripped up the aisle with the airy tread of a young elephant. And her name was Pearl! She admit- ted it. ‘With the grace of a load of coal de- | scending into a chute she settled her | fairy form on three chairs placed by | the bailiff. The backs of the chairs | bent and the mahogany groaned under | the strain. And her name was Pearl! In a corner Petro Marino gazed on this vast expanse of feminine charm, and with admiration. Petro claims that ! Pearl placed her tiger lily hand in his | vest pocket and extracted $1 50' there- | from.

And her name was Pearl!

With a sound like thunder roll- |ing -away over the-Marin hills Pearl settled back into the chairs. Marino de- clared that while he was chatting with this bulk of fascination near the Rue de Hinckley the lady coyly separated him from $1 50. An expression of in- dignation and reproach three yards in area was-on her features as this charge | was made. | “YIl give the lady a chance to bring witnesses on September 26,” said Judge Mogan. “Thank you, your Honnah,” said th accused.” “You're a real ge-man. Everfi cullud pusson on Pacific street knows me. Mah name is Pearl.” “What's in a name?” mused Judge Cabaniss.

The case against the petite Mrs. Mar- tinelli, who fractured a teacup against her husband’s cranium, was dismissed by Judge Cabaniss. The husband de- clined to prosecute. It was brought out that the little woman thought her hus- band intended to strike her. She saw hih first with a teacup. The husband said that she had made a mistake and that he had'made another. For once two wrongs made a right. Everything was patched up except the teacup. “Wha was the court of arbitration?” asked Judge Cabaniss. “My ' mother-in-law,” answered the husband.
