When sober she's a good wife and mother.” “We can fix that right here,” said his Honor Cabaniss, “provided the lady prefers voluntary abstinence in freedom to enforced sobriety in prison. If it is true, as she states, that the drink habit has not hopeless- ly enslaved her, she can file no rea- sonable objection to making oath that she will abjure the use of intoxicants for a given period.” | Mrs. McKinnon promptly accepted the semi-challenge and Clerk Barney | | Conlan was instructed to administer the oath.

Then the Judge, by way of compro- mise, suggested that the term be re- duced to six months, but the sugges- tion was waved aside with a derisive | hand. ! “Don't you think,” she asked, “that if I worried through three months without taking a drink I would be | pretty well weaned?” | So three months was the period | agreed on, and the lady qualified her acquiescence by informing the court | that she wouldn't swear off for one minute if she hadn’t become tired of | the proceedings. . demanded . . “Don't ‘urt me character, yer wa- shup,” sald Henry Mathieson, steward of the British ship Linton, when Judge Mogan asked him what he meant by displaying a large revolver in a Bar- | bary Coast dance-hall and thus creat- | ing great agitation among the femi- nine habitues thereof. ‘“Wot I means by that 'ere remark, sir,” he continued, “is that I 'ates t’ be jugged, 'cause I never ’'ave bin scragged—in fac’, this ‘ere is my first happearance before a beak.

Manager Ed Ackerman of the Call- fornia Theater told Judge Conlan that the newspaper photographer who was battered by Comedian Charles Dox of | “The Runaways” company had ob- | tained his (Mr. A.’s) permission to go | behind the scenes and investigate the | reported attempted suicide of Miss Daisy Dale, soubrette. Prior to the photographer’s arrival, Mr. Ackerman added, a physician had examined Miss Dale and declared her swoon was not | genuine. “What’s that?” inquired the Judge. “The doctor said she was shamming,” replied the 3 ““Ho, ho!"” quaqth the Judge, “that on the case, and I | puts a new as; | must continue it for further investiga- | i | i temper and did indulge in fisticuffs with several feminine habitues of an O'Farrell street music-hall. But her act was not unprovoked, Miss Stanley added, as she had been “joshed” and “picked on” by the other ladies until a saint on earth could not have forbore doing what she did. Her husband, an actor, was employed in the music-hall, she explained, and for reasons which she did not consider it necessary to state, but which probably were obvi- ous, she deemed it proper to awalt his dismissal for the night and accompany him home. She was thus engaged, and saying nothing to anybody, when sev- eral women at an adjoining table be- gan discussing her wifely devotion, which they ascribed to jealousy on her part, and their remarks were appar- ently intended for her hearing.

She had known Miss Dolbeer intimately for several years, and was with her in Paris the few weeks preceding her death in New York. The witness swore that Miss Dolbeer was at all times in normal frame of mind and free of the suspicion of melancholia. ! While the testatrix participated in the many diversions offered by the gay city, she complained that she was not enjoying herself as much as she had expected, for the reason that she had no gentleman friend to escort her to all the places she would like to visit.

It was 6 o' th’ clock when Kittie, | fatigued but fearless, tripped into her boudoir, and John at once proceeded to fulfill his threat of slat loosening.
