A Righteous Judge.
Judge—You say the prisoner threw you out of the door. Had you provoked him?
Plaintiff—Not at all. He advertised an unusually fine bargain sale of laces, and I went in and asked him for the lowest figure on a pair of shoe laces.
Judge—Prisoner is discharged. Mr. Clerk, swear out a warrant against plaintiff and have him arrested for criminal assault.
—Harper's Bazar.
