Steppin up close to the railin where votes is put in, Miss YOOMANS thus to me did say: "Square GREEN, wee've come to cast the soffrige of a down-trodden race: Will you receive our votes?" "Not exzactly I wont, my hi toned Greshun benders," was my reply.

"Say," growled Hogan, Judge Bender's private attendant, who was the first to run the gantlet, "those Chinks are enough to give you the Willies!

Even dignified Judge Bender himself as he stalked along the hall, preceded by two police officers, was not immune from a slight feeling of uncanniness, and he instinctively drew his robe round his legs that it might not come into contact with those curious slippers with felt soles that protruded across the marble slabs.

" "Well, make sure none of 'em is armed," ordered Judge Bender.

When Judge Bender entered the court room it was, in spite of his injunction, full of blue blouses.

Be that as it may, he was not prepossessing in his appearance and Mr. Tutt assured Judge Bender that far from being what the district attorney pretended, the man was a well-known gambler, who made his living largely by blackmail.

Gentlemen!" groaned Judge Bender.

" Judge Bender, O'Brien and Mr. Tutt gazed at one another helplessly.

"No, sir!" "I don't see what we can do except to adjourn court until you can procure the necessary poultry," announced Judge Bender.

Accordingly, at that hour Judge Bender convened Part IX of the General Sessions in the court room and then adjourned downstairs, where all the prospective witnesses for the prosecution were lined up in a body and told to raise their right hands.

"This farce has gone far enough!" declared Judge Bender disgustedly.

"Quite so!" ruled Judge Bender sternly.

The overtures of the new emperor were rejected with scorn; and, as might be expected from this combination of bigotry and rashness, the imperial troops under General Bender marched quietly to the conquest of the whole country; town after town opening their gates, while Vander Noot and his partisans betook themselves to rapid and disgraceful flight.

Now, in using this type of anecdote, the Hooker's- Benders must not be thought to design an attack upon the decencies of life; on the contrary, they are relying on the fact that their hearers have, in the depths of their beings, a profound reverence for the object of their sallies.

You see, Andy, it's on an unusually big bender right now, which makes it doubly hard to fight it.

They was all hell-benders who had ridden the range alone and had their share of fights and killings, which there wasn't one of 'em that wouldn't have been good enough to go leader in any other crew, but they had to knuckle under to old Piotto.

There are still "busters," as in our young days, and the ardent youth upon floating cakes of ice "run bendolas" or "kittly-benders," or simply "benders."
