: . Said the Traffic Cop 4 , , . f "Yes, of course it's all a nuisance. Traffic rules are pests, I know; I'd bo glad, if I were captain, Just to wink and let you go. But I'm not Tra just a hireling With my weary rounds to trudge. It's all right with me but, brother Better go and see the judge." "How's that, madam? Ain't it awful? You just drove your car, downtown. Then dropped in to buy a bonnet And a simple little gown? In the store just twenty minutes? Ain't time awful in its flight? See the judge tomorrow morning; Nice young fellow he's all right." "Oh, your watch stopped? Ain't that madd'ning? Mine stopped, too, the other day. Nearly made me late to rollcall; ' Guess I'll give the thing away. Toil the judge just how it happened; Judge is nice he'll understand, Tell him you were three hours over Blame it on the minute hand.' "Wife forgot to telephone you Where she'd parked the car? well, say, Ain't that like forgetful women? Don't they do things just that way? Well, let's see, how can we fix it? Say. I'll tell you what to do ' See the judge tomorrow morning; He won't do a thing to you." William Herscheli in Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash.
