wolf snak ed at the bullet "ith his -long jaws and the bullet went

Down among the. clay hills of Ilissouri, years and years ago,
a homely spinster had a liver, years and years ago. 3ut his interest

he young defense attorney was questioning her in the matter but
Wu. s embarrassed a bit and was fumbling badly. The .old judge broke in;
"madam, what he is driving at is this. Vhen this defendant, as you

prevent the alleged rape”?. ..nd the old gal replied: "Judge, I guess
maybe I shud of resisted him , but it .seemed so goof nh jes csuldn’t”.

that v/e just can’t resist it.
