No One Stopped Him.

Says Judge Richards, of Chicago: “I was once a justice in Bosque county, Texas, when a little man was brought in by a constable and two assistants for the offense of carrying two revolvers. I told him he must pay $2 and lose the weapons. At that the little fellow broke down and actually cried. Finally, with the tears streaming down his cheeks, he said: *Oh, Judge, jes’ let me bid ’em good-by. Ma giv’ ’em to me an’ I can’t go without handlin’ them jes’ once.’ I consented, and the moment he got the weapons he straightened up and, leveling them yelled: ‘l’d like tew see the galoot as can get mil’s pistols now. Now I’m agoin’ on my journey.’ Nobody tried to stop him.”
