His Simple Excuse.

The Judge—The court Is Informed that you haven’t worked for years. The Culprit—lt ia true, judge. The Judge—You have neglected your family, at the same time instating that your wife and eons should support you. The Culprit—True again, judge. The Judge—Well'what’s your explanation? The Culprit—lt’s very simple, your honor, I agree with Dr. Woods Hutchinson that four hours* work a dly is enough for any man—and by not working now I’m trying to undo the mischief I did so many years by working overtime.
