JUDGE HANLEY QUITS IN FAVOR OF WILLIE PLATT.

Sid Smith, cartoonist par excellence, who dials cast aside Old Doc Yack and Yiutch in favor of Andrew and Ninnie Gump, has lost an ardent admirer in Judge Hanley, who sits on the Newton-Jasper bench. His Hefner no- longer could remain . true to Sidney when the latter threw ; over Doe and Yultch, his prime favorites. The judge thought so 'much of Doe and his 348 that he ' bought a car resembling that of l Mr. Yack’s and had the same number, “348,” suspended on the rear axle that «he might be taken for the eminent practitioner. But the judge, angered by Sidney’s infelicity, tore away the number plate and did away with the old distinguihsing marks of a Yack car. But Willie Platt, express agent, has taken the judge’s place and Sid still has a representative in Rensselaer. Willie has purchased a “disease” which scoots over the ground in a typical Doc Yack fashion. It is low, it is ffittle; it has the same chug and consumes the same amount of gasoline; it has punctures the same as Old Doc Yack’s antagonizer; its horn has the same clarion call and soon the figures 3-4-B.will be dangling beneath the pretty little structure. Mr. Platt is as fully a competent representative as His Honor.
