Food for the Judicial Intellect

London, Ky.—Should fathers of girls have their rocking chairs strong enough to hold two people? That was the question involved in a $6 suit here. A father sued a young man for that sum for wrecking a rocking chair when the girl sat on her beau’s lap. The father recovered damages in the magistrate’s office, but Judge Luker reversed the decision, holding the chair was not . as strong as it should have been.
