County jail for threo months Decem

Since then numerous efforts have
heen made to get him out. A'ester

In the Nantito homo that tears start
ed from the judge's eyes. The wife
i was dying, said the lawyer, .as he
• showed a doctor's certificate to thiyt
effect. A daughter, 14. was a victim
of a mysterious malady, he pursued,
nnd wound up with a picture of the
numerous little children weeping and
crying for bread.

The judge ordered Nuntito released.
Came then federal prohibition
agents and informed the judge that

ditions in the Nuntito home were
not so bad. •
"I'll soon settle this," quoth the
judge, putting on his brown cordu
walking cap and striding to an
elevator. )
lie leaped Into his faithful flivver,
standing at the curb just outside thy
building, and soon was humping mer
rily toward the Nanlito home.
He found the newly-freed Sum in
the. bosom of his family, and bis fam
ily by no means In the poverty
stricken conditions pictured so pa
thetically by the lawyer.
Itark to Jail.
"I’nt sorry, Sam. but I have been
misinformed about your family,”
said the judge. "Now, I'm not going
to take you away from them for
Christmas- But, you'll have to go
hark to jail and serve the rest of
your sentence January 2."
“Alla right, judge, alia right; if
you say so," murmured Sam.
And the judge bade tlie family
good-bye, jumped into bis Henry
unit was soon buck in his oflice.
He called up the attorney. The at
torney said he thought the dire con
dilions which he had pictured really
existed. lie said his law partner had
brought back the report from the
Nanfilo home.
There the affair rests.

NEBRASKA Clothing Co—always the leader in value giving—has won
overwhelming public confidence because it has always adhered to
the policy of the greatest value for the smallest possible price and the

that would be unobtainable later and priced every dollar’s worth of
clothing at the lowest margain ever known in retail selling.
