I never was foolish enough to accept a job like that before, but last year at tbe same place there were two corrupt judges. One could see no beauty in any of tbe kidlets save the red beaded ones, and the other looked only at the mothers. It is needless to say that those two judges were Jeff Myers and Governor Geer.
