Excerpt from My Police Court Friends With the Colours Our George took his jacket and waistcoat off last night when I was cold, and made me put them on. That was my introduction to George. The doctor expressed his Opinion of the parents, and thanked me for certain arrangements I was pro posing to make for the lads' immediate well being, then went to his numerous other duties. George remained looking anxiously upon his brother as though he feared matters were worse than the medical man would admit. Suddenly he broke down completely, and con fessed the cause of his brother's illness. I have witnessed not a few pathetic scenes in my time; I have stood in many pictures well worth paint ing; but I can recall few to match with this.
