Feared Complications "Tell it to Sweeney" has been a slang phrase for more years than most men can remember, and one of the court officers on Saturday told it to Swcney In a way which greatly surprised Sweney and has caused him a great deal of good natured "kidding." Harry G. Sweney, a law student in the office of Isaac Johnson, had occasion to go into the court room on Saturday just as court adjourned for the day.

It happened that the last desertion and non-support case on the list for the day was one brought by a Chester woman against her husband. It seemed from the evidence then; was very little real trouble between the man and'xvife and Judge Johnson continued the jjise for a week under the belief that the parties would be able to straighten out the tangle. Sweney appeared just as the courr adjourned and the court officer, mistaking him for the husband, took him by the arm, led him to one side and advised him, with the kindest intentions, to take the woman home and live with her. Sweney believed that this would only complicate matters and declined with thanks. the Blaek Horse Is rapidly nearing completion.
