ANY BAD BOY WOULD DO.
So Ike Rodencich Thought, and Took
a Neighbor Into Court.

Ike Rodencich of 427 Ann avenue, Kansas City, Kas., was cited before the juvenile court yesterday and was instructed to bring with him his two sons, Joseph and Mathew. It appears from the complaints filed with Judge Van B. Prather, who presides over the juvenile court, that Mr. Rodencich's boys have been causing much trouble in the neighborhood. When Mr. Rodencich appeared with two boys he was asked if they were his sons, Joe and Mat.

"No, sir," he replied, "this is my boy, Mat, but this other lad belongs to one of my neighbors."

"You were instructed to bring both of your boys here," said Judge Prather.

"Oh, I misunderstood you. I thought you said bring the two boys, and this kid right here has been into as much devilment as either one of my boys."

The hearing was postponed until Mr. Rodencich could produce his other son.
