PETER'S QUESTIONS.
When Peter was ft sturdy lnd
He moved from Orassvale with his dad;
And left behind him Joe and John,
And little Jake and JelTerson;
Knur chums of his by day and night
With whom ho used to play and fight;
Now where Is Joe, and whero is John,
And where is Jake and Jefferson?
Ton years passed by and Pete eame I wick
With these four questions iu his pack:
"Now whoro is Joe, and where is John,
And where is Jake and Jefferson?'
"doe digs his llvln' with his pick;
An' John keeps store down to the 'Crick, '
Jake is away to school I think;
An' Jefferson has took to drink."
And Pete eame back in ten years mors .
With the same questions as before:
Now where is Joe, and where is John,
And where is Jake and JelTerson?'
Joe caught cold diU'hiu' in the rain,
An' we shan't see poor Joe again;
John has got rich an' Jake got wise;
Jeff is a scamp who all despise."
In ten years Peter comes onee more
And asking questions as before:
"Now tell mo where is old friend John,
And where is Jako and Jefferson?"
"Why, John ho died a millionaire;
Jake's gone to Congress, I declare.
An' Jeff, the poor old worthless scamp,
Is notion' but a common tramp." .
And once more ten years later on
Ho asks: "Where's Jake and Jefferson?'
"Hain't heard how Governor Jacob died?
lie was the Suite's especial pride.
An' to his solemn funeral grand
Tho great meu came from all the laud;
But Jeff it's no good to bewail
Why poor old Jeff has gone to jail."
And once more ten years later on.
Does Peter ask for Jefferson :
"Why, hain't y.m heard the story yit?
the pnjierg they was full of it.
It filled the land from side to side,
The way the poor old fellow died
The Jeff who played with you when young.
The worthless, gray -haired Jeff was hung."
Ten years are gone with days that were,
Gone questioner and answerer,
And with his questions comes no more
The gray-haired Peter as before;
And people ask for him no more,
And no one asks his questions four:
"Now where is Joe, and where is John
And where is Jake and Jefferson?'

THE BUSHRANGERS.
After a voyage from Liverpool to Mel
bourne I went up country with an Amer
ican acquaintance named Shaw for a
sort of vacation. I had sailed with Shaw
while ho was Captain of a New Orleans
ship, filling the berth of second mnto to
his satisfaction, and, as I had saved his
life on one occasion, there was a warm
feeling between us. Ho was now the
owner of a big sheep ranch on the Mur
ray Kiver, and I was only too glad to get
run ashore and see something ot
a country noted lor its anomalies. This
was before the days of railroads and
while the penal colony was in full blast
and the bushranger king of the road.
We were five days riding out to Shaw s
ranch, our vehicle being a wagou loaded
with six yokes of bullocks, which were
almost as wild as buffaloes. I heard very
little about the bushrangers until we
reached tlio ranch, and then Shaw gave
mo such accounts of the fellows as made
me hopo I should never be obliged to
form their acquaintance. His immedi
ate district had not been visited for two
or three years, but they had
come in to the north and west
of him and indulged in many
robberies and murders. There were three
Englishmen and twelve natives on the
range, which was an extent of country
nine miles long by live broad. The force
at the headquarters house, after our
arrival, numbered three white men, a
white woman, three natives, two black
women, and four or five black children.
No gang of bushrangers numbering less
than six would dare to attack us, as the
house was well armed and the black
women could lire a musket as well as a
man. Shaw had instructed his help to
adopt a peace policy. In case a bush
ranger applied at any of tho stations tor
food or shelter he was to be accommo
dated, and if they picked oil a sheep oc
cassional!)' no notice was to be tuken
of it. As I said before, he hail not been
disturbed thus far, but while he deluded
himself with the idea that it was an ac
count of the policy pursued, events were
about to occur to prove ttiat the gentle
men of the bush had been waiting their
own convenience.
A bushranger was, in every instance, a
desperate criminal w ho had made his es
cape from prison or the penal settle
incuts. There wasn't one of them who
had not deserved tho gallows before he
fled to the bush. A dozen or more of the
most desperate characters sent to Tasma
nia had escaped and reached the larger
island and m-uetrated to the interior, and
these men were particularly ferocious and
and without mercy. Shuw seemed to rest
easy, however, and so during the first
week of my stay 1 did not bother my
head about the rangers. Indeed a new
comer had cuough to do to get accus
tomed to the snakes, lizards, insects and
other unnoyunees which kept him stirred
up day and night.
On the tenth day of my stay Mr. Shaw
and 1 set out to visit oue of the outlying
stations iu charge of an Englishman named
Thomas. This man was about forty-five
years old, and had deserted from an Eng
lish man-of-war. Ho had three black
men under his charge, and oue of them
had been sent iu the day before with
badly written note to tho effect that
many sheep were being killed, aud that
all signs went to show that a gang of
rangers hud settled down in the neigh
borhood. 'We were mounted on good
horses aud w ell armed as wo rode away,
and after au hour's ride we
drew near tho station, widch consisted of
a stout log hut for the keeper, another for
the blacks, and pens for herding the sheep.
We found the place silent aud apparently
deserted, and leavit.g our horses in u
thicket, we cautiously approached ou foot.
The first iLcvr.y made was that the
blacks had been killed, and we pushed
on to the larger hut to find Thomas with
in half an hour of breathing his Inst. Ho
could speak in whispers, and he told us
that seven bushrangers had appeared the
evening before and committed the ntro-
ities visible on every hand. Although
he had made them welcome and prepared
supper, they had come for a different pur
pose. The blacks, one by one, had lieen
tortured in the most horrible manner, and
when tho last ono was dead they had
turned on Thomas. They had sliced oft
his ears, broken his fingers, cut off the
end of his nose, hacked off his toes, and
tortured him in other ways and had not
left the place until about nn hour before
our arrival. Everything of value which
could be carried off was gono, and a
bloody knife was left sticking in the door
sill as a sort of deft to Shaw and the of
ficers of the law.
There was no Government patrol in
that district at that time, and the only
move we could make was to alarm the
two nearest ranchmen and organize a
pursuit on our own account. By noon
next day wo had ten white men and
about twenty faithful blacks in hand for
a start, nnd the trail was taken up at
the cabin. No one had any great hopes
that we should overtake the rangers,
but it was argued that pursuit must be
made or they would soon terrorize the
whole district. If wo did happen to un
cover them there would be a hot fight.
Every ranger had a price set on his head,
nnd would light to the death, nnd the
ranchmen were men who had faced
death almost daily for years. The white
men were mounted, while tho blacks
were on foot, but they had no trouble iii
keeping np with us. After running
across the grazing lands for about a mile
the trail entered the broken ground
covered with thickets, and at tlio end of
another mile we had to leave our horses
and follow the trail on foot. It was
quite evident that the fellows did not
fear pursuit, for tlicy had gone at a
leisurely pace, and the men best nc
quuinted with the country predicted that
the gang had headed for a rocky ravine
in the midst of ft heavy growth, about
six miles from the cabin. The predic
tion was soon verified, nnd we went
forward with greater caution, hoping the
fellows would bo sound asleep after
their night's carnival. ' They had taken
two gallons of whisky from the cabin,
and the chances were that they would be
stupidly drunk.
When within about two miles of the
ravine we suddenly ran into an ambush
and received a volley. One white mail
was killed and another wounded, nud
one black man was stretched dead.
Shaw was acting as Captain of our troops,
and he ordered us to deploy and advance
iu open order. The rangers were in a
thicket, and we soon drove them out and
killed one. In pressing on after the
others we became more and more sepa
rated, aud after a bit I found myself
alone to the right of the others. I kept
advancing toward the ravine, supposing
the others to be doing the same, and I
had advanced a mile or more beyond tho
point where we had been ambushed when
it suddenly occurred to mc that I was
actiug very rashly in separating myself
by such a distance. I at once bore to
tho left to join forces, but, unknown to
me, all the others had halted half a mile
iu the rear, held a brief council, and then
decided to retreat. I was still bearing
to tho left, and wondering why I did not
discover any of the troop, when the
whole gang of rangers suddenly rose up
from the earth around me, and I was a
prisoner. There were six of the wickedest-looking
villains an honest, man ever
clapped eyes ou. They were roughly
dressed, their hair and whiskers long
and unkempt, aud their clothing was
mostly of sheep skins. I have seen some
hard looking men in my time, but never
anything to compare with this half dozen
who were under the leadership ot tho
notorious Joe Trimble. This man had
been transported for murder, aud during
the two years ho was in the colony ho
killed two guards and led a revolt, lie
escaped from Tasmania by floating out of
the harbor on a plank, being loaded down
with forty pounds of chain at the time,
but whether he was picked up at sea or
driven to Australian coast was not known
to the authorities. He got there some
how, and for two years previous to my
story had been a veritable terror in a dis
tnct 100 miles square.
For a minute ufter the rangers rose up
about me not a word was said. Each
man wns heavily armed, and, though
had a rifle in my hands, it would have
been folly to move.
"Well, whonreyou?" asked the leader,
after we had all taken a good look at
each other.
I gave him all the information asked
for, aud was honest in stating tho mini
her of the party in pursuit. They did
not know that the ranger whom
had seen lying dead had fallen by our
bullets, but supposed he had become
separated from them as they retreated.
When I admitted lus death their rage
kuew no bounds. Hud I been an uu
armed traveler they would doubtless
have taken my life just the same, for this
gang had never been known to spare any
one. But when they knew that 1 was one
of the party, aud was more or less respon
sible for the death of their comrade, they
would have cut me to pieces then am
there had it not occurred to them that
such a death was too merciful for me
And, too, they were not aware of the
fact that Shaw's party bad retreated
After an outburst, lasting three or four
minutes, I was disarmed, my pockets
emptied, my hat appropriated by one
and my jacket by another, and we set off
for the ravine at a dog trot, two of the
men going before and the others follow
ing pftcr me and striking me at every
opportunity.
The ravine was a dark and dismal
spot, reached by a well worn path, wind
mg about aud making a gradual descent
We went down in single file, and when
we finally got to the bottom I found
hut made of brush and liiubs aud rock
with the numerous evidences that the
place had long been occupied as head
quarters. It had now come to be sun
down, and as nothing had been heard
from Shaw s iaru since my
c&nture kiui
outlaws reasoned that they had gjven -up
the pursuit. I got a pretty good look
at the surroundings, nnd, ns near
as I could make out, the path
was tho only way out of the ravine. As
we came down one of the men took
his seat on a rock, with his revolver in
hand, to act as guard, nnd, ns I got no
orders, I sat down on another rock near
tho hut. One of tho men started a hre,
artother cut some meat, and a third went
down a ravine nnd got a can of water at
a spring. While supper was preparing
the leader of the gang took a long pull
at the whisky jug nnd then came over
and stood in front of me nnd indulged in
a tirade of oaths, threats nnd ubuse. He
swore he'd clean out every ranchman in
the district, nnd that he would have
twenty lives for the death of his comrade.
He boasted of the number of his victims
and the amount of his plunder, and ended
up by declaring that I should bo skinned
alive aud my head sent to Shuw ns a re
minder of whnt wns in store for him. I
made no answer, knowing that nnything
I could say would only add to his fury.
I was hopeless. I could not figure out
the slightest chance to escape my impend
ing fate.
A primitive meal was soon ready and
five of the outlaws sut down to devour it,
while tho sixth kept his place on the
rock. At this time I thought I heard a
noise as of distant thunder, aud the air
felt to me as if a storm was brewing. It
had come to be fully dark now, nnd af
ter an interval of three or four minutes
there came a blinding flash of lightning,
followed by a crash of thunder, which
seemed to illuminate nnd shake the whole
island. The men suspended their eating
to look up, and the guard rose to his
feet. There was a minute of perfect si
lence, nnd then there cinie another flash,
followed by n rush up the ravine. A
drove of kangaroos, which must have
numbered 300, dashed right into our
camp, seemingly terrified by the storm,
and as they readied us there was another
flash, a crash, aud I heard the outlaws
shouting. I opened my eyes to sec the
guard lying on the earth and the path
clear, aud guided by the instinct of self
preservation I dashed up the path. Some
of the beasts had gone ahead of me, nud
some behind, each one squealing in
alarm, and I huve no clear recollection of
my trip out of the ravine. It came ou to
rain at a tremendous rate, nnd by and by
I found myself iu tho woods and com
pelled to fall down iu n heap from ex
haustion. 1 believe I was then two miles
from the ravine. The storm lasted for
two or three hours, and after recovering
my breath nnd my wits I crept into a
thicket and remained there until daylight.
Two hours later I had the good fortune
to come out of the woods in sight of tho
ranch where Roberts had been killed,
and before noon I was at Shaw's. Three
days later after a new party was orga
nized and descended to the bushrangers'
hiding place. The fellows had departed
bag and baggage, and none of their kid
ney were seen iu that section again for a
couple.of years. ATeu Yvrt Hun,
Finish It.
When Samuel F. B. Morse, afterwaro.
famous as the inventor of the electric tele
graph, was u young painter studying m
London, he made a drawing from a small
cast of the Farneso Hercules, intending
to offer it to Benjamin West an an exam
ple of his work.
Being anxious tor tno lavoraine opin
ion of his master, he spent a fortnight
upon the drawing, und thought he hud
made it perfect.
When Mr. West saw the drawing, lie
examined it critically, commended it in
this and that particular, then handed it
buck, saying: "Very well, sir, very well.
Go on aud fluish it."
-'But it is finished," said the young ar
tist.
"Oh, no!" said Mr. West; "look
here, aud here, and here." And he put
his finger upon various unfinished places.
Mr. Morse saw tlio delects, now that
they were poiuted out to him, and de
voted another week to remedying them.
Then he carried tho drawing ngaiu to the
master. Mr. West was evidently much
pleased, and lavished praises upon the
work; but at the end he hauded it back,
and said as before : "Very well indued,
sir. Go on and finish it."
"Is it not finished J" asked Mr. Morse,
by this time all but discouraged.
"Not yet; you have not uiurKeu mar,

But the critic was not yet satisfied.
The work was good, "very good indeed,

"I cannot finish it," said Mr. Morse,
iu despair.
"Well," answered Mr. West, "I have
tried you long enough. You have
learned more by this drawing than you
would have accomplished in double the

The Hereditury Principle Illustrated.
The principle of hereditury has received
a most striking illustration iu the rase of
the family and kinsmen of cx-l'resideut
Theodore Dwight Woolscy, of Yale Col
lege. Dr. Woolscy was a desceudent of
James Pierrepout, the famous uuiivu of
Boxbury, who having become dissatisfied
with the liberal tendencies of Harvard
College, induced Elilm Yule to found a
more conservative school at New Haven.
The present President of Yule, Timothy
Dwight, is also a descendant of the same
founder, aud with the history of the
families of Dwight is iuterwoveu that of
Edwards and Pierrepout, who have given
many illustrious names to American his
tory or letters. It is no more coincidence
that both Woolscy and Dwight, nine
teenth century Presidents of Yale, should
both have been greut-great-graudsous of
the priucipul founder of the college; for
the high thinking and plain living of the
early families who were closely associated
with the institution, developing itself
into a
hereditary impetus or ability, was
quite likely to supply the qualities needed
i in future PosiduuLs. Act Yvrk &tnr, ,

Some persons advise scattering small
bits of wet paper over the carpet, to take
up the dust when sweeping. This may
answer well where a broom is used, but if
you use a carpet sweeper, you w ill find
that the paper does not always come off
the carpet readily. It hugs down so
closely that the sweeper slides over it
without being able to take hold of it.
We have found nothing so satisfactory
ns bran and salt well-moistened but not
wet. The bran takes up the dust, and
the salt seems to freshen up the colors in
the carpet. The sweeper wifl take up
every particle of dust without any

MOTHS IN CLOTHING.
More ihau 150 veal's ngo Reaumur, ob
serving t'lat clothing moths never at
tacked the wool and hair of living uni
mr.ls, inferred that the natural odor of
the wool or of the oily matter in it was
distasteful to them, consequently he
rubbed various garments with the wool
of fresh pelts, nnd also wet other gar
ments with the water in which wool had
been washed, and found that they were
never attacked by moths. Experiments
with tobacco smoke and the odors of
spiiitsof turpentine showed that both
were equally destructive, but it was nec
essary to close the rooms very tightly and
keep the fumes very dense iu them for
twenty-four hours to obtain satisfactory
results. Chests of cedar or sprigs of
this tree are so disagreeable to them that
they will not deposit their eggs where
this odor is at all strong; but should the
eggs be laid before the garments are
packed away the odor will not prevent
the hatching of the eggs nor the destruc
tive work of the hirvie afterward.
Clolhi.ig may also be protected from
moths by packing it in stout cotton or
paper bags made perfectly tight, but this
mint be done before the moths appear on
thu wing.
BECIPKS.
Carrots with White Sauce The small,
French carrots, or larger ones sliced, are
delicious if simmered until tender in
salted water, and served in white sauce,
made by adding n spoonful of fiour wet
with cold milk to a cup of boiling milk.
Stir iu a lump of butter, season to taste,
lay in the carrots and let them get hot
through.
Deviled Fish Half a pound of mu
coid, boiled, flaky fish; shred fine. Mix
one tublespoonful of flour with a little
milk und stir it into a gill ot boiliu
milk ; add a descrtspoonful of butter and
remove from the fire. Pour over the tisli;
add also two yokes of hard-boiled eggs
mashed fine, a tablespoon of finely-minced
parslev, and salt nud cayenne pepper to
taste. Fill clean scallop shells with the
mixture, brush over with beaten egg,
cover with crumbs and brown.
Apple Pudding A very nice pudding
is niudo from stale cake aud stewed
apples either fresh or dried. Crumble
the cake and put a thick layer in a but
tercel pudding dish, ndd a layer of stewed
apples and add another ot cake crumbs
For u quart dish of this mixture, beat
the yokes of two eggs aud the white of
oue with a pint of milk and three table
spoonfuls of sugar; pour over the cake
and apples and hake thirty minutes
Draw to the oven door and cover with a
meriugue. made from the white of the
egg beaten with sugar.
Shoulder of Lamb A shoulder of
lamb cooked as follows is u very cheap
and excellent dinner: Have the butcher
cut out the shoulder-blade, aud the first
length aud half the second of the fore
leg, taking care not to mangle the meat.
Stuff with a forcemeat made of bread
crumbs with one boiled and mashed
onion, seasoned with salt, pepper aud
sage. Truss it up something in the shape
of a duck and sew shut. Lay iu a
dripping-pan ou a few sliced vegetables,
pour over a gill of hot w ater, aud bake
twenty minutes to the pound. Garnish
with new, small carrots, onions and new
potatoes; strain and thicken the gruvy,
pour it over all and serve.
Rolled Beefstake Make a dressing of
a cup of fine bread crumbs, au ounce of
minced salt pork, sage, salt und pepper,
and mix well with a tublespoonful of
incited butter. Lay two pounds of round
steak on a board, trim off the fat, und
with a choppiug-knife gush the upper
surface, but do not cut through. Spread
the dressing on this side, roll up like
jelly cake and fasten with skewers. Lay
over a few thin slices of salt pork and
lay in a saucepan a little copped onion
und carrot, cover with a pint of water to
which has been added salt and a little
vinegar. Simmer until very tender,
probably three hours. Lay in a baking
pan, dredge with flower, and brown
quickly. Strain and thicken the gravy
and pour over the meat.
Sweetbreads Farmers frequently kill
their own calves and sell them to a
country butcher, who does lot know the
vulue of sweetbreads, for which a city
customer must pay from forty to seventy

A BIG WESTERN WOLF HUNT
EJCCITINO SPORT OF THli WYOMING
RANCHMEN.
Wolve and Coyotes Driven From
Their Dens by Dynamite Clear
ing the Country of Wild Animal.
A correspondent of the New York
World writing from Cheyenne, says:
Although hunting parties have fre
quently gone out in Wyoming for tho
royal sport of wolf-hunting, yet the idea
of a systematic drive, having for its
scene of operations several hundred
square miles of territory, was a novel one
and attracted widespread attention
among W yoming people.
The rapid settling up of Nebraska has
driven ninny wolves and coyotes across
into Wyoming, i'he repeal of a scalp
bounty law by the last Territorial Legis
lature has removed much of the incentive,
tokilliug the animals and has resulted in
their increase to phenomenally large
numbers. The stockmen have been
heavy losers from this condition of affairs.
Young calves and colts fall easy victims
to a pack of hungry gray wolves or co
votes. Even yearling calves were pulled
lown nnd killed if they strayed away
from the herd of cattle to which they
belonged. Hundreds of dollars have
been lost this season by the cattle and
horse raisers of Southern Wyoming, aud
a big wolf drive was the outcome.
At daylight, from every ranch m the
wolf-iufested region, stockmen, herders
and cowboys, well armed anil mounted
took the field against the wolves. They
were reinforced from Cheyenne by over
three hundred mounted men and boys.
Stockmen and cowboys from other parts
of the county joined the Cheyenne
party and brought horses and dogs toniil
iu the chase. A large number of ladies
attended on horseback and in carriages
to witness the drive.
At 7 o'clock the long line of riders.
under command of ten captains of the
chase, spread out und moved forward.
From the hills near the Organ ranch,
where the extreme right whit of the line
started, the scone was unique and stir
ring. As far eastward as the eye could
reach horsemen were riding to and fro
in the tall grass of the creek bottoms.
Mingling with the cornet culls of tho
captains of the different divisions was
the musical clamor of scores of yelping
and barking dogs of every description,
from the shapely hound to the yellow
cur, who was present to go under horses'
heels and take stray shots into his an
atomy. All the haunts of the wolves und
coyotes were ridden through and beaten.
The occupants usually were scared by the
din of the approaching chae and raced
across tho prairie toward the shelter of
the caves in Chalk Bluffs far in advance
of thu line of hunters. Occasionally a
slinking pair of coyotes or a snarling
gray wolf was run down und a fusilade
of shots from the hunters cut them down
without mercy. Whenever a wolf came
into sight a bunch of riders would nice
after him iu true cowboy style, horses on
a dead run, hats waving uud i very man
yelling iu a style that would scare au
Indian.
A lively incident of the chase was when
the hounds turned a big gray wolf und
brought him at buy near the line of riders.
Afraid to shoot at him for fear of killing
some of the dogs, expert cow boys set out
to rope him. A skillful roper threw his
lariat fairly over lus wolfslup s head. J he
other ropers missed him and the success
ful cowboy had a lively time bringing his
quarry to the death. The brute snapped
uud snarled nud made n savage rush at
his captor. Whirling his horse quickly
to one side and then giving him the
spurs the horseman rode at lull speed
across the prairie, throwing the wolf off
his feet and drugging him to death
across the rough ground. Jack rabbits
and antelope wee raised by the chase,
but were not disturbed, the rules of the
drive us laid nowu by the captain, pro
hibiting the killing of game.
At the different points of rendezvous
along the bluffs ample preparations had
been made for the hunters. 1 endcr year
ling steers had been barbecued and big
kettles of boiling coffee udded an aiiiie
tiziug flavor tempting to the hungry
riders. For a while the hunt partook of
the nature of an immense picnic, and
while thu cow ponies of the ranchers and
and the thoroughbred mounts of the
town sportsmen munched their oats in
common their riders formed picturcsqc
groups under the cottonwoods, and over
their roast beef and codec detailed the
adventures of the morning's drive.
After dinner the real work of the day
commenced. Along the line of bluffs for
their entire length the dens of the wolves
had been marked, nud some of theiu
barricaded with stones to prevent the es
cape of the occupants. From the four
point of redezvous along the valley t he
hunters moved against the cliffs. Fires
were built at the eutrance of the caves.
Green bushes uud sulphur were thrown
in the flames to muke u smoke disagreea
ble enough to the wolves to force them
from their hiding places. A cordon of
men uud boys, tinned with shotguns
rifles uud revolvers, formed around the
cave. i hen tne blinded and bew Hdcrcc
coyotes and wolves broke into view
through the smoke ami flames they
easy victims to the volley of bullets u hieh
greeted them. When fire failed to bring
out the wolves, charges of dynamite uud
giant powder were exploded in the caves
nud the entire front of the dill .-blown
down, burying the animals iu the. ruins,
All afternoon the work ot exteruunatiou
went on, uud was only brought to
close by nightfall. Several huudred
coyotes and gray wolves were kill
along the entile line. Many predicted
accidents from the handling of so many
firearms, und most of the townspeople
who attended ths hunt to4i out twenty
four-hour accident policies. Over $110,
000 was the aggregate unmuut ol insur
ance takk'n out. But one accident oc
curred. A hunting wagon was over
turned ou aside hill und one of the occu
pants hud his unu broken.

A School for Professional Beggars.
At Westminster Police Court, two boys
if thirteen, named Frost nud Oakes, liv
ing w ith their parents, were charged with
begging. The boys alleged that a woman
trained them and other lads as beggars,
nnd that she used to mind their decent
lot lies and supply them with rags to go
out in. Her own boy, it was said, was
the head of the gang of juvenile beggars,
uud used to tuke the money, w hich partly
went to his mother, and part in rclrcsh
meuts and visits to transpontine music
halls. Mrs. Frost said that she had been
to this woman and warned her that if she
heard that her boy's clothes were kept
again she would lock her up for unlawful
possession. This was the advice ol ine
School Board othcer. 1 lie ueicnuanis
adhered to their statements about being
supplied with rags, etc., and the magis
trate said that if it was trim the woman
really ought to be prosecuted. A police
constable said he had seen the woman
and she denied taking care of the boys'
clothes. Only the evidence of the boys
could be obtained. '( -Vif ilitiitte.
