When Assistant District Attorney Frank B. Wickersham was a lad he always got his with a pear switch. This developed this morning in June juvenile sessions during a brief com parison of reminiscent notes recalled by the appearance of Edward Bell, colored, aged 12. Edward was one of thirty odd small defendants who were heard during the day. Edward was charged with staying out too late o' nights, sleeping in a market wagon and stealing a bicycle. He admitted to the theft. He declared he remained out because he feared he'd get a lickin'. Edward's memory became more vivid as he talked; he blubbered. As he talked his tears flowed the more freely. To a question of Judge McCarrell ne admitted that he had been whipped with a strap. "What kind of a strap?" "Oh, a regular strap!" Pennsy Has Way to Lop 10 Per Cent Off the Office Payroll Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, June 19.—As a direct result of the decrease in freight ton nage and passenger traffic and in line with the policy of retrenchment In augurated last winter, the Pennsyl vania Railroad has evolved a new scheme of saving whereby It is expect ed that 10 per cent, will be lopped off the total payroll of the office depart ments here. I Instead of laying off a certain num ber of office employes during the sum mer, as has been done in previous years, the management decided to di vide the force of each department into squads and to lay off the mem bers of each group in turn for three or four days each month. The plan has caused little dissatisfaction among the employes, as all agree that losing three days' pay a month is bet ter than being laid off altogether. Every employe losing one-tenth of his month's salary makes a 10 per cent, cut In the total pay-roll, and as the scheme has gone into effect all over the system, the saving will be big. About 600 clerks in the account ing, purchasing, auditing and allied departments in Broad Street Station land other offices here will be affected. "Well," mused Judge McCarrell, "a little strap oil now and then isn't bad for a boy." "You're right, Your Honor," inter posed Mr. Wickersham. "I've tried it myself—" "Ever had it tries upon you?" in quired the court. Then the discussion was on. "No," said the assistant district at torney, "as I remember it, I always got mine with a pear switch. A switch cut from a pear tree in the yard." "Mine was always dealt with a birch switch," offered the court. "That's better than a pear switch. It's—ah—■ heavier and more staple—" "One can get a good stout switch ing from a pear switch, though. Your honor," defended Mr. Wickersham. "Um—well, it may depend on the tree." "Of course," admitted Mr. Wicker sham, "I think the question of con vience entered into the case. The pear tree stood just outside the kitchen door—close at hand." Two Eggs Burn and Hundreds Rush to Scene An old-fashioned spring lock, a hot stove, a pan full of eggs and one Are company made up a one-act comedy at the homo of Joslah Whisler, 1502 Wal nut fftreet, last evening.
