Every trace of gentleness fled

“She Hain't got no time fer me,
what wid diggin’ 'n’ eryin’ 'n’ workin’
wid the little kids. She says all she
wants o’ me is to keep out o’ her

A long silence followed Judge
Findley's eyes wide and unseeing, as
troubled thought went on behind the
fixed inner absorption of his glance.
“Eddie, my heart goes out to you,
my poor boy, and I feel that you're
not to blame for much of your wrong-
doing. But you've got to be correct-
ed and helped. If they hadn't got af-
ter me when I was a kid I'd have got
into bigger troubles, troubles they
want to keep you out of, too.”?
Eddie perched on the very edge of
the chair with eyes devouring His
Honor's face, but ears closed to the
pity of the firm voice because of a

dancing in wild gyrations of light
over the ceiling of the great room.
A majority of the lads came armed
with circular mirrors which they
flushed in the sun as well as in the
eyes of the court officials, their nat-
ural prey.
“There's the old Tramway cop, the
fat Phoenix! Give it ’im in the eye!”
The good natured officer blinked in
more senses than one at the dazzling
glare, as with a knowing leer at the
boys he turned out of range.
At Judge Findley’s entrance the
glasses were pocketed by a common
impulse. His brief address to the
boys, couched in a language intelligi-
ble to the most benighted, was fol-
lowed by the taking of reporis and a
partial clearing of the room, as the
first case on the crowded docket was
called. At 2.30 Eddie Collins’ name
was called, bringing forward a white-
headed, weazen-faced, bony child,
with eyes too big for his odd little
phiz.
“Tow-head!” was heard from some
of the waiting boys, as the little fel-
low stepped before the Judge. His
Honor smiled, a genial warmth light-
ing his tired face. as he passed a
hand over his own thinning hair.
“It's better to be tow-headed than
bald-headed any day! Isn't it Ed-
die?”
An old, automatic smile wrinkled
the thin little face, but no humor lit
the solemn eyes — and the Judge
sighed with renewed weariness as he
demanded the charges against the
child. Eddie stood toeing in and out
with an absent minded monotony.
“Drunkenness and frequenting sa-
loons, Your Honor,” answered the
probation officer.
A heavy frown lowered
Judge Findley’s clear, dark eyes,
which despite all, still held some
message of faith and hope for every
little chap who sought it there. :
“Can it be true, Eddie, after all
my talk about this most serious of-
fense?”
The tow-head nodded, while the
downcast, hungry eyes remained
fixed, in vague concentration upon his
shoes, through which bare toes
poked.
“pid your father send you to buy
liquor?” ’
Again the silently bowed head.
“He committed a grave crime, but
was that any reason why you should
drink the whisky evep if you had to
buy it?”
No answer.
“Look at me, boy!”
Eves of dumb pain gazed unwink-
ingly from the stolid, changeless face.
“Aren't vou one of the boys that
promised to help me hold down my
job by playing square, aiter 1 gave
you another chance?”
A mute assent was given.
“Well, I have done my part,
haven't I? Answer me!”
‘Yes, Jedge!”
“But how about you, Ed? Have
you any further claim on my patience
and faith?”
“No, Jedge!”
“You know what this means, Ed-
die?”
“Yes, Jedge’—and a slight quiver
of life stirred the little stoic’s face.
“Have you no excuse, my boy. for
breaking your word and going back
on the man who has been your
friend ?”’
Hope died hard with Judge Find-
ley.
“No, ® less'n”’ — the great eyes
burned in hot scrutiny over the in-
tent, listening faces of the other boys.
‘Bailiff, take those children fur-
ther back. Come close, my boy.”
She of the fur coat was thankful
for keen hearing and nearness to the
judge, as alert, with downcast eyes,
she waited, engulfed in waves of pity
for the boy.

“But, Jedge, please, won't yer

The Judge started, leaning toward
the child as he paused, but Eddie
went white, clutching at the table for
support. Swinging the reeling little
figure into a chair Judge Findley held
water to the boy’s lips. Low-voiced,
gentle words sought to penetrate the
giddy whirl of Eddie's thoughts, but
these alone made an impression:
+ “You need not go hack to your
home, my boy, at the end of the
month if you still feel as you do.
We'll find a better home, little chap!”
The child closed his eyes and ncver
knew that his head rested against
Judge Findley’s arm or that the po-
tent power of a patient, virile tender-
ness upbore his stumbling little life,
never to be withdrawn while great
heart or clever brain throbbed with-
in this man who remembered his own
boyhood.
Then the world cleared and stead-
ied as something hot and beefy was
forced down upon him by a tender,
womanly hand. He dimly heard the
next case called and wondered
dreamily why the ‘“Jedge” sat with
eves covered by his hand.
“We’ll be going, Eddie. Can you
walk to the car, dear boy?’ asked
Mrs. Bright, of the Detention Home,
bending over her new charge with
motherly tenderness.
“Sure!” with plucky cheer.
She held him so tight under one
arm while leading him past His
Honor that the boy looked up with a
feeble attempt at ‘“‘joshin’.”’
“On the square, ma'am, I won't
work no bluff an’ give ye the slip!”
He thought the whirling must be
returning as he cast a look of fare-
well at Judge Findley, for the blurred
smile in the shadowed eves of His
Honor was not the clear one he knew.

Wealth in Stolen Ties.
J. C. Betancue, the Southern Pa-
cific detective, has been tie hunting
for the company for several weeks
and has located some 5000 Southern
Pacific ties on ranches and at mines,
some of them forty miles from the
Southern Pacific right of way. He

of Deming, where they had been car-
ried by floods. An untreated tie costs

Lady Ticket Clerks a s'ailure.
For vears past experiments have

One Woman's Belt.
There is a ,Jyoman in New York
who is distinguished by the belt she
wears. It is perhaps the most re-
markable conceit in New York, con-
sisting of sixteen gold medals, each
of which represents a first prize in
an athletic contest won by the wear-
er’s fiance, the two medals forming
the clasp standing for national
championships. The making of this
belt was a formidable task for the
jeweler who got it up, owing to the
fact that the fastening together of
the sixteen medals had to be done
with unusual care, since the liberal
use of enamel made the business of
brazing the gold eyelets for the con-
necting links a laborious process.
The medal winner is a member of
the New York Athletic Club.
Purple For Widows in Rewedding.
When widows are wedded hence-
forth, says that stern arbiter, Fash-
ion, they must carry purple flowers.
It’s a pity, for really, some widows
looked delightfully bridelike as they
marched up the aisle, bearing white
bouquets. Florists say almost all
the widows, fascinating or other-
wise, who will be married this fall
white orchids, though a few purple
or heliotrope flowers will be inter-
mingled. These are much smaller
than ordinary bouquets. The getting
! of a touch of originality to mark the
conventional wedding costume has
become the endeavor of every bride-
to-be. So the purple bouquet may
come to be used by all altar-goers,
not alone by those who are treading
that path for the second time.—New
York Press.
Etiquette of Introductions.
On at at-home day, when many
| are present, a hostess is not required
to make introductions between her
guests unless she wishes to do so,
but when the callers number but one
or two only it is incumbent upon her
| to introduce them to each other.
At a large luncheon party the
numbers regulate whether or no gen-
eral introductions are to be made.
It is not possible to introduce all in
a given time, and therefore only two
or three of the principal people pres-
ent are introduced, says Woman's
Life.
At a small luncheon party, on the
contrary, to introduce all the guests
to each other is the received rule,
and this is done immediately on ar-
rival if possible—formally or infor-
mally, directly or indirectly, as the
hostess may prefer, but still an in-
troduction of some kind is made.
Helen of Troy Wore a Boa.
Alfred Emerson, archaeologist and
assistant director of the Art Insti-
tute, enlightened the Dressmakers’
Convention in Chicago by a lecture
on ancient modes, illustrated by
draping fabrics upon living models.
He smoothed the way by the, pre-
liminary announcement that any
archaeologist worthy the name
would turn his back upon any ca-
thedral to see a pretty woman go by.
Commenting upon a reproduction
of the garments worn by Helen of
Troy, he explained that what appears
to be a snake around her throat was
in reality a snake hoa, much af-
fected at the present time, and said
that Helen was thus apparelled when
she eloped with Paris. Mrs. E. Cor-
nelia Claflin said that society women
by following extreme fashions in
lacing and long skirts, were indirect-
ly the cause of ruining the health of
thousands of shop girls, who felt
they must follow the fashion whether
their work permits or not.
Fine Girl; Fine Pig.
Miss Ethel Neal, daughter of a
farmer of Robertson County, Ken-
tucky, thinks she would make a
good wife for some thrifty young
fellow, as witness the following:
About fifteen months ago Wm.
Anderson, a neighbor of the Neal
family, needed an extra laborer in
his tobacco field. Neighbor farmers
in Kentucky assist each other when
the “ox is in the diteh,” Biblically
speaking, so Anderson asked Miss
Neal if she would assist him to set
his tobacco crop while the drought
was broken. Miss Neal answered in
the affirmative, and for one long, hot
| day she almost broke her back set-
| ting tobacco plants.
When Anderson asked what she
charged for the day's work she took
a small sow pig that was running
about the vard and carried it home

sold seven shoats, the produce of the
pig, for nearly $100. The seven
shoats averaged 256 pounds in
weight. In the fifteen months that
the ‘“‘tobacco pig” has been owned
by Miss Neal she has sold nearly
$200 worth of pigs. All this is the
result of one day’s labor in a hot
Kentucky tobacco field. — Washing-

Women Who Should Be Pretty.
Do you know that it is the habits
and not the flight of years that take
the expression. of youth from the
eyes, the look of freshness from the
skin, the lightness of grace from the
step? Too many women who are
pretty in girlhood become positively
ugly in middle age. Those who are
shapeless with fat and have muddy
complexions are often thus unlovely
because of laziness and self-indulg-
ence. They eat the rich and sweet
things which make flesh and do not
take sufficient exercise. The odd
thing about it is that while women
deplore the loss of beauty no persua-
sion will meke themadoptthe Spartan
methods which will bring at least
some of it back, says Woman's Life.
/s for the thin, nervous women who
have lost the delicate, round, pink
and white outlines of-youth in sal-
lowness and scragginess, they are no
more amenable to reason and com-
mon sense. A daily hath in tepid
water, plenty of nourishing food ju
diciousiy chosen, and a resolute
avoidance of the twin fiends, hurry
and worry, mean a new rosiness in
the cheek, a softer contour in the
gure, a new enjoyment of life.
Own Name in Marriage License.
When Miss Emma Dills, seventeen
vears old, of Asheville, N. C., an-
nounced to her father that she had
become engaged he told her she was
too young to marry and that he
would not give his consent. As Reg-
istrar of Deeds he refused her a
license to be married in Jackson
County, and notified all the regis-
trars in the neighboring counties not
to issue such a paper to his daugh-
ter.
Migs Dills made no attempt to
evade the parental edict, and the
matter had almost been forgotten
whene recently it became necessary
for Mr. Dills to leave the county.
As was his usual custom, he left his
daughter in charge of his office.
In case anybody should apply for
a license to marry during his ab-
sence Mr. Dills signed his name to
several blank licenses, instructing
the girl to fill them out as needed.
The young woman followed her
father's instructions to the letter,
filling out the blanks with her own
name and that of her fiance. Then
they were married.
Mr. Dills was forced to forgive his
daughter and make the best of the
situation, for he could not enter suit
against himself for issuing a license
to a minor without her parent's con-
sent, his.own name being signed to
the license.
Cynic's Rules of Conduct.
Some directions that are more
easily remembered than the usual
examples are given from a recent
volume, “The Cynic’s Rules of Con-
duet.”
“When in the street with a lady a
gentleman should not light a cigar-
ette unless the lady does.
“When you step on a lady’s toes
make some off-hand remarks about
her feet being too small to be seen.
This is older than the cave-dwellers,
but it still works.
“Don't forget to tell her (hat
she's not like other girls. It always
works. whether you spring it on the
belle of the village, the girl with a
hare lip, or the bearded lady at the
circus.
“If you use the same solitaire for
the second engagement, don’t refer
to it as killing two birds with one
stone.
“At week end bridge parties no
really nice girl will cheat on the
Sabbath day.
“Don’t marry for money, but nev-
er let money stand between a girl
and her happiness.
“It is not good form to congratu-
late a girl friend upon her engage-
ment. Simply remark: ‘So you land-
ed him at ast.” ”
Another batch of the same rules
is taken from the department given
up to society events.
“The chief duty of the best man is
to prevent the groom from escaping
before the ceremony.
“Remember, too, that perhaps you
are not the sort of husband that
father used to make. ,
“In taking soup try not to give
others the impression that the
plumbing is out of order.
“On returning from the altar be
careful not to step on the bride's
train. There's trouble enough
ahead without that.
_ “At afternoon funerals wear a
frock coat and top hat. Should the
funeral be your own the hat may be
dispensed with.

It has dawned upon a Boston paper
that whistling has gone or is going
out of fashion, and it laments the fact.

The annual report of Robert C.
Bair, chief of the bureau of industrial
statistics, for the year 1805, was
made public. The report shows the
past year was a leading one in a
wonderful period of business activity
and stability and was remarkably
free from strikes and lockouts. Mr.
Bair’s report shows a wonderful
growth in the manufactorles of the
state in the past 10 years. The re-
port states that under the influence
of liberal laws industrial corporations
and individual firms of Pennsylvania
have been encouraged and have in-
creased in numbers, magnitude and

In a collision between street cars
at the foot of the East Main street

traveling salesman of Latrobe, and
Harry Johnson, a negro, of Brown-

low the knees, and George Roden,
Samuel Griffin and C. L. Crider were
cut and bruised. The three men
whose legs were cut off were in the
rear end of the front car. When the
two cars came together thfough the
failure of the brakes of one of them
to work, they were wedged in and
rendered helpless.

master must be a man of grave be-

pipe is now omnipresent, former sul-

fenders were punished by having their
pipes thrust into their noses, while
in Russia a rayal edict ordered the
noses of the smokers to be cut off.

tired horse with a big load. Every
additional effort he makes under the
lash increases his loss of power to
move the load.

off heavy, greasy, indigestible food
and take on Grape Nuts—light, easily
di-ested, full of strength for nerves
and brain, in every grain of it.
There's no waste of time nor energy
when Grape-Nuts is the food.
“I am an enthusiastic user of
Grape-Nuts and consider it an ideal
food,” writes a Maine man:

all run down and my food seemed to
do me but little good. From read-
