YOU'VE THlEvEs.-Two juveniles whose heads
were scarcely even with the criminal bar, the one
nine and the other ten years of age, were arraign-

While the boys were in the lock- up awaiting trial
they had fight with each other, which resulted In
one of them getting bloody nose. The court sent
the boys to separate institutions provided for the

These habits of thoroughness in the performance
OF his duties have been the sources of Mr. Everets

the incorporating enemy of exaggeration and
over statement. True moderation balanced his
judgment. Nor is the character of his style diff.

poetry, Everett is in eoquence; profound sense is
ever adored and illustrated by the most graceful
