AN AMERICAN IN TROUBLE IN BURMAH-
AN american officer, Colonel Wyndham. has
COON by the Mandalay authorities for an al
legged assault upon the Italian Consul at that
place. he was, it Is stated By RangOon
paper, sentenced by the Burmese Court to be
paraded like a common felOn through the
streets and to be beaten at every crossroad or
street corner. As this sentence, If carried into
execution, would have led to the death of the
prisoner, the British resident thought it proper
to Interfere, and, accordingly. gave notice that
he would not allow European to be ex-
posed to such ill usage. The remonstrance
seems to have had the effect of preventing the
sentence being carried out In the meantime
however, Colonel Wyndham. il not yet re-
leased, must be in an unpleasant position, for
his place OF confinement is represented as
being filthy" abominable hole, where
criminals are confined;' and he is indebted,
it is said, for his food TO the kindness of one
or Two OF the European residents. one of
whom is an Italian gentleman. Englishmen
living IN handaay are exposed TO all the risks
and mconveniences of being regarded as Bur
mese subjects unless they take The precaution

claim the protection of the resident. Under
any circumstances it is unsafe to punch the

All the old women for blocks up and

and keep IL. He fought everything and
everybody, harassed cats and abused
dogs. and various attempts have been
made during the last year to get him
settled in the sReform school. The
"wust boy" has made new departure.
and though II may not be lasting. as it
IL for the better. II will probably furnish
opportunity for some other boy to step
in and claim the unenviable title.
"The wust boy" cared nothing for
the sight OF Grape on the knob, and
a funeral procession was as good as
parade TO him. Surprise was therefore
manifest on every sountsnance when he
softly knocked at the door the o'her
week and said {:
"Ihain't got no good clothes to so to
the fnneral, but I'd like to see the Old
lady's face agin afore she's covered up
In the ground"

hood had passed away. 80 far ~ the

with the children, and axed me In to
dinner, and more'n once she's took up
fur me and said the neighbors didn I
give me a fair show"
They let him in to see her dead lace.
half expecting to see some ehoslly triek
ON his part and never dreaming that he
would lean over and kiss the cold cheek.
and that tears would come to his eyes.

"Up stairs. poor things" -.
"It's going to DO tuif on ON. isn't

"Yes; they will see hard times poor
dariings."
"There's leetle bit OF feller 'mong
'em what's mt a Pete" continued the
"wust boy" "what'll it cost week
to pay his wayl"
The women smiled at the idea. but
seeing how earnest Jim WAS, one OF the
women replied:
"Oh. about fifty cents. Iguess.
The boy went out without word. and
In the course OF half an hour another
lad handed in piece OF wrapping paper
in which was inclossd silver quarter.
On the paper was scrawled the words
