duct of His Little Boy.

Harry Clark, a little eolored boy nine years
old. was in tho Police Court yesterday after.
noon charged with being an ~ineorrigible
youth. The boy recognized the fact that he
would be better of in the Reform School
than at large and so plead guilty.
What does the boy do that's bad?" asked
the Judge of the youths father.
HE don't do nothing that's good" was the
old mans reply.
Does he steal?'
YES indeed, and he does everything else
that's bad"
Judge Miller discharged the boy from Gus

hoped Congress would soon enlarge the Re
form School or provide another such institu-
ton. so that so many incorrigible boys would
not have TO be discharged.
