Not Fallen So Low as That.

An English magazine, in an article on
restaurants, tells of a New York specu-
lator who came to grief and went to
work as waiter in a cheap eating-house
in that city. To this walters table
came broken-down, seedy-looking in-
dividual Of an aristocratic, Fifth avenue,
brown stono front type, sneaking in
with every sign of being very much
ashamed Of himself. When the waiter
arrived to take his order there was
mutual recognition, and the newcomer
murmured: ''Great Scott, Thompson!
you here?" The attendant showed no
sympathy at all, but, drawing himsolt
up haughtily, drily replied: eyes, Jones,
/ wait here, but don't dine here"

do not believe that the supervision
OF the police prevents men from re-
forming. 1 don't believe that the police
over interfere with a man who is try-
ing to lead an honest life. I am on
posed to the idea of locking habitu,A
criminals up for life. One reason I
have for my opposition is that 1 con.
slder 1T extreme and unnecessary cruel
ty to tho criminal and then, on the
other hand, if there was a general law
which permitted or ordered the locking
up for life of such who were adiudged
professional criminals" the liberty of
man would hang by very slender
thread and much evil might result.
What would constitute professional
criminal? That question might we'll
puzzle authorities. Anyhow it would
DO hard, If. after the vilest criminal was
returning, he should be chased back to
his evil ways by the conscrvators of
public morality. The law gives fair
chance for reform now. I would not
like to see that taken away The re-
formation of men who have become
habitual criminals is almost too hope
less task to view seriously. But good
work may be done by the authorities in
stopping the supply, and this is mat
ter where a great knowledge of human
nature is necessary to form right iudg-
ments. Judges can not be too careful
in dealing with first offenders.

kind for girls. When a young girl is
brought up for trial the court is there.

offender believes that her youth and
sex have saved hor and will continue to

unlawful acts, and if she is sent to the

be held captive by the notorious Dr."
