If cyclone should pass through and
devastate a section of the country, the
people would throng out 10 the scene

would not prOye the taste OF the people
for withercd branches and waste places.
So the curiosity often manifested TO see
the wlthered lives Of men and women
does not always prove vicious tastes lu
the curious. Sadie Griffin was gazed
at, Yesterday, by many curious eyes,
just because her depth of depiav.ty was
exceedingly low. 1t cost her $500 10
get out OF the tolls, but her steps wiil
continue to "take hold on hell" Just
the same.
The case of little Johnny Meyers viii
illustrates the beneticent feature OF the
law under which statue Agent Hol-
comb holds ms Office, and also ile
wisdom and large-hesrtedness of the
man. Judge Holmes is not IN posi-
ton, nor IS another Judge, 20
give to every judgment the
tempering of mercy II might receive. II
IS doubtless recognition Of TINS fact
that created the office OF State agent,
whose duty il Is TO look into al crcum-
stances surrounding the cases of youth
under Is years of age, and report the
same TO the Judge Of the court. Little
Johnny Meyers was one Of a group OF
seven or ten boys who have been led
astray 10y the cup'dity of our nature.
Through a strange concurrence OF
events upon winch bore the TECHNICAL
ties OF the law. ont oi All these morally
guilty ones, little johnny was the only
one whom ,he iaw held guilty. The
duty oil Judge Holmes, Is the repre-
sentative OF justice, was % pass sen
tcnce, aid tlo boy was condemned 10
pay more than hs father could ralso,
or 20 70 Jah. The scene which followed
the sentence was most affecting. The
judge had done nothing more nor less
tnan hls duty. Then came the media
ton OF Judge HOicomb. IL ls bcaut-
ful feature OI our criminal 1urlsDru
donce, and might well be extended %
older persons quite as unpr0t .cted
rs children. JSdge Holmes ls.ened
to the considerations presented 10y
Judge UOlcomb, and the result was
such a oommluglinE Of mercy anu Jus
tice As all humanity would approve.
- wise a law rs ours, administered un-
der tho matured judgments OF two such
men rs Holmes and holcOmb, Is doubt
less an illustration Of that which is the
very best u our criminal jurisprudence.
