Dime novels Did 1t.

A story comes to from New
ark, New Jersey, that Harry
Jordan, a fourteen year old, lad,
started out some days ago to be
a pirate bold. He armed him
self with a cheap. pistol then
secured a boat and started off
down the Passaic river saying
to a companion that he was go
ing to ''hold up every craft, ex-
cept tugs and steamboats," ON
the river. The first thing he
encountered was a row boat
with four small boys and they
were startled to hear the COM
mand I'm the name of the law
of the United States, throw up
your hands and surrender at
discretion" The boys failing
to comply with the command,
young Jordan fired three shots
at them, striking one of the boys
and infiicting a very painful
flesh wound. All this reckless
ness was caused by reading dime
novels. In his possession was
found the cover of one of these
vile books entitled, Jim Cum
mings and the Detective; or,
Wild Adventures on the Mis-
souri," What a pity that such
pernieious books ever find their
way into the hands of our
youths.
Dime novels have perhaps
caused the downfall of more Of
our boys and girls than any
other one thing. The perusa
of them eventually leads tt
every vice in the catalogue o.
evils. They fill the mind witt
a craving flor adventure and are
even worse than evil compan
ions for they picture the glorie'
of a wild Western existence il
the most glowing terms. They
should be Stunned as You woull
shun the most poisonous Of rep
tiles. Perhaps the cause Of thi
growing habit of reading trash!
dime novels is brought abou
by the fact that parents are be
coming too negligent in regar'
to the literature that comes In
to the hands of tneir children
1t is the duty of every paren
to know what books their chill
dren have for theircompaniOns
if they would have them skim
ulated and exalted by their pen
usal. Keep an eye ON the book
that go into your homes an
see that none of those dime ?,
mances find their way there.
