such consummatc skill that she had to
be discharged. When the judge an
nounccd his decision, the crocodile tears
gave way to a broad grin, and leaning
on the arm of her legal adviser the aged
sinner left the courtroom.
Just before the court adjourned a
comparatively young-looliing woman en-
tered the court and asked for war
rant for the arrest of her husband
who had amused himself the night be-
fore by getting full and knocking his
bettcr-half under the bed When he
had her in this undignificd position he
wound up the days enjoyment by
kicking her with great vigor and ours
ing her in the choicest phrases known
to the lowest elements of society. The
warrant was issued, but, unfortunately,
the judge could not enter u decree of
divorce for which the woman pleaded.
She was told that to secure Il legal sep
aration from her loving spouse she
would have to file bill in a higher
court, bit of information which called
forth Il flood of tears. "Shc's moved
just now" said an officer to me, but
when her old man is brought into
court she won't be here to prosecute
him. It's always SO with women"
For four hours the grind continued,
and then the court adjo,Incd In the
afternoon the Black Maria" came
around to take the convicted prisoners
to the bridcwcll. The cells vacated by
them were made ready for the next
nights catch" Men with broolns and
buckets Of water cleaned the filthy
floors of the cells. The matron and her
assistants made preparations for new
consignment of female malefactors.
The judge and his clerk, tired out by
their disagrecablc work, repaired to an
other Office where his honor transacts
business as justice of the peace The
ha0itues of the courtroom went to the
nearest saloon to talk things over"
Not one gave n second thought to the
causes which lead so many promising
young men and women to pcrlition,
and yet there is no school in the world
whore The folly of wrong-doing is illus
trated SO forcibly as in city police

place of safety. In the afternoon she
was compelled TO take ride in the
''Blacll Maria" vehicle which carries
convicted prisoners to the bridcwell.
There She will have time to sober off,"
II process made tolcrablc only by the
hope of another protractcd spree at the
expiration of her term
The next prisoner was rather gen
tecl-looking. middlc-agcd party ac-
cused of petty larceny. The evidence,
produced by n number of pcddlers and
other peripatctic merchants, showed
that the defendant was in the habit of
purloining small articles whenever he
passed their counters. The prisoner
employed no lawyer, but argued his
case mt length and with wonderful
ability. He produced tears at will and
i'll the watcrworllS line was as great a
success rs Mr. Wellers friend Job
Trottcr lie spoke glibly of pcrsecu-
ton; referred to his accusers us mis-
guided Hebrews" and "vicious mon
sters," and alluded to himself as the
''son of n patriot who has shed his
blood on many fields" The Judge
listened patiently to the hurangue and
then advised the poor fellow to recite a

from continued use. In order to give
him the leisure necessary for the pro-
duction of an entirely new line of de-
Tense his honor favored him with six
months sentence.
The argumentativc victims place was
taken by Il mecll-loolling young woman
who was charged with beating her four
ycar-old stepdaughtcr' with leather
strap until the poor little thing dropped
insensiblc to the ground. The prosecu-
ton in this case was in the hands of the
lawyer of philanthropic society,
whose agents told in few words how
they rescued the little girl from being
whipped to death. The Judge, who had
shown but little interest in the proceed
ing cases. listened with interest to the
testimony and viewed with horror the
wounds and stripes on the tender body
of the child. The testimony brought
out the fact that the girl had eaten an
apple which the mother had given to
her own child, and for this offense she
was punished with incredible cruelty.
The judge fined the woman fifty dollars
and costs and turned the child over to a
charitable organization. The prisoners
husband and father of the abused child
paid the fine and, accompanied 10y the
demon who looked as meek as an
abused angel, left the courtroom.
The next prisoner brought before the
judge was n fat woman charged with
misleading young girls. The old hypo-
critic carried n handkerchief in her
right hand for the purpose of wiping
away the few tears which were occa-
sionally allowed to meander down her
ficshy checks. She pleaded persecution,
and persuaded her attorney to laud her
rs one of the most DISTINGUISHED benc-
factresscs in the city. Her ''indigna-
ton" persuaded none of the habitues of
the court, who knew her as an old Of
fender, but she managed her case with

ways a great favorite in the diplomatic
circle. Indeed, at one time it was ru-
mored that the British minister, Sack
vile West, was going to lead her to the
altar-a rumor which arose, however,
solely from her intimacy with his
daughters. She is good musician, has
read widely in the different languages,
rides horseback little, dances ''di-
vinely," the men declare, and above
all, has the tact and aplomb of n So
ciety woman of twice her years. Owing
to Mrs. Mitchells delicate health She
rot only discharged the many social du-
ties that are imposed on Il senatorial
household but looked after the domes-
tic machinery, and herself did the mar
iSeting. Senator Mitchells dinners are
famous from epicurean and decorative
standpoints, and to his charming da.ugh-
ter belongs the credit.
She met the duke dc la Rochcfoucauld
in Paris about six years ago, and it was
case OF love at first sight. There were
obstacles in the way of their marriage
which have at last been cleared away,
and the engagement, which comes as a
surprise to many, is natural cons,m-
nation of their hopes to her friends.
The prospective bridegroom comes of
an old and distinguished French family,
noble in deed as well as in name. Its
original seat was the town of La Roche
foucauld, near Angouleme, and it's his
tory traces back to 1926, when a certain
Foucauld, first scigneur de la Roche, is
spoken of in charter of an abby of An
goulcme as 'cI noJiSSimus FUicau;sus."
1t has literary vein also, which mani
tests itself in the present duke and is
traced back to Francois Due dc l.. and
Prince dc Marsillac, born in 1918, who
was much attached to literary pursuits,
and who cultivated the society of the
most eminent literary people of his
time, Boileau, Racine and Molierc, and
who published, besides his memoirs,
the reflections du Sentences ct Max.
ines Morales" which is still widely
quoted. and regarded as q model of
French prose.
The duke dc la Rochcfoucauld is not
one of the many impoverished mobiles
seeking for rehabilitation in an Ameri-
can fortune, but possesses estates and
an income i'll harmony with his rank.

ON THE WAY TO STATES PRISON.

They were all physical and moral
wrecks, picked up in the cutters and
sewers, from which nothing will rescue
them save death or imprisonment for
life
Nearly every one of the prisoners was
sentenced to serve n term in the bride
we'll. Some listened quietly to the SEN
tcnce, others abused the judge, but all
of them will resume their riotous way
of living us soon as the doors of the re-
formatory institution are opened to
them. The crowd which | saw Mt the
police court on this particular day was,
seemingly at least, incapable of refor-
nation and redemption: and unless
Providence intcrfcrcs with miracle
each one of the unfortunate creatures
will expire amidst scenes of vice and
misery too sad for description.
One young fellow attracted the at
tention of the crowd assembled in the
courtroom. He looked hard, and seemed
just triile annoyed when the officer in
charge Of the case accused him of habit
ual drunkenness. The Judge, who
seemed TO be we'll acquainted with the
prisoner, exclaimed thirty days." and
the hangers on strained their eyes to
catch n glimpse of the next victim. Few
noticed the shabbily-dressed old woman
in the courtroom who sighed as the
judge pronounced the sentence. Had
they known that she was the mother of
the prisoner they might have treated
her with some consideration, perhaps,
when she broke into tears AS it was,
she was made the target for the cheap
wit of the callous frcqucntcrs of the
courtroom, who were inclined to think
that only good luck had saved her from
sitting on the prisoners bench herself.
They did not realize that her swollen
eyes were produced, not by dissipation,
but by weeping over a son who, at one
time, promised 10 be her support and
comforter. Instead, the young man
drifted into evil company and was even
then on his way to the pcnitentiary, for
the fellow standing next to him prom
ised 60 give valuable information re-
garCling robbery which had puzzled
the police for scvcra. days provided he
should be acquitted on the charge of
drunkenness. Ills offer was accepted.
The judge imposed Il fine. but suspend

cuscd his companion of having been n
party to the robbery. He bought four
weeks of freedom by his trcachcry and
broke IL heart which had never ceased
to hope for the reformation of her boy

her favorite flowers. She was member
