He is small for his age; a wien
faced, little eyed, stunted rat of a
child. with leathery skin and the
complexion of a drumhead. He
lives on a route along which l often
walk between my hou@ and my
Office, and my attention was first
called to him by an extraordinary
act of violence that he committed
upon his mother. She ran scream
ing out of her tenement apartment
into the street with her apron up to
her face AID knot OF women trail
ing after her, says the Providence
Journal. She screamed something
about her need of water and a great
deal more about her eyes and her
fear that she was blinded. The
women hustled her into the court
yard behind the barr acks where she
lived and began to deIuge her face
with water from a running hydrant
Little by little it came out that
her boy, Tommy, had come home and
demanded ten cents that he might
go to dime museum ''wid de gang"
/ She did not have the money or did
not propose to gi 9 1t to him, and he
became angry, and, filling both hands
with red pepper. rubbed the staff
/ into both her eyes before she
suspected what he was about
or could prevent the act.
Tommy came down while the women
were doctoring his mother and lurked
at distance, looking on.
Suspecting that he might not find
favor in their eyes, should any of
them see him, Tommy armed himself
with an undersized cobblestone.
They did see him, and brandished
their great bare arms at him, and
called him a choice lot of names He.

child, not very roughly, by the
shoulder and told him he was a bad
boy and would never be satisfied till
he found himself in Jail "Aa-ah,

'ankee customs he abhorred. ''Why,
I'VE know" he continued with an
