A TALE OF wv THIEVES.

Two painful cases came UP before JUS

Police Court and the other in Jersey
City. Up at East One Hundred and
Thirty-ffth street a young girl, seven
teen years old. was arrested for stealing
a bottle Of milk that had been left in
a doorway. She took the milk. put It
under the thin shawl that scarcely COW
cred her shoulders, and was making off
with It when a policeman arrested her.
In Jersey City a man was placed at the
bar charged with having stolen six
loaves of bread from a grocery store.
He had seized the bread desperately and
made Off with 1t, but was pursued and
caught.
The girl. II appeared. had gone out in
the cold of the early morning to steal
the milk for her little sisters and brother.
The man had stolen the loaves because
his wife and two little children were
hungry at home.
In New Jersey the man was allowed
to go free. the grocer not being willing
to press tile charge. In New York the
Police Justice was anxious TO release the
weeping girl, but the milkman insisted
on pressing the charge.

ferriage.
Yet we would rather have the nights
