There was one CLEAN OF sunshine
during the examination OF the prison
ers. During the questioning Of a wit
ness n policeman was asked II II was a
preconcerted affair.
"No indeed, your honor. It was no
free concert affair; 1t was circus"
was the reply.
one OF the facts developed by the
trial OF these cases Is that there is
hardly an italian OF the lower class
who has not concealed in his cloth
Ing somewhere one or more deadly
weapons. which he uses on the slight
est provocation, as Is demonstrated
by the large number OF crimes Of that
description that are pernetrated by
Italians, out OF all proportion to their
numbers as compared with other ma
tlonallties.
An effort should certainly be made
to reduce this class OF immigrants to
its lowest numerators and denomina-
tors. SO to speak.

When the tnpers are lighted and cur
tains down
In the evning after tea,
little maid with eyes Of brown
Comes climbing on my knee,
And begs me In her sweetest way
TO show her how the shadows play,
The shadows on the wall.
And then. with fingers deftly bent
IN many crafty ways
Fantastic figures / invent
Before the lamps bright blaze:
They dance and caper to her delight,
These shilhouettes in the candle bright,
Quaint shadows on the wall.
And now an animal appears,
And now an airy sprlte;
Anon her laughter and her fears
Aroused are at the sight;
And now she clasps her hands with
glee.
They seem to her reality,
These shadows on the wall.
wow. darling. tell me, " you can,
What IS II on the wall?'
81 really think It Is man.
So stately, strong and tall"
But out OF the darkness comes a hand
And whisks away our shadows grand,
Poor shadows on the wall.
All. little maid with deep brown eyes,
Where wondcrous shadows lie,
Now opened in sweet surprise
To see the shadows ily,
In the great world OF work and strife,
Where YOU must learn the rule of life,
We are but shadows all,
out of the shadows come we, pet,
Into the shadows go;
Whence our coming we forget,
whittier we do not know:
A little while In earthly light
We fit. then vanish from 1t quite.
Like shadows on the wall
