A CALLER FOR Mr.. DE MEDlcI.
An American Art Lover Who Proposes

An American Art Lover Who Proposes to
See Him In Person.
There is a lady tuft hunter in an up
town boarding house who has the for.
eign title fever of tho most pronounced
type. She paralyzes the other roomers
by the easy, matter of fact way in
which she tells the names and titles Of
her distinguished callers. One night it
was the Prince Bombastes Deadbeati.
The night before it was the "Dook''
Indebto, and the next night it will be
the Count Freakivitch. She has been
across our great salt water privilege
several time and has contracted the
broad gauge style of numbering the
English language There is reason to
believe that she bewails her fate at hav
ing been born in plebeian America.
The ether evening while her parlor was
hlled with princes, potentates, "doolSs, -
counts and bald heads in the absence Of
crowned heads she incidentally remark
ed that on her next visit to civilization
she would get moro works of art and
among them work of ''Venus de Me-
dici ~
"You must be varee particulars and
not let the Paris clever vendors sell you
70 imitashion, " said "dook" by way
Of preoautiou.
"Oh, l shall guard against that"
she replied gayly: 81 shall call upon
Mr.. Go Medici himself. l can get let
tiers of introduction to the greatest art
lists in Europe.
Aud then there was silence like
that before storm, and the titled adj
mirers Of the tuft hunter could scarcely
conceal their laughter. New York

A Significant Increase In tho Number

Significant Increase In tho Number
Child Criminsls.
There has surely been of late a very
greatand significant increase in the num-
Der Of child criminals that are brought
to our police courts. There are moro Of
them, and they are much younger than
they used. to be, and they are vastly
tougher. F" Their manner shows plain
ly that the street has been their teacher,
and that they have been apt pupils. Its
method is simple and varies in Hollis
Kitchen and in Jewtown only in the
opportunities offered. To begin with,
tho boy idler in the street during school
hours is there in defiance of law, wheth.
or the fault is his own or not, and he
knows it, He is in the attitude of op-
position, the normal attitude of the
street. The policeman is his enemy, and
the policeman stands for the establish
ed order of things.
Thus the groundwork is laid for
whatever mischief comes along. 1t is
not long in coming, rarely longer than
the dinner hour of the first day. The
IVY ID AuuSIJ. ho waits oOlilCthiAS W
eat A boys hunger is not like a mans,
which can be eppeased with promises.
He wants something at once. If he is
playing hooky, he does not want to go
home to get it. Anyway there is no
need to do SO. The street can show him
an easier way. A grocer's stand is
handy, or a pie wagon; better still, a
soda water wagon. The bottle is worth
SO much cash at the junkshop The
drivers back is turned. The boy
"swipes" one.
1t is not very great crime, but it is
the stepping stone to many greater. A
horse blanket or copper bottonied boil
er may be the next thing 1t is the
first step that costs an effort, and that
not very great one, with the clamor
of hungry stomach to drown the warn
ing voice within him that whispers of
the policeman and the lookup. The
friends he makes in the street soon help
him to contempt for the one and Sc
cret pride in the other Jacob A. Riis
