Lad Boys and Girls to Be Made Good bv
 Hypnotic Suggestion.
 Away with your prisons and refornoa- tories Out upon dark cells, eat o' nine tails, bread and water and all the other old time methods of teaching the naughty young idea how to shoot into the bullseye of reform. A now genius has arisen, the royal road to reforna. ton has been discovered, and hence forth bad boys and girls will be made good while you wait, like old shoes.
 In recent number of metaphysical magazine new genius tells how to do It. Mental suggestion is the coming method. Hypnotism succeeds the dark cell. All yon have got to do is to take young rascal and mentally suggest to him to be good, and the thing is done in Jiffy. The writer says that he has tried 1t and that 1t works He would be willing to tackle Jesse Pomeroy, or the Boy Firebug, or any other youthful offender against the laws, and sooner or later convert him into an estimable citizen. Some cases of moral infirmity are reached in ten minutes, he says. "Others may take ten days, woeks or even longer. But we must not be dis couraged. ,
 Never give negative suggestion, cries this learned pundit, always a positive one. Suggest to boy that he is going to be honest and industrious. That will fetch him. To suggest the negative is rapellent. It does not catch on. That is tho great fault with teach. CTS and parents. They do not take the right side of the matter. They should lead, not attempt to drive
 Just as soon as the hypnotists have a chance to get in their fine work there will be 2 millennium among the grow ing generation. Elmira will go broke for want of custom, and Randall's is- land can De turned into public park. Three cheers New York World.

 He is q son of tho late Charles Pratt, the multimillionaire philanthropist, Standard Oil prince and railway mag nate. He graduated with distinguished honors from Amherst college ill 1893.

 Here. dressed in blue overalls and greasy cap and jacket, his athletic col lege training stood him in good stead, for he sheyeled eoal as we'll. as any oth= CT fireman on the line. He liked the work and faithfully kept at it. Now and then he resigned his place to anoth- CT fireman and took turn at running the engine, always, however, under the direction of another engineer.

They repaired to nearby cigar store, leaving the jewelry shop in charge of Thomas Goffey, a boy of 10. The jeweler and his customer had just about reached the cigar store when man entered Mr. Kaempff's s place.
 How much are those diamonds?a he inquired of the boy
 Tommy did not know, but told the prospective purchaser that he would find out. The boy went in search of MT. Kaempff He was absent about half q minute and returned with Mr. Kaempf When they were about five yards from the door, they saw tho stranger leave the shop.
 When Mir. KaempR and Coffey enter ed the store, the boy saw that the dool of the case on the counter was open, and a tray of diamond rings valued at $3, GOO was missing.
