HE BIT OFF CRONIN'S EAR
But ESCAPES WITH A SENTENCE OF
SIX MONTHS In JAIL.
Frank Stsbbs Should He Thankful for
His Light Punishment--Other
Cases i'm Court.

After holding the case Of Frank Stubs
under advisement for nearly a month
Judge McCray yesterday sentenced him to
six months in Jail and fined him $50. The
crime for which he was sentenced was one
of the most brutal committed in this city
for years. There was trouble on West Ohio
street, and Patrolman Cronin ordered a
crowd of negroes to dispense. They re-
fused to do so, and an attempt was made
TO arrest some of them. Several of them
attacked the patrolman and Frank Stubs
bit off part of Cronins ear, manning
him for life. The affair created much talk
at the time and engendered a very bitter
feeling against Wade Hill, owner of the
saloon in which the trouble originated The
punishment the police think, is so mad
equate as to be ridiculous Stubs is a
vicious man, and has been in many scrapes
before, having been charged with attempted
murder on at least one occasion. Saloon
fights seem to be the acme of pleasure to
him.
Following the sentence in this case John
Ryan was fined $50 and sent TO the peni-
tertiary for two years for burglary and
grand larceny. He pleaded guilty to the
latter charge. He broke into the store OF
Daniel Maroney, on West Washington
street, and stole about forty dollars worth

EMPTY STOCKING CLUBS"
A New idea to Brighten the Lives
of the Children of the Poor.

In the Ladies Home Journal Ruth
Ashmore gives a new idea in charity,
in an interesting. practical article on
What Empty Stockings Clubs Can
Do" She shows to what generous eX-
tent the children of the poor can be
aided and their Christmas made bright
and happy through such clubs. A little
self-denial, the appropriation to the
cause of money spent foolishly, the be-
stowal of clothing and toys, the ar
rangement of the gifts, etc, she logi-
cally contends would make thousands
Of poor children happy at Christmas,
and afford great pleasure to the men,
bers of the Empty Stocking Club"
You gain nothing by sitting in a pref
ty attitude thinking of aiding the poor
child" writes Ruth Ashmore, "senti-
mentally dwelling upon the way you
would do it, congratulating yourself
that you are quite willing to do it, and
yet never, in reality, arriving at any
thing more than mere dreaming. Now
you and l, who are not going to be
idle dreamers in the world must think
out some way in which at least one
empty stocking, and if possible many
more, may be filed. Do not wait until
next December, but begin to plan and
TO work right now. Do not wait to
hear of somebody else'S success, but
start in to make a success for your
self at this very minute. Do not pose
as being beautifully charitable in words
while you are absolutely lacking in
deeds. Pleasant words, kindly words,
and loving words, are all good things
in life, but it is the deeds, that, after
all, mean the most"

PRINCE OF WALES,
A Dutiful Son, a Loving Husband
and Devoted Father.

In the July Ladies Home Journal
George w. Smalley writes Interestingly
of The Personal Side of the Prince of
Wales. The domestic relations of
the Prince he says, are not a topic
for free discussion, but at least one
may say that one source of the general
regard for him is his bearing both to
the Queen and to the Princess Of
Wales in public. Numerous public oc-
casions have presented the Prince in
an attitude of affectionate Difference to
the Queen which is plainly no matter
of decorum merely, but personal-the
son to the mother; and when the Prin-
cess was present-the husband to the
wife
Those who know will tell you how
deep has been the devotion of the
father to his children from their in
fancy and youth, when the Prince used
to be in the nursery early each morn
ing, down to their present maturity. A
word may be said also of his brotherlv
affection for the Empress Frederick.
who has so narrowly missed, or at
most nominally shared for a short

nearness to Homburg which was
among the inducements that brought
her brother there regularly. He was

An Awakening.

A boy who thought he knew it all
Climbed UP tree, one day
And as he sat upon a limb
And took a calm survey
OF things, the thought occurred to him
That everything he saw
Was made for him, and him alone,
And that his will was law;
That he could raise the greatest stone
And level off the hills;
That he could stop the breeze that blew,
And dry UP all the rills
These things he fanced he could do
If he but took a notion to.
And as he gazed his bosom sweled
And glad, indeed, was he:
He thought the master of the world
Was perched in that slim tree!
He marked the dim horizon, and
He saw, with pleasure, that
The world stretched out on all sides from
The spot On which he sat!
But, suddenly, the limb gave way
He landed on his head,
And as he, weak and aching, lay
He sorrowfully said:
II thought the world was made for me,
] guess it wasn't though,
Or when I tumbled from the tree
The earth and sky and all
Would have been shaken by the fall,
But they're just as they We're before,

magnificent diversity regarding head
decoration. One would wear a common
straw hat hung around the brim with
tassels suggestive Of a pagoda and the
chief delight of the wearer was in
shaking his head for the pleasure of
making the tassels dance. Another had
fastened a pair of COW horns on either
