that this western country can't always

him in hand. With the tears stream
ing down mis- face the lad declared that
he had been made to steal by his
brother. He declared that his parents
forced him to go cut on the street TO
sell papers and said that he had not
seen his father for more than q week.
The young boy begged and pleaded to
be allowed to go and see his father and
mother before he was sent to jail
The officers say that they have had
so much trouble with the lad that
something has to be done and he was
held at the station awaiting the action
of Mr.. Margetts.
Last evening. while the officers in the
station were busy listening to the
troubles of others, young Wilkes,
" Watching his chance, slipped to the back
of the office, and when the desk ser

could not be found, and no trace Of him
has been seen since.

Warden DOw's Uniform Scheme

Dow. There is a vast amount of
pride, even among cOnvicts They
despise stripes and close cropped hair.
IF a prisoner commits any fragrant Of

divest him of his plain suit and clip his

ton of having to submit to be branded
by stripes as much as they do the in

steal" sobbed 10-year-old Louis
Wilkes as he was marched into police
station yesterday afternoon by a police
man. The lad, whose name has almost
become a synonym for theft among the
police, was caught in the act of steal

store on Main street. He was noticed
in the store by the manager. who
watched him and saw him cleverly slip
some tablets and pencils and some
masks under his coat with the ease Of
professional shop litter. The lad
started out of the place, but the man
ageF cellsred him and turned him over
to Officer Miner. When caught, the
lad whose dears and pitiful stories have
on more than one occasion saved him
from the reform school, began to weep
so copiOusly that his captOr would

in a trap ScanneIl began to use his
feet as batterlng rams on the door
which was quickly demolished. In an
attempt to dash out of the place he
dived through a large stained glass
window, demOlishing the window, but
in some way escaping without any in

place Officer Smith and Hemple arrived
on the scene and collared the smasher.
In his fury he attempted to annihi-

pinning his arms down and marched
him to the police station. Scanned de-

had cooled down.
