1t is one of the ironies of fate that
fond parents with dissipated sons
should send them to the tropics in the
hope that the outdoor life and new
surroundings will reform them, writes
a Guatemalan correspondent. The ex-
pertinent has been made many times
with disastrous results, and nowadays.

Wonder II he has any good money to

sation, ask the newcomer to take a

generally all of with reform, and the
chances are ten to one that he will
drink from three to FIVE times as much
as he did at home
There are men. of course, who are
strong enough TO resist the temptation
to drink, but they are ever fewer than
one would expect. Indeed, IL is only
natural that II should be so. since there
Is every inducement to forget present
miseries in drink and few reasons for
not doing so. While the tropics con-

they also contain more than their full
share OF men who have made failure

Life In Guatemala. as elsewhere
south of Mexico. is a strange medley of
civilization and barbarism, grim life
and death struggles. and happy-go-
lucky, devil-may-care humor. To be-
gin with, the absence OF public opinion
makes every man n law unto himself
to large extent. The constant
never-failing source of jokes. and oaths

BOYS LEAD IN CRIME.
Amazing Statistics Furnished by tho
city of Chicago.

Amazing Statistics Furnished by the
city of Chicago.
The last grand jury doing service in
Chicago expressed itself as appai.sL at
the large proportion of youths from
16 to II years of age among those in
dicted for crime. OF 600 cases lnvesti-
gated, the majority were offenses by
boys or very young men. Hold-ups
were invariably the work of young
fellows. as were most OF the larcenies
and burgaries. What is true of Chi
cago applies to the rest OF the United
States. according to statement by
State Attorney Deneen. OF that city,
who Is student of criminology He
says
rake a walk through the Cook
county Jail and you will find 1t well
filled with young men II was even
worse before the juvenile court was
established. when we had to deal with
boys over 10 and under 16. If | re-
member rightly, the criminal statis-
tics of the United States show that the
majority of crimes are committed by
persons between the ages OF % and "a.
while for the whole world the most
prolific crime-producing period of life
is between the ages of Is ard %.
Some people still form their ideas
OF the criminal from the long-haired,
sinister creature carrying a dark lam
tern or dirk. which they see on the
stage from time to time In real life
the average criminal IS generally a
young man who looks a good deal like
the rest of young men. Crimes are
committed by the young when their
passions are strongest and their judg-
ment Is weakest. Some are neurotics,
others are degenerates. In an infant
there are all the elements of the Grim
inal. There develops vanity, cruelty
truancy, destructiveness, the proclivity
to theft lack of foresight. and all the
traits of the criminal Some children
do not grow up criminals because their
natural tendencies are curbed.
I'm Chicago and other large cities
bad environment is powerful agency
in producing young criminals. More
than so per cent of the arrests the
world over of which any record is kept
are of persons who came from the
tenement-house districts OF the large
cities. The city reverses the Lords
prayer and leads into temptation and
delivers to evil. Society is gradually
coming to its duty of unmaking the
criminals 1t has made and preventing
Others from becoming criminals"

SURGERY BY STEAM.
Pulling n Mans Arm Into Pssitio. su
the Maine Woods.


surgical operation performed un-
der necessity by an amateur in the
Maine woods was quite as remarks Bile
as the operations of city specialists,
who are provided with almost perfect
implements and elaborate convent
ences. The accident was a dislocated
shoulder. and the extemporo surgeon
outfit was of a find hitherto unused in
professional practice. II Is described
by writer In the Lewiston journal.
Old Sabattus was not an Indian, as
the nickname implies, but a Yankee
guide. One autumn he was left on
steamboat at one of the upper landings
on Moosenead lake while the engineer
went ashore with some guests. A man
named Meservey came aboard and in
fooling around the boat managed to
fall into the tire-pit and put his shoul-
der out OF joint. Here was q dilemma.
The other members OF the party would
not be back for half an hour, and the
injured man was in great pain. The
guide was a man of expedients He got
rope and tied his patient securely to
post. Then he tied another rope
around the mans wrist and fastened
the loose end OF 1t to a pulley OF the
engine. He managed somehow to turn
on steam and the pulley began to wind
up the rope. II drew the arm out tight
in beautiful shape. and presently the
joint snapped back into its socket.
Then Sabattus jumped around to shut
off steam, while the pulley kept on
winding. How does 1t go? | don't
know where it isl" gasped the guide,
excitedly. Il can't stop the blamed
thing!" And the pulley meanwhile was
slowly but surely pulling the patient
to pieces. His eyes were sticking out
OF their sockets, and he screamed and
gasped for breath. Sabattus danced
around like wild man, not knowing
what to do, when he happened to spy a
hatchet lying near, and jumping for
that, he cut the rope. Some years aft
erward a lot of summer company ar
rived at Greenville. Sa5attus was there,
too, and presently distinguished look
ing man. one of the newcomers. went
up to him and said with a meaning
smile. Aren't you the man who prac-
tices surgery by steam?" Sabbatus ad-
mitted that he was that same feller."

CAvOUR AS A PAGE.
Emphatic Way In which the Boy Re-
sented an Indignity.

In the recently published reminis-
cences of the Count of Reiset, long
French ambassador to Italy, is found
the following anecdote of the young
Cavour at the time when he was for
brief period at the court OF Victor
Emmanuel: "The pages, as is known,
served the king, the queen, the
princes and princesses OF the blood at
royal fetes. Beyond this they were
forbidden to render any service. All
these Jads belonged to the noblest
families of the land One evening lit
tie Camille Cavour entered the throng
room. bearing a tray covered with
ices. which he offered to the king, the
queen and princes of the blood But,
as he was going back with some ices
still on the tray, man of high rank
stepped up to the young Camille and
snatched an ice from the tray. which
the page was holding with both hands.
Cavour drew himself up, glared at this
nobleman who had so signally failed
in etiquette, and raising the porcelain
tray as high as he could, let II smash
in a thousand pieces on the floor. To
the chamberlain rebuke for clumsi-
ness, he replied that he had done 1t on
purpose. as the only possible retort to
the indignity which he had suffered"
The affair was the immediate cause
of Cavour's leaving the court for the
military school, Thus early, concludes
the Count de Reiset. did the man
whom Victor Emmanuel feared ter
ribly" assert himself.

snow fields and glaciers, yet at the

the valleys. On the cooled surface OF

and then perhaps a new flow of lava
covers up the ice without melting II.
The ice is thus shut up as in a great
natural ice house, and may be so pre-
served for thousands of years. DR..
Geikie mentions a case in which a
layer of ice occurs between two beds
of lava in a geological section. The
antiquity of such a bed of ice is to
be measured in thousands and tens OF
thousands of years. On smaller
scale is the famous Eis-hohle. nat

burg. in the Eifel. There on the hot
test day in the summer ice is to be
found. This Ice is famous and was al

when Wounded.
or all questions asked by people who
have never been much out Of doors,
none seems so simple to the old-timers
as that which concerns the d:ngers to
which the camper may be exposed from
the attacks OF wild beastq, says Forest
and Stream. 1t is chiefly women and
children who ask such questions. but
II Is evident that in the brains of many
inexperienced persons is firmly estab-
lished a belief that wild animals are
dangerous, that wolves. panthers and
bears prowl about seeking whom they
may devour. This belief is In all prob
ability survival in part OF earlier
days. when the most civilized men
dwelt largely in the East, where might
be encountered lions who would attack
them, or hyenas ready to snap up the
stray child wandering away from the
camp, or bears OF the type encountered
by the irreverent infants who apostro-
phized Elisha; and also in part OF that
time when the weapons OF primitive
man were so feeble and of so little avail
against the wild beasts that these were
justly to be feared. This feeling al
ready existing is encouraged and
strengthened by certain amount OF
the writing of the day. The average
man and woman love to read bear or
panther or wolf story not less than do
small boys and round-eyed children
listen with pleasure to the tales of
some venerable uncle or grandfather
who relates the story OF the wolves
that used to howl about his cabin or
visit his sheep fold when first he set
tied In the country. In this land of
America, as many know, there are no
such things as dangerous animals.
though there are creatures which may
be made dangerous The wolf, the bear
and the cougar are Far more anxious to
get away from man than man is to get
away from them. If given the oppor-
tunity they will always slip away and
run, and II they fight It is because they
believe that they have been cut off
from every avenue of escape. Where
an animal has been wounded il is a
different matter. Then, often, consid-
erations of prudence. are forgotten ana
the animal acts on impulse instead OF
doing what it knows to be wise: but
even so there is much more danger
from wounded deer than from a
wounded panther, and vastly more
from wounded moose. But for the
average man who is travelling through
new country where wild animals may
be plenty, who stops when he has made
days march and is at home where/
night finds him. there is not now, non
ever was, more danger from the wild
animals OF the country than from tho
lightnings which blaze in the summer
sky. Many more people have been

that more people have been struck by
falling meteorites than have been kill

tinue to print bear stories, catamount.

they will do so until long after the last

New style of Necktie Holder.

Numerous devices for securing a
made-up tie in its proper position in
relation to the collar are already in
use, but there is always an opening
for a novelty for good thing in this
line. The latest idea for this purpose
is nothing less than pair of spring
jaws which grip the head of the collar
button and hang on until made to let
go. The foundation in the case of a
bow tie is formed OF two thin plates
of steel and from the inner ends of
the plates two sections are cut and
bent backward toward each other. The
plates being hinged together and pro-
vided with stiff spring. which throws
the ends backward, the tendency OF
the Jaws is to tightly grip the shank
of the button when they have once
been spread apart and forced over the
head. The same idea may be applied
to the four-in-hand and other ties. A
Pennsylvania man is the inventor.
