JOHNNY SULLIVAN
THE REFORM School YAWNS
BEFORE HIM.
ONLY THIRTEEN YEARS OLD
Moral Training and the Rod Have
Failed-Father and Mother Want
Him Committed-Dces Not
Look So Formidable.

John Sullivan. boy of IS, who was ar
rested something over week ago Il
charge of vagrancy and incorrigibilty
and has been in the county jail await
ing a hearing since that time. was ar
raigned before Judge McClernan this
morning to plead. Johnny had no coun-
Sel so the court appointed Attorney
Naue1ton to represent him and set the
hearing for next Saturday morning.
Johnny's present predicament is the
result Of complaint made by his faith
err and mother, John ard Mary Sulli-
van. He is only Is years old, yet his
parents have declared that they cannot
exercise proper control of him. A care
full moral training. backed by the vigOr-
Gus use of a 4-year-old club seems to
have signally failed in their relations
with him, according to their confess
sion.
Yet, as he stood up on the jurors stand
this morning and replied affirmatively to
the formal inquiry as to whether John
Sullivan was his true name or not, he
did not look as if he were the conserva-
tor of dynamic forces that could success
fully resist a club. He appeared to
weigh only about G., and his face indi-
Gated the presence under his skull of an
ordinary Juvenile mind.
In the information filed against him
by the county attorney he is charged
with growing up in mendicancy, va
grancy and incorrisibiity; with being
'wayward and vicious;'' with '.associat-
ing with Migrants, thieves and vicious
characters" with running away for
weeks" and with refusing and neg
lecting to go to school," The indictment
is a very heavy one.
Johnny. judging from the information,
seems to have walked any old gait that
pleased him; snapped his fingers at
parental authority, and generally whis-
tied defiance to all things good and or
derby. If he goes to the reform school,
which is likely, he will have many years
of pleasant association with the wick
eldest boys from everywhere and learn
life as he never could at home, and his
parents will be relieved of supporting
him.

nothing that the purse and taste could
supply that was too good for the police

that was done for them. However, the
lady had to put up with lot of joshing,
for the papers in other cities came out
with long stories about her efforts to

were represented as assuming rather
odd positions in the parlor of their gra-

experiment came out, but If the woman
is still carrying on what might be called

it. I hope. however her efforts will not
be the last to be made to show an ap-

Six Frightened Lions.

the annals Of the show business. The
chief feature Of the exhibition was a
turn" consisting of the casting of
young woman securely bound into a
cage of lions heralled as being the
fiercest and most bloodthirsty Of man
eaters.
The woman who had the part Of the
victim was taken i'll, and a substitute
was found in the wife of one of the
trainers, herself Il trainer of some ex-
perience. but without any acquaintance
with these particular six lions. AS she
was somewhat nervous she carried II
small club ready for use should Occa-
sion arise.
Amid the breathless silence of the
spectators the ringmaster explained
the ferocious nature of the lions and
the terrible risk of the woman and
she was thrust in at the cage door.
In the excitement of the occasion the
door was not securely shut after her.
No sooner was she fairly inside than
the six monarchs Of the jungle, seeing
that strange person had been forced
upon them, raised chorus of shudder-
ing terror, bolted for the cage door,
clawed it open and with dragging tails
and crlnging TANKS fled out through
a rear entrance and found refuge in
cellar whence they were dislodged on

man eaters" were sufficiently recover

Deafne IS Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies Deafness
is caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken ont and this tube restored to its
normal condition hearing will be dest-
royed forever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
