GENTLE JUDGE

"Peopfe no doubt have often wondered
whether a Judge did not suffer a part OF
the anguish borne by n prisoner when be-
ing sentenced for a crime, says the Kan
sas city Journal THE other day. az Fort
Scott, Judge Simons sentenced a Young
fellow TO ten years at hard labor in the
peuitentisry The lad had been found
guilty Of highway robbery, having held
up compan Mon and robbed him OF an
old watch and a few cents. The next
morning Judge Simons came into court
looking weary and pale. He said he had
lain awake for several hours during the
night debating with himself over the
question Of whether or not this sentence
wss too severe. He then sent for the
prisoner. revoked the sentence of the day
before. and consigned the lad 10 the re-
