HORDES OF LITTLE ONES
FORM A UNIQUE PARADE
Eating Candy and Cream, They March
the Streets-Ineenious "Ad"
OF a Merchant.

Perhaps it was clever advertising
scheme which a local candy merchant con-
ceived and carried out yesterday afternoon.
at any rate IT formed the source of an
unusual amount OF amusement and pleas
ure for 800 children for an hour or two.
Ihrongs OF little toudlers OF ages rang
ing IRON to TO- paraded the streets.
each with pound OF candy and plate Of
ice cream. The line OF march was not
regularly arranged and there was no band.
AT times the procession had the semblancc
OF regularity. At times it was a very dis
organized mob. Some youngsters candy
or ice cream ran short and he Immediately
proceeded to levy from his ncighbor. As
the ice cream ran out rather frequently
this cntailed an endless number of free
nights III which ice cream. candy and chill
dren were hopclessly blended.
One OF the most pugnacious members Of
the parade was boy Of about o. for
whom bne ragged suspender held up very
tattered pair of overalls which saved him
from nakcdness.
His capacity for candy and cream was
something marvellous. After preying upon
most of the smaller boys in his immediate
vicinity and consuming their shares, he
vcntured down the line, where he met with
an inglorious defeat in endcavoring to con-
vince redheaded youth from Dublin
Gulch that candy was bad for his stomach.
Many Of the children enjoyed the treat
ment; many OF them remembered il dur
ing the watches of the night.

MOTHER STOLE TO FEED CHILD
Pitifu Case Of Destitution In Judge BoyIe's
Police Court in Which Nan Byxbee Finds
Food For Much Thought
and Comment.

zone touch OF nature makes the whole

That touch Of human kindness to which
Shakespeare referred is sometimes called
out in strange and unlooked-for places.
1t was in the prosaic and humdrum at

Monday that dozen men. whose ears
and hearts were hardened and whose pity

was in sore need-a woman who proudly

Judge Boyles action in dismissng the
case against Mary Morrison, who admitted
her guilt of the charge Of theft and de-
clared i'll justification that she had broken
the law to assuage the pangs of her hungry
little one. was one that is typical of the

brate. Much sympathy there is that does
not last through the moment from the
hand to the pocket but the sympathy in
this instance was deeper, and the little
boy did not go hungry that night.
Case Was Dismissed.
Judge Boyle dismissed the case and per-
sonally esnced a sympathy which sits OH
ungfaceiully upon the brow of justice.
Pride, hunger, the hunted feeling, and
the maelsirom of other contcndng emo
tons which came upon the soul tried by
hre, may lead to unnatural and prcpostcrous
conclusions. but the one who judges with
an eye more to mercy than to the strict

So rare is decent driver among the
cabmen of Paris that when an even
average reinsman is found his fortu-

with him wherever he goes. Thus the
great actor, Coquelin, brought his
French coachman with him to Chica-
go, and boasted that he was a wonder
because he had not had his wheel
taken off more than once or twice in
year or two.
In Vienna the conditions are practi-
cally the same as in Paris, with the
difference that no man who can pos
sibly afford it will take a cab in the
Austrian capital unless it is drawn by
two horses.
In London the cabby is again multi
tudinous and necessary. But for the

These liveries are most often light in

company, the largest in Paris, are
painted in imitation of wicker work.

which would warrant his arrest on
suspicion.
Before a man is allowed to drive
cab in Paris he is supposed to pass an
examination conducted by the munich
pal authorities. At the same time 1t is
a fact that few Partisan cab drivers
know anything about driving. Their
vehicles are not cabs at all. but little
victorias drawn by one horse and. as
the streets OF Paris are wet all the
time-they are washed several times
a day-and it is unlawful to drive a
horse which is trough shod," Paris

Below is to be seen a novelty in a
combination chair and hammock
which, being capable of numerous ad-

Portable piece of furniture for the
porch or lawn. The ordinary ham
mock has to be suspended from trees
or the side of a building, and this

to use the device as a chair the sup
