PRETTY CARRIERS
FOR HIS TEACHER
Crimson Bands With Silver
Clasps Boys Proof
of Love.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Willie Barney,
thirteen years old, whose affection for
his school teacher, Miss Sadie Wolf,
led him to arrest and the Gates ave-
nue. (Brooklyn) police court ON a
charge of annoying the young woman,
admitted in the court room, when an
adjourned hearing of the case was
called, that he was madly in love with
his pretty instructor.
In proof of his sentiments the boy
displayed pair of bright red garters
with silver clasps and a black silk
skirt, which he said he wished to pre-
sent to Miss Wolf. The garters, made
by Willie's sister, were held up for the
magistrates inspection, while Miss
Wolf blushed to the tips of her little
pink ears and announced that she
would accept no gifts from her youthful
admirer. Willie took the garters and
skirt back with rueful expression.
Miss Wolf, who is attached to School
No. IS, at Evergreen avenue and CO.
vert street, and lives at No. 374 Ham
burg avenue, said in court that she
had no desire to have the boy sent to
jail. She wanted him warned not to
annoy her. She repeated the story of
his having pointed pistol at her and
throwing stones at her after her re-
fusal to accept his attentions. She
denied a statement that Willie had
given her mince pies. The inference
was drawn that Willie begged the pies
from his mother for his teacher and
then ate them himself
Willie was called to the bar He
was arrayed in his best Sunday
clothes, including a red necktie and a
red shirt. In his right hand he held
parcel. In reply to Magistrate Nau-
mer's question as to what the parcel
contained, the boy unwrapped it and
exposed to view the garters and skirt
These are for Miss Wolf he said,
proudly, as he displayed the bright
red carriers with the silver clasps
And this skirt is for her, too," he con-
tinued, as he held up for view a black
silk skirt. Il bought the stuff for the
carriers and the skirt with money 1

magistrate. There is no particular

reason for it that can see. He used
to write to me very indearing notes,
calling me Dear Teacher and ex-
pressing many fond and loving terms.
AS soon as this state of affairs be-
came apparent to me did my best to
make him forget me, and was serious
ly thinking Of having him placed in
another class room.
Magistrate Manner paroled the lit
tie fellow in his mothers charge for
one week, warning him that he must
cease his unwelcome attentions to his
teacher. The boy took the carriers and
skirt home with him, saying they
would be appropriate for his sister.
Mrs. Barney told reporter last week
that Willie fell two years ago and
fractured his skull. AS result, he
spent several weeks in st. GATHERINGS
hospital in Brooklyn. She refused to
say If she thought the injury had any
thing to do with Willie's present in
