PASADENA, July 9.-There is a
growing conviction that some tobacco
dealers are violating the anti-cigarette
law, from the fact that numerous boys
beneath the prescribed age limit are
to be seen with tobacco sack and pa
pers, and as soon as evidence is col
lected prosecutions will follow. officers
of the humane society have been be-
sought by mothers who have discovered
that their sons, ranging in age from 10
to Is years, are becoming addicted to
the cigarette habit and these anxious
parents petition that more severe re-
strictions be placed upon those who
deal in the paraphernalia for cigarette
smokers. A member of the society
states that the prosecutions lie in the
power of the police and inquiry devel-
ops that Chief Pinkham's men are
watching some Of the alleged offenders.

performed the act of a hero in stopping

in front of her home at Peoria and
Lincoln streets. The pony started away
on a run and the girl was too fright

officer Reynolds grabbed at the ami
mails head, which caused 1t to check it's
gait so suddenly as to fall to the pave
nent. The child plunged forward and
landed beneath the pony's neck, her
feet becoming entangled in the bride
reins, from which she was quickly ex-
tricated by Reynolds and Officer Reese
1t was found that she escaped injury
beyond slight bruises.
Thirsty Messenger Boys
Johnny Long and Will Evans, youth
full messenger boys, yesterday discov-
they could endure, and after pooling
their assets in cash found they were
shy the necessary amount to pay for
the drinks they coveted. Thereupon
they agreed to beat the soda fountain
dispenser at leading drug store. With
innocence stamped upon their bright
physiognomies each called for an ice
cream soda, where they supped to the
satisfaction of their parched throats.
While the clerk was busy serving
a. hosty retreat by separate exits. Off
Ger Longley was informed of the trick
and soon discovered the boys. He took
them back to the store, where they
were given a sound lecture by the pro-
prietor and then liberated. The officer
warned them that they would be locked
up the next time they repeated the
offense.
