A JUDGE WHO MAKES BAD BOYS GOOD.

Judge Ben" Lindsey, of the Childrens Court
Denver, is now pretty well known for his unique
methods of dealing with boys A writer in the
Review of Reviews says of him and his way of
doing things:
Judge Lindsey's method of holding court is
unexampled He takes his place among the boys
one of themselves. He talks to them in their
own language and makes free use of their slang
His method of examination is fraternal rather
than paernal. He fosters in the boys the
idea that his own tenure of office depends upon
their good behavior"
Judge Lindsey has, apparently, endless resources
for boy-reaching When he saw that the dime
novel habit was bringing many otherwise good
boys within his jurisdiction, he did not begin a
campaign against the dime novel. He replaced
1t with good juvenile periodicals. When it be-
came evident that the lack of facilities for clean
Illness and the need for clothes were often the
first causes leading to delinquency, Judge Lind
sey asked for and secured juvenile court rain
bath and Quitting department When he learn
ed that what appeared on the surface to be bad
morals was often only bad eyesight, he had
physician appointed to make physical examina-
ton OF every boy brought into court To these
minor details of the court work the Judge at
tributes many of his most brilliant successes.
Commitment, with Judge Lindsey is always a
last resort. So far, out Of the hundreds of bows
who have been in court only eighteen have been
sent to the Industrial School The method of
commitment is all Judge Lndsey's own He
simply gives the boy the warrant and tells him
to go out to Golden and lock himself I'D Not
one boy has betrayed the judges trust ALTHOUGH
the trip furnishes numerous opportunities for es-
cape in a street-car ride across the CITY to the
railroad station, a train ride to Golden IN the
foothills, and half-mle walk to the institution

A STRANGE THING.

Did you ever know that tree can be angry?
There is kind of Acacia in Nevada that not only
is "touchy" as the sensitive plant but, as
gardener puts it, goes very mad" 1t is about
eight feet tall and is very rapid grower. When
the sun sets it is ready to go to sleep and shuts
its leaves together and coils the ends of its twgs
just like pgtal. If any pulls that tail
well, the tree does not squeal, but it autters and
moves uneasily and seems to be deeply agtated.
If 1t is ever disturbed by shock such as trans
planting the leaves stand in all directions and
culver violently. Strangest of all they send out
pungent, nauseating odor that is most unpleasant

THE RESTORATION OF DREYFUs.

Three malign forces combined to make Drew
tus, the Alsatian Jew, the common scapegoat for
evil purposes mitarism, anti-Semtism and
clerical animosity toward the republic Recent
history has no incident in personal or national
lie so tragic in its implications, and in its out
come so encouraging to humanity's belief in Just
God. Dreyfus to-day stands forth not only
free but innocent man by judicial decision and
national parliaments legislation. He is restored
to the army with rank equal to that which he
would have had had there been no horrible inter
val of persecution and soul-testing, and he is to
be enrolled in the Legion of Honor. Nothing
that the State do to atone for the wrong done
is being left undone, and Dreyfus takes the re-
versa calmly in impersonal way, without the
slightest trace of bitterness against his detractors
and foes. The best comment on the latest chap
ter of the affair is Edwin Markham's poem, writ
ten when the earlier trial at Rennes was under
way 1t reveals Markham at his best and shows
the faith he has in the Eternal Justice. We
quote i'll part
He'll laughed its little hour; and then behold
How one by one the guarded gates unfold
Swiftly sword by Unseen Forces hurled
And now man rising against the world!
Oh, import deep life is deep as time
There is Something sacred and sublime
Moving behind the worlds, beyond our ken,
Weighing the stars, weighing the deeds of men,
Take heart, o soul of sorrow, and be strong!
There is One greater than the whole worlds
wrong
Be hushed before the high Benignant Power
That moves wool-shod through sepulcher and
tower!
No truth so low but He will give it crown;
No wrong so high but He will hur1 it down.
. men that forge the fetter, it is vain;
There is Still Hand stronger than your chain.
lis no avail to bargain, and nod
And shrug the shoulder for reply to God.
This chapter in church history certainly has
confirmed mems faith in the Eternal Rectitude
revelation, however, only made possible by the
loyalty of men like Picquart Labor and lola to
truths of heart and conscience, which in turn
came from God-Congregat ionalist

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN GOTHAM
Mrs. oeIrichs Eats Pie With her
Gloves On.

News has just reached this coast
by telegraph that all New 4orks
worked up over the fact that Mrs.
Oelrichs has almost upset New YORK
society by eating pie with her gloves
on. 1t set the fashion at once ana
lust as the smart set of Manhatt LII
Island had decided to never hereafter
eat pie without six-buttoned gloves on.
along comes the news that the san.
lady had eaten some more pie
whether pumpkin or apple Is not stat-
ed,) without gloves.
Now the dispatch states society IS
at a loss to know just how to eat pie
until Mrs. Oelrich tells them which Is
the correct thing. 1t was announced
a few weeks ago that Mrs. Oelrichs
contemplated moving down town and
it was feared that her contemplated
change of residence would move the
dead center Of society in such way
that the social fabric OF the ISLAM
would be disturbed.
1t was keeping a great many people
awake nights and real estate values
were being seriously affected.
All these d phooJ dispatches
which appear in the San Francisc 60
papers are paid at the rate of one
dollar a line and those who wonder
as they read may as well know that
any one is foolish enough to pay the
same rates can make themselves just
as ridiculous by spending the sane
amount of money All that is nee
cessary is to find a newspaper tina
will take the money and run the
stuff to the exclusion of real news.
People who seek these methods ii
advertising themselves are never
taken seriously by society.
The only effect such advertising is
to raise a laugh and the people who
laugh enjoy it better than they do
in the perusal of any comic suppl :
ment that can be printed.
