Over One Hundred Entered in
Sun Contest.
Mayor Yeiser, DIR. Murrell and DR..
Taylor Making Trips Over City
to Pick Prettiest.
WILL BE HARD TO DETERMINE.

Mayor Yeiser and Or. d. G. MUIR
rell. and DR.. J. Q. Taylor. Of the
park board, and the board Of public
works. respectively. were out yester-
day afternoon inspecting the yards in
the northern part Of the city to make
the awards in The Suns contests for
the prettlest yards in each ward, and
the prettiest yard in the entire city.
They covered most OF the city
north Of Broadway. and will go over
the southern portion Monday after
noon.
The task set them by The Sun Is
no easy one, and they realize 1t. The
trip disclosed the fact that there are
more pretty yards in Paducah than
the city has been given credit for.
and 1t will probably take two trips
before decision can be made.
The yards of the city, as a whole.
are in excellent condition. There Is
more interest taken In beautifying
them than ever before, for which The
Sun can claim a trifie Of credit, and
nature, with the generous rains OF
the past fortnight, has assisted no
little. The result is some attractive
neighborhoods. 1t was noticed that
the yards without fences presented
the prettiest appearances. and this
feature was commented on.
DR.. Frank Boyd has one OF the
prettiest yards the committee saw. It
Is the work of the doctor himself.
and yesterday as the committees
drove by he was out In the yard IN
his overalls, hard at work.
The Sun has over hundred names
Of people who requested that their
yards be not overlooked, and the IN
terest in the contests is keen. 1t
has been noted that some Of the
streets on which there are pretty
yards are so torn up by street con
struction work 1t will be impossible
to drive on them. and 1t is suggested
that anyone who has a yard ne
wishes to enter in the contest. and
who resides on one OF these streets.
notify The Sun. and the committees
will make that visit on foot.
The prizes are $40 for the pretti-
est yard in each ward and $40 Tor
the prettiest yard In the city.

YOUNG SWINDLER
BEATS MERCHANTS
Three Fall Victims to His
False Statements.
Cupidity Of Eight.Year-Old Crook
Finally Leads TO His De-
lection.


Hardin. Ky, produces case of
youthful depravity and criminal pre-
cocity almost without parallel. Sew
eral storekeepers in the little town,
who fell victims to the artful wiles Of
an eight-year-old can't testify to this,
but although they have clear case
of obtaining money b false pretenses
against him, they will not prosecute.
The child lives in the country, he
is barefooted, tanned and innocent of
eye. Moreover he wears a hat Of
multi-co.ored straw, that says at ir-
regular intervals around the brim. The
boy Is no different in aspect from
dozen other youths CT the same age
around Hardin. but he succeeded in
defrauding three merchants out of rs
cents as easy as-well, more easily
than picking berries-and then only
came to grief through his own Stupidity,
the preoipice over which all criminal
careers end.
He walked into Irvan & Hughes
store last Wednesday morning. His
face was unfamiliar in Hardin at that
time. 1t is likely to remain unfamil-
lar on the street, but his image unfamil
pressed in the memory of two or
three dealers.
He walked straight up to Mr.. Irwin,
who was behind the counter, and
said:
"Mr. Irwin, took a bucket OF ber-
rles to your house and Mrs. Irwin
told me you would give me quar-
ter
His voice was business-like and his
manner unabashed, but respectful.
The merchant handed out the coin and
patted the youngster on the head
This encouragement seemed to stimu-
late the criminal enterprise of the In
fantile swindler, who proceeded d.
rectly over to Ryan & Miller's store
and gave Mr.. Miller a quarters worth

Mr.. Rutter, the druggist, was the
aext victim, and with three quarters
Jingling against each other In his
pocket, the yougster proceeded to the
next store, hoping to make 1t a dol
lar for the day.
81 just took bucket OF berries to
pour house and your wife said you
would give me a quarter for them. y
He repeated his formula to the mer-
chant.
The latter smiled knowingly.
"Ill telephone to the house." he
replied. 81 just bought enough yes
terday to can for the winter" he said.
But the boy was running like mad
for the country.
1t was at first thought some older
person was using the lad to swindle
the town people. but when II was as
certained that the child alone was
guilty, all thought OF prosecution was
dismissed from their minds.

WOMAN LEADS THEM.
Gang Of Burglars Rob Store In View
OF Multitude.

New York, July 21.-With wom-
an as their chief a gang Of burglars
daringly entered wholesale clothing
store few doors from Broadway on
Twentieth street. late Wednesday
night, and carried out a truck load OF
valuable clothing while occupants of
the Continental hotel opposite looked
on. The woman directed the men OF
the gang in selecting the material to
be taken. She accompanied them
from the truck into the store and fol-
lowed each bundle of clothing out to
the street. There she superintended
the packing of 1t on the wagon. All
this the Continenta patrons saw. not
suspecting that the store was being
robbed. They believed the concern
was moving and that the woman was
a saleswoman or fioorwalker In charge
OF the work.
