A New York police justice has dis
covered q sure method of dealing with
big schoolboys and young college fel.
lows who create trouble In public
places and then plead "fun" and the
baby act when apprehended. He takes
them at their word and treats them as
babies.
A lot of young fellows attending the
City College engaged In series of an-
noying stunts on subway platform.
When arrested they took the usual
stand of youthful innocence, with the
usual youthful plea.
"All right" said Justice Olmsted.
"If you are young children who know
no better l will treat you as such. You
are remanded In care of the Children's
Society,""
There was some lively kicking from
the husky young fellows, but an officer
took them to the rooms of the society,
where for several days they were pen
ned in with real children and fed on
childish diet When again brought
into court they were fined So each. AT
the college they are now known as "the

A aueer Play In Baseball.

Here Is a play In baseball that hap
pened long ago. Perhaps 1t never will
happen again. Did any one ever hear
of base runner scoring from first
base on line drive that was caught
by third baseman and when the ball
never left the third baseman's hand?
The play happened in this way: Andy
Moynihan was playing third base for
the Pastimes of Chicago in 1868 when
tournament was held. The Occiden-
tails of Peoria were the opposing team.
In the first inning, with runner on
first, the batter drove liner straight
over third. Moynihan showed up his
hand, the ball struck 1t and stuck fast
In the hand. The crowd cheered. An
instant later they saw something was
wrong. Moynihan, writhing with pain,
was running around third base. The
base runner at first saw something was
the matter and ran down to second.
Then he ran to third and finally trotted
home unmolested.
The trouble was that the ball, strlk-
ing Moynlhan's hand, paralyzed the
nerves. The ball was stuck tight in
his hand. 1t was five minutes before
his fellow players could pry his fingers
open and get the ball out.-Chicago
Tribune.

The Family Honor.

Bobby" asked the teacher Of the
class in arithmetic addressing the
question to one of the younger pupils,
"how many pints are there in a gall
lon?" "Ive forgot 1t again, ma'am,"
said Bobby, who found it hard to COM
NIT to memory the tables of weights
and measures.
Thinking that perhaps by turning
from the abstract to the concrete she
might succeed better in stimulating his
power of recollection, the teacher tried
another trick.
Bobby" she said, your father is a
mllkman, isn't he?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Well, now, think as hard as you
can. He sometimes sells a gallon can
full of milk, doesn't he? Just so
Well, when he does, how many pints OF
milk are there in that gallon canP"
"It's all milk, ma'am," Indignantly
exclaimed Bobby.

A retired field officer has expressed
his belief that four-ffths Of the field
officers of the line would retire to-day
If they could because of the unrest
and unhappiness in the army" Such
general unhappiness and unrest would
seem to argue variety of causes; no
special reason can be given why the
life of the officer In the army has lost
It's attractiveness to so great ma
jority of those who lead it. In a time
of peace, with not speck of war cloud
anywhere in sight, when promotions
are slow and advancement Is apparent
ly hopeless; in time of great CONNER
cial prosperity when fortunes seem to
be easily made and when millionaires
are as abundant as the well to do men
of few years ago, 1t Is perhaps not
surprising that the officer on small pay
is dissatisfied with his lot and believes
that all he needs is the opportunity to
jump into a fortune. 1t Is true also
that an officer with social qualities has
many friends among the civilians who
are ready to assist him In any busi-
ness longings and to encourage him to
change his life. More than this, there
are not few men in the army whose
training and qualifications attract the
attention of corporations and business
men, and whose services are eagerly
snapped up whenever an opportunity to
profit by this training presents itself.
Such men seem, therefore, to have an
incentive to leave the army. On the
other hand, there are those who should
wisely let well enough alone. II there
are hundreds or thousands Of million
aires and men who are apparently on
the safe road to wealth, there are also
thousands of those who have fallen
miserably by the wayside. Though a
man may serve faithfully and credit
ably in the army, it does not follow
that he may leave at any time and ac-
quire millions. Indeed, the converse of
the proposition Is more likely to be
the truer The army has its advant-
ages even in time Of peace. The living
Is assured and the pay is regular. Fur
ther than this, the officer who conforms
to regulations knows that he has no
worry for the future, and that his
reasonably grateful country will sup
port him though he lives many years
after the period Of retirement. If his
pay is not large 1t Is at least adequate
for his support, and an officer Of the
army, who is also gentleman, has a
dignified standing in society that Is
not without Its compensatory value.
Doubtless the wave Of commercial pros
perity and the continued assertion of so
many business chances" have not a
little to do with such unrest and un-
happiness as have been specified. But
1t is probable that the retired officer
quoted has overstated his case and that
no such general dissatisfaction pre-
walls. Uncle Sam is not grinding
taskmaster, and his servants are al
ways sure of their money.

very costly one. Carefully compiled
statistics show that in the five great

less than 538,165 persons are annually
killed or Injured In the United States.
This is at the rate of over enc min
ute, and 1t includes only a few of the
largest industries.
