wish to see. Eckles Is not more than
five feet and Of slight build. Many at
tempts had been made to step the horse
from the time 1t ran away from Sec
ond and Canal street until Il reached
Pennsylvania avenue. Just as the horse
reached Third street and Pennsylvania
avenue Policeman J. X. Boswell. Of the
Sixth precinct, rushed out into the street
directly IN the path OF the horse. The
animal swerved when Il saw the officer,
who Just missed catching the rein. Up
the street a hais block Eckles, who is
colored, was standing In a doorway
When he saw the horse coming he ran
out into the street, and as II came dash
ing toward him. he made leap and
! brought the horse up In a trice.
AS Mr.. Ryan was about to enter tho
runabout to which the horse was at
! tached at Second and Canal streets
something frightened the horse and q
started TO run. Mr. Ryan was throw

TO EXTEND THE JUVENILE COURT
Every County in the State May Have
a Court for Children.

| There is a movement on foot to eX-
tend the juvenile court to every coun-
ty in the state.
| At the conference of charities and
corrections, held at Red Wing last
Novem Der, the juvenile court question
was thoroughly discussed, and com
mittee was appointed to confer with
committees from the district courts
and the Minnesota Educational asso-
citation. When the educational asso-
citation met in Minneapolis a large
part of the general program was de-
voted to discussion along this line,
and Judge Lindsley's lecture added to
the sentiment for reform in dealing
with juvenile offenders
A committee, consisting of Supts.
Kunze of Red Wing, Frazier OF Wi
mona, Farmer Of St. Cloud, Isaacs
of South St. Paul and Dyer of Alex
andria, was appointed to cooperate
with the committees appointed by the
district courts and by the Red Wing
conference.
The district court committee consis-
ted OF Judges John Day Smith of
Minneapolis, Orr of St, Paul and
Ensign of Duluth. The committee ap-
pointed by the conference Of charities
and corrections consists of G. E.
Faulkner of Minneapolis, Judge J. w.
Willis of ST. Paul, A. J. Eckstein of
New Ulm, J. F. French of Window
and Lyndon A. Smith of Montevideo.
Mr.. Smith is chairman OF sub-com-
mittee to study the aavisability of ex-
tending the system to all the counties
in the state, and will be ready to re-
port draft of a bill to the committee
at it's next meeting.
A plan which seems to meet with
much favor is to have the judge of
probate of each county act as judge of
juvenile courts and have charge of all
cases involving Juvenile offenders.
There would be number of probation
officers who would work with the court
and receive the reports of the children
placed on probation.

The relics which it loves best are the
relics of England's discontinue. The
stately portraits of Copley are of small
account compared to the memorials of

war. Faneuil hall, the Covent Garden

A vast monument, erected a mere quar-

Boston massacre And wherever you
turn you are reminded of an episode
which might easily be forgotten. To
an Englishman these historical land
marks are inoffensive The dispute
which they recall aroused far less emo
ton on our side of the ocean than on
the other, and long ago we saw the
events of the Revolution in a fair per-
spective. In truth, this insistence on
the past is not wholly creditable to
Boston's sense of humor. The passion
ate paeans which Otis and his friends
sang to liberty were irrelevant. Lib
erty was never for a moment in dam
ger, if liberty, indeed, be a thing Of
fact and not of watchwords. The lead
ers of the Revolution wrote and spoke
as though it was their duty to throw
off the ,Noke of the foreigner-a yoke
Is heavy as that which Catholic Spain
cast upon Protestant Holland. But
there was no yoke to be thrown off.
because no yoke was ever imposed, and
