poeton Feb pe-Hoodlunlisnl is running riot in
this city and many persons declare It IS because o.
the passage Juvenile law that the city Is Qrac-
ticaIly given over to the reign of der kids Ihls
,,4ven,Ie law which has now been in operation
wear is the same which has been used to such ad-
vantage in cities of the West But many Boston
youths so far from living a more manly HE under
the probation system, pose as heroes and start OUT
to see how many city ordinances they can break
before they declared beyond the pale OF the
probation law and treated as adult offenders
They do not stop at such tame pastlnne as oreah-
ing city ordinances either. but rapidly proceed to
more serious crimes. such as highway robbery and
sneak thieving.
Police Commissioner O'Meara has voiced his dis
approval of the Juvenile in his latest report. in
which he says: There is danger, and in measure
certainty, that the dread OF arrest has been dIr-
ished, and that the boy who has been al court and
returns free and apparently unharrned often takes
the airs OF hero rather than the uien Of
penitent, and that his playmates are as likely TO
emulate to avoid his conduct"
This emulation has resulted in two bands Of
Forty Thieves in South Boston. OF them we'll
organized and up to all sorts OF mischief The
organized gang began mildly enough by breaking
glass defacing buildings, destroying fences, uproot-
ing flowers and shrubs and pilfering fruit This
sort of pastrne began to pail on the Forty
Thieves. It did not attract enough attention, and
so they advanced TO stealing lead and brass and
robbing gas meters. Then the residents OF Boston
and it's suburbs began to complain fretfully, and
the Forty Thieves started in to do more things.
and they have been doing them for full year.
They are often caught, but they are put on prooa-
ton under the Juvenile law and go forth TO
take a still deeper plunge into mischief And
whenever one of the members is arrested the band
chuckles: "Oh, what's the use? They can't do
anything to him. he's young"
The better organized band of Forty Theses is

FREE LUNCHEON.
Wea7thy Uen Like 1t, Say Hotel
BOnifdces.

The free lyncheon habit is invading circles
hitherto exempt, according TO proprletors or
we'll known hotels, and as a result men worth
millions who five years ago would have hes1tated
to be seen taking a bite at the luncheon coun-
ter in the cafe now think nothing Of getting
their midday bite at these priceless" restau-
rants
The hotel men regard it another develop
rnent of the split second method Of American
business another chance to save a minute or
two Frequently the tips given by these men to
the walters would serve, with the sum spent
for beverages, to purchase very good luncheon
in the nearby dining ROOM
There is another factor, too, the hotel men be-
Iieve This is that the meats and other dishes
served at the free counters are commonly
cooked in plain American fashion. and many
men whose paIates are weared by foreign dishes
served to them by hotel chefs or by their own
cook at home are glad to get ham, American
stvle. without champagne sauce or roast beef
without mushroom "fxings" or rich gravies.
Some hotel proprietors say there is psyche
logical exclamation of the free luncheon habit
In a discussion along that line recently the pro-
prietor of a high priced Broadway hotel said:
don't know why it IS but people say that the
same dish served in the regular dining room
tastes he+te~ on the free luncheon counter. I, my
self have Imagined that pork and beans taste
better on the luncheon counter than IN the din

EVEN CRIMINALS ARE ARTISTS.

Outside of these exhibits. Chicago has demon
strated that she has the genuine artistic sense
surging in the breasts OF her hImblest citizens
and demanding suitable expression Take. for
instance the case of Adolph Henry Hess, of No.
$50 west Huron street. Chicago. to prove the
point
Hess is nineteen years old. He was arrested
and sent to the county jail for two months on
charge of forgery It happened that the chapel
of the jail needed redecorating while he was
there He overheard the jailer talking about
the work and volunteered to do IT, The jailer
allowed him to try. So the boy began painting.
He painted until his sentence expired, and then
was released from Jail His work was still un-
finished He left his prison and started home.
4 can't leave it, he said TO himself before he
got half a block. Then he retraced his steps.
knocked at the jail door and begged permission
to remain prisoner, living on Jail diet and
sleeping on a plank or cement floor until he
could finish painting his design His request
was granted. and to-day the angel Gabriel how
ers on cloud on the Jail chapel ceiling, and the
Christ child. Moses on the mountain and the
Good Shepherd with lamb arm and the
ninety-and-nine following. look down with for
giving countenances on the five hundred or more
criminals or suspected criminals that gather in
the chapel every Sunday to hear the chapains
sermon.
All this is the work of a Chicago forger who
loves art more than freedom.
Take, as another instance, the Social Art Club.
of Chicago. This organization has headquar
ters at the home Of Mrs o. P. Kellogg, No '353
Bissel street. II is incorporated under the laws
OF Illinois presumably TO help Chicago become
the art centre of the nation. It's promoters be-
lieve that the way 10 foster ar is to put works
Of art into the hands of the people. 1t has
educated the people OF Mrs. keIogg's neighbor-
cd IN ICh
dred or more of them scramble to gain admis-
sion to the clubroorns every night a meeting is
held They willingly pay % cents each for the
privilege, and when they get in they strive
the euchre table TO win hand painted vase or
little figure of marble. Several dozen works OF
art thus find way in a single night into homes
that but for the Social Art Club. might forever
be destitute of things Chicagoans most highly
cherish.
