Parents and Delinquent Children.

The story Of delinquent children
is, as often as told, practically the
same. Judge Frazer, whose expert
ence in the Juvenile Court covering
a period of a few months has brought
him in contact with 70G children who,
in greater or less degree, fall under
this head, sounds the old warning,
saying: "The dangers that surround
slowing child are not fully appre-
ciatod by niahy parents. They allow
boys and girls to go out alone to
theatres aid other amusement re-
sorts, and then wonder why they go
10 the bad" This, he added, is SIM
ply matter of carelessness upon the
part of the parents. 1t would seem,
with an army of 700 children ap-
pearing before the court for repri-
mand of counsel within few months,
that parents of the city should awake
to the sense Of responsibility re-
quired and restrain the liberty which
is so detrimental to boys and girls
who have not yet come to years of
discretion. Judge Frazer says truly
that the need for greater parental
care cannot be emphasized too strong

pointed with shaking finger.
The line had swung back abeam
and slackened. Bloody bubbles were
rising and cracking on the surface,
and the water itself seemed arching
upward with the quick rise of the
huge bulk.
But when the ray appeared, It
backed off and began to circle the
launch. rasping the frightened line
along the gunwale.
"Cut away, Jim," said the pro-
fessor. "If that line catches on any,
thing, he'll upset us in a minute"
Boiling severed the line with his
clasp-knife, but the ray continued to
circle. Round and round the launch

fired at it, and the vicious spat of the
bullets told that he had not missed.

forward with tremendous rapidity,
passing the boat as If it were anch-
ored. Then it wheeled with an up
toss of water, and seemed to gather
itself for rush.
Boiling threw over the tiller, but
before the sluggish launch could turn,
the ray was upon them. Charging

Shark. Somewhere, basking placidly
upon the bottom, lay the devil-fish,
and doubtless, with more or less regu-
larity, it moved about in the search
for food, but the occupants of the
launch failed to detect its presence.
Day after day went by. The pro-
fessor's face grew longer behind the
green veil. His time was limited, and
in this paradise for collectors there
was much that he was neglecting.
Every slow crane croaking over
head, every necklace of drops flung
up by a leaping fish, every prolific
patch of sea vegetation reused i'm

devotees of science must be dogged.
"There is so much, so much!"
sighed the professor. "Jim, boy,
envy you all this. What field to
work I'M"
Boiling yawned. He was lolling
in the stern, his fingers clutching a
cord, on the farther end of which a
mullet was fastened. 1t seemed such
fruitless business.

Opaque, as If struck by slant of
wind. But there was no wind and
the surface was CLASSY.
Very quietly Boiling leaned for
ward and stopped the engine. The
dusky patch darkened, grew sharp in
outline, and then the devil lay awash
upon the surface, staring at the
launch. Its huge, wing-like append
ages stretched beyond both bow and
stern.
"Give 1t to him!" said Boiling, in
a shrill whisper, and rose, harpoon in
hand.
1t was impossible to miss so big a
mark. The lance struck the fleshy
back, and sank as if into blue mud.
The professor, with his feet wide
apart, ratified out couple of shots
from the magazine rifle.
The ray struck out with one great
wing and then with the other, lash
ing the water white and throwing
spray clear over the launch. Before
the eddies had smoothed it was gone.
The next moment it shot up ahead,
broad as a sail, the harpoon-line
streaming behind it. AS it hung for
second, tapping, the professor fired
again.
Look out for rush." cried Boil
ing, and reversed the engine.
The ray fell back with resound-
ing slap, and instantly the line leaped
over the bow. The professor hardly
had time to brace himself before the
shock came. The line snapped taut,
and the launch, in spite of her re-
versed engine, sprang forward, two
sheets of water fariIg from her de-
pressed nose.
He'll tear the bow out of her!

ONLY A LITTLE Will e.

Only little while travel Efes weary way
Only a little while we look on the light of day.
Only a little while want and wish and wait,
Only little while work at our daily tasks,
Only little while usual Masks
Only a little while trouble please friends,
Only little while seek selfish ends,
Only a little while struggle and strive and fail,
Only a little while we buffet aguinst the gale
Only little while worry and fuss and fret,
Only little while grumbe at what we get
Only little while join in the great worlds strife,
Only little while we share in the joys of life,
Only little while put up daily bluff,
Only little whle-but isn't it long enough? .
