Boy To Reform School

Henry Back, the young fellow
who was arrested Monday night
while in company with a l6-year-old
girl, was yesterday sentenced to the
reform school by Judge Trenchard
of the county court He is now 1o
years old and will stay there for two
years, probably which may seem a
trivial punishment to many. Under
all the circumstances it may not have
been possible to punish him more
heavily The relatives Of the girl
urged that she be permitted to re-
main with them here and this will be
done, during her good behavior, She
is a nice looking young girl with rela-
tives Of the utmost responsibility.

The Human Appetlte!,.

OF all the whimsical, shifting, unre-
liable, treacherous, exacting things IN
the world, the human appetite for the
right thing to eat is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious.
There are those who humor it; 9TH
ers who defy it; and all men are more
or less inclined to treat it with CON
sideration, To find a place where
these varying attitudes may be fos-
tered, at the least cost in each case.
and yet keep the appetite in proper
and peaceful subsection, is always
desirable information. One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted to
this, is the Palace Restaurant, just
opposite the Page building, on Com
mereial street in this city. Try /
once, and patronize it always; that is
the rule Of the Palace.

the swamper in the saloon. and a
third man whose name was not Sc.

Justice Goodman this morning finds
that there Is sufficient evidence to
warrant holding them. The men arc
said TO have been playing "rounce." a
game that is usually played for mon
ey, and il is understood there was
money some 40 cents-on the table
when the men were placed under
arrest.
It's been long time since any
gamblers have been arrested, and tho

create amusement or fear in the
hearts Of all the other gamblers IN
