Jail Them.

From the Boston Transcript.
One year in the penitentiary for the
en-year-old joy rider in New
York who ran down woman in front
of her own house, inflicting serious in
juries, is the sentence just imposed in
the court of general sessions there.
The youth pleaded guilty to assault in
the third degree. The testimony tended
to show that he was intoxicated at the
time of the accident. If such youths
do not deserve substantial punishment
it is hard to see where 1t should be IN
flicted.

able temper. and when he was an

one occasion he WAS very angry over
the manner in which one of the Dutch
newspapers had criticised his actions.
He refused To see his ministers and

palace. storming and gesticulating, as
was his wont
The cabinet was becoming desperate
since some important papers demand

solve the difficulty. She sent little
Princess Wilhelmina. then about five
years old. into the corridor to meet
her father. She watched him for q
moment unnoticed and then initiated
his actions. stamping backward and
forward. with her fists tightly clinched.
His majesty caught sight Of her and
was unable TO help laughing as he
paused to watch her. Half an hour

The Faust Leaend.

For 400 years the Faust legend
the sale of Il human soul 10 Il devil
has existed. The first recorded hint
of its vitality is given in the sixth CEN
tury story of "Theophilus." That
story suited the early Christians in
their efforts To stamp out the NEGRO
mancing devices of evilly disposed per-
sons prone TO seek power by unholy
means. The association of the name
of Faust. however. with the legend is
not more than 400 yards old. The
likeliest prototype of the modern
Faust is the man of the same name
who in Cracow boldly proclaimed him.

was bestowed by Mephistopheles upon
