TO LEARN ENGLISH
YOUNG MEXICAN DETERMINED

Clever Use Made OF "Puller In" on

There is one young Mexican In town

While he is ignorsnt OF the purpose
of that American institution the pull

chance when one of the genus took
him by the arm In front of Sixth
avenue clothing shop and begged him
to come in.
That man wouldn't try to escape
from his practice, he perceived. So
for five days he wandered by and was

buy 60 overcoats, ten neckties and four
suits of clothes ''for his friends" the

nizes the sting of the bee and doesn't
rush out and find himself giving Eng
lish lessons to an eager young man
II was from this professor of Sixth
| avenue commercial English that the
young man acquired all the accent that
goes with "a push in the eye"
He and a friend wandered into a
church at a Sunday night service Both
are highly polite and when everybody
was urged to take hymn book and
stand up and unite In that part of
the service the two students of Eng

They thought they found the page
or whatever the number was. but
neither could read fast enough to sing
things strange TO them Neither has
cultivated English poetry but both
like music. Both were strong on prac-
tice and both did practice so that the
two nice old ladies just before them
turned around with wonder in their
eyes more than once.
Both had but ten cents with them
II was the day before remittance day.
They had carefully read out the sign

before the hymn was sung the minis
ter had told about a cinematograph
exhibition in the church the next week
and said something about ten cents.
So when the contribution basket APP
peared in their vicinity and was thrust
toward them both thought they would
not be let out unless they paid that
cinematograph ten cents and gave up
their last ten cents and went out into
the street dead broke Now the Mexi-

Denying that this is an irrelieious

been suggesting that religion mani
tests itself In different WAYS now from
those in which II used to be expressed.
Agreeing with him. the Pail Mall Ca
zette admits the falling off in attend
ance at church, particularly on the
part OF one sex. But THIS male defec-
ton is not altogether a new thing.
When Sydney Smith preached in Edin-
burgh he took his text from the
Psalms, "Oh. that men would therefore
praise the Lord'-and. looking round

congregation, he put a deliberate
stress upon the third word of the sen

Canon Of Episcopal Church Believes
Man Found Guilty for First Time

behavior of 20 men convicted for the
first time OF crime and give a bond To
the state TO make honorable citizens
of three-fourths OF them, Robert p. II.
Bell, canon Of the Episcopal church
here. has thrown a bomb into the pres
ent methods of dealing with criminals.
Mr.. Bell has openly charged mem.
bers of the state parole board with
being hard-hearted and inhumano.
Through his influence and work, Rev.
Mr.. Bell secured the passage BY the
last legislature Of law which permits
courts at their discretion to parole e
the guardianship Of a private citizen
any man convicted for the first time
OF crime.
Mr.. Bell wants more. Two years
hence, he says, he will try to get the
law so amended as to make It manda.
tory upon the courts to parole first of.
tenders.
The plan Mr.. Bell would have en-.
forced by law is:
To place the convicted man under
the guardianship of a good citizen.
To require the offender to make
good to the state the costs of his pros.
ecution and conviction.
To require the psroled man to make
good. as far as possible, the wrong be
has done.
In case he fails to prove himself
worthy of the parole he is to be sur.
rendered, by his guardian, to the court.
and TO be compelled TO work more di.
rectly under the eyes of the law.
Mr.. Bells theory is that the man
who commits crime would never do
so again If the proper spirit is aroused
within him. He contends that the I'm.
of prison sentence. the
feeling on the part of the convict that
he has paid his debt to society. the
fact that he is turned free wIthout
