When Judge A. B. Grace in the Jeff ferson circuit court passed sentence on Frank Stanley, IF year old white boy in the Jefferson circuit court ves- terday morning after Stanley enter ed a plea of guilty to charges of ob- talning money under false pretenses and forgery, tears came into the boys eyes and he created sympathy among those in the court room when he man. fully protected his parents from any embarrassment, declaring that he was of good family and that his mo- ther and father were highly respect ed residents of Illinois.
 Stanley was given one year in one case and two years in the case in which he was charged with forgery. Judge Grace asked him where he was from and Stanley replied that he has lived at Cairo, III. My parents live north of Cairo and are highly respected residents of that state," he said. T would not like to make their names known as I do not want them to suffer for my crimes
 While Young Stanley was. wiping the tears from his eyes Judge Grace told him that he was not requesting him to give the names of his par ents. He gave Stanley a severe lec- ture, assuring him that it was a painful duty for him to send him to the state prison, but the law compell- ed him to do so. Judge Grace told Stanley that he sympathized with him in his trouble, especially because of his youthfulness. He warned him to lead better life in future and to obey the prison rules, which would result in his terms being shortened. Judge Grace impressed upon Stanley the fact that he should not become |, hardened criminal just because the laws of the state had laid a hand on him and were punishing him for H. legal conduct. You are young, said the jurist, and there is plenty of opportunity, even after your dis missal from the state prison, to make a man of yourself. You should not blame the state for your imprison- ment. You alone are to blame.'
 When Judge Grace finished giving the youth much valuable fatherly ad vice, Stanley asked the court if he could not send him to the farm in- stead of the penitentiary. 1 need fresh air. said the prisoner, my lungs are very weak
 ''How old are you?'' asked Judge Grace.
 Seventeen replied Stanley. K Have you any way to prove your age?' inquired the court.
 "Only by writing my parents, but l would rather not do that said Stan- ley.
 Judge Grace looked at the young man for several minutes. Finally he said: ''I will take the matter un- der advisement.' It is believed that Judge Grace will recommend that Stanley be placed in the Arkansas Reform School at Little Rock.
 Young Stanley bears every evil dence of refinement and good rear ing. He has repeatedly refused to divulge his right name and says that he will bear the punishment for hi7 own misdoings without adding furth- CT trouble and worry to his parents lot. It is stated that Stanley told q companion, with whom he was ar rested here ten days ago, that he was a nephew of an Illinois con- gressman.
 Stanley and another young man, Robert Hobson, were arrested near the Elks Theater in. this city some highs ago by Constable Frank Stew art and Deputy Constables W. A. Branson and D. w. Stewart, after charge had been made against them
