A Flemish gentleman conceived
the idea that he would live only a
certain time, so he made a nice cal
culation of his fortune, which he so
apportioned as to last just the same
period as he guessed his life would
extend to. Strangely enough, his
calculations came correct to the let
ter, for he died punctually at the
time he had previously reckoned.
He had so far exhausted his estate
that after his debts had been dis
charged a solitary pair of slippers
represented the entire property he
left. His relatives buried him, and
representation Of the slippers was
carved on the tomb. Today in a
churchyard at Amsterdam his grave
may be seen, the only inscription
on the stone being two Flemish
words, "Effen Nyt" ii. e., Exact

IN ORLEANS COURT
Sad Case In Juvenile Court Thursday
Boy Confessed to Being Thief
Sent to Prison.
Special to Tho NeTS.

Special to Th' NepS.
New Orleans, La, July 15.-Judge
| Wilson and the attaches of the juve
nile court were sorely taxed Thurs
day morning, in the disposition of the
case of siXteen-year-old George Won
wolf, who lives at Nine Mile Point
and who confessed to the theft of a
$40 diamond ring on July list. The
boys mother was present in court
and her solicitation for her son and
her faith in him, was of such an abid-
ing nature that every desire was made
to shield her.
However, there was no other alter
native than to send the youth to the
Home of the Society for the Proven
tion Of Cruelty to Children, for an in
definite period AS the sentence was
pronounced Mrs. Won Wolf made an
Intellectual effort to restrain her tears,
but failed.
The son, who until this time had
restrained himself, attempted to gath
er his mother in his arms. This only
increased her weeping, and necessita-
ted her being led from the court by
Probation Officer Mrs. Kenneally.
Mrs. Won Wolf was given stimulants
but was unable to leave the court for
several hours.
The boy was employed at a house
on Rampant street, between Canal
and Common, on the day of the theft
and was moving an armory when the
ring was found by him. He was cap
tured by Detectives Kennedy and
Lellen in attempting to dispose of it
and admitted the theft This is his
first venture in crime, and it is be-
lieved that the advice of the Juvenile
court officers and the train of the So
ciety will have the effect of keeping
him in the straight path
His frank attitude convinced many
that he is far from a hardened thief.
and that his case is one of the many
where the juvenile court can accom-
plish great good in its purpose of re-
forming rather than furnishing.
