CONSUNIMATED

The following account of a mar
riage between a Japanese and a

la minister to perform the ceremony
after the justice Of the peace of

knot.
Despite the declaration of the
couple that they would be married
on Sunday, through the assistance
of Judge Mack, the Rev, Mr.. Kelly
of the Methodist church agreed over
the telephone to join the misceg-
enists, and within few minutes
after o'clock Friday evening he
married them at the parsonage OF
the church on West street.
The minister also kindly consent
ed to get his wife and daughter tc
act as witnesses to the ceremony
and the difficulties of the couple
were solved for the time being.
Mr.. Kelly made no qualification
to his willingness to marry the
couple, except that they be good
clean people," and evidently he sat
/ isfied himself on that score, Th'
fee received for the ceremony Il
, said to have been the conventiona
$40,
After the marriage Mr., and Mrs

Jimmy's punishment was that he must
be tied to the largest skyrocket that

Jimmy did not realize what he was

RODE ON A sKYRocKET

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1t was the evening before Fourth of
July that Jimmy sat on the porch
thinking of the skyrockets, firecrackers
and niger chasers.
His father had been to the city the
day before and bought them for
Jimmy.
While he sat thinking a giant fire
cracker came walking up the path to-
ward him.
He said, you are just the boy am
LOOKING for. You are one of the bad
boys who set us on fire and blow us
up. You had better come with me to
court and receive your punishment"
Jimmy started to run in the house,
but the giant firecracker caught him.
He made Jimmy go ahead of him down
the walk to the sidewalk, where
great nigger chaser stood. The fire
cracker opened a door and told Jimmy
to go in.
Inside the niger chaser were two
chairs made of small firecrackers. A
large firecracker sat in the front chair.
He was the one who made the funny
automobile go.
The giant cracker put Jimmy in an
iron cage and the niger chaser started
with a jerk. They We're now after a
little negro boy who was playing in
the street. They soon caught him and
put him in the cage with Jimmy.
The big cracker said, 1.-TWO boys as

is YOUNG PEOPLES FRIEND

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The Juvenile court does much for the
young people in this beautiful city of
temptation and sin, and many way
ward youths owe a great deal to
their kind friend, Judge Wilbur
Think of the many boys who would be
sent to Whittier and girls to the Home
of the Good Shepherd were 1t not for
the juvenile court.
The juvenile court is indeed a good
thing and we trust our boys and girls
will profit by it's many good influences
and show their kindness toward Judge
Wilbur by being so good and obedient
after the first offense, as to never again
be seen in his Office other than upon
friendly calls
Yet we should not blame too harsh-
ly the boys and girls of Los Angeles,
for l really know of those whose
mothers would rather dress and be
on the street than remain at home with
their children
Is it any wonder Gerald and Ruth
get into mischief. and are sent up to
their friend Judge Wilbur who always
has time to bother with them and
place in his juvenile court for them to
rest and hear his kindly words of good
advice? HELEN MINNICH.

GIVE BOYS A CHANCE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
l think the juvenile courts are great
benefit to a large city. because there
is so much corruption there.
The boys may read dime novels or
about murders and burglaries, and If
they have weak minds they may COM
nit murders and burglaries too.
Judge Wilbur of the Juvenile court is
a great help to such boys.
If the crime is the first the boy is
guilty of, and it is not murder or
serious crime. the boy is freed and he
is given another chance to be good.
But if he doesn't improve he is sent to
a reform school, where he is kept under
close guard and he has to behave him.
self.
If the boys were sent to the peni-
tentiary they would be in the company
of some very hard criminals, which
would make the boy worse.
Boys who commit serious crimes
should be taken away from other boys.
for they are bad influence, and they
will not do for citizens of America.
