Conditions are just a bad elsewhere. In Boston the District
Attorney attributes the evil mainly 20 the inability of Young men 70
find steady employment. An Assistant Chief Of Police in Chicago ar
CUES that young criminals encouraged in crime by leniency of the
courts and by misdirccted sympathy. In st. Louis a detective saws
publicity given to young criminals fatters their vanity and prompts
Others to follow the example.
Each and all Of these causes has ONE bearing, perhaps, upon
tho cose Of almost every young criminal. Meanwhile II should not
be forgotten that every Young man is largely n self governing creature,
responsible for his acts, and that a certainty Of punishment to come,
while it may not cure a criminal impulse, is very apt to restrain IT.
Until doctors agree, therefore, on a way of preventing the young
criminals exuberance, the best thing to do is to lock him up on the
first outbreak.

sang the song with more plantiveness
and more effect than Old Abe had
ever heard it in Springfield.
During the song he arose from his
seat, crossed the room to window In
the westward, through which he gazed
for several minutes with that sad, far
away look" which has so often been
noted as one of his peculiarities. His
memory, no doubt, went back. to the
days Of his humble life on the banks
of the Sangamon, and with visions of
old Salem and its rustic store came
a picture of the Gentle Annie" of his
youth, whose ashes had rested for
many long years under the Wild flow
ers and brambles Of the old rural bury
ing ground, but whose spirit then, per-
haps, guided him to the side Of mercy.
Then wiping his eyes, he advanced
quickly to the desk, wrote brief note,
which he handed to the lady, and in.
formed her that it was the pardon she
sought.
