RICH BOY WON'T STAY HOME
Threa tens Suicide II Returned to His
Parents-Juvenile Court
Puzzled.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Aaron
Bergman for three days has defied
the juvenile court.
Although his father Is we'll to do,
Aaron was said to have persisted in
going about in rags and was charged
with trading on the credulity Of the
sympathetic theater crowds.
His father had punished him for
staying out late, and when arrested
for peddling without license he re-
fused to be paroled in the custody OF
his parents. announcing that he would
commit suicide before returning home.
Two days in the house OF detention
did not alter his attitude, and even
when his mother tainted in court he
would not weaken.
Judge DeLacy, fearing that the lad
in a spirit of braggadocio, might at
tempt to injure himself If ordered to
accompany his parents, turned him
over to the Children's Guardians.
They are now seeking q way out OF
the situation.

Dollar Bill.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-The conscience

G. M. Albert, living in Lyman county.
has been enriched to the extent OF a
one dollar bill as the result of an in
cident which occurred about twenty
years ago and which had long since
been forgotten. g
Among the utensils In the Albert
kitchen twenty years ago were set
Of plated flatirons. During the win
ter, when the house. was heated by a
base-burner stove, Mrs. Albert en-
ployed a hired girl. The girl in doing
an ironing thought the kitchen stove
too slow and dumped the f1atirons
upon the Goals in the base burner. In
a few minutes the irons were melted
to such an extent as to ruin them.
In the spring the girl left and Mrs.
Albert had forgotten her until few
days ago, when she was surprised to
receive a letter from California town
containing a one dollar bill.
The letter and money were from her
hired girl Of twenty years ago. the
girl now being married and quite
wealthy. In the letter she stated that
her conscience had troubled her dur
ing the intervening years because the
fiatirons were ruined through her
carelessness. She stated further that
she wanted to make good the loss and
believed one dollar would replace the
irons now.

tas Had No Effect on the Criminal
Element. While Law-Abidins Citl.
zens Are Left Without Means
Of Protecting Themselves.

New York.--One year has passed
since the Sullivan law" aimed to
prevent the carrying OF concealed
weapons, became law, and, as was
predicted year ago. the law proved
IN utter failure. Crooks and other
criminals continued to carry con-
cealed arms in spite Of the law, which
fell heavily only upon a number Of
iaw-abidlng citizens who were the pos
SCISSORS Of arms for protection and
neglected to get rid of them before
the law became effective.
In other words, the law merely had
the effect of depriving the law-abiding
citizens Of their means OF protection
while the criminals, against whom
they tried to protect themselves, were
left in possession of their weapons
According to the annual report of
the coroner, just issued, there were
106 homicites by shooting during the
last twelve months In Manhattan, only
two less than in 1910, when the high
water mark in the number of homi-
cides by shooting was reached. In
eighteen of these cases the circum-
stances did not call for an arrest.
while in eighty-eight cases arrests
were clearly in order As matter
Of fact, however. arrests were made
only in thirty-seven of the cases. leav-
ing fifty-one cases in which no ar
rests were made. j..
Under the Sullivan law 1t iss illegal
for any dealer to sell a pistol or other
dangerous weapon prescribed by the
law to any person not in possession of
license for owning and carrying
such weapons. In spite of this fact
it is estimated that during the last
twelve months more than 5000 revolv-
ers we're sold by dealers and pawn.
brokers in this city in violation of the
law.
John Schrank, the man who shot
Colonel Roosevelt, admitted after his
arrest that he had bought the revolver
from which the shot was fired in
shop on Broadway, near Canal street,
in this city. Another significant fea-
ture is that gang fights in which pis-
tolls were used were more frequent
during the last twelve months than
ever before. This clearly shows that

Surprise, Indignation, Joy we're min
gled In the expression of Delicia's
eyes-indignation that anyone dared
to enter what she had grown to con
slider her own. and Joy that the old
garden was at last coming into Its
own. for the man below was working
like happy slave over paths and
vines and rose trees.
Delicia made her cup Of tea slowly
and thoughtfully while she cast oc-
casional glances into the garden or
rather at the man In the garden. That
he was big and well knit was easily
seen and that his head was crowned
with gold was equally apparent but
his features we're not discernible.
