There are two records that will

SAD SPECTACLE IN
THE POLICE COURT.

Five small boys were in the police
court this morning to answer the
charge of entering a dwelling, steal
ing wine and becoming drunk in the
streets. Two of the offenders were
recently before the court on the
charge of entering stores and stealing
therefrom firearms and attempting 20
sell the same. The latter were sent
to the reform school and the other
three turned over to their parents Tor
correction. The youths who had en-
tered the store and committed lar
ceny and who now await their re-
moval to the reform school, were dis
missed, as their victims were averse
to prosecuting them. Justice Catcn
delivered an admonition at this time
which the youths failed to heed. It
therefore became necessary for the
authorities to act this morning as the
offenders have refused to obey the IN
functions Of parents. school teachers ot
the Police Court.

A SENSIBLE SEASON
OF GIVING.

We are approaching the season Of
giving-and the. glad anniversary Of
the year-the merry Christmastide.
The Sensible Christmas League has
adopted pledge which contains .
good suggestion for everybody. 1t
is this:
81 will be brave enough to give only
where love and sympathy and help
fulness make giving worth while.
will not turn Christmas Day into a
day of barter and exchange, I will
make those whom l love and who
love me happy and bring joy, as far
as am able, to those who other
wise would have no joy-to the poor,
the lonely, the i'll, the old, the friend
less and the helpless"
There is in that pledge a Tebckc
to the growing custom of "exchang-
ing" presents between people whom
no real ties exist. nor need enters. The
pledge would eliminate ostentatious
giving, and the giving that impover-
ishes the giver and adds nothing to
the store of those wno already have.
There is often more in the simple to-
ken of love and remembrance than
in the most pretentious present.
The pledge is strong. in that it
makes plain the purpose Of bringing
joy to the poor, The lonely, the i'll.
the old, and friendless." If these be
made happy at this time, then indeed
is Christmas served in its best sig
nifcance.
It's the generous spirit that makes
the real Christmas, and not mere lib
crafty. The generous spirit is born
of the heart and mind. it is broad in
love and deep in sympathy for the
human kind. It shuns the show OF
lavisnness and seeks to scatter sun
shine in dark corners. The cost
mark on the tag is not the measure OF
its giving. To be generous even in
thought of others is better that IN
feeling liberality.
