JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.

The following paragraph appeared
this morning:
Two youngsters just entering
their teens faced Chief O'Neil yes
terday enroute to the Detention
Home and Judge Lindsey's court.
by their ow n confession they had
broken in 70 a store and robbed a
safe. By reason of Colorado's wise
and humane laws, the cases of these
ing attention, and whatever decis-
ion is reached will have reformation
in view, not punishment. The ar
rests, therefore, are only important
in that they call attention to the
alarming increase in juvenile de
lii quency-an increase not no ed
in Denver alone. but in every city
in the country
The increase in juvenile delin-
quency is something to be reck-
oned with. 1t is most pronounced in
Denver, leading one to inquire,
after all, if there may not be some
thing in our juvenile laws them
selves which is responsible in some
measure for the rowth of crime am
ong the young.
Undue severity is not to be de
sired; reformation is ever preferabl
to blind punishment carried out in
spirit of revenge; but on the 9th
er hand, petting and pampering of
youthful offenders is as much to be
decried as unnecessary harshness.
The juvenile court does not always
Inspire the wholesome respect which
it should. The coddling method is
apt to make vice familiar. Fear as
disciplining agent is no longer rec |
ommended, but no one is quicker to I
take advantage of the absence of the
strong, corrective hand. stern but
just, than the erring child, with his /
acute and accuarte powers of per
cpetion.
There seems to be at times dis /
position to "slop over in handling
juvenile delinquents. The saving .
process is not infrequently carried |
to extreme lengths. Society, as well |
as the individual, has its rights and (
the interests of neither are con-
served when the state weakens its |
control over the criminally inclined .
of all ages by mistaken leniency.=

EIGHT $50 BILLS STOLEN
FROM ITALIANS TRl'NI

An Italian came down from Cory
in double quick time, according to
hose who saw him tie up to "A
hitching post Sunday forenoon and
from his excited manner 1t was very
apparent that something unusual
had happened to him.
Where can / find an officer, the
district attorney or anybody who
can help me geo my money!" were
the first words to come from this
badly Illustrated son of Italy, and he
was told where to find an officer and
also the public prosecutor
The reporter later learned that the
Italian and a Hungarian. each with
a wife, occupy separate rooms in "A
frame house near Cory. The Ital-
ian had planted" eight nice. new
twenty dollar bills away in his trunk
which stood near the partition di-
viding the two rooms and on Sun
day morning when he dived down in
to the depths of that trunk for a
twenty to be used for present per
sonal needs, 10 and behold, all was
gone.
He couldn't accuse the Hungarian
in the adjoining room. nor could he
give "A clue to others who might have
come into possession OF the money.
and thus the matter rests.
An officer was detailed to go out
with the unfortunate man that night,
cato the guilty party or parties.

MAKING A
PATRIOT
By Epps w. Sargent

Milly flung herself from her horse
and dashed up the few steps to where
her father. David Graham. sat scowl-
ing out upon the world.
Here are two letters and The Clar.
ion," she said as she delivered the
mail. There were some letters for
the boys that | left down at the
bunk house and what do you suppose.
Dad? They're going to have a Fourth
Of July celebration on Monday"
Darn FOOLS" grunted Graham. as
he slit open the letters with his knife.
Burn a lot of money up in colored
fires, give the boys an extra good ex.
cuse for getting drunk. and there isn't
any work done for week afterward.
Who started it,"
MIR. Bedloe." she said with slight
flush. "He said that ii was a shame
to let Bitter Creek put up better
celebration than Monday and the rest
jumped at the plan. It's all by pub
lie subscription" she added timidly.
Il told Mr. Bedloe that | thought that
you would be willing to give $50 to.

IF that old fool of Powell wants to
waste his substance that way he

a bad example. If you see Bedloe
again. you tell him to save himself the
trouble Of coming out here"
HE said that he might be out this
way this afternoon" she answered,
flushing softly.
Graham glanced sharply at the girl.
"You keep away from that fellow Bed.
loe," he commanded. Hes q nuts.

round you"
Milly turned to the door, but Ora

her again and she turned questioning.

Il don't want the men told about
this thing" he ordered. III they hear
Of 1t, they'll want holiday and they
can't have It. You hear?"
Milly nodded again and slipped
through the doorway to hide the tears
that started to her eyes.
Until this year Monday has not at
tanned the dignity of population suf-
fciently large to warrant a celebra-
ton of any sort, but much had hap
pened to the town in the last year.

Cuyler Bedloe had started little pa
per in addition to his law practice and
he had been a leader in march Of
progress that brought the population
of the town very close to that Of its
deadly rival Bitter Creek.
There was to be a barbecue, pa
rade with a band famous in four
states to head the processlon) and the
governor, who had been classmate
Of Bedloe's at college, had half prom.
Used to address the crowd from the
rear Of the train that was bearing him
to the celebration at the capital. 1t
was intended to crush Bitter Creeks
ambition with one decisive blow, and
the plans bid fair to draw most OF the
Bitter Greek crowd TO Monday.
When he rode up to the Diamond
G ranch house Bedloe encountered the
first rebuff that he had received since
the plans were started.
Il suppose you read The Clarion"
he said when Graham had given sur.
ly greeting. I'VE are planning a big
time. It will be q great thing for
Monday to have the governor make q
speech. It will advertise US all over
the state"

short response. Burning and eating

Morument to Honor champIaln.

The first memorial lighthouse to be
erected in the United States Is In the
course of construction on the shore
OF Lake Champlain and will COM
memorate the deeds Of the French e.
plorer, after whom the lake is named
A lighthouse now stands at Grown
Point, N. Y. and the determination
to make 1t a memorial of the discov-
erer was reached during the course Of
the tercentenary celebration OF the
discovery, in 1909, says the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. There are sew
eral memorial lighthouses In Europe.
but none has 70 far been erected In
the United States. The old stone
lighthouse at Crown Point was made
the basis of the plan which architects
were set TO work completing. The
project provides for the reconstruc-
ton of the old light tower in monu-
mental form.

How completely In any domestic
emergency the master can count on
his Berber servants Is illustrated by
this grim anecdote from Mrs. +. l..

It," An Englishman Of very high
rank in the Egyptian service wished
to give in his own house a dinner
party to the prime minister and other
Egyptian and English nOtables. He
was a bachelor, and did not often en-
terrain, but he spoke to his servants.
and told them that he particularly
wished the dinner to be successful.
The Egyptian, or rather l'erber
servant has quick sense for the
honor of our house." as every good
servant calls his masters abode. So
the servants bestirred themselves.
and the guests sat down to an excel
lent dinner, beautifully served.
Good fish succeeded good soup. and
then there was q pause. The host
talked his best, but began to feel
nervous. However. after q delay
hardly long enough to attract the no
tice of the guests. the even procession
Of dishes began again. and the eve
ming was most successful.
After the guests had departed. the
host said word Of praise to his head
servant, and then remarked:
by the way. there was rather .
long wait after the fish. Why was
that?"
MAY It please your excellency, the
cook died of cholera"
"What!"
But investigation put the fact be-
yond a doubt. The cook, attacked at
the last moment, but anxious for the
honor of the house. had worked on
till he fell dead ut his post. and his
body had been then hastily laid aside,
and the marmton finished the cook

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured by vinol.


Did you ever cough for month?
Then just think how distressing It
must be to have a cough hang on for
three months.
Mrs. Maria Primrose, Of 81 Newell
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y, says: i had
a very heavy cold which settled into
chronic cough, which kept me
awake nights for fully three months,
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken so much. The effect
of taking your cod liver and iron rem
edy, Vinol, is that my cough is gone.
/ can now get good nights rest, and
I feel much stronger in every way"
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal elements, Gods livers. aided
by the blood-making and strength
creating properties of tonic iron which
makes Vinol so efficient in curing
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
at the same time building up the
weakened, rundown system.
Try bottle of Vinol, with the un-
derstanding that your money will
be returned If it does not help you.

FORECASTS WEATHER
BY DUCK-BONE.

Lewis S. Smith, a veteran Of the
Civil War, whose forecasts of the
weather have rivalled in the minds of
friends at least the predictions of the
official Weather Bureau on calculation
from the breast bone of a wild black
duck, predicts that the first part of
the winter will be the coldest, with a
good bit of darkness following the
winter months, with snow and rain
and some fog.
He forecasts that there will be
chance for ice and that it will be a
late spring for farmers. From No.
vember 22nd to the 26th, cold wave,
after that it will be mild weather
from December 9th to the 18th, cold
wave also the 18th. From the 21st
to the 25th, warm wave. There will
be cold streaks through the last win
ter months. The weather sage, who
is a resident of Somers Point, also
warns US to look for a very cold spell
about December 18th.
