a stern talking to. OF course, he was
terrified and promised by all that was
good and holy never to do it again. That
was to be expected. But the main thing
was that | found. after a while, that he
wasn't vicious kid at all. He was just
mischievous and had been allowed to run
loose too much He didn't need the re-
form school. He needed home training.
So l sent for his mother and father.
They came, wringing their lands and
protesting that they had tried to raise

you?' / asked. Did you ever try whip
ping him.
HE started to reply, but before he
could get word out his wife answered
for him. I'D just like to see him try

voice Il suppose you're going to lock
him UP and send him off to the reform
school, just for breaking one cheap little
old window-and him a mere baby, too"

who got scared at the size of his own

Il was member of this same precinct
when it happened. but l was just ser

but | remember il if it were yeste1-
day. There was a negro who ran an
eating house down on 9TH street Who
made fairly good money and who saved
it all, rarely spending cent except
when he absolutely had to. One day a
book agent came along with biz
Bible illustrated with pictures in about
thirty-seven different colors. Tom-thal
was the negros name-couldn't resist
that Bible, so he bought 1t.
Then he decided that the book would
be pretty good place to keep his money
He didn't trust banks and besides he
liked to have the coin where he could
count it over every now and then. ST
he got his wealth changed into big bills
and stuck them-they amounted to soms
S46S-between the leaves of his new pur-
chase.
Now Tom had a young negro named
Harry working for him. Harry was also
deeply religious. He also wanted a Bible
but he couldn't afford to buy one. So h
decided to steal Toms

rushing UP to me, SO worried he was
almost white.
