Baboon on the RAMPAGE,

A baboon which escaped from a
show at Dudley, Worcester, England,
attacked three people in the main
street of the town on a recent night,
and In the subsequent chase scaled
walls and reached the roofs of houses,
where it had to be shot. The animal
had been conveyed on the day of the
escape from the barracks at Lichfield,
the soldiers there parting with their
regimental pet, which had travelled
with them from Gibraltar. At the
show it was chained to the wall, but
during the evening wrenched itself
free, and knocking an attendant down,
rushed into the street, which was filled
with people. A boy was severely bit
ten on the leg, and had to be taken
to the hospital, and a woman and a
girl received lesser injuries. The ami
NAL, after being followed by an excit-
ed crowd, reached the roof of house,
and although 1t eagerly devoured the
fruit that was thrown, it showed fight
when its capture was attempted.

WHAT TO DO WITH THIS BOY
Case Of Juvenile criminaIlty In France
That May Well Puzzle the
Social Reformer.

Here is a little life story that, more
vfvidly Eliminates the task OF the So
cial reformer than any number of trea-
tises. A couple of nights ago a boy Of
less than fifteen was discovered along
side the Seine by couple Of police
men. At first he refused to utter
word, but eventually he narrated his
Odyssey. Eighteen months ago, when
he was barely thirteen, he surreptiti-
ously left his parents house In Paris,
taking with him a sum of 500 francs.
With this money in his possession he
went to Brussels, where he was short
ly after arrested. The police conduct
ed him home, but he escaped again.
Taken back a second time, he was APP
prenticed to a farmer, but promptly de-
parted on fresh adventures. Since then
he has existed by means of begging
and thieving. Two months ago he
stole a couple of bicycles, and, mount
ing one and propelling the other, made
off for Rouen, where he sold one of the
mahchines, riding to Paris on the 9TH
er. This he sold in Paris, and lived on
the proceeds for a time, Until, shelter
less and without resources, he was
found by the police. What can the
sociologist, the penologist, or the phi
lanthropist do with so youthful and
precocious criminal? The problem is
a serious one in France, where juve
nile crime is alarmingly on the in
crease.-Paris Correspondence London
