SET PETTY THIEF TO WORK
Scheme of Dorchester (Mass.) Judge
That Seems to Have Much to
Recommend II.

A Dorchester boy of twenty years
was convicted before Judge Sullivan
Of the municipal court of Boston, of
stealing from a store laces valued at
$73.OS. The judge fined him SIS and
told him he must go to work and earn
the money and pay the fine at the
rate Of So a week. The boy has never
worked. and he may have one hard
life for a time to get the 81 a week,
but at that the Judge was lenient
with him, as he might have sent him
to jail or made him pay fine equal
to the value of the goods he stole 1t
is the opinion of many judges that
the work fine is the winner for keep
ing petty thieves and some other
criminals out of the crooked ways.
Work is harsh word for the boy who
has never done it and sometimes it
sounds even worse to boys who have
Numbered along at listless jobs. But
il is a great corrector of evil if &c is
applied enough of the time to keep
the criminal mind busy at the legiti
mate. Worcester Telegram.
