OF BOYS ARRESTED-SOCIETY,
THE BOYS?
1,4O2 criminal cases 514 were dis
charged.
The fact that such a lerge percen-
tage could not be held on the evil
dence did not alter the other fact
that those boys were arrested and by
being arrested we ermade criminals,
for the boy who has been once ar
rested, even though found not guilty,
will be arrested on as slight or even
slighteT suspicion the next time.
And it is left entirely to chance
whether the boy picked up because
he was out late at night, or because
of some other thing that wouldn't
have been noticed nor considered a
crime ten years ago, is let go or
whether he is found guilty because it
depends upon whether the man sit
ting on the bench is mere legal ma
chine or whether he retains in his
heart a memory of his own boyhOod
days and can see behind the act to
the cause.
If he is a wise judge he understands
that many of these boys have never
had a chance to be anything but what
they are. Many of them haven't
even a home-they sleep wherever
they can; many of them go hungry
for days at a time; many of them
have a mental development far below
their age, and for society to make
them what they are and to provide
no means to help them to better
life and then to punish them is not
only inhuman, but is mighty blind
justice, for the boy knows Just how

WHO is TO BLAME FOR NUMBER
THE LAW OR
BY Jane Whitaker
Every once in a while a cry goes
up that we are showing too much
leniency to first offenders. A boy
who was released upon his first
Offensei is found to have committed
a more serious crime the next time
and press and public clamOr for first
convictions, with the blind idea that
if the boy guilty of his first offense
had been sent. to some institution,
some school of crime, for many in
situations are only that, he wouldn't
have been guilty of the second crime.
But we never hear in opposition to
that cry for punishment of first Of
tenders a protest against the mania
for making laws that embrace al
most every boyish prank and many
things that are not even pranke and
label them crimes.
Recently in the boys court two
lads were brought in, arrested late
Saturday night and kept in Jail over
Sunday, because the officer had
found them on the street late at
night and hadn't been satisfied with
the stories they told.
From March Is, 1914, to March 1,
1915, there was total of 1884 boys
brought into the boys court. The
charges upon which many of these
boys were arrested were farcicaL Of
1886 preliminary cases.711 were dis
charged and 829 bound over to the
grand jury; of 6,596 quasi-criminal
cases which consist Of city ordinance

HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS

Christmas originally Cristes masse ("the mass
or church festival Of ChrstO, is the English
name for the season In which the birth Of Christ
Is commemorated. 1t is apparent, however. that
g festival was celebrated at this season long be-
fore It was held sacred as the birthday Of Jesus
Of Nazareth. The Saturnalia Of the Romans and
the winter festival OF the heahen Brtons were
both celebrated about December %; and later,
the Roman festival in honor Of the sun god,

day became to be known as the Birthday OF the

anniversary OF Christs birth, this name was

red apple in his mouth, which, alas! he could
never eat, and garnished him with holly.
AT last the company came, the mistress pre-
serving calm exterior, but with an inward
anxiety lest something be burned or spilled at the
last moment.
When all is ready the beaming host says.
Friends will thee join us in the Christmas
feast?" And with great dignity he leads them,
with the guest Of honor on his arm, followed by
the older people and the children.
The Table Decorated.
The table is a picture to cheer the hungry.
The large turkey is at Cne end and the pig at
the other end of the long table, with everything
they are to eat between, excepting the plum
pudding.
After the silent grace which stills the noise
for moment, the carver takes his knife, and
with deliberation born Of steady nerves carves
under the fire of twenty pairs Of eyes.
The directions In "Gentlewoman's House
wifery" says Raise the leg fairly Of the tur
key and open the Joint with the point Of the
knife, but do not take of the leg
Then lace down both sides Of the breat bone
and open the breast pinion but do not take 1t
of. Then raise the Merry Thought between the
breast bone and the top Of it," and so on till
the turkey is boned While this is being done
the Christmas bowl is passed
After they are helped to turkey and pig they
pass the vegetables and delicacies, and even the
mince pie is eaten when they have the desire
for It,
The Correct Manners.
The proper conventions are strictly adhered
to. The book of etiquette says; "A gentewom.
an must not lean her elbows on the table, nor by
ravenous gesture discover voracious appe-
tite, nor talk with her mouth full, nor smack her
lips like pig
The children were kept in order In all the
feast was decorous, but merry for all that.
At last, when they have eaten to the extent Of
their capacity the plum pudding, blazing and
with piece Of holly stuck in the top, is brought
in and eaten with brandy sauce Then the toasts
are drunk with the good homebrewed wine, and
the feast is done.

Westerner buoyantly. "I'll do the

A choking sound came from the
throat of the Westerner. He turned
aside and reached under his robe. 1t

belt bulging with gold.

He was grinning like a schoolboy
at the gyrations OF mechanical
clown. His blum hearty laugh seemed
to come straight from his heart. His
long white whiskers, Dearskin coat,
merry eyes and full-round figure
suggested the veritable Kris Kringle
TO at.
Men, women and children were all
smiles as they looked him over, but
too polite to linger and embarrass
him. The proprietor OF the store, OBJ
serving the slight halt in the passing
procession, beckoned to the stranger.

The Westerner smiled queerly. I'll

Directed by a lad from the store,
he was piloted to the Moody mansion,
admitted and shown into room of
the main parlor, where a Christmas
tree stood, loaded and ablaze.
All around 1t the hired Sanity gazed
keenly, almost eagerly. He appeared
to be scanning the various framed por-
traits on the wall and seemed disap-
pointed, as il in that inspection he
missed something he had expected to
find.
A servant came and helped him on
with his costume, directing him in
what he should do when the children
entered the festal room. An admir-
able Sanity he made. He went through
his part in a merry heartsome way,
then quietly slipped out through
the side door and proceeded down the
street. He seemed to have been over
the ground before, for he reached his
destination by pursuing lanes and by
ways where he would not be observed
in the costume he still retained.
