Police Court Chronicles

A shiny half-doilar spoiled the Christi
mas cheer of Cole johnson and Bert
Young. They are aggressive negroes
ready TO fight at the drop Of the hat.
1t was this Characteristic that brought
both to the attention Of Policeman Pat
terson at 86th and Market streets. He
found them in tight embrace and man
aged to separate them after each had
damaged the others features to an
alarming extent.
When the combatants were arrajgned
before Magistrate Harris, at the S2d
street and Woodland avenue station,
they felt gloomy until they spied half
dollar on the station house floor. Each

TNIIB practice OF presenting Christmas
i gifts to teachers, common among the
school children of Philadelphia for a
half century, will be discouraged this
year by the educational authorities. An
nouncement to this effect was made to-
day by DIR. John p, CARRIER, superintend.
ent of Schools
mo definite order on the subject has
been issued to the teachers" said Doc
tor CARRIER today at his offices in the
Stock Exchange Building. I'm fact
there is no rule Of the Board Of Educa-
ton or any State law specifically dealing
with such question. It is generally un-
derstood, however, that the custom is to
be discouraged.
Unfortunately, there are children In
the elementary grades who cannot afford
TO buy even the LEAST expensive sort of
n gift. There are families In Philadl-
phia where money can be spent far more
wisely and economically on food and
clothing than in trinkets for teachers.
II is n fact, too, that the child who has
the smallest financial means Is often the
pupil who is most anxious to express his
kindly feeling for the instructor In a con-
crete way
"Of course, n teacher cannot grace
fully refuse a gift after 1t has been placed
on his or her desk. Some cities, ! have
been told, have gone so far as to absolute
ly forbid the acceptance of presents from
school children. We prefer to indicate to
tho public that the practice Is not to be
encouraged here"
In spite of Doctor CARRIERS policy,
articles of remarkably Wide variety
have begun to pour into the cassroOms
and the teachers homes.

recipient of live turkey. Many hun
dreds of handkerchiefs are a part OF the

On hearing the charge against the men
the Judge was inclined to be lenlent and
discharged both. But when they heard
the glad news the negroes fell to the
floor and reached for the half-dollar at
the same time. Their heads bumped and
dull thuds resounded as fists and jaws
came in contact. A policeman Jumped
between them and stood them up before
the Judge again.
"I'm surprised" said the Judge, land
its very evident that you don't appreci-
ate freedom"
johnson said he was simply "reachin'
for his half-dollar," and Young declared
that It was his.
This time I'm n witness in my own

the message heard by the Americans

of the New England Society of Penn

that 1t was the fault of Americans, who
were themselves continually finding fault
with their native land and its institu-

birth had dared be SO disloyal as they
have.
Senator Lewis urged that the right to
vote be made n duty and that suffrage be
taken from men who did not show by the
