Continued from page l

VI houocS oSdiu. Every ychE lueTo is
more or less of these depredations and
1t Is high time the children were pun
ished. Usually they are taken before
the Mayor, who releases them. In one
instance 1t was a girl of less than ten
years of age who entered the home Of
A. K. Blinn, e. Montgomery avenue,
by forcing a window one afternoon
while Mrs. BlInn was out. A sum of
money was taken and bureau drawers
were emptied on the floor and things
turned upside down all through the
house. A girl by the name of Simp-
kins Is said to have committed the Of
Tense. Just this week a vacant house
on Central avenue In North Wildwood
was entered by boys, curtains were
cut, and damage done to the furniture
and the contents of the house turned
topsy-turvy. The house is the one be-
tween the Leathwhite and Bowers
properties. This is pure devilishness
and the strong hand of the law should
be laid upon the offenders.
