Noted Judge
New York. April 20.-Boys whose

this country's courts Of justice have

The number of candidates for
penal institutions is increasing r. By
thousands every year, And after a
certain period--thcy say. the very
early twenties, they never reform.
Some of them are mental defec-
tiyes. some subnornaI. some abnor-

thoroughly bad. And some are VIC

"Unti these classes are separated

wave at the arm in the window. Re-
Gently they investigated and found the
girl helpless, with her parents unable
to assist her
Over the Illinois division the train
men passed the word and a fund w; 5
subscribed. The trainmen named two
committees, one from Champaign, the
other from Centralia In the afternoon
one Of the trains she had waved at
for years stopped 100 yards from her
window.
While she could not see the delega-
ton the trainmen unloaded from tie
baggage car a high wheel chair, a
wonderful robe, a large blanket, house
slippers and a number of other gifts
The girl had just begun to realize her
Joys when another train stopped and
another delegation, the one from Cen,
tralia, placed at her disposal 4 fund
which trainmen will supervise while
she is receiving medical attention
