"The recent disturbances around the court house yard have brought us face , to . face with Juvenile erfmo nnin i Juvenile crime Is different, not only In r extent and degree from adult crime but also has In almost all casesdeveloped from the "gang." Authorities on juvenile crime agree that the juvenile criminal except In rare cases has no predisposition to crime and needs only proper influ ences for his development into good ciuiensnip. ir there were nothing else to prove this It would have ample grounds for belief in the wonderful results which Judge Lindsey of Den ver has brought about. Judge Lindsey of Denver has done more for the Juvenile crime In this land than any other man. Ills court Is based on the parole system, and he brings things to pass by putting the boy on his honor. The boys know that the "Judge Is on the square." And when at last the boy has to go to the industrial school he promises the Judge that he win go and he does. Any boy who breaks his promise to the judge is a social outcast among his friends. And this is the reason. The judge treats the boys not as criminals but as boys. While he saves them from the police methods he also impresses oa them that if they abuse the privileges they get at his court, there will be no more privileges for them, it works.:"';" "'" Judge Lindsey recognizes that the chief cause of crime is not the gang, but the lack of things for the gang to do. He recognizes that the treatment for Juvenile crime Is honor and consideration and that the preventing is living the boy something; to do. The

judge hunts up employment and amusement for his boys. And so there is less juvenile crime in Denver than ever before In the place of the former petty thievery and devilment Old fashioned persons will smile at this method of the judge. The boy

they say should be put in Jail. "That will teach him a lesson," say they. Yes It will teach him several les sons the first of them being to train him for the criminal class. At his Impressionable age the effect of being treated as a criminal gives an ele ment of heroism like that of his dime novels. It encourages rather than dls courages. , Furthermore 'to throw a young boy with ne'er do wells and criminals Is to furnish him with capable tutors In all branches of crime. What the boy needs is not punish ment but Instruction. What he needs is not confinement but employment We do not in the present instance of the Court House gang excuse them on the "boys will hn hnvs" thrv bometbing must be done. Bnt let us be sure that when we act in the case that we act for the better, not for the worse. Let us make the "kids" into real citizens not Into criminals. THE PHILIPPINES. Do we in this country really believe In a square deal? Or are we content merely when we are getting along alright. It is one thing to demand a square deal for ones self and to be indifferent when the case has to do with other people. Take the case of the Philippines. The Philippines have every right to just such favors as we have given Porto Rico. And yet we have granted to Porto Rico free trade with this coun try and imposed a tariff on the prod ucts of our far eastern possessions. Is that a square deal? We have spent much money on the t-nmppines schools, roads, etc. The Philippines appreciate all these things, but they say what is good government, education, transportation and develop ment if we can not make enough money to live on. They look at Porto Rico with Justly envious eyes and the comparison does not help the sit uation. The Islands are aware of the splendid services of Taft and they look forward with delight to his elec lion as President of the United States. They at last see a ray of hope. Already the best citizens of the Philippines have commenced a petition to Congress which has already a hundred thousand signatures. The petition sets forth the discrimination between the two possessions of this country. It Is not strong enough to say that this is unfair. It means trouble for us later on if we do not grant this petition. We shall stand in a much better light by granting it voluntarily. Both Roosevelt and Taft have favored this subject of free trade for the Philippines. And we sincerely trust that the Republican voters will pledge their congressmen to adequate action on the matter. We hope that Taft will have the gratification of signing the bill in which, as in all other matters pertaining to the welfare of the Philippines, he is so sincerely interested. MEN IN AUTO KILLED BY TRAIN So Badly Mutilated They Can not Be Recognized. Philadelphia. Pa., July SI. Two men In an automobile were Instantly killed last night at the Hunting Park avenue crossing of the Reading Railway by by an express train bound into the city. Tho automobile was struck in the center and demolished, while the re mains of the two men were scattered along the station platform. They were so badly mangled that it Is doubtful If the bodies can be posl tlvely identified. It was impossible to find enough of the automobile Intact to gain any de scription of it.

OUTLAW LOVER uin or Prominent Family in East,. Found With Desperate Horse Thief. CAUGHT AFTER A FIGHT. ULMER GAVE BATTLE WITH A LARGE KNIFE PRETTY TWEN TY-YEAR-OLD AFFINITY WEPT BITTERLY. New York, July 31. After a desper ate fight in the woods near Flemington, N. J., Deputy Sheriffs arrested Bert Ulmer, a notorious horse thief, who had been terrorizing upper New Jersey and Pennsylvania for several years. As they overpowered him at the door of a deserted old barn, they found within the place Miss Mabel Able, a pretty twenty-year-old girl, member of one of the most prominent families of Hunterdon county. "Yea, I've been living with him in the woods for a month." she said. "I love him, and I'll make you send me to jail with him. I helped him to es cape and I'll do it again if I have a chance. That's the kind of a girl I am." Ulmer, who was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in the Eastern penitentiary at Philadelphia, a year and a half ago, was transferredwhen he feigned Insanity, to the Insane asy lum at Norristown. suss ADie, tne authorities now learn, helped him to escape from there by sending him a duplicate key to his cell door concealed In a plug of to bacco. Then, when he got away, she joined him near Flemington, and they took to the woods together. The two were boy and girl sweet hearts before Ulmer went wrong. He began to steal horses to raise money to marry her, she says. Shortly after Ulmer's escape from Norristown, the girl vanished from her home at Flemington and the police figured that she had gone to meet her sweetheart and that they would not go very far away. A systematic search was begun and this morning a deputy sheriff caught sight of Ulmer carrying a bucket of water into a ruined barn. He summoned aid and returned. This time Ulmer saw him and, whipping out a knife, put up fight. Only the officers' .revolvers induced him to give up. Miss Able wept bitterly when she and Ulmer were brought Into the town. She said they had lived in a cave before taking to the barn and she had been very happy. " 0DD USE7 F0R FISH- " One Make a Good Barometer, Another Weathercock. Fishes have been put to many queer uses while ptill alive, but probably the strangest was that suggested to the war department by an Inventor. The propulsion of submarine torpedoes was the .subject under discussion, and he proposed that a shark be imprisoned In a tube at the rear end of the projectile, its movements to be controlled by the active application of electricity. In case the shark attempted to swim away it was to be given an electric shock and in this way kept on its course until the torpedo had reached its target Another remarkable use to which a fish has been put is as a barometer. The leach is very susceptible to atmos pheric changes, and when retained in an aquarium is likely to throw itself out at the approach of or during any remarkable change of wind or weather, or If In a pond or stream will sometimes Jump on the bank. It has been kept alive in aquaria as a living ba rometer from the supposition that cer tain movements indicate nartimlAr changes that are about to occur in the weather. In Russia the dead bodv of Cottus gobio, the miller's thumb, is used as a weathercock. Hung by a single thread, It will point to the direc tion whence the wind blows. Minneapolis Journal. MULES OF MEXICO. They Are Even More Knowing Than Our Own Meek Brand. "Evervbodv knows that nil mnt I are brainy, but the mules of old Mexico have something on other mules for a sort of prescience of their own," said a man who has spent many years in the neighboring republic. "A Mexican I mule will do Just so much work and not a blamed bit more. "The riding mule, for instance, Is fully aware of the distance, down to a rod, he is supposed and required to traverse in the progress of one traveling day, and all the sharp sticks or goads or dynamite on earth won't get him to do a bit more than what he knows to be the correct distance. The Mexicans have got a peculiar saying In connection with this characteristic of the Mexican mule. You ask a Mexican, for Instance, how far it Is by mule back to such and such a point " Two days' Journey if you are not rushed, but three days if you- are in a hurry, the Mexican will reply. "His meaning Is that if you don't ask more of your mule than you should ask of him, the mule will be able to make the trip In two days. But if you attempt to drive the brute hell soldier on you, and in consequence the Journey will take you three days. Exchange. An you say it took that artist two months to paint this little picture?"

Graydon Bansemer lounged there In blissful contemplation of a roseate fate, all the more enjoyable because bis very ease was the counterpoise of doubt and uncertainty. No word of love had passed between the mistress of the web and her loyal victim. But eyes and blood bad translated the mysterious, voiceless language of the heart into the simplest of sentences. They loved and they knew It. After leaving Rigby at the club Oraydon drove to the north side, thrilled to the marrow with the prophecies of the night. Ills heart was In that little room off the library and had been there for months. It was the abode of his thoughts. The stars out above the cold, glittering lake danced merrily for him as he whirled up the Drive. The white carpet of February crinkled and creaked with the chill of the air, but his heart was hot and safe and sure. He knew that she knew what he was coming for that night the first kiss! Jane's face was warm; her eyes bad the tender glow of Joy expectant; her voice was soft with the promise of coming surrender. Their hands met and clasped as she stood to welcome him in the red, seductive dimness of the little throneroom. His tall frame quivered; his lean, powerful, young face betrayed the hunger of his heart; his voice turned husky. It was not as he had planned, ner beauty her mere presence swept him past the preliminary fears and doubts. His handclasp tightened, and his face drew resistlessly to hers. Then their hands went sud denly cold. You know, don't yon, Jane, darling V he murmured. Yes," she answered after a moment softly, securely. lie crushed her in his strong arms. All the world seemed to have closed in about her. Her eyes. suffused with happiness, looked sweetly into his until she closed them with the coming of the first kiss. "I love you oh, I love you!" she whispered. I worship you, Jane!" he responded. "I have always worshiped you!" It was all so natural, so normal. The love that had been silent from the first had spoken, that was all had put Into words its untold story. "Jane, I am the proudest being in the world!" he said, neither knew how long afterward, for neither thought of time. They were sitting on the couch in the corner, their turbulent hearts at rest "To think, after all, that such a beautiful being as you can be mine forever! It's why, it's inconceivable!" You were sure of me all the time. Graydon," she remonstrated. "I tried to hide It, but I couldn't Yon must have thought me a perfect fool all these months." "You are very much mistaken. If you please. You did hide it so successfully at times that I was sick with uncertainty." "Well, If s all over now," she smiled. And he sighed with a great relief. "All over but the the wedding," he said. "Oh, that's a long way off. Let's not worry over that, Graydon." "A long way off? Nonsense! I won't wait." "Won't?" "I should have said can't Let's see. This is February. March, dearest?" "Graydon, you are so much younger than I thought A girl simply cannot be hurried through a an engagement. Next winter." "Next what? That's nearly a year, Jane. It's absurd! I'm ready." "I know. It's mighty noble of you too. But I Just can't, dearest No one ever does." "Don't don't you think I'm prepared to take care of you?" he said, straightening up a bit She looked at his strong figure and into his earnest eyes and laughed so adorably that his resentment was only passing. "I can't give you a home like this," he explained. "But you know IH give you the best I have all my life." You can't help succeeding, Grayaon" BQe B,d arnestly. "Every one aays that of you. I'm not afraid. ITS' not thinking of that It Isn't the house I care for. It's the home. You must let me choose the day." "I suppose it's customary, he said at last "Jane is the month for brides, let me remind you." "Before you came this evening I had decided on January next but now I am willing to" "Oh, you decided before I came, eh?" laughingly. "Certainly," she said unbmshingly. "Just as you had decided on the early spring. But listen, dear. I am willing to say 'September of this year." "One, two, three seven months. They seem like years, Jane. You won't say June?" "Please, please let me have some of the perquisites, she pleaded. "It hasnt seemed at all like a proposal. I've really been cheated of that you must remember, dear. Let me say at least as they all do, that 111 give you an answer In- three days.' "Granted! 111 admit ft wasn't the sort of proposal one reads about in novels" "But it was precisely as they are in real) life, I'm sure. No one has a stereotyped proposal any more. The men always take ft for granted and begin planning "things before a girl can say

Ttodd. Mead S3L Company "Ah. I see rt nas happened to you." he said. Jealous at once. "Well, Isn't that the way men do nowadays?" she demanded. "A fellow has to feel reasonably sure, I dare say, before he takes a chance. No one wants to be refused, you know," he admitted. "Oh. by the way, I brought this er this ring up with me, Jane." "You darling!" she cried as the ring Bllpped down over her finger. And then for the next hour they planned, and the future seemed a thousandfold brighter than the present glorious as it was. "You can't help succeeding," she repeated, "the same as your father has. Isnt he wonderful? Oa. Graydon. I'm so proud of youf she cried enthusiastically. "I can never be the man that the governor la," said Graydon'loyally. "I couldn't be as big as father if I lived to be 120. He's the best ever! He's done everything for me, Jane," the son went on warmly. "Why, he even left dear old New York and came to Chicago for my sake, dear. It's the place for a young man, he says, and he gave up a great practice so that we might be here together. Of course he could succeed anywhere. Wasn't it bully of him to come to Chicago Just just for me?" "Yes. Oh, if you'll only be as good looking as he is when you are fiftyflver she said so plaintively that he laughed aloud. "You'll probably be very fat and very bald by that time." "And very healthy, if that can make It seem more horrible to you," he add- " worshtp you, Jane!9 ed. For some time he sat pondering while she stared reflectively into the fire opposite. Then, sauarine his shoul ders as if preparing for a trying task, he announced firmly: "I suppose I'd just as well see your father tonight dearest He likes me, I'm sure, and I I don't think he'll refuse to let me have you. Do you?" "My dad's Just as fair as yours, Gray," she said, with a smile. "He's upstairs in his den. I'll go to mother. I know she'll be happy oh, so happy T Bansemer found David Cable In his room upstairs, his smoking and thinking room, as he called It "Come in, Graydon. Don't stop to knock. How - are you? Cigarette? Take a cigar, then. Bad night outside. Isn't it?" "Is it? I hadn't er noticed." said Graydon, dropping into a chair and nervously nipping the end from a cigar. "Have you been downtown?" "Yes. Just got in a few minutes ago. The road expects to do a lot of work west his year, and I've been talking with the ways and means gentlemen a polite and parliamentary way to put it" "I suppose well all be congratulating you after the annual election, Mr. Cable?" "Oh. that's Just talk, my boy. Wlnemann Is the logical man for president But where is Jane?" "She's ah downstairs, I think," said the tall young man, puffing vigorously. "I came up or to see you about Jane, Mr. Cable. I have asked her to be my wife, sir." For a full minute the keen eyes of the older man, sharpened by strife and experience, looked straight Into the earnest gray eyes of the young man who now stood across the room with tls'hand on the mantelpiece. Cable's cigar was held poised In his fingers, half way to his lips. Graydon Bansemer felt that the man aged a year In that brief moment "You know, Graydon, I love Jane myself," said Cable at last arising slowly. His voice shook. "I know, Mr. Cable. She is everything to you. And yet I have come to ask you to give her to me." "It Isn't that I have not suspected aye, known what the outcome would be," said the other mechanically. "She win marry, I know. It is right that she should. It is right that she should marry you, my boy. You you do love her?" He asked the question almost fiercely. "With all my soul, Mr. Cable. She loves me. I don't know how to convince you that my whole life will be given to her happiness. I am sure I can" "I know. It's all right my boy. It it costs a good deal to let her go, but I'd rather give her to you than to any man I've ever known. I believe In you. Thank you, Mr. Cable," said Graydon Bansemer. Two strong hands clasped each other, and there was no mistaking the Integrity of the grasp. ZB&t ifciia--ntw-i whfet Iaj'a

mother is far iore deeply concerned than I." added the older man. "She likes you. my boy. I know that to be true, but we must both abide by her wishes. If she has not retired" "June is with her, Mr. Cable. She knows by this time." 'She is eoailng." Mrs. Cable's light footsteps were heard crossing the hall, and an instant later Bansemer was holding oien the den door for her to enter. He had a fleeting glimpse of Jane as that tall young woman turned down the stairway. Frances Cable's face was white and drawn, aud her eyes were wet Her husband started forward as she extended her hand to him. He clasped them in his own and looked down iuto her face with the deepest tenderness and wlstfulness In his own. Her body swayed suddenly, and his expression changod to one of surprise and alarm. "Don't don't mind, dear." he said hoarsely. "It had to come. Sit down, do. There. Good Lord. Frances, if you cry now I'll 111 go all to smash r He sat down abruptly on the arm of the big leather chair Into which she had sunk limply. Something seemed to choke him, and his fingers went nervously to his collar. Before them stood the straight strong figure of the man who was to hare Jane forever. xseitner of them nor Jane knew what Frances Cable had suffered during the last hour. She accidentally had heard the words which passed between tne lovers in the den downstairs. She was prepared when Jane came to her with the news later on, but that prep aration had cost her more than any of tnem ever could know. Lying back in a chair after she had almost crept to her room, she stared white faced and frightened at the cell lng until It became peopled with her wretched thoughts. All along she had seen what was coming. The end was inevitable. Love as it grew for them had known no regard for her misery. She could not have prevented Its growth; she could not bow frustrate Its culmination, and yet as she sat there and stared Into the past and the future she knew that it was left for her to drink of the cup which they were fill Ing-Mbe cup of their Joy and of her bitterness. Fear of exposure at the hand of Graydon 'Ban seiner's father had kept ner purposely blind to the inevitable. Her woman's intuition long since had convinced her that Graydon was not like his father. She knew him to be honorable, noble, fair and worthy. Ixmg and often had she wondered at James Bansemers design In permitting his son to go to the extreme point In relation with Jane. As she sat there and suffered it came to her that the man perhaps had a purpose after alien unfathomable, selfish design which none could forestall. She knew him for all that he was. In that knowledge she felt a slight timid sense of power. He stood for honor so far as. his son was concerned. In fair play she could ex pose him if he sought to expose ber. But all conjectures, all fears, paled Into Insignificance, with the one great terror1 what would James Bansemer do in the end? What would ho. do at the last minute to prevent the mar riage of his son and this child of un known parentage? What was to be bis tribute to the final scene In the drama? She knew that he was tightening his obnoxious colls about her all the time. Even now she could feel his band upon her arm, could bear his sibilant whis per. Now she found herself face to face with the crisis of all these. years. Her only hop lay in the thought that neither could afford the scandal of an open declaration. Bansemer was merciless, and be was no foot Knowing Graydon to be the son of a scoundrel, she could under ordinary circumstances have forbidden her daughter to marry him. In this instance she could not say him nay. The venom of James Bansemer in that event woald have no measure of pity. In her heart she prayed that death might come to her aid in the destruction of James Bansemer. It was not until she beard Graydon coming up the stairs that the solution flashed into ber brain. If Jane became the wife of this cherished son James Banseraer's power was gone! His lips would be sealed forever. She laughed aloud In the frenzy of hope. She laughed to think what a fool she would have been to forbid the marriage. The marriage? Her salvation! Jane found her almost hysterical, trembling like a leaf. She was obliged to confess that she had heard part of their conversation below In order to account for her manner. When Jane confided to her ttat she had promised to marry Graydon in September or J ace she urged her to avoid a long engagement She could say no more than that Now she sat limp before the two men, a wan smile straying from one to the other, exhausted by her suppressed emotions. Suddenly, without s word, she held out her band to Graydon. In V" deepest soul she loved this manly, strong hearted young fellow. She knew, after all, he was worthy of the best woman In the land. "You know?" cried Graydon, clasping her hand, his eyes glistening. "Jane has told you? And you you think me worthy T' "Yes, Graydon you are worthy." She looked long into his eyes, searching for a trace of the malevolence that glowed in those of his father. They were fair and honest and sweet and she smiled to herself. . She wondered what his mother had been like. "Then I may have her?" he cried. She looked up at her husband, and he nodded his head. "Our little girt," be murmured. It all cam back to her like a flash. Her deception, her Imposition, her years of stealth and she shuddered. Her hand trembled, and her eyes grew wide with xpugnanco as they turned again upon Gravdon Bajosemet .Both men drew

back In amazement' "Oh. no; it cannot, cannot be!" she moaned, without taking her eyes from Gray don's face. In the same instant she recovered herself and craved his pardon. "I am distressed it Is so hard to give her up, Graydon. she panted, smiling again. The thought bad corns suddenly to her that James Bansemer had a very strong purpose In letting his son marry Jane Cable, She never had ceased to believe that Bansemer knew the parents of the child she had adopted. It had dawned upon her in the flash of that moment that the marriage might mean a great deal to this calculating father. "David, won't you leave us for a few minutes? There is something I want to say to Graydon." David Cable hesitated for an Instant and then slowly left the room, closing the door behind him. He waa strangely puzzled over that momentary exposition of emotion on the part of his wife. He was a man of the world, and he knew its rices from the dregs np, but it was many days before the startling suspicion struck in to explain ber uncalled for display of feeling. It did not strike in until after be noticed that James Bansemer was paying marked attention to his wife. Left alone with Graydon, Mrs. Cable nervously hurried to the point She was determined to satisfy herself that the son did not share her secret with his father. "Does your father know that you want to marry Jane?" she asked. "Of course er I mean he suspects, Mrs. Cable. n has teased me not a little, you know. I'm going to tell him tonight" "He has not known Jans very long, you know." "Long enough to admire her above all others. He has often told m that she is the finest girl he's ever met Oh, I'm sure father will be pleased, Mrs, Cable."

"I met your father in New York, of course years ago. I presume - he has told you." "I think not Oh, yes; X beHsre bo did tell me after we met you at Hooley's that night He had never- Men Mr. Cable.
