SMALL BOY PROBLEM

One of the most serious oroblema

with which the police have to deal, it is said, is the Question of what to

do with the small boy. Every day the police are besieged with complaints, and still more complaints, and In ev

end, following ud the comrlalnt of

residents in the north end last week, have registered a kick at headauarters

In discussing the horsewhipping, Mr. and Mrs. Engelbert both said) that

their son denied sitting on the divan

in the Bass parlor and meekly taking

the beating. According to Mrs. Englebert. her son says that he may have

apologized to them, but that he did so

in order to free himself. - He was in

such a weakened condition as a result

of his whipping, according to the fam

ily, that he grasped at the last chance

to be relieved of farther nain and suf

fering. Mrs. Englebert says that her

son saKl be did not get on his knees

and abjectly beg for pardon and apol

ogize.

Mr. Englebert said that Elsworth

face Is still scratched ud. Prosecutor

Comparisons Are Odious. "Ob, dear." lamented a lady on her return from a fashionable reception, "I have made such a terrible blunder! Lady X. introduced me to an artist, and, trying to be clever, I commenced to air a theory I have read aboutthat it Is impossible for an artist to avoid drawing faces more or less like his own. This artist disagreed very politely, but I wouldn't give in and finally told him bis own drawings proved it. I have discovered since that he draws nothing but pigs and sheep!" London Tatler.
