For the Children

A Little Musician and a Big, Big Bass. Boys and girls will surely be nmnsed at the comical picture of a Uttle mite of a girl playing on the double bass tuba. That is. she looks as though she were playing, but It Is extremely doubtful if she bad breath enough ta fill that vast horn. As Is seen. It is larger than herself, though she seems to hold tt without difficulty. Appar cntly she Is making a brave effort to extract music from Its profound depths. But the truth Is she rang in the Instrument, and what a queer lot of sounds she must have produced. Her childish treble, broadened and deepened, passing through the tnbn. doubtless delighted all those fortunate enough to bear tt. The little girl ta the daughter of an English bandsman, and the picture was taken at the na tlonal band festival held not Ions ago at the Crystal palace In London. Story of a Tame Bear. Tom is the name of a big tame bear which Is owned by a Pennsylvania farmer. The benr has a pen between the house and barn, and a long chain fastened to bis collar lets him play all around the pen. One moonlight night the farmer was awakened by a great growling and rattling of the chain. Looking out of the window and seeing nothing, he shouted to Tom to keep quiet, but Just then Tom broke bis chain, ran to the barnyard fence and quickly climbed it. The farmer palled on his clothes and ran out to the barnyard and found Tom trying to make a wild bear drop a sheep which be had stolen from the yard. The sheep was bleating and kicking in the bear's paws and Tom was dancing around the thief, cuffing him aud doing bis utmost to bead him off. The wild bear dodged to the right and left and then suddenly dropped on all fours, seized the sheep by the neck with his teeth and started to drag It along the ground. Tom sprang upon his back at once and bit him in the neck, and then the wild benr let go the sheep and gave battle to Tom. During the fight the farmer ran to the barn and got an ax, but for a long time he bad no chance to use the weapon. Finally be saw his chance and buried it in the wild bear's neck, and Tom then easily finished him. Problems With Forty-five, now can 45 be divided into four such parts that.

Washington today made his irst eom-jject from many members of council, plete denial of allegations made j Williams said he saw one little fellow against him by Mr. and Mrs. Ulrich of ; apparently about nine years old. the 11 west 63rd street. He denied that , other day and asked him why he was he followed or spoke to a white worn-i not in school. The urchin declared: an. He said nobody passed him in ! "Aw I's don't like de teacher See the hallway of the apartment house.! I don't wanta go to school." He said he was- looking for a family j Williams said he noticed a great whose name he did not distinctly re-! many children of this age on the member after having destroyed the streets, and running up and down alletter which suggested he might find leys during school time and claimed Auditor Smith at their home. He did that the truant officer is neglecting not peep through a keyhole, he said, j his duties. but merely scrutinized the names on j Today, Superintendent Mott, of the the mailboxes. L'lrleh's trial is sched- j public schools said he had no knowluled for this afternoon. Washington ; edge that children were staying out

denied the report that he would not prosecute. James I. Moore, attorney for Urlich j announced today .that when the charge of asault. which had been lodged against his client was called this afternoon, he would have a new and important witnees. "This man is a chauffeur," said Mr. Moore. "It will be remembered that after Ulrich's wife had told him that Washington had addressed her, saying 'Hello, Sweetheart,' Ulrich went outside, stood across the street and watched the negro in the vestibule of the apartment house. "Well, the chauffeur who is employed in a garage at 63rd street and Broadway, had noticed a negro acting suspiciously in front of No. 11 and he stood watching him, without knowing Ulrich was also on guard. "The chauffeur will corroborate a large part of Ulrich's testimony. When the trouble took place the chauffeur ran over and witnessed it. He Is an important witness for my client." Mr. Moore also intimated he had a number of witnesses who would gwear that the negro in the vestibule of the building was playing the part of a "peeping Tom." The racial question is being brought to tho fore as a result of Dr. Washington's case and the police are keeping close watch to prevent any outbreak. Thus far no disorder has been reported, but patrolmen in districts where both whites and negroes mingle have been ordered to be on the alert. Capt. James Thompson of the West 65th street station received the following letter: "To the captain: It is a fine state of affairs when a respectable man cannot, defend nis wite against a ne gro. We will see that Policeman Tierney is dismissed. (Signed) "Tenants of No. 11 West 63rd street." Capt. Thompson said he believed tho letter was written by a crank. FOR THE CRIMINALS Texas Probation Plan Has Proved a Success. (American News Service? San Antonio, Tex., March 21. No movement for the betterment of the criminal classes in Texas has grown so rapidly as that of the probation plan for youths. Heretofore it has been the custom when a boy or girl was arrested charged with some crime to throw them into jail along with hard ened criminals. Since the investiga tion of penitentiaries two years ago showing the deplorable condition in the various penal institutions, Senator Weinert of Seguin, who was chairman of the senatorial section of the committee making investigations has been untiring In his efforts for a parole and probation law. He stood for this with determination of the man who believes in everything that will trend toward an uplift for humanity, and a law recently passed by the late legislature was due in a great measure to his efforts. This enactment is a long step toward reformation of criimnal classes and many of the cities of this state are preparing to make the most of it by providing a probation system for youthful criminals. El Paso has taken a step to provide an uplift for young offenders in that city. County Judge, E. S. J. Eylar, of El Paso, has appointed three probation officers for the juvenile court. Adjutant John Howard, of the Salvation Army will care for the white youths; Rev. C. R. Womeldorf, a Presbyterian missionary will look after the Mexican boys, and Rev. H. R. Wilson, pastor of the negro Babtist church, will attend to the offenders of his race. Hereafter when a boy is charged with crime he will be placed in the charge of the probation officer instead of being locked in jail! with hardened criminals. Many of the cities of this state will soon have a similar system in operation. JAP ASSOCIATION IS QUITE ACTIVE (American News Service) Tokio, March 21.

A meeting of the association will be held this week.
