HOW COURTS SHIELD CRIMI- NALS. The Boston Transcript shows how the courts of Massachuseits operaie to the disadvantage of the people through indefensible delays. It a case In point as follows: “On September 3, last year, The Transcript commended a police court in Lynn for imposing a sentence of thirty days in the house of correction on a youth of nineteen convicted of ‘trespassing with Intent to steal’ It appeared that, with congenial asso- ciates, he had raided a pear orchard; when its owner had objected they hLadl peited him with his own fruit. Ife however, persisted in following the bamd until he overtook a policeman who arrested its leader. The tri owner then took the trouble to appear in court for the prosecution and there- by assist in securing this exemplary sentence. “That seemed like a t tri- umph. It was secured at a time when in all parts of the Metropolitan dis- tri were complaining of the : their fruit trees. Many I asserted that it was use- less to plant or care for them, sin he could enjoy nome of their fruit. ed him of that privi lege last moment. and it seemed practically impossible to catch them without his sitting up night to try to do so. In these circum- stances the sentencing of the Lynn marauder would have proved whole- some had it meantmanyth what has happened to him? year has passed and his case has been ‘eontirued.’ He has suffered no pen- alty whatever, and those who are well informed assert that he never will suffer any. His punishment has con- risted in going to the trouble of get- ting his mother to furnish a $200 bond 14 his appearance in the superior tourt and then in employing an attor- ney to defend him. In such a case, the sentence imposed by the lower tourt merely represented an aspira- tion om the part of the magistrate, without body, substance or effect. Honest and law-abiding citizens can be robbed and Insulted, and then find ¥ impossible to bring to justice the {:w-dzfylng and robber gangs who fest their premises. Under such tircumstances as this the court is pro- moting rather than checking petty thisving and rowdyism.

The ice cream with two spoous nev- er will go out of favor, MAKING GOOD. The news that the postal receipts are increasing, and that the present vear promises to nearly wipe out the deficit made last year in this depart- ment is most encouraging. A des- patch from Washington says that Postmaster General Hitchcock has re- turned to the secretary of the treas- ury another million dollars of the amount set”apart from the public funds to assist in defrayving expenses of the postal service. 'This makes a total of $5,000,000 thus returned since January 1. The postmaster general is confident that the financial returns covering the operations of the pres- ent fiscal year will show a reduction of more than $10.000,000 in the total annual deficit, which amounted in 1909 to $17,500,000. The latest amount re- turned leaves the deficit in the cur- rent fiscal vear only $5,500,000, as compared with $14,500,000 last year. With a parcels post within fair lim- its, the postoffice department could double its revenue and save millions to the people. The country needs a parcels pést just twice as much as it needs postal savings banks, and it will yield an immediate revenue instead of adding to the deficit SUSTAINING ARBO.R.EAL BEAUTY The beauty of many cities is largely due to trees along the streets, and too few are putting in a new tree when they take down an old one. It is questionable if any city in the country takes better care of its trees than the city of Worcester, which h had a skilful forester in charge f« more than a quarter of a century, man who loves trees and can reports of them that are as a write interest- ing as a popular novel and as edifying as an essay upon art from compe- tent hands.

To begin with, S a people have learned something of .our national faults as well as' of r > The summer day was full of the hay- ing; the frasrance of the new-mown grass was everywhere on the breath of the hot June air and floated in to Ra- chel Everts as she rolled pie crust by the north pantry window; there was the steady burring sound of the mow- ing machine at work in the lower lot, and the sharp, quick noise of the one- horse tedder shaking out the crop cut yesterday. Miss Rachel crossed the wide, cool kitchen and stepped out onto the back porch a minute, shading her eyes with a floury hand. as she looked off over the Everts fields and watched the men at work; they were her fields and thg ng was her crop. A straight, alert, little woman she was, her calicogown was trim and the gingham apron ample, the soft, gray hair waved back from her forehead and her face was young with a light of love that had never ceased to trust. The neighborhood said Rachel Everts had loved Tom Langdor and that when he went away to seek the fortune of his dreams she had turned firmly from the men who would have wooded her heart, and Kept it whole for him. If that were so, it was a tale of a score of years ago; and Rachel was now mistr £ the farm that had been her father's and none knew certainly what was fortune Tom‘ Langdon had won mnor how he had fared in the winning. A tiny fidure, topped by -a huge, white sun-bonnet, came over the patch of green by the back porch: sq tiny a figure that Miss Rachel, her mind on the haying, did not notice its coming. But it put a resolute foot on the door- stone and made known its wants. “I'm orful fursty Land sakes! late iss Rachel The small being nodded.

It was Tom Langdon, older and with a seamed face that told its own tale of privation and pain; he stood looking up at them and a rare smile broke quickly as he spoke: “Just the same Rachel!” ‘he said. Miss Rachel put her hand on the baby’s soft curls. “Your little boy was thirsty,” she said, slowly, and the old sweet smell of the hay seemed to stifle her words. “Bless the little lad; he must have come up from the farm. 1 came last night to leave Tom with my brother for a spell. His mother is dead.” the man spoke dispassionately of the wo- man. Little Tom had a hand tight on Miss Rachel's finger. “T want to stay here,” he said, deci- sively Rachel Everts knelt down and put her arms around the little lad, Some- thing _had stopped im her life, and was as if it lay buried beneath the fresh, resi earth: a tender, living thing that had burned in her heart and brought | the richness Of each day that had been since Tom Langdon went away 20 years ago. want to stay here!” repeated little Tom.
