MINCE-PIE WILLIE SHOVELS SNOW With the Proceeds He Will Pur- chase a Diamond Ring, Which Will Surely Touch His Pretty Teacher’s Heart. DOES HE LOVE HER, WELL! Willlam Barney, the thirteen-y@ar-old midget whose all-consuming love for ‘bia pretty teacher, Miss Sadle Wolf, of No. 374 McDonough street, Brooklyn, ted to his wooing her with mince ples and silk garters, told the story of his interrupted romance to an Evening World reporter to-day. Willie was seen behind a small shovel hard at work cleaning the street in front of a store near nis home. When interrupted in his task and asked the story of his amorous ‘inclination, he struck a Chesterfleldian attitude and Sir, you see me now engaged in earning the wherewithal to pursue the inclinations of my heart. Bhe trun me down on the mince ples and the garters, but I will now buy her a diamond ring that will bring her to my arms. Does He Love Herf Well, Say! “Do I love her? Gee, I could Uck every kid in the neighborhood for one amfle from her fair lips. I could go up against Pop's rawhide for a touch of her hand. But, say, my heart 1s sore after the way she scorned me and brought me into that court on Gates avenue. Of course I was goin’ to shoot her, when she brushed me away as if IT was a baby without a heart, for I could not bear the thought of any other winnin’ her from me. I was des perate then, but now,” and Willle rubbed the expansive part of his knickerbockers thoughtfully, ‘I guess I'll try an’ win her by: gentle ways; by showin’ her that I would do deeds r, an’ work untill I drop in me tracks, A Five-Dollar Diamond, “I hope this snow lasts, for 1 get 6 cents a day for shovellin’, an’ J guess I can get her a good diamond zing for $5. Only nine more days,” and Willle | rolled up his eyes rapturously. “T tell you it's hard to be kept away from her school, but then it gives me a chance to work an’ earn enough to buy her that diamond ring, an' that'll keep me spirits up, “Say, that's all I can tell you now, for if I lay down on me job the boss may fire me,” and with a graceful bow, Willle went on wielding the shovel with all his infantile strength, At the home of Miss Wolf to-day the pretty young teacher's mother scouted the idea that Willie had fallen hope- lessly in love with her daughter. What! Willle a Pirate? Vay, that terrible lttle boy doesn't aw what love is,’ sald Mrs. Wolf, ‘To tell you the truth, I don’t think he ‘s right In his head, He was in a class of six and seven year old children, and he Is thirteen, He 1s nothing more ‘than irate, and the way he lorded it youngsters was a caution. | Why, he 8 a regular little highway- man.

Lester Carroll, fourteen, of No. 455 Fourteenth street, Brooklyn, {8 aying in the Norwegian Hospital from @ pistol shot wound in the left breast, in- fileted accldentally, it 1s said, by his cousin, Miss Elste Herron, twenty, the daughter of the keeper of Greenwood Cemetery. The doctors at the hospital to-day said that the boy was in a very serious condition and might die at any moment. Miss Herron met her cousin at ohurch and invited him to her home at the Fort Hamilton avenue entrance to the ceme- tery for dinner, They went to the house together, and after dinner she suggested an investigation of the gar- ret and other rooms of the hou! The police, who have statements from both Miss Herron and the boy, are making an investigation from which they hope to clear up any mystery which may now surround the case. According to Miss Herron’s first state- ment, she and the boy were rummag: Ing through the house when they came upon a revolver in a drawer of the gar- ret. Neither of them bdelleved it was loaded, and the boy sald: “Let mo see you snoot.” behind a door, “EM show you,” said the girl, as ehe pointed the revolver and pulled the trigger. Tho pistol failed to go off and that reassured her that it was empty, she sald, “You don't even know how to pull the trigger,” laughed the boy, as he poked his head from behind the door, She raised the weapon again, and that time it did go off and the boy sank to the floor with a groan, while she ran from the room calling for help. Another story 1s that the boy, in- stead of daring her to shoot, begged her not to polnt the pistol at him. This story has it that when Miss Herron found the weapon she said to the boy “I'll show you how It work: “No you won't,” erled the boy, taking refuge behind a closet door. “It isn't loaded.” , don't point tt at me, the boy pleaded. Miss Herron pulled the trigger and there was no explosion, Partly reassured the boy stuck his head out from the door and then there was a shot and the boy fell to the floor. ‘A doctor was called and seeing the wound was serious he sent the lad to the Norwegian Hospital and notified the police. Miss Herron was arrested and taken to the Parkville police station, After belng at the station an hour, all the time hysterical, the young wo- man’s relatives furnished bond for her appearance. Both familes are inclined to consider the shooting an accident, but the police are not eatisfed with the varying state- ments and to-day are trying tq straighten the matter out, An ante- mortem statement will be taken from the boy to-day if possible. Miss Herron was arraigned in the Flatbush Police Court to-day, where Magistrate Tighe held a conference with her, her father and her attorney, John J. Foley, before calling the case, An officer testifed that when he reached the house he asked the boy how he was shot, and that the boy had sald it was an accident “Have vou any complaint against thts young Woman?’ the Magistrate asked, “Not just now. “T will disonarge her, and if the boy ie He dodged It might foe of their counsel, i ther father refused to disouss the awe in any manner, LONG TERMS FOR BURGLARS Men Who Choked and Kobbed Rich Brooklyn Women Plead Gallty, Robert J, Ray gnd William Keenan, ex-convicts with long records, although neither Is yet chirty years of age, were wentenced to-day by Judge Crane in the Kings County Court to serve twenty- seven years each in Sing Sing for as- men were Killed and one fetally injured | to-day in @ freight wreck on the Wii- oad sault and burglary, Dec, t the pair pro) ¢ into the mo Breakfast size, 1.90 per doz, Dinner i “gious’ ath Bleached Damask, 68 inches wide. 70% per yard, Hemstitched Huckaback Towels, with damask ends, 21x40 inches, 3.00 per dozen.
