Callfor Reformatory.
(Union Republican.)
The importance of a need is us
ually governed entirely by the
force of a demand. This is especU
ally true as regards an institu
tion that our State as yet can
not be proud of, although some
preparation has been made for
it. We refer to the much tnlkprl

of offenders of tender age that,
in every locality, appear before

Some Amailng Things in History. '
(Charlotte Fews.)
Some days ago the News spoke
of the picture of the man whose
face adorns the newly-issued ten
dollar Treasury notes, and asked
'who was Michael Hillegas?" de
scribed by a line under his por
trait on the notes as being "The
First Treasurer of the United
States."
The Boston Herald throws
light on the question asked when
it says: "This recognition of a
man whose personal worth and
service to ins country nave oeen

The Wrong Wa
One day Charlie and papa took
a trip to Aunt Jennie's larm,
which was 200 miles away Irom
Charlie's home, and the boy was
wild with delight at the anticipa
ted lone car ride and novel expe
iences. After they were comfort.

to puff out of the station Charlie's
papa said: Now, son, I'm going
to be awav iust a few minutes. I
have to see the baggageman.

You sit where you are and don t
move a bit; if you do I'll spank
you. Don't stick your head out
of the window; you will have trou
ble if you do. Be a good boy or
I'll
Charlie nodded, his head and
sat as still as a mouse. -
The father went away; found
his man: attended to his business
and returned : within five min
utes. ,
There was the boy with just his
feet and the seat of his trousers
left in the car. the rest of h i m
hancine out of the window; Ev
ery time a telegraph pole whizzed
bv the boy would make a lunge
for it, and he almost fell all the
wav out trying to catch it,
The father did not hesitate
long. He made a grab for t h e
child, pulled him in by the heels,
laid him over his knee and began
to fulfill his promise. The little
fellow screamed and yelled unti'
he almost drownded the noise of
the train; but during the lull in
the uproar the father heard a
laueh. behind him. He angerly
turned to eee the cause, when,
seated quitely two benches In the
rear, he saw his son Charlie laugh
ing heartily over the plight of the
I other boy. l -
His father rubbed bis eyes to
dispel the illusion, but there was
no mistaken Charlie. Then he
ooked at the boy on Wb lap. Be
hind the tears was a face that he
had never seen before. He h a d
spanked some other man's son!
