This same little cherub, a few minutes after the above oc curred, tried his hand again and struck another boy with an oyster shell, but he did not escape the clutches of his victim, who gave him a gentle hug and a thump, whereat the sweet little cherub staned for home yelling for all he was worth, to tell hi mother of the bad boy who had been "messing ' with him. This is a bad habit, and the crime for crime it is, should be broken up by the city ordinance against it. and the offender punished by line.
