NEW YORK, .Ian. "i. ? There's a
difference in views of New York ami
Philadelphia police magistrates.
Yesterday a Philadelphia aia?;istrat
surrendered a ! '.)-y ear-old offender to
the mercy or horror of his mother's
slipper, but the New York official
took another tack as is testified to
by the following:
"Your mother charges you with '
being a bad boy. How old are you?"
asked Magistrate Furlong in the
-dales awnue court. Brooklyn.
"Twenty-one years." replied Fretl
erlck Harding.
"Then you are not a bad boy, but
may be a bad man. What is the
trouble?"
Wants to Shake Gang.
"Hanging out with a bad gaug:"
"Can't you shake the Rang?"
"No."
"If you really want help you may
hare it. What can I do for you?"
"Send me to the workhouse."
"You'll find a new Rang there just
as bad as your old gang."
"No new Rang will ever get me if 1
get away from the old gang."
"What will you do when you come
out?"
"Get a Job anil try to be a man."
Fixes Own Sentence.
"Fix your own sentence. How
long do you want?"
"Six months, plea.-*-."
"Well, I'll give you six months. If
you use your time on Blackwell's
Island to improve your mind and cor
rect your habits you will find it nr.
good a school a* ther<' Is. Vouns
m?'u find evil companions in th< ? best
of colleges, so let no one con vine
you that you can't reform on Mack
well's Isiand." >
Harding thanked the magistrate,
and was tak?'n away to commence
his college course. ? Philadelphia

WE GAVE THEM
II LONG IE
In a news article relating the warm
welcome given the Skagwa.v bowlers
at Whitehorse, which appeared in
yesterday's Alaskan, we stated that
they had been given a sleigh ride to
the Conrad copper mines and return.
We were not aware at the time that
we wore establishing a record for
>ross country sleigh rides. A kind
friend informed us of our mistake and
i look at the map of the Yukon con
? incrd us that, while the bowlers
might have been taken to Conrad,
they could not have made the roundf
trip in the allotted time limit.
Of course the sleigh ride was to
the Copper King mines about four
miles from Whitehorse. Haste and
i not overly profound knowledge of
the geography of the Yukon was re
sponsible for the error. We crave
the indulgence of all concerned and
?specially of our esteemed contempo
rary, Stroller White.
"Mistakes will happen."

EGGS-MT
Eggs were few and far between in
Skagway this morning, and had it
not been for the timely arrival of the
Cottage City with a good supply of
hen fruit a good many people in the
town would have been compelled to
eliminate this article of food from
their diet. The Cottage brought up a
big consignment of eggs for the local
grocers and meat dealers and the
danger of a shortage is past.
HEGG HAD SMOOTH TRIP
The Hegg, with Capt. Pete Miylsen
and Jack Chambers aboard, made the
trip to Haines and return yesterday
and It was the smoothest voyage
made by the Hegg for some weeks.

McLean, J. H. Watson and Capt.
Laurldson came up from Haines in
the Hegg. Mr. Martin and Mr. Mc
intosh were taken over to Dyea in
the Hegg.
