"Kangaroo Courts" Instituted by

What it really Vtftodtil for ll explained
by a jM?st otllce inspector who has had
much experience with offenders and
< riinlnuls.
It api>eara that in a number of the
larger prisons in this country tho pris
oners, from time to time, are aceus
. tomed to hold what .they call kangaroo
court, and that every notorious crim
inal In tho United States Is probably
not only lumlllai- with tho term, but
has no doubt presided often enough
as Judge or prosecuting attorney in
lids relation, or perhaps has been tried
for some of tho numerous mock
charges that are preferred against
those who have the misfortune to be
haled before such a tribunal.
Such a court Is held only In the
great prlsoug of the country, being
entirely unkuown lit the country Jail*.
The institution of kangaroo court
Seems to date back some 10 years In
the United States.
In the days when Australia was it
penal colony the convict6 at Bbtauy
Hay, by way of amusing themselves
and relieving the monotony of prison.
life, used to organise a sort of mock
court at which the slnvwdest m>d oft
en the worst criminals of the lot pre
sided as Judge, while others ficted as
Jurymen, prosecuting attorneys, bail
iffs, criers and tho like.
At such trials the prisoners were
Wont to take on recent arrivals from
England on all manner of mock
charges, such as snoring too londly,
washing their faces with soap, and so
on. If it was found that among the
batch of new-comers, convicts just
from the old country, there were sev
' era! who possessed money, court was
immediately convened and the ones
suspected of having funds wen* haled
up on the charge of having red hair or
wearing box-toed shoes.
The trial was held with mock gravi
ty and decorum, and in the end the
prisoner would be found guilty and
tlned whatever amount he was known
to have on his pcrsou for tlje offense
charged. Tho money thus obtained
would be divided among the old, long
term convicts, who would buy tobacco
and other luxuries with it, while the
victim of this form of extortion would
have no recourse except to await the
time when he himself got a change "to
preside as Judge or sit 011 the Jury
at the trial .of some new arrival.
It was culled kangaroo court because
in those days the Botany Hay convicts
spoke of themselves as kangaroos, an
animal very abundant, as everybody
knows, in Australia.
Tho institution, as well as the term,
traveled from Australia to England,
whither It was brought by returning
Botany Bay convicts, whose terms had
expired. It had a short life In Eng
land, however, where it was s|K?edlly
discovered by tho Jailers and turnkeys
and broken up; but It was not long
afterward that it found Its way.Into
the prisons of the United States, where
it has remained ever since.
Girl Advertises for "Dates."
An advertisement which, the adver
tising department of Columbia unlver
site's daily newspaper, Kj*eet?tor, says
is the legtlmate appeal of a young
woman, appeared recently in the pub
lication as follows:
"Are you bound by convention? A
Columbia girl from out of town, cul
tured, well bred and fairly good look
ing, wishes to make the acquaintance
of Severn 1 men in order to be intro
duced at Columbia functions. She is
entirely unconventional and is willing
to meet the men half way by paying
all '^expenses. Strictly confidential.
Address H 30, Spectator."
The students who publish Spectator,
the New York World says, profess ig
norance of the identity of the young
woman or whether the number 30 had
any reference to the age or figure of
the advertiser.
Hundreds of masculine students are
awaiting replies from her. the adver
tisement having been well answered.
First Sight of a Pig.
Along the hard, dry, wind-swept road
in a suburb came a drove of pigs?a
most unusual spectacle in London of
recent years. From the by-streets the
children of the poor came hurrying to

CLEVELAND SIX
The Notable New Six
It's the Cleveland Six. Not really new, either, for the factory
began deliveries last Summer and since then the Cleveland has gone
out over the country into the hands of thousands of owners. And
these owners say they are delighted with it. There is every good
reason why they should be delighted with it. For the Cleveland
Six is really an extraordinary car.
We cannot tell you how good the
Cleveland Six is. You must ride in
it and drive it to know.
This experience will convince you
of the power and pick-up and speed
and flexibility of this exclusive Cleve
land-built motor.
It will convince you of the comfort
of the car, contributed to so much by
the low undcrslung spring construc
tion and the wide soft seat cushions.
You will be amazed at the ease of
handling your Cleveland, how lightly
it steers and shifts, and at the instant
positive action of its brakes.
There isn't any other light car
that will give you so much of all
that you wish, and at such a fair price.
Come let us show you what a car
the Cleveland is
