Talcott, Mar-j vin Talcott, Vernon Greer, Margaret ' Tiny Thieves Frail Donny, much younger-appearing than 13 years, persister in believing that the clever little gad gets attractively displayed on open counters in stores were placed there so that he might choose what he wished and carry it off without pay ing for it. The scene of his first petty thiev ery was a hardware store. Placed on probation by the juvenile court, he made little progress because he was unable to comprehend the serious ness of his offense and the meaning of probation. Four weeks later he had changed the setting for his pilfering to a chain grocery store. The "big broth er" under whose charge Donny had been placed, was called into court, then, and told that he seemed not to be accomplishing much with his tiny ward. He promised to devote more time to the little fellow, see that he attended Sunday school, and try to teach him the difference be tween right and wrong. But in spite of all his efforts, Donny again "shop-lifted" small items, this time from a dime store. "Big brother" had been successful with other delinquent boys, but he could bring about no improvement in Donny; why, we do not know. To sentence to the industrial school such a helpless, innocent-appearing lad seemed unnecessarily harsh. We summoned the father and Thomas Walling Company ' Abstracts of Title Phone 324 - Plattsmouth mother, who had been called in prev iously, and emphasized our state ment that if they could not assist! in taking care cf their son, we would j be compelled to place him in an in-j stitution for adoption. We also summoned two merchants who had complained of children's petty thieving and suggested that they take some responsibility for the continued presence in their business houses of little fellows having no definite missions. It was within their authority to question these tots, we said, and finding they had no er rands, to see that they left the shops. Five-and-ten, as well as other chain stores, arrange their wares in an enticing manner upon flat-top counters within easy reach of child ren. Boys as old as ten years have been known to slip several objects in their pockets, and, undetected, walk out of the building. Unwittingly the stores are contrib uting to childhood's temptation to steal. If the small-item dealers would encase the fronts and ends of their counters with glass so that children just out of swaddling clothes could not reach over them and remove the bright - colored knick - knacks with which most of them are loaded, there would be fewer tiny thieves.
