BOGGS GETS HIS SENTENCE.
Throe Years aixl Grant WIiIiiw-TIip
Italian Drew the Line.
Sheriff Driver went below this morn
ing, taking Lewis Boggs to the peniten
tiary, where he has three years to eerve.
We understand it is his second term,
and that he looks forward hopefully to
the time when he will be again free,
He expieBes a determination to earn as
many credits as possible, and so shorten
his sentence, and insists that as soon us
he is free he will marry the widow of his
choice. Some other fellow will be in
luck if she waits for Boggs, und he seems
to think she wiil. There are some men
60 constituted that nothing seems to
appall them ; who possess, in the highest
degree, a species of moral or immoral
bravery that permits them to face situa
tions that would drive men of different
mold insane. Boggs is u remarkable ex
ample of this kind. lie not only faces
three years in the penitentiary manfully,
but looks forward with pleasurable an
ticipations to long years thereafter with
a hay-widow and a hay mow full of
children.
Other minds cannot contemplate
future conditions with the same com
placency, the same hope, simply be
cause they look upon the small side of
things. A story told of an unfortunate
Italian who was convicted of theft illus
trates this trait. His case wub rather a
pathetic one, the theft having been
committed to appease the demands of u
vigorous and full grown appetite. The
judge, in passing sentence, felt that the
circumstances were extenuating, and in
the generosity of his judicial heart gave
the prisoner three years. He also
threw in a lectuie. He said: "The
court feel's for you ; how much you no
doubt realize. The court feels that you
were urged on to the commission of the
crime of stealing something to eat by
the remorseless pangs of gnawing hun
ger. That between your spinal column
and the lining of your vest was a vast
aching void. The law fixes the penalty
for your offense at from one to three
years, leaving the matter of time to the
discretion of the judge. The peniten
tiary fare is good, the working hours
short, and the society much better than
that on tho outside, The court there
tore deals with you generously, and
gives you the full limit. It also hopes
that when you come out, you will follow
some honest avocation, and if you can
find nothing else, the court will see thut
you are furnished with a hand-organ
and a monkoy.
The prisoner, who had worn a broad
smile during the announcing of the sen
tence, turned pale beneath his swart
skin, and starting to his feet, with one
hand thrown upward in the very aban
donment of despair, be sobbed : "Judge,
I stands ze tre year, and I stands ze
hard work, but, judge, I no stands zo
d d monkey."
