AMERICAN JUSTICE.
A .story-of a judge's decision in the Western States of, America" is,vouched for by the correspondent of an English paper who is', generally accepted as in .the maini adhering to the truth. A maii of 21 embezzled 5000 dollars and sent it "flying high." He confessed in court. The judge might have put him in prison for a period covering the flower of his manhood. But the court pronounced this sentence: "You shall stay at home nights; you shall .remain within the limits of this country; you shall not play billiards or pool, frequent cafes, or drink intoxicating liquor; and you Shall go immediately to work, and keep at it until you have paid back every dollar you stole; violate these terms and you go to prison." It sounds like a busy time for the probation officer.
