WHISTLED WAY INTO COURT.
Ada Bentley, 9 Years Old, Was Ac-
cused of Warbling at Man.
"A whistling woman and a crowing hen
Will never come to a good end."
"A whistling girl and a bleating sheep
The very best property man can keep."
Take your choice. Both proverbs may occasionally come true.
Ada Bentley whistles. Neighbors who testified against her in the juvenile court yesterday said she whistled at men. But Ada, looking at Judge McCune with her clear eyes, said she was only whistling for practice, although, like every other feminine, she seemed pleased because others were jealous of he attractions.
Ada lives at 2216 Holmes street. With Albert, her brother, she was in court on complaints of neighbors. Her mother was a good lawyer, but she made a mistake when she told that her oldest daughter, 17, was a piano player in a mutoscope show. Judge McCune said he would look further into the case, especially as concerns the girl who plays. Ada, with the whistle, stands to get an early discharge. She is said to be 9 years of age, but looks older.
