A Practical Farmer.

Boating is no doubt good thing when
judiciously indulged in, but an old gen.
tleman residing in Detroit, the Free
Press says, whose son was n member of
one of the winning crews at the Toledo
regatta, has rather conservative notions
concerning the muscular art. On Sun
day the following dialogue occurred be-
tween the father and son:
Father-My boy, how much did you
weigh when you began to train tor this
regatta
Son-One hundred and sixty pounds.
Father-And you pulled at 145 pounds
didn't you2
Son-Yes; worked down to that
beautifully.
Father-And how much is that badge
worth that you won down there2
Son-Don't know exactly, but think
I heard some of the fellers say they cost
1927 apiece.
Father-Um 1927. Now then, if
you'll work off the same amount of flesh
next season by saving wood I'll give you
a badge worth just worth four times as
much as that one, and an order on my
tailor for the best suit of clothes you can
find.
The young gentleman intimated that
he guessed he would take little run
down to the boat house.

In English Courts.

A recent English case of extreme cru
city, passing under the guise of justice,
has been much commented on in the
papers on both sides of the Atlantic.
There seemed to be something peculiarly
revolving In the circumstance that lit
tie girl of thirteen, who had plucked a
geranium- bud in an almshouse garden,
should be sentenced to Imprisonment
for fortnight in Jail, and for four years
longer in penal institution all too mild
ly termed reformatory. But, as
matter of fact, severe sentences such as
this are by no means rarely pronounced
from the benches occupied by the cum
paid magistracy" of England. Justice,
in the hands of the gentlemen who are
called upon to administer punishment to
petty offenders in the English rural dis
tricts, is especially stern with those who
in any way invade the sacred rights of
"property." Theft or trespass, in their
eyes, is too apt to be regarded rs worse
than wife beating, or slander, than per-
jury or murderous assault. Such SEN
tences as that accorded to poor little
Sarah Chandler are far from being rs
uncommon rs the conspicuousness of her
case would imply: The very same
clergyman who sought, in his capacity as
"jail-bird," because she plucked n
flower, sentenced, not long ago, small
boy scarcely out of his pinafores to
prison for u month, because he scraped
the leavings of discarded tobacco cask,
and sold his scraps for half-penny !;
and condemned a young servant girl to
six weeks in Jail for putting some photo
graphs, which she found in waste
paper basket in the house where she
served, into her pocket to show to some
friends. Not long ago sixteen fishermen
and women, living on the Northumbrian
coast, were cast into Jail for month for
picking up mLssels on the shore, with
which to bait their hooks. It was an
audacious assault upon the property
rights of the squire whose estates ran to
the waters edge and the clergymen
and squires who administered the law
without pay in that region could not let
the fragrant defiance of the rights of
property pass. In Essex three very
reputable and not disorderly lads, aged
about sixteen, sailed out for IN after
noon walk. In crossing the fields they
came to brook n grassy knoll on its
banks tempted them, and they threw
themselves upon it and began to read
some books they had brought with them.
Suddenly up rode the owner of the field
on horseback, and roughly demanded
their names. Soon after they had re-
turned home they were taken in charge
by a policeman, brought before the
magistrates, accused of trespass, and
heavily fined. A little girl Of thirteen
was recently condemned at Dorchester
to twenty-one days imprisonment ut
hard labor" and five years in re-
formatory, for stealing an earthen milk
jug. 1t turned out that the Jug, which
was cracked, had been given to the girl
without authority by servant. The
supposed thief, too, was ascertained to
have the best character tor honestly

A Treasury Incident.

The Washington Chronicle contains
tho following A rather suspicious cir
cumstance occurred in the printing
bureau of the Treasury department,
which resulted in the dis m issal of
the principal actress. 1t appears that
one of the young lady employees was
passing from one room to another, when
four five-dollar notes fell from the folds
of her dress, to which they had acci-
dentally adhered, or in which they had
been concealed. Two other Young
ladies engaged in the same room, who
were following almost in her footsteps,
observed the notes fall and picked them
up. The fact being reported to the
chief of the division, he confronted the
unlucky girl and demanded an explana-
tion of the circumstance. She asserted
her innocence of any guilty knowledge
of the money being about her person,
and stated that she believed it must
have stuck to her dress as she brushed
by the tables on which the notes lay
piled, previous to the accident. Although
the belief was generally entertained by
the attaches of the bureau that the girls
story was truthful, the rigid rules of the
Office required her dismissal as warming
against tho recurrence of similar mis-
haps.

the stairs two at time, leaping from
the landing into the parlor, and taking
Aunt Pamela and Belle into one hearty
embrace. IL was noticeable that Belle
found no fault with this lack of dignity,
nor found Jack too demonstrative.

said that ardent young lover. "Belle is
