THE SNOW OF AGE.

mo snow falls lighter thar the snow
of age; but none is heavier, for it never
melts."
The figure is by ne means novel, but
the closing part of the sentence is new
as we'll az emphatic. The scriptures rep
resent age by the almond tree, which
bears blossoms of the purest white.
"The almond tree shall fourish"-the
head shall be hoary. Dickens says of
one of his characters, whose hair was
turning gray, that "it looked as if time
had lightly splashed his SHOWS upon its
passage"

grows older as he sings. He may read

that alchemy which is able to make him
young, but signing brings it not. He
may gaze backward with an eye of long,

as one who gazes on his home from the

THURMAN.
A sketch Of HI. Life and Public Career,

sketch Of His Life and Public Career
Judge Thurman is a Virginian of Vir'
vinians. He was born in Lynchburg in
1918. in the sixth generation of Virgin
ian born ancestors. For over two hun
dred years the Thurmans had held stout
places in the Old Dominion, discussing
for more than a century with the sturdi'
ness Of well .to.do farmers the rights Of
the young colony and urging the causes
of complaint that led to the Revolution.
Judge Thurman's grandfather fought in
the Revolution, and his mother came of
a distinguished Revolutionary stock,
Judge Thurman, however, has none OF
the characteristics of the Virginian. He
left the State of his birth when he was
only six years old, and, growing up IN
the West, he has become a perfect type
of the straight. forward, ar.headed,
Etronp-hearted Westerner. Unlike Pen.
dleto5. who has retained much of the
polish and daintiness of the East, Judge
Thurman is plain in dress and manner
almost to the point Of Carelessness, A
fine contrast is often afforded in the
Senate when he and Rosco Conkling
take snuff from the same snuff box-two
civilizations meeting, as it were in a
common sneeze Barring the red ban
danna handkerchief, which has become
a part of American history, there is moth
ing about Judge Thurman to break the
monotony of the darkish, close fitting
suit in which he is always attired. Met
on the avenue he would be taken for the
shookeeper or Squire of a small Wes-
tern town, or a farmer of a rural district
of Ohio,
1t must not be imagined, however, that
Judge Thurman lacks culture. On the
contrary he is one of the most thorough
scholars in public life in this country.
Always a student, he became early in
life a great lawyer, and since then has
devoted much time to lighter study.
He is a fine French scholar, and his ia
yorite books are the works of the earlier
French dramatists, which he reads in
the original. He has an unusually large
and we'll selected library, both in Wash
ington and in Ohio, and there are few
books in the range of polite literature
that he is not familiar with. He has a
literal genius for mathematics, and fire.
quently occupies himself in working out
the most abtruse and intricate problems,
He says he is prouder of his knowledge
of mathematics than he is of anything
else. He had no collegiate training and
has no diploma save the certificate of a
grammar school.

beyond any measure that can be made
in dollars and cents. We have expend-
ed hundreds OF thousands OF dollars for
the benefit of thieves and murderers
in the erection of penitentiary, thus
taxing the honest labor and capital Of
the country for the benefit Of criminals.
Let the money be expended in the edu-
cation of the people, and it will be a
better appropriation, and prevent more
crime than such institutions" These
and like expressions from the speeches
and messages of the great minds of
the State in the past might be repeated

to utilize to the best advantage the

the people of the State, must in few
