We quote the following from a speech
by Emory A. StOrrs, on this subject:
1t is idle to point out a mischief, either
IN government or in morals, without
in some way suggesting a remedy; and
think am safe in saying that thought
ful men Of all political parties are day
by day reaching the conclusion that the
State owes a duty to itself and to all its
citizens to correct the evils which grow
out Of large ignorant population, by its
own action, and not to leave the qUes-
ton Of the enlightenment and education
of the youth OF the country to the IN
disciplined and uncontrolled will of the
parent, but to take the matter into its
own hands, and by some method en-
force compulsory education. The State
can much better afford by taxation to
pay for the education of all children
within its borders than it can afford to
pay for the punishment Of crimes, the
direct OutgrOWth and result Of an ignOr-
ance which the State might in a great
measure prevent. A school system Of
which all the children in the State
might not only be permitted to avail
themselves, but of which all should be
S1AAA tt1AAGNA " dHdLAL ElEA4AGGAHG1g WOuAA
within the period Of at least one genera
ton work out an improvement which
no appeals to individual pride or pat
riOtism could possibly accomplish. There
are in every community large numbers
of men whom such appeals will not
reach, and with whom arguments of
such a character will have no force.
The freedom of which we boast is not
the freedom to shut our eyes against the
light. The privilege Of ignorance is not
freedom, it is a license; and genuine
liberty is not license, but it is that kind
of liberty 50 regulated by law that the
citizen enjoying it is protected in all his
personal rights Of life and property, is
compelled to respect the enjoyment Of
all those rights in all other citizens, and
is prohibited from pursuing any course
which would imperil the enjoyment Of
those rights in others. I think it may
be safely assumed that if the State has
the right to punish crime after it has
once been committed, it has also the
right to prevent the commission Of
crime altogether If it could do this
and if the education Of our people, COM
pulsOry or otherwise, can be regarded as
one Of the means by which the commits
sion Of crime is to be prevented, it Is
not only the privilege, but it is the duty
which the State owes to all its laW-abid-
ing citizens to employ those means,

DeteetiHe,s Story.

There 15 a story told OF lady and gen
tleman travelling together on an English
railroad. They were strangers to each
other. Suddenly the gentleman said:
" Madam, I viii trouble you to look
out Of the window for a few minutes L
am going to make some changes III my
wearing apparel." "
Certainly, sir, she replied with
great pOliteness, rising and turning her
back upon him. In a short time he
said
Now, Madam, my change is com
pleted, and you may resume your seat. "
When the lady turned she beheld her
male companion transformed into dash
ing lady with a heavy vel over her face.
"NOW, sir, OF madam, whichever
you are" said the lady, 81 mU
trouble you to look out Of the window,
for I also have some changes to make IN
my apparel. "
'' Certainly, madam, and the gentle
man In lady's attire Immediately COM
piled.
Now, sir, you may resume your
seat.
To his great surprise, on resuming his
seat, the gentleman IN female attire
found his lady companion Transformed
into a man. He laughed and said =
&c It appears that we are both anxious
to escape recognition. What have yOu
done ? Ihave robbed q bank F"

dexterously fettered his companions

Amusing Court.Room Incidents.

The following amusing examination
recently occurred in a courtroom IL one
of the bluegrass counties Of Kentucky
Gen. H., a prominent lawyer Of that re
giOn, was defending prisoner charged
with horse-stealing and the witness was
swearing as to the identity Of the stolen
horse.
Gen. H.-How do you knowthis s -, 3,
same horse?
Witness hesitating)-Well, I tRzt
know it Is.
Gen. H.-Well, how?
Witness-I can't tell exactly how; but
I know it as well as know you, Gen.
H
Gen. H.-Well, how do you know that
I am Gen. II. D.?
Witness-Because, just before dinner,
I heard Mr.. c. say, "Gen. H., let's go
and take drink, and you went.
The identity was satisfactory to the
bluegrass jury.
A lawyer in Bridgeport, Ct, who has,
perhaps, the largest professional prac-
tice in the vicinity, Is very fond Of inter-
larding his pleadings with the phrase,
81 your HOnOTs please" Not long ago,
in a case before the Superior Court, he
addressed the jury as follows: And
will you, gentlemen, sit calmly by and
see this wrong perpetrated upon my
client? God forbid that such injustice
should be done God fOrbid-if your
HonOrs please r'
His conception Of the will of the Al
mighty depending upon that of the
Judges of the Superior Court Of the State
of Connecticut is a little unique
Hqrper'8 Draa0er.

A Bond Of Sympathy,

A man with grip-sack in his hand
halted before a Detroit fruit-stand and
priced a choice variety Of peaches.
When told they were 20 cents a dozen
he Whistled to himself, walked softly
around, and finally asked
Are you a Baptist ? "
Hardly"
Neither ami. I didn't know but that
if we both belonged to the same denomi-
nation you'd throw Of little. Do you
lean on the MethOdists ? q"
" Can't say that I do"
That's my case. I never did take
much stock in the Methodists. Twenty
cents q dozen Is an awful price on those
peaches, considering how tight money is.
1 expect you are a UniYersalist, chi"
q" No"
Neither am I. Can't you say Is
cents for q dozen Of these?
Hardly"
Aren't you an EpiscOpalian?"
No, Eir."
" Neither am I, but I was afraid You
were. I've been q sort o. loOkin' You
over, and I shouldn't wonder if you
trained with the United Brethren.
Come, now, own up.
"I never attend that church, - was the
steady reply.
Nor 1, either. Say, what are you,
anyhow 2 "
81 I'm q hard-baked old sinner"
No ! Whoop That's my case to
dot I'm called the wickedest man in
Washtenaw county I knew there was
bond Of sympathy between Us, if we
could only find it out Now, do you
say Is cents a dozen 3"
The fruit dealer counted them out
without a further objection.

The Modern Young Lady at Two Peri
DDS Of Her Life.
Behold her at II.

DDS Of Her Life.
Behold her at II.
Her limbs unfettered by the long
skirts Of conventiOnality, she runs, she
romps, she slides on the ice-ponds, she
rolls hoop, she climbs fences, she leaps,
she kicks, she runs races and is as feet
Of foot as the boys. Her appetite is
good, her cheeks rosy, and her move
ments unconsciOuslY graceful.
Behold her again at 20. No more
does she run or Jump or roll hoop, run
races or slide on the ice. 1t Is not
proper" now nor ladylike, and she
couldn't if she would, for she is fettered
| by long skirts, tight shoes and tighter
stays. Her movement has no longer
the freedom and unconscious grace OF
childhood, for nowwhen sidewalks abroad
she walks to be looked at, which now in
/ her estimation Is the main object of
walking. She is already in delicate
health, and has a doctor who prescribes
! expensive advice and prescriptions for
her, and ascribes her complaint to any
thing and everything but the real cause.
That is simply the lettering of the body
with fashionable clothes. Physically
she is a prisoner. At she was free.
The doctor advises travel, but he
doesn't advise her to take off and
keep off her fashionable fetters. She
wouldn't do so if he did, and
he wouldn't advise her if he knew it
would bring relief, for she would no
longer believe in a doctor who would
make her dress like q guy, and being
dressed Ike " guy" is dressing differ
ent from the style prescribed by a Paris
mOdiste. Diana never could hunt
in a trailing skirt +; narrow, tight, high
heeled CATERS, and a pinched, corseted
waist; but Diana with a belted tunic
and unfettered limbs would be bounced
off Broadway by the nearest policeman.
Dressing for health and freedom of body
and limb is one thing, and dressing for
fashion quite another. A man couldn't
endure the pinching and membranes
peculiar to feminine attire for an hour,
and pretty spectacle he'd make rush
ing about in such during business hours.
Yet the weaker sex wear double the
membranes of the sO-called stronger.
To " dress at all after the style uses
up half a woman's time and twO-thirds
Of her strength.-NelU York Graphic.

stood behind the counter, "have you

done up in the softest kind Of cotton.
