Burlington Hawkeye.
No, my son, cheek is not better than
wisdom; it is not better than anything.
Don't listen to the siren who tells you
to blow your WI horn or it will never
be footed upon. The world is not TO
be deceived 10y cheek, and il does search
for merit, and when it finds it, merit is
rewarded. Cheek never deceives the
world, my son. 1t appears to do 50 to
the cheeky man, but he is the one who
is deceived. Do you know one cheeky
man in all your acquaintance who is
not reviled for his cheek the moment
his back is turned? Is the wOrldnot con.
tinually drawing distinctions between
cheek and merit? Almost everybody
hates a cheeky man, my son. Society
tires of the brassy glare Of his face, the
hollow tinkling of his cymbalian
tongue, the noisy assumption of his
for%wardness. The triumphs Of cheek
are only apparent. He bores his way
along through the world, and frequently
better people give way for him. But
so they give way, my boy, for a man
with a paint pot in each hand. Not
because they respect the mar with the
paint pot particularly, but because
they want to take care Of their clothes.
You sell goods without it, and your
customers won't run and hide in the
cellar when they see you coming.

were her own. Much evidence was
given to prove that she suffered from
mental disease; but IN Casper's opinion
being asked concerning her alleged
kleptomania, he concluded that her
propensity to steal was not irresistible,
that she had not been compelled to
commit the three thefts in spite of her
self, and that she was responsible for
them as criminal actions. His reasons
for this opinion were, that in the first
place, although the accused had be-
sought her husband not to take her to
those places where shining objects
were to be seen, she went to goldsmiths'
shops of her own accord, and without
any necessity for doing SO; second,
that she paid away silver; third, that
she broke up the objects she stole in
order that they may not be recognized,
and in that way lead to her detection;
fourth, that she had not gone to the
same goldsmiths' shop twice; fifth, that
she had concealed her conduct from
her husband; and last, that when she
was Intercepted she made many false
and contradictory statements.
