who had no umbrella and who had
just come into town on local train.
perceived before him as he stepped
into the street a person whom he
took to be an acquaintance and who
had fine new umbrella hoisted over
his head. Running up to him, there
fore, he clapped him on the shoulder,
saying, as he did SO, by way of joke ::
I'll take that umbrella, If you
please" The individual thus ad-
dressed looked around and disclosed
a perfect stranger. but before the
other could apologize he said, hur
riedly: "Oh, it's yours, is it. Well

have it" and broke away, leaving the

There. is almost a general desire
expressed by the people that Mason,
who shot at the murderer Guiteau,
should not serve term of imprison-
ment, as sentenced by the court-mar-
tial. Discipline demanded that he
he put upon trial and be sentenced
for shooting at prisoner; but the
sense of the country is strongly in
favor of having him pardoned- The
country would really have been glad
if be had shot the murderer Guiteau,
but to permit a guard to shoot at a
prisoner in jail without taking notice
OF the act, would be the destruction
of order and discipline. Mason has
been disciplined, now pardon him, is
the almost general expression There
is, however, another class of men that
say that to pardon Mason is to coun-
tenance disorder and lawlessness.
Their point is not well taken. The
right to pardon is obtained by law
fui process. The laws of the coun-
try give the President the right to
pardon a man that has been lawfully
sentenced. Mason was tried and sen
fenced lawfully for an unlawful act
and he can be pardoned in accord
ance with the provisions of law.
