Birds of feather flock together. Did
you ever notice that ii one man is sour, dis.
gruntled and out of tune. he always hunts
up some one else who is just as badly "of''
as he is? And how they do sympathize
with each other! What a comparison of
griefs! What general damning the rest
of the world gets! Why? Well partly be-
cause the genial. social man has no time for
the vinegar of life. He is trying too hard
to smile away the rough features, or busying
himself too earnestly in his life work to
stop and imbibe the wOrmwOOd and the
gall. The sour man hasn't the monopoly
of the trials of life. by any means. but he
is welcome to monopoly of looking at the
dark side, and hugging hateful thoughts to
his breast. We have known some earnestly
busy people who have had as many sorrows
as the long faced complainer, but they don't
believe that sorrows can be made fewer by
harbOring them, magnifying them. or re-
failing them to everyone. The steady pur-
suit of plenty OF worthy business would
render many croaker more companion

"A Pathetic Scene.

John McNulty, have you anything to say?"
mo, your honor, have nothing to say. Every
thing lies with my attorney"
McNulty spoke quietly and without tremor as
he stood looking at the judge of court in San
Francisco. At this moment his young wife, with
her baby in her arms, broke through the crowd
and took seat by his side. She was followed by
McNulty's aged mother, who sank into another
chair and stared around excitedly.
Judge Murphy then narrated the circumstances
of the killing. McNulty had quarreled with his
employer named Collins. and an attempt was
made 10 settle the matter by fist fight in a va.
cant lot. This was interrupted and the next day
Collins and McNulty met on the street. and Col.
Inns desired to resume their friendly relations
McNulty answered in a surly tone that he wanted
to fight.
They parted and McNulty turned around and
followed Collins. Some one observed HIM draw
weapon and cried out: Look out, he s got gun!'
Collins turned and received the bullet in his right
eye. He died instantly.
This was a cruel murder" said Judge Murphy.
McNultys mother grew more agitated.
