Crime and Punishment.

Il am not sure but that we punish too much"
remarked w. Alexander johnson, secretary of
the state board of charities. while talking to
porter about p rison methods.
Bishop Robertson, of Missouri in a speech
once described justice like huge pair of iron
Jaws that opened and closed with mechanical reg
ularity. Nearly every man at some time in his
life does something that brings him within reach
of those jaws: but it happens with many that it is
not when they opening and closing, while
others less fortunate, but no more guilty, are
caught. He illustrated the inequalities of justice
by parable taking two boys who were truants
and went to a farmers orchard to steal apples.
One Of the boys was caught. while the other ran
away and escaped. The who caught
was turned over to a constable and placed in jail
where he was thrown among Grim inals long enough
fall under the influence of his evil associations
When released he was much worse than when ar
rested, and he got deeper and deeper into crime
The other boy. with whom he had gone out to
steal apples remained in school, was looked upon
respectable. acquired education. became a
lawyer, and finally became judge.
twenty-five years after the apple stealing the
boy who and escaped punishment was the
Judge who sentenced 10 death the boy who had
been caught. and whose punishment had started
him in career of crime. Indianapolis News.

Good Stock for a Politician.

A farmer had son who showed no special apti-
tude for business. and he puzzled what to do
with him. He concluded to try experiment,
he locked the boy in room in which there
were only Bible, an apple and dollar. A few
minutes later he stole quietly to the room. He
had made up his mind that if he found the boy
eating the apple he would make good farmer,
if he were reading the Bible he should be trained
tor the pulpit, and if he had taken the money his
success a broker, the father thought was as
sured. Upon entering the room he found the boy
sitting upon the BILE. eating the apple, with the
dollar in his pocket. The boy became able pol.
