THE SIN OF OMISSION.

II isn't the thing you do, dear.
It's the thing you leave andone.
Which gives you a bit Of heartachs
AT the setting OF the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write.
The flower you might have sent. dear
Areyour haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out OF a brothers way.
The bit Of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say
The loving touch Of the hand. dear.
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had NO time nor thought Tor.
With troubles enough of your ywn,
These little acts OF kindness
SO easily out OF mind,
These chances TO be angels
Which even mortals find
They come IN night aud silence,
Each chill, reproachful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging.
And blight has dropped ON faith.
For life is all too short dear
And sorrow is all too grea
10 suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do, dean
It's the thing You leave undone.
Which gives you the bitter heartache
AT the setting of the sun.

Warned by the experience Of the
Cronin trial at Chicago, when weeks OF
valuable time were consumed in the Sc
lection of jury with result far from
satisfactory, Chicago judge has adopted
plan by which he hopes to overcome
these difficulties. lie has simply taken
into his own hands the examination of
the veniremen; and having satisfied him
self that they were qualified as jurors to
try the case without prejudice, he &C.
cepted them in spite Of the objections
raised by the defence, the cause in ques-
ton being criminal one. It seems
that under the Illinois law this power is
vested in the judge; and one has been
found who is willing to take the respon
eibiIity for his notions.

sho insure their lives for the benefit of
their wives was recently decided in St.
Louis. The case was one in which a man
had taken out such a policy. His wife
died and he married again, having chill
dren by both marriages. At his death
dispute arose rs to who was entitled 10
the insurance. The decision Of the court
was that as the insurance had been taken
out for the benefit Of the first wife, her
children alone were entitled to the money.

4 RETROSPECT,

In the midst Of the whirl and hustle Of
the political campaign last September the
esteemed and truly good Deacon Hayiord,
OF the Laramie Sentinel. paused long
enough in his un~ressoning advocacy of
Governor WArren's election to quote a
briei but interesting paragraph from the
state constitution. 1t reads as follows;
No person shall be eligible to the office
of governor unless he be a citizen of the
United States and a qualified elector of
the state who has attained the age OF 30
years and who has resided FIVE years next
preceding the election within the state or
territory. nor shall he he eIegibie 10 any
other Office during the term for Iohioh he
Ca elected
There, said the truly good deacon.
pointing to the italicized portion OF the
paragraph, there is the fundamental law
Of the state of Wyoming. We know the
governor as well as anyone and we know
there is nothing farther from his fertile
and classic mind than the subject ofthe
senatorial toga But even If this we're
not so, continued the truly coed deacon.
there is the constitutional inhibition and
the governor. cannot become United
States senator during the term for which
he may be elected even though be wanted
to do SO. So the truly good deacon, with
a sublime confidence in human nature
which a prolonged residence IN Laramie
rarely begets, strongly maintained that the
suspicion expressed against the governor
BY the hireling opposition press was IN
founded and even if il was not unfounded
the constitutional provision interviewed to
prevent a contamination Of any such bold
design.
With becoming dif6dence THE LEADER
at the time pointed out to the truly good
deacon that il the necessities Of the case
positively demanded it the provision
would be construed as only applying to
state officers and having no reference
whatever to such federal Offices as United
States senator. But nothing short of a
stuffed club could have shaken tie conf
dence of the Laramie edit n.
We now beg leave to call the attention
of Hayford to the fact that his pet pro-
vision was read in the joint session
Of the legislature no later han
than last Tuesday and inform him that
not only did no one condescehd to put any
construction whatever upon it but that
with unrufi,d calmness and shocking
unanimity u legislative solons proceeded
TO elect this self same Governor Warren
to the high and honorable position OF
United States senator.
Under the circumstances we feel justi-
fed in waiting with what patience we can
assume the forthcoming prolific Yawp OF
the esteemed and truly good Deacon Hay
ford.
