RoBERT G. INaERsoLL does not
like the generally accepted puni
tive system. He urges that if L.
GOO confirmed criminals were
placed upon a desert island and
forced to make a living for them
selves, there would soon be a clear
ly defined line between the men
who readily adapted themselves to
the conditions and set to work and
the lazy ones who refused to exert
themselves. In time this would
develop into the inevitable dis
tinction between a law abiding and
criminal element in the com
munity. It Is interesting to note
that the United States has now an
experimental colony of this kind
in Canada. and that the majority
of its members are idlers.

And Solder. Too.

Recent excavations at Rene
prove that the plumber of 1900
years ago was as good a man as
the plumber of to-day. The traps
and connections we're perfect, the
work rather better done, and al
though no bills have been found he
doubtless added the same amount
for solder that one gets in his bill
Of to-day.

llON SALE.

The fourth annual Combination
sale of Clark & Potts will begin
Tuesday, February 1lth, and con-
tinue about four days. The cata-
logues are now out and ready for
distribution. From a careful ex-
animation of the entries in regard
to the breeding number and quail
ty of the stock it is quite evident
that this will be the most success
full sale ever held in Missouri. On
the first pages may be seen two
entries made by J. d. Patton, of
the firm of Crosswhite, Patton &
Ruby, of st. Louis, No. They are
thoroughbred sons of the immortal
renbroeck and should sell for good
prices. By casting your eyes
further along in the book you can
see about a dozen entries made by
B. L. Wilson & Bro, proprie,ors
of Vintura Park, Cave City, KY
most of which is fashionable bred
standard stock, excepting one sad
lie stallion by the celebrated but
departed Artist. J. R Rippey, of

c. p. Colman, of ST. Louis, Mo-.
I p Adams, of Lohman, Mo. and
D. NJ. Ware, of Kansas City, Kan,
are among the s-consignors of the
valuable, standard trotting stock

rhe familiar names Of nearly all
'ur local breeders are scattered
throughout the catalogue Among
hem We see the names of Wood
Maddox, .Buckner, Guthrie, Carter,
Potts, Clark & Surber, CLARK. Har-
per. Cauthorn and many others too
numerous to mention, each think
| ny his consignment the best ever
aised or owned in Nor,h Missouri

,ver the mental strain he has to
,ndergo when his pc. or pets, a. il
nay be, are being expos~d to an
mappreciative and mevciless pub.
i.c. As you still turn the page'
We find That the value and quality o
he entries do not depreciate in
quality or importance. for on page
81 you will see that Mess 8. Rus

that is or expects to be interested

stock, whether he expects to bu.
