The vagaries of South American justice
are ably illustrated by story that comes
from the Panama Star and Herald. Two
prisoners, Francisco Brionos Gamboa and
Victor Higuera, were implicated in a
murder at Guara. The Guayaquil court,
being unable to fix the relative guilt of
either, passed the following sentence:
s'They shall draw lots and the one favored
by chance shall not be executed and shall
be commuted to that of Imprisonment
for life, which sentence he shall serve in
the prison of the capital of the republic,
after being present at the execution of
the other murderer"

Kate Field says that in England no.
body but a rough or genius can wear
any other hat than a stovepipe and that
seems to explain why Alfred Tennyson
sticks so resolutely to his soft slonch hat.
The stovepips is put on the heads of
youthful Britons of very tender years,
notably on those of the Eton boys, who
sometimes wear it even on the cricket
field when engaged in winning those
battles that are preparatory for future
Waterloos, as the Iron Duke said thay
were.

Putnam has been more or less associated,
as he has been with us who meet with
him here tonight. But. Mr.. Putnams
nrofessional life as member OF the bar
is now a thing of the past. 1t has been,
