REDLANDs is no longer way station.
A fellow up there has written poem
entitled Hateful Snow.
Exarx Lash ao.t &5OO.

John James Mage, quiet middle aged man,
has had a career as romatic as that of Monte
Cristo Mage is nova Guatemalan million
aire who lives nine months OF the year i'll
Paris. Twenty years ago, says Pearsons
Weekly, he was poor English collector OF in
sects in Guatemala, and also acted as the
British vice consul at San Jose One day Com
mandate Gonzales ordered Mage to appear be-
fore him Mage sent word that he would
come in short time. This incensed the com
mandate and he sent file of soldiers after
him. and when the insect collector appeared,
ordered so lashes to be laid upon. his
bare back. This was done We y thoroughly
and when it was finished Gonzales shouted;
GIVE him SO more for luck"
When Mayo recovered, which was only after
careful nursiny, as his back was badly cut up
he made formal complaint to the British
government. The result was thatGuate mala
was ordered to punish Gonzales, and to pay
Mayo $500 for every lash he had received. In
default of this, English cruisers would she'll
San Jose and other coast cities. Guatemala
readily punished Gonzales, but tr ed to evade
paying $50 600 to Mayo. The British, how
ever, were memorable. and the poor collector
was made a com paritavey rich man in one
day. AS he had more coin than any one in
the country at tina; time, President Barrios
went into partnership with him. Mayo be-
came one of the largest coffee planters, and
also secured the contract for building docks in
the port. No one can land or leave one of
these docks without paying toll to Mayo, while
he also levies tax on all freight He also
owns valuable mines and tracts OF timber.
His fortune is estimated at So ,000,0 900, all due
to 100 lashes on the back.

One day upon topmost shelf
found precious prize, indeed,
Which father used to read himself,
But did not want us boys to read;
brown old book of certain age
CAS- type and binding seemed to show,
While on the spotted title page
Appeared the name "Boccaccio."
I'd never heard that name before,
But in due season it became
To him who fondly brooded DER
Those pages beloved name.
Adown the centuries walked
MID pastoral scenes and royal show;
With siegneurs and their danes talked
The story of Boccaccio!
Those courtly knights and sprightly maids
Who really seemed disposed to shine
In gallantries and escapades,
Anon became great friends of mine;
Yet was there sentiment with fun,
And oftentimes my tears would flow
At some QUAINT tale of valor done,
AS told by my Boccaccio.
In boyish dreams saw again
Bucolic bellies and danes Of court
The princely youth and monkish men
Arrayed for sacrifice or sport;
Again heard the nightingale
Sing as he sang those years age
In his EMPOWERED Italian vale
To my revered Boccaccio.
And still love that brown old book
found upon the topmost she'll
] love it so let none look
Upon that treasure but myself
And yet have strapping boy
Who Il have every cause to know
Would to its full extent enjoy
abe friendship OF Boccaccio.
But boys are. oh SO different now
From what they were when was one!
I fear my boy would not know how
To take that old raconteur's fun.
In your companionship, o friend,
think it wise alone to go.
Plucking the gracious fruits that bend
Where'er you lead, Boccaccio!
So rest you there upon the shelf,
Clad in your garb of faded brown;
Perhaps, some time, my boy himself
Shall find you out and take You down.
Then may he feel the JOY once more
That thrilled me, filed me years ago
When reverently brooded DER
The glories of Boccaccio.

LEGAL INSANITY.

Criminal Conviction?

CDnlnat CONVICTION?
The New York Law Journal recently
contained al editorial article favoring
a modification of the test of insanity in
criminal Cases. The ability to distin-
guish between right and wrong in ref
erence to the act committed and to
know that it was wrong is a standard
of mental capacity required in New
York to render person responsible fer
crimes committed by him.
The Law Journal argues in favor OF
grading punishment according to the
mental condition of offenders who may
be partially insane. Many alienists,
including Dr.. Allan McLane Hamilton,
do not recognize partial insanity"
saying that a person is either sane OF
insane. The state in which the mind
acts correctly as to its Judgment, but
the will is controlled by some Impulse
which the mind cannot master, is not
recognized in many criminal courts,
