We trust the Judges of our Courts will
hold the scales of juGtice evenly. There
is no good reason why law breakers should
escape the penalty prescribed for the pun
ishment of their crimes through. party
favoritism or any failure of jurics to agree.
When charges are clearly proven, the jur'
ors should do their duty without fear or
favor A man who cannot render II YER
dict because Of partisan feeling is not fit
to serve on jury. The want Of tho time
is honesty in all things, 80 that the guilty
may be punished and the laws indicated
In no other way can the community be
protected and the safety of life and prop
erty assured. No set Of men should DO
allowed to usurp the authority of judges
and juries and arrogate to themselves the
authority to determine what is right and
what is wrong, If they are permitted to
do so, tho mob will soon rule and the law
become farce, by-word and a reproach.
If one set of men may determine what is
right and what is wrong, another may do
the same aud we may eventually have an
appeal to Judge Lynch. Should any men
refuse to comply with the order Of the
Court, they should be sent to jail for con-
tempt and be kept there until such time
as they will make a due apology and pro.
coed to comply with the rulings Of tho
court. We do not want my class OF per.
sons TO splace themselves above the law,
or attempt to decide questions which prop.

whose business 1t is to interpret the law
and enforce their decision by force of arms

these foolish fashions never lasted long.
Men Wearied Of them. But the tall hat
sits as tight aud eternally as Thescus
on the human skull. Like the corset
on woman. and FAR less excusably. Il
seems TO be permanent institution.
True. we are more emancipated than
our slres. who played golf and even
cricket IN orthodox hats. Advanced
thinkers wear Devastating caps. round
cloth caps. socialist or bible reader
ilat-shaped soft black felt things. and
the Tyrolean or Monte Carlo hat. which
a lady described as more brlgand than
socialist. In the country tall hats are
little worn now. except by elderly ply
sloians and solicitors. Thus. there are
seeming tokens OF the decline Of the
tall hat. but Il holds its own firmly In
London and Paris. An eminent states

The pictures she uses are some she
got In Paris In the summer but she has
supplemented that stock with others,

The pictures used must be big enough
