If a man has a two-dollar bull
pup he looks af,erft carefully and
does not allow it to roam all over
town at night. But if he has boy
it is different. He is turned loose
at an early age to go to the devil,
and then the people wonder where
the army of tramps, buns, loaters,
dead beats, gamblers, and drunk
ards come from. They are germin-
ated from poor seed gathered from
our homes and sown broadcast over
our streets and alleys. 1t may be
that your boy is making a growth
in that direction. AT all events
the boy should be given an equal
showing with the bull pup.-Milton

English Administration Of Jamaica.

The English administration of ia

There are law and order, excellent
roads, comfortable houses, adequate po-
lice, lawn tennis and cricket, plenty CT
manly, companionable English army
and navy officers and a governor who is
strong, able and genial. At the same
time it would be folly to maintain that
the island is producing a tenth part of
the wealth that is latent in soil and
atmosphere, or that nosu of the wealth
that is beginning to make its ap-
pearance is due to anything SO much
as to the American enterprise and cap
ital which are opening up railways
and cultivating fruits. Another serious
fact, though not necessarily an unwel-
come one, is that the islands 1000
square miles contain population of
600, 600 persons, 20, 900 OF whom are

up as the special order
MIR Ragsda'e explained the pur-
poses of the bill. which was framed
to make the verdict of the Jury con-
elusive, save when it was rendered

better qualified to settle local con

to set aside the verdict of the jury
was not constitutional right. 1t
was based upon statute aud ought
to be repealed 1t was contradlc-
tion not to allow the Judge to state
the facts to the jury and yet allow
him to set aside a verdict upon a
question Of fact If the Judge could
say that a verdict was too large, why
not do away with the juries and
leave the matter altogether to the
Judge? He thought it undemocratlc

asked to table ihe report and take up
the bill on its merits.
MrHenderson said that the, COM
mission was unanimous in it's report,
because it thought the measure pro
posed scathing stroke at the ad.
ministration of justice in South Caro-
lima. There was no State in the
Union that had such law as that
proposed In every State the Judge
had the right to set aside outrageous
verdicts against the overwhelming
weight of the evidence 1t was
only proper that the Judge should
have the right to cut down the dam
ages wherever they were unjust.
Mr. Ragsdale asked to postpone
Indefinitely che unfavorable report,
and then to let the Senator'S amend
the bill just as much ss they warted
to, so that they would preserve the
spirit of the bill, which was good.
His motion to postpone was lost,
however.

THE CRANE DANCE.
Where the soubrettes Got Their Idea Fer
Speciality.

Where the Soubrettes Got Their Idea Fer
Speciality.
There is a dance called the crane
dance, which is popular at the vaude-
vile houses. At Lincoln park there is
real crane which does a crane dance,
and those who have seen its saltatorlal
feats say the bird does it much better
than do the featherless, two legged ami
mails.
No purely initiative dancing could
fail to gain by being an exact copy Of
the performance Of the long necked,
spindle legged sand bill crane. Its steps
are not only grotesque, but they are OF
kind to make the gravest onlooker lose
his dignity and laugh like delighted
boy at the circus This Lincoln park
bird at the outset Of his dance is the
personi6cation of dignity. When in the
days Of his freedom he tripped it on his
native sand hills for the sole benefit of
his mate, be did so only in the spring
time, but now, in his lowly captive
state, he dances in and out of season if
the keeper who feeds him will but wave
his arms and take an awkward step or
two to give him encouragement.
The crane begins its dance by showing
one long leg, with its claw attachment,
straight out in front of his body. Then
he lowers it and draws it back slowly
until it is within an inch or two Of the
ground. Then there is hghtninglike
double shuttle, and the other leg is
pointed to the front. Then the dance
begins in earnest. The wings are
stretched and beat the air in perfect
time to the movement Of me feet, be
they going fast or slow. There is the
semblance of a clog; then the sinuous
foot and body movement Of the nautch
girl, and in q moment the whirl of the
dancing dervish, to be succeeded as
finale by q sort of wild call hands
round" in which every feather of the
bird is alive, as it enters into the JOY OF
the dance with an utter abandon. The
act of stopping is like the "balt" of the
German soldier-sudden, stiff and in
stant. Then the crane marches away to
corner with a still stately tread, but
with an eye which appears to reveal en-
barrassment. t.-Chicago Times-Herald.

The Mission.

On last Sunday night the Mission car
ried on at the Catholic Church by Rev.
Fathers O'Connor and Leautier was
closed with appropriate and impress
i've ceremoney. On this occasion
Father O'Connor gave the Papal bene-
diction. For two weeks these eloquent
dLZf19s have held large congregations
SPELL bound. Morning and evening the
Catholic Church, with seating capa-
city Of 1900 or 1900, was tironged with
eager listeners who were charmed with
what they heard. There is no doubt
but that this mission will produce a
great deal of good in our community.
There were large number who re-
turned to the folds of the church.
A noticeable feature is that very
large proportion of those who took the
sacrament of the church were men OF
education and intelligence, who were
convinced by the logic OF these learned
priests. THE COURIER congratulates
Father Engberink on the success Of this
mission
