Boston, June 1S.-Frank Howard. who
on April 27. with David Cummings, mur-
derously assaulted DR. Patrick Nor
ris, the venerable Washington street
druggist. was yesterday sentenced to
state prison for life by Judge Fessenden.
Cummings was given not more than 25
and not less than Is years. The doctor.
who is rs years old made a pitiable
appearance on the stand. II was diff
cult TO understand what he said, so weak
was his voice. Howard went into his
drug store at noon. and under the plea
OF a wounded leg got Or. Morris TO stoop
over. Cummings came in and grasped
the doctor. the two men numerically
beat him and stole a gold watch and
s3I from the till. The assault was seen
10y many people. but the men got away In
the crowd. A description Of them re-
suited in their arrest. After trial the jury
almost Immediately found them guilty.
Howard expressed great sorrowNfor his
part of the transaction, and pleaded for
mercy on the ground OF poor health
Cummings had nothing to say The
Judge then imposed the sentences. They
are the most severe administered for an
assault case In Suffolk county in recent
years.

THE HIGHWAY.

The highway lies, all bare and brown,
4 naked line across the down,
Worn by q hundred hurrying feet.
The tide Of life along It flows,
And busy commerce comes and goes
Where once the grass grew green and
The worlds fierce pulses beat.
Wen for the highway that 1t lies
The passageway Of great emprisei
Yet from its dust what voices cry
Voices Of soft green growing things
Trampled and torn from earth which
clings
Too closely, unperceiving why
Its darling BARNS must diei
My hearts a highway, trodden down
BY many q traveller of renown-
Grave thought, and burden-bearing
deeds.
And strong achievements envoy fares,
With laughing Joys and crowning cares,
Along the road that woodward leads
Once rank with foolish weeds.
Glad Is my heart to hear them pass;
Yet sometimes breathes a low alas!
The tender springing things that grew
The nursling hopes their feet destroyed,
Sweet ignorant dreams that youth en-
joyed-
And blossomed there the long year
through
Would could have them tool

zine.

An Act of Courtesy.

When the train bringing the Mckinley
party into Washington stopped at the sta.
ton, the incoming President found him
self, after the custom of like times, greet.
ed by a great concourse of people and
surrounded by masses of flowers. Sc.
lecting from among these flowers bunch
of the most beautiful, when his saluta.
tions were made he walked the length
of the platform alone, and handed them
to the engineer who had brought
the train in safety.
1t was an evidence of delicate courtesy
possible, perhaps, only in democracy,
but it revealed, as no message to Con.
gress and no proclamation to country
could reveal, the real nature of the man
the fundamental impulses of his charac'
ter Even those disagreeing with him
as a statesman, must do honor to him as
a man.-Harper's Bazar.
