this Is all wrong. 1t isn't business, and
it hurts religion. 1t keeps men in the

A lazy man is seldom so very lazy as
not to be able to invent some excuse for
his inactivity. Harper's Round Table

schooner was loaded with bricks, ready
to start for New York, but Patrick gave
no sign of any intention to get under

confined in the qua d house he was
ordered to perform some men1al labor
and refused on the ground that he was
prisoner. Thereupon it was ordered
by Lieutenant Colonel Bsinbridge that
he be brought be'ore summary court.
It happened that Colonel Lowering was
office of the day. When the guard
went to Hammond's quarters he refuss
to come out ide or to allow himself to
be conducted before the court. Th re-
upon, at Cap ain Coverings dlctatlor,

who walked in the rear, accentuatet
bis cruel order by cursing at the pros

and proddiDg him with bis sword.
When Hammond was brought into the
court room be was almost unconscious,
his clothes were torn and covered With
dirt and he was bleeding from numer-
Gus cuts, surface wounis and abrasions |
of the skin. He was found guilty of !
insu bordinstion and sentenced to a |,
long term on bread and water. The
