The Whipping Post.

A whipping post for the correction of
bad boys has been set up in Evansville,
Ind. The judge of the local police court
is responsib BILE for the innovation. He
was puzzled what to do with boys in
different to parental control and hest
tated to infict the penalty of fine,
which was really punishment on the
parent. He discovered that an old stat
ute permitting the 1ogging of lawbreak-
ers had not been repealed, and at once
set up the whipping post. Now when
boy is found guilty of misdemeanor
his father is sent for and given his
choice of paying a fine, seeing his boy
go to Jail or giving him sound fog
ging with strap in the presence of an
officer whose duty it is to see that there
is no sham about the punishment. There
is seldom need of the mentors interior
ence, the angry parent welding the
strap to good purpose. The Humane So
ciety felt impelled to interfere, but the
jHdge stood upon the law, and there
has been marked decrease in the num-

General Lee told an amusing story
to reporter at one time when he
was about to deliver an address at the
Confederate reunion. Someone came
to him and asked him If he would
speak to an old colored man who
wished to speak to him. The general
consented, and the old negro, whose
name was Sam, and who had fought
throughout the war, came and re-
ceived the proffered hand. General
Lee at once began to put questions to
the old fellow, who answered with
wonderful skill. The general then
asked him where he had seen the best
time during the war.

the darby, "because 1 ran as soon as

in his eye.

Sam, coming to his climax.

tell which place was safe.

A Conundrum.

Here is conundrum: An Irishman,
Frenchman and an American were
waiting for street car together. Soon
one appeared in the distance. "He is
coming,'' said the Irishman ''She is
coming" said the Frenchman. ''It is
coming,'' said the American. Which
was right? Most people answer, "Why,
the American, of course" But, no; the
Irishman was right. It was a mail car.

1t is great point for young men to
begin well, for it is in the beginning
of life that that system of conduct is
adopted which soon assumes the
force of habit. Begin we'll, and the
habit of doing well will become quite
as easy as the; habit of doing badly.
"Well begun is half ended" says the
proverb, and good beginning is half
the battle. Many promising young
men have irretrievably injured them
selves by first false step at the COM
mencement of life, while others of
much less promising talents have sue
ceeded simply by beginning we'll and
going onward. The good practical
beginning is to a certain extent a
pledge, a promise, and an assurance
of the ultimate prosperous issue.

crawling through life, miserable him.

Spain's reply is acceptance of all

views on each point involved and on
the questions which would naturally
arise when the American conditions
are carried into execution. Whether
this will be considered satisfactory
