No rloney For Suicides.

In the United States Supreme
court at Washington, ID. c., II day or
two ago, Justice Harlan handed down
an opinion in the case of Howard
Ritter, executor of William NJ. Runk
VS.. the Mutual Life Insurance com
pany of New York, involving the
question whether the heir Of man
who commits suicide when in sound
mind can recover OIL an insurance
policy. The court held that they
could not. 1t aprcrcl from the
facts stated that Mr.. Ruuk, resi-
dent of Philadelphia, committed sui
eide within less than year afrcr
increasing his insurance to the cx-
tent of 100000 upon his life. OF
the $2O0.00 the New York company
carried $4,000, which it refused to
pay on Tic ground that Runk was
sane when he took his life. 1t was
shown iii the trial court that he had
writt.n letter the day before his
death stating that it was his purpose
to put an end to his life, insurance
money could be collected for the pay
ment of his debts. I'm deciding the
case Justice Harlan said that when
an insurance company entered into
contract to insure Il man S life
neither party to the contract could
be supposed to have suicide in con-
temptation and it was not intended
in entering into such IA contract tina:
the life Of the person insured should
be at the option Of either of the par
ties. Concluding he said explicitly
that no insured person committing
suicide ard found TO be Ct sound
mind could never recover upon his
policy.

HE'S YOUR BOY.
Good Advice to Fathers Who Have
Boys.

You do not know what is in him,
Bear with him: be patient; wait. Feed
him, clothe him, love him. He is a
boy, and most boys are bad. You
think him so light hearted, and fear
he is light headed as well. Remem-
Der he calls you father. When he
played in your lap you fondly hoped
he would some day be great and
useful man. Now that he is larger,
and his young blood drives him into
gleeful sports, and makes him impa-
ticnt of serious things, rattliug, play
fu!, thoughtle3s, you almost despair,
But don't be snappish and snarlish
and make him feel that you are dis
appointed in him. He is your boy
and you ARE to live with him. He
bears your name and is to send it on
down the stream of time. He iuher-
its your fortune and fame, and is to
transmit them to generations to come.
1t may be difliult to govern him,
but be patient. lie may seem aversc
to everything useful and good, but
wait. No one can tell what is in a
boy. He may surprise you some day.
Hope. Let him grow. While his
body grows larger and stronger his
mental and moral nature may extend

Ed1cate your boy. You may think
that money spent in that way is in
vain. There is nothing in him: he
has no pride, no ambition. You don't
know. No one can tell what is in Il

kindlcd spark, an unfannd flame,

LYNCH LAW.
What Prominent Baltimore Lawyer
Says About It.


In practice the system is unques-
tionably liable to grave abuse. Judge
Lynch may make mistakes, and his
mistakes can be corrected by no writ
of error, but if the number Of failures
of justice in his court could be com,
pared with those in our more regular
tribunals, | am not sure that he need
fear the result. I believe that very
few innocent men are lynched, and,
of those who have not committed the
particular offence for which they
suffer, still smaller proportion are
desirable members of society, and, in
certain parts of the country at least,
it is quite safe to say that fear of
lynching is by far the most effective
detriment from certain forms of crime.
1t is, of course, a. great evil that
the law should occasionally be en-
forced by lawless means, but it is, in
my opinion, greater evil that it
should be habitually duped and evad-
ed by means formally lawful. A
few defaulting state treasurers or
doodle aldermen" even one or two
United States Senators, who know
more about the operation of trusts
than they can fad it convenient to
tell, hanging untried to lamp posts
would not be wholly cdifying spec
tacle, but it would have moro whole
some effect on public officials than
long series of quashed indictments.
disagreeing juries, forfeited ''straw"
recognizanccs, and varying phases of
legal impunity for prosperous scoun-
drelism.
In truth, lynching is an attempt
to supply within the province of the
government the governments default,
and its practice constitutes grave
and disquieting symptom Of the evil
it seeks to remedy. If n government
does not so administer justice as to
satisfy the moral sense of the com
munity, that government is pro ,anto
II failure; and it is unquestionable
that in the United States the opcr-
alton of the criminal law has become
so tardy and uncertain that it does
not afford this satisfaction. When
it has been so amended that mur-
dercr or criminal ofeven blacker guilt
shall be usually tried within fort
night and executed within Il month
after his arrest, l predict that Judge
Lynch will adjourn his court sine die,
That this court is now open is, how
ever. symptom also, and not n
wholly regretrable symptom, of the
selfhelpfulness to which Americans
owe their orderly fieedom.-From a
Lecture by Hon. Charles j. Bona.

A GIANT HARVESTER.

This season, in the great wheat
growing section Of the San Joaquin
valley, a giant harvester has been in
use which cuts, threshes, and sacks
the wheat growing on one hundred
acres daily. The machine. when all its
sickles are in use, cuts the enormous
swath Of ffty-two feet. Eight or ten
men are able to handle it easily, and
it turns out from 400 to 1900 sacks Of
wheat in q ten-hour day. The ma
chine is arranged with a central body,
which is the regulation twenty-six foot
harvester. On each side Of this main
sickle is q thirteen-foot sickle. When
the machine began to work this year,
the traction-engin which was built
specially for it, pushed this enormous
harvester through the heavy grain Of
the islands in the San Joaquin river
as easily as a team Of horses would
draw a wagon on a road. When, how
ever, the softer ground was reached,
the weight Of the machine proved to
be so great that the wheels sank into
the soil, and the traction-engine could
AOt peEIoIm us WOIh do IdpIuIy DIS II
should have done; hence, there was a
great loss Of power. To remedy this,
the side sickles had to be removed.
The output Of the machine in this new
form is 600 to 500 sacks per day. Next
season the owners will use it on up
land only, where they will be able to
employ all three or the s1ckles, thus
making it the largest harvester in the
world.-Harper' Weekly.
