MORE LENiENT THAN HIS MOTHER
Justice Potts Releases a Prisoner
After He Signs the Pledge.

( John Meehan of No. 101 Plymouth
street, secured his release from the First
Criminal Court this morning, by signing
the pledge. The young man was ar
rested on complaint of his brother James,
who charged him with stealing a lot Of
lead pipe from the cellar of his home.
Mrs. Meehan, the mother of the
prisoner was in court and charged her
son with being a habrtual drunkard. She
laid that the young man could not enter
her home again.
Justice Potts tried to get her to forgive
her son, but he failed. h insisted that
she would have nothing further to do
with him. The court told the mother it
would be more human for her to take her
son home and try to reform him than to
send him to prison. She would not, how
ever, listen to the court.
Much to the surprise of the persons in
the room the Justice called the prisoner
from the pen and asked him to sign the
pledge. The young man readily consent
ed. After he had signed the document he
was released.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
The Words Of Friends are Genuine
and Reliable.

1t is easy for people to talk about them-
selves and state what they may nave
done, but it is far better % haze other
people speak for you. The words winch
follow are the frank expressions OF peo-
pie who know of what they speak.
Mr.. John X. Chase, Amesbury, Mass,
says: "ForI some six years past my wire
has been suffering from nervous prostra-
ton. For years she, was troubled with in
somnla and nothing recommended by the
most eminent physicians would induce
sleep. Under the advice of physicians she
recently tried Duffy's Malt Whlskey IN
small quantities and with the most salts
factory results. While Mrs. Chase mas
always been staunch in her temperance
principles and consistent in practice, she
has no hesitation IN recommending to in
valids who need a gentle stimulant
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey."
E. C. Avila, of the Brooklyn ASSOCIATION
for improving the condition of the poor,
SAYS: 81 have used Duffy's Malt Whiskey
for the past two years, having suffered
from severe headaches and nervous pros
tration. l have been very much relieved
gained seventeen pounds in weight
The above statements speak for them
selves.

To an army of physically inferior men
the first disruption of ranks generally
meant utter ruin. Gunpowder is a great
equalizer of Individual prowess. The rifle
bullet OF a dwarf Will carry as far and hi
as hard as that of a giant. On the retreat
from Moscow the foet=sore, famished and
almost frozen French soldiers could hard
ly drag themselves along, but, when too
hard pressed, were able to form squares
and, with leveled muskets, make the puF-
suing Cossacks shrink back out of huile
range.
But the medicum of remaining strength
that still sufiiced to pull q trigger would
have failed to draw the arrgW Of d
Parthian war bow. and In a speaF-fe-speaF

sealed. Hence the horrible eafHage Of
