The Law in Shakespeare.

The late Senator Cushman K. Davis o.
Minnesota was a man of literary tastes
ana requirements as well as a distin-
guished and successful LAWYER. He was
particularly interested in the Shakes
pearian drama, and in 1888 he published
a small volume entitled, THE Law in
Shakespeare" a second edition of which
has recently come from the press of the
West Publishing Company at St. Paul.
In this the lawyer will find collected 312
extracts from the plays and poems Of
Shakespeare, each containing some law
term or legal phrase indicative of Shakes
peare's accurate familiarity with the law
of the land and the procedure of the
courts of justice in his day and genera
ton. The quotations are accompanied
by definitions OF even the commonest
legal terms which occur in them, so that
the work is instructive and entert aiming
to the layman as well as the lawyer;
and there is or excellent index which en-
ables the reader readily to find the prin-
cipal passages in which any given word
or phrase occurs. Thus, referring to
Bond" we discover light extracts in
which that word is used taken from
Midsummer Nights Dream, 1.-The Mer-
chant of Venice" Macbeth" Richard
IL" and the 134th Sonnet.

LESSON THOUGHTS.
For the new year let our first purpose
be to-take Christ with us. No lie can
be truly blessed without his benediction.
No year can be really prosperous if he is
left out of it.
We lived the old year day by day; let
us plan for the new in the same way. If
we fill the days with faithfulness, the year
will pile up monuments of praise and
blessing.
SELECTIONS.
l asked the New Year for some motto sweet
Some rule of life by which to guide my feet;
1 asked and paused. 1t answered soft and
Gods will to know"
"Will knowledge then suffice. New Year."
But e'er the question into silence died,
The answer came; Nay, this remember,
Once more asked: as there still more to
tell ?"
And once again the answer softly fell:
Yes, this one thing, all things above
Gods will to love"
In making the transit from one year to
another we see much sin in the retro
spect; we see many broken purpose,
many misspent hour, many rash and
unadvised word; we see much pride and
anger and unbelief; we see long track
OF Inconsistency. There is nothing for
us but the great atonement. With that
atonement, let us, like believing Israel,
end and begin anew. Bearing its prec-
ious blood, let us pass within the veil of
a solemn and eventtul future. Let a visit
to the Fountain be the last act of the
closing year; and let a new year still find
us there.
What new things shall we look for in
the new year? Harder things to do for
Christ, greater truths to learn, richer ex-
periences to enjoy, nearer to get to
Christ, nearer to get to men.
SUGGESTED HYMNS,
Lead, kindly light. amid TIL encircling gloom.
l do not ask tor earthly store.
Savior lead me, lest stray.
Take thou my hand and lead me-
While thou, o my God, art my help and my
defender.
Work. for time is flying.

STRANGE THINGS.
John Temple Graves Finds the
West Full of Wrath Against
the South.

John Temple Graves tells us in the
Atlanta Journal of Wednesday that on
going out west after the election he
found that section full of wrath against
the south because it voted the demo
cratic ticket, and against Mckinley. 81

ostracised in my life, and for sectional
reasons" He says sit was on every
tongue that the south should be pun
ished by reducing her political pow
en-"
This is all strange. Think of it. 1t
was on every tongue to take vengeance
on the south. For what? Our election
was without speech making or
enthusiasm-andt the only point forced
at all was to give independence to the
Philippines in course of time. Yet
with no disturbance here-not much
interest in the electiOn-the people
north had decided to do US political
violence and harm. This was only
prevented, Mr.. Graves says, by a word
sent out by Mckinley that he did not
approve of the measure now, and this
intimation from the president, Mr..
Graves says, checked the rising tide
and lowered a move rapidly rising.
This shows how unfriendly the west
and the north are to us.
Who would have suspected after all
these years since the war there was
hidden a feeling so ready to burst out
on no propagation whatsoever. Want
ed to ''do US" because we are not re-
publicans and apply to US force and
punishment from congress. 1t is an
eve opener. Gregg, the Enol ish au-
thor of the history of the United States,
tells US that in his visits to he west
he found the people more unlike than
the French are unlike the English.
He said that he was amazed at their
false ideas and conception of the
south.
The south never had any friends in
the west. The old Alliance worked up
that idea. But it had no ground to
rest upon. What few friends we nave
are in the east. 1t was a blunder 10
ever have abandoned our eastern dem
ocrats for the west. Let the west CO.
We carnot withdraw from the east
ern democracy. We cannot act indie
pendently. We cannot put ourselves
up to the highest bidder. The western
democracy is ready and willing and
eager to pounce upon us for not voting
for Mckinley and ready to 90 so far as
to reduce our representation. Ihls
pictures to us that the sword OF Dam
ocle hangs over us and that an "oppo-
sitioun party in congress is necessary
IN nl1r preservation ard that we should
lose no time in reorganizing on lines
that will bring our old democratic

There are in the Kansas state peni-

under sentence of death who have not

In view of these facts Governor
Stanley has recently instituted an in.

capital punishment and its relation TO
mob law in the several states OF the
union.
He has intimated that if his investi-
