daughter ruined by some scoundrel who
had promised to marry her. Continuing
he said that he did not wish to be un-
stood as encouraging law breakers, but
that we might philosophize and moralize
as much as we pleased, but
human nature would be human
nature for all that. He said
that he had never fined father under
similar circumstances, and that he never
intended doing So The remarks of his
honor in this case certainly met with the
approval of everybody who knew the cir
cumstances of the case that caused Mr.
