Things have changed somewhat in France

Burgundy, there was a notable trial. The
editor of a paper called LIE Pioupiou de
TYOnne, which is issued whenever there is
a CONSUMPTION in that department, and
three writers-one a municipal councillor of
Auxerre, one a young college professor,
and the third an ex-professor in a lycee-
were tried for slandering the army. They
had written articles ~denouncing the army
as a hotbed of corruption, as being a source
of physical and moral contaminated for
all who were compelled to serve in it's
ranks, and various other things of like ma
ture. The offense was aggravated because
the paper was published for the sole rea-
son of printing these articles. Army in
huence did its best to convict the men, and
they themselves helped the army by going,
in their testimony, even further than they
had in their written articles. Yet a jury
acquitted them, and the audience that filled
the court room received the verdict with
loud cheers.

The Art of Loahng.

Julian Ralph. in New York Mail and Ex-
press.
If you would loaf with success you must
study how IT is done by those who have re-
duced loalng TO a science and an art.
Loafing is as elastic a word as any in the
English anguage-eXcept fishing. When a
man says he is going fishing you know that
he is concealing the truth. You know he is
making fishing a blind for his favorite dis
sipatiOn, which may take the form OF cards
or drink, or surrender to his love of nature
and the country, or his desire to shake of
civilization and enjoy fame shirts and a
pipe. There is only one thing more uncer-
tain than what a man means by going
fishing" and that is what he will catch
when he goes.
Loafing is another India rubber word.
Nobody really loafs for many hours at a
time, not even a hobo, for he does the
hardest kind Of work when he rides on a
truck under a car from one place TO an
other. Real loafing would result in death
hence we only really loaf when we are
dead. Your loafer is sure to do a lot of
work whether he hunts, or rides, or plays
golf, or dances attendance on the ladies,
or yachts or bicycles, or goes automobiliZ-
ing. The difference between a loafer's work
and other work is that a loafer does the
work he loves and is not obliged to do.

rather low on the list in comparison with
other countries. Still we have the best
system in the world. We have this virtue
as a rule which distinguishes us from other
peoples: what books we have We read.
That's why we have them on hand. l was
reading the statement again a few days
ago about the worlds great libraries, and
TO be candid about it l did not like to see
the United States so far down in the list.

overlooked is the fact that we have now

them to read and digest. We believe in a

why One Young Man Was Not Granted
N ParOIe-GovernOr Gets
Information.

Governor Durbin has been devoting a
great deal of time during the past week
TO the consideration of applications for ex-
ecutive clemency. Since he became Gov
ernor last January there has been a per-
feet deluge of appeals of this character,
the records Of the office showing that the
number exceeds by far those made during
any similar period for many years.
Although Governor Durbin has given
patient hearing to the friends of c%onvicts.
he has granted clemency in but compar
atively few instances. In every case he in
sists on a thorough investigation and sur
prises are frequent. An instance of this
kind transpired on yesterday. He had
given audience on several occasions to
friends Of a young man from southern
Indiana, convicted for the crime of assault
and battery with intent to kill. The al
legged facts and plausible arguments pre-
sented to the Governor led him to believe
that the case should have favorable con-
sideration. He thereupon instructed Sec
rotary Wilson to issue a parole. This or
der was being carried out at an hour of
the day when Superintendent Hert, of the
Southern ~Reformatory, called at the Of
flee. Conversation turned to the case in
hand and the Governor was astonished TO
learn that the young man for whom the
parole was about TO be issued had been a
'trusty' at the prison about two weeks
ago; that he awaited himself of an OPP
portunity to escape and was now enrolled
on the books Of the institution as a refugee
from justice. The process of issuing the
parole was stopped then and there and
the Governor credited himself with another
accession of information which is not likely
to increase his, faith in the protestations
Of persons seeking executive clemency.
