after all, how large a part of the
wrong doings of the weak and igno-
rant creatures we call "men" are
"unwitting and unawares"l There's
all too much (God knowsD that's in
teIligent deliberate, wilful deviltry.
But no legislation is fair, and no
Judgment just, that does not recog-
nize how much of the daily wrong
doing of mankind occurs through ig-
norance and inexperience. The wrong
doing is committed, the evil done,
for "evil is wrought by want of
thought as well as want of WILL" and
must be punished. But society owes
it to all its offenders to discriminate.
The juvenile offender is not as bad
as the hardened criminal. He ought
to have a place of refuge in the very
heart that he had wounded. And as
for poor little Bill and Tom and
Mary and Fanny,-let us remember
how ignorant they are, how weak,
how inexperienced, how much of all
their mischief and evil is wrought
"unwittingly and unawares"l
A refuge from the avenger of
blood.-Do not doubt, little man,
that there is a special avenger for
every wrong,-a blood avenger for
blood-shedding, a theft avenger for
stealing, a truth avenger for lying,
and so on forever. For every kind
of carelessness (even on the part of
such creatures as rabbits and birds)
there is a particular avenger. If
they wander too near the city, there
are the dogs. If they stray too far
into the meadow, there are the
hawks. And so, my little man, if
you are lazy, poverty will get you,
If you are dishonest, the coop" will
catch you. If you are a truant, ig-
norance will find you, and write the
word "fool" on your forehead. All
along the pathway of life, lurking in
the shadows, hiding in the corners,
lie the avengers. You cannot escape
them. Their eyes are clear, their
fangs and claws are sharp. Each has
his mission. Each knows the sin he
is to smite. He crawls and sneaks
along your path, ready to spring like
a wolf. Does it seem hard2 Well,
God could not run the universe with
out them, any more than a woman
could run a pantry without cats and
traps, or a man a garden without
hoes and Paris green.
And declare his cause ". a.
What a sublime ideal it is in the
heart of humanity that every man
should have an opportunity to ode
clare his cause"l Up through long
ages of indifference, injustice, and
cruelty, the race has been struggling
toward the realization of it's purpose
hal every living soul, no matter how
vile the crime MOI how overwhelm-

chance to stand before a competent
tribunal, and e~xonerate himself, if

Mr.. Wright is an exception OF a

he handled his subject was grand. He
gave the audience illustrations from

CABBAGE WORM REMEDY.

Mr.. c. Barber of Story County.
Iowa, writes Us that he has used a
very simple remedy in destroying
cabbage worms during the past few
years, with very great satisfaction
His plan is to sift ordinary flour
on the leaves of the cabbage plants
when these are damp with dew or
rain. He says that it is sometimes
necessary to repeat the operation
two or three times. The exact effect
OF the -four ON the insects Is to ac-
cumulate on the lower part Of their
bodies SO as to interfere with their
locomotion, the result being that
they die from starvation.-Wis-

A JERSEY FAILURE
Receiver Will Be Appointed for Republic
Savings Association

Trenton, n j.. Aug. 16.-Nice Chan
cellor Reed fled an opinion yesterday
In which he held the Republic Savings
and Loan Association OF Newark, with
branches throughout the state, to be
insolvent, and announced his intention
to appoint a receiver to wind up the
affairs of the concern. Tho receiver
will be named in day or TWO. In
the meantime the association is re-
strained from doing any business.
The application for the appointment
OF a receiver was made some time ago
by the banking and insurance depart
ment. After examiners of that depart
ment had found the comPany's assets
to be $625,G95 and its liabilities $500
1G6. Vice Chancellor Reed In his opin-
ion points out that the company's eX-
penses during its existence amounted
to s35S,0O0, which was S122,0O0 in eX-
cess Of the profits earned during the
same time and the money paid in by
the shareholders. The vice chancel-
lor says that the management Of the
company has been eXtravasant and
investments have been carelessly
made
A technical question was raised as
to whether the company was insol
vent. because its only creditors were
It's own shareholders. The vice chan
cellor disposes of this point 10y hold
ing that the company is insolvent be
| cauee its assets are less than tho
amount due the shareholders.
