They had tried. convicted and s1n-
fenced Thomas Barlow to state prison
for life for the murder OF his wife. The
prosecution called it one Of the ClrareSt
cases ever tried. The couple had scpa-
rated after IL quarrel. and the wife had
gona to live with a sister while seeking
Il divorce. The husband had made
threats Of personal violence. One even

house where she lived. That night she

and struck her down as she rose to
give he alarm.
When arrested. he was far away and
intending IT, leave the country. The
testimony of the detectives went 10
show that he betrayed many signs of
guilt when taken into custody and that
before being put OH trial he virtually
confessed to The murder. At the trial
the prisoner made no defense beyond
declaring his innocence. To the care
less observer lie seemed so weighted
down with his guilt that lie could not
arouse himself. The trial was little
better than II formality. and two or
three days later Barlow arrived at the
prison.
He was calm and quiet. and it WAS
couple of weeks before he woke up. as
it were. Us in the case of all other life
prisoners, he was put in solitary CON
fincmcnt for the first month. The time
had only half expired when he began
weeping. crying and shouting. and

His tears and rawlings We're taken as
the result of il guilty conscience. There
was 10 pity for him, but because he
continued to wall he was taken from
the SOLITARY" and put to work. 1t was
little work they could get out of him.
His fits of weeping prevented that. He
was lecturcd ly the deputy and the
warden but it seemed as if he could
not restrain himself.
1t is a rare thing to find one prisoner

on six weeks before he was an object Of
ridicul1 and contempt among the pris-
oners. and he was sternly told by the
authorities that if he didn't brace up he
would be punished. The man did his
best, as everybody came to believe, but
it was no Use. He tried suicide three

The Ease OF Wrong Juds,nents.

That is a penetrating sarcasm OF Georgs
Eliot's in Amos Barton" IT is so much
easier to say that thing is black, than to
discriminate the particular shade OF brown,
blue or green to which it really belongs. II
that your neighbor is good for nothing
than to enter into all the circumstances
that would ob.ige you to modify that opin.
ION" Everybody needs the suggestion that
is embodied in the above remark. Our
judgments of men are always more or less
defective. But it is the man who prides
himself on his outspokenness, the man who
thinks it would be cowardice to withhold
an opinion OF men and things, Partieniariy

brown or green is not black, and thai, in
nothing is 20 much discrimination needed

minuet which is perhaps the most
popular Of all Paderewskrs compost
tions. Paderewski, while professor
at the Conservatoire Of Warsaw. was
one evening at the house Of the Pol
ish poet, Swieztochowski, who ex-
pressed the opinion that no living
composer could compare with Mozart
in beauty and simplicity. At the mo-
ment Paderewski merely shrugged his
shoulders. but the following evening
he appeared and asked permission to
play his host little thing Of Mozart's.
which perhaps he did not know. He
played the minuet. Swieztochowslsi
was enraptured and cried triumphant.
ly:
Now you must acknowledge that a
piece like that could not have been
written In our time"
