Pointed Paraoraphs,

Truly great men never remind you of

Posthumous praises are like gold
stripes on hearse.
Experience is a teacher whose les
sons should be learned once for all.
Many n man who knows what is
right lacks the courage to do it.
One who predicts thunderstorms

A genius is n man who does things
that lazy people say it is impossible to
| do
| Keep your secret from your friends
and your enemies will never get next
| to it.
A mans friends are usually willing
TIC stay by him as long as he has n
dollar
Not every man can get an increase
of salary on the strength of his self
esteem.
Wise is the candidate who can con-
vince the voters that the Office is seek
ing him.
At the glorious feast of knowledge
some people never get any farther
than the soup.
Nothing Anglers a-man like the si-
lence of his wife when he attempts to
quarrel with her.
If every woman's> face were her for
tune some would be liable to arrest for
counterfeiting..
If a man would secure his wife's I'M
divided attention all he has to do is to
talk in his sleep.
In case of emergency it is some
times advisable to reward the man
who helped you to emerge.
Many deluded man who thinks he

on that the woman married him.

The Miracle of the Blossoms.

They come out of the silence
OF the long winter night;
They rouse themselves from dreaming
And burst into the light;
The brown branch CLEANS with beauty,
With swaying pink and white
The picture of the springtime
On valley, plain and height.
They flash into their being
Upon the waking trees,
And bring the song of summer
With grooming honey bees
That hum their lazy chantings
In all their drowsy keys
Gay April comes with blossoms
A-trailing to her knees.
All pink and white and purple
In radiance they fling
Their perfume through the orchards,
Where all the brecZes sing;
They splash the silent meadows
With daisies slimmering.
The coming of the blossoms
The miracle of spring.

ton received what is generally regard
ed as light sentence, but no sentence
to State prison, no matter for how
short a period, for young man with
the prospects that Leighton had before
he yielded to temptation can be re-
garded as light. 1t is the mental pun
ishment that counts most in such
cases. and that is no less with six
years Imprisonment than with ten or
twenty. The deterrent effect too of
six years on men in the position that
Leighton was will be just as great as
a longer sentence. With the profess
sional criminal the case is different.
Having already lost his reputation and
standing in the community his pun
ishmcnt is chiefly physical. II comes
from his confinement and not from
any rerorse or mental anguish which
he suffers. for he suffers little in that
way. Double the sentence that Leigh
