True humility bows lower as pros perity rises higher.
 A gloomy religion is as misleading as a gllstening sin.
 Only the unworthy cause will use unworthy means.
 It Is hard to believe in a clean relig- ion in dirty church.
 It takes two to make quarrel, but only one may make peace.
 We are too altrulstic over duties and egotistic over rewards.
 The only way to flee the vengeance of sin is to fear Its venom.
 Better to endure Satan's buffeting than to enjoy his banqueting.
 God makes the gates of heaven and man cannot even measure them.
 Many trust God for a crown and go right on worrying over crumbs.
 Long wind with God will not coun- terbalance short weight with men.
 Big guns do not always get the big game.

THE WEIGHT OF INNOCENCE
After Negro's Unsupported Plea the
 Jury Wouldn't Convict.

SOhNiCts
 Ben Boyd, a tall negro miner from the Indian Territory. was before the Circuit Court recently on charge of attempting to murder his comrade, Central Coal and Coke Company's col leries at Ardmore. Boyd was without money and friends. The court appoint ed a lawyer to defend him, as he in- sisted he was not guilty.
 After conferring with the defendant and several negro miners, the prison CTS counsel came back in the court room and said
 Your honor. 1 don't care about de feEding this man; he says he's inno- cent, but he hasn't got any witnesses. and all the negroes down there tell me it was most unprovoked case of at tempted murder. have suggested that he plead guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the court. but he won't do It."
 The court told Boyd that was the besN thing for him to do, as the jury migh' give him ten years.
 II wants a trial, I does" said Boyd.
 But you haven't got any witnesses. remarked his attorney.
 Don't make any difference; wants to tell my story"
 Witness after witness made the case black against the prisoner. They said be had got mad at Turner for nothing and hit him a crushing blow with a was turned and while he was moving away. It was late at night when the prisoners time came to tell his story. He got up from the chair and gave a dramatic illustration of his fight with the prosecuting witness.
 "Gem'mens of de jury" he said, "I wouldn't hit dat man if he let nc alone, but he got mad cause didn't { say please and he come at me with his eyes sparkling like a snake. and callin' me all dem names I done tole you about. He tole me he was goin' ter kill me and grabbed fer dat pick, but I beat him to 1t and tapped him on de side of de head and he fell like a sick hoss. I could a killed him If I wanted to when he lay dere. but I didn't do 1t. Desc niggers dat come on here agin me has got 1t in fer me and wan to sen me up; da made 1t all 'mong themselves. Dat man would a killed me ef hadn't hit i'm, and dat's All dere Ia to it."
 During bis speech the negro waved his hands like an orator and became so earnest that he cried. It was prac- tically all the defense made. The jury wrestled with the problem all night and finally reported they could not agree.
 Then the negro offered to plead guilty to common assault and take twenty days in jail. It was a striking vindication of an untutored mans self consciousness of innocence.-St. Louis Republic.
