Judge William l.. Putnam, Of Port
land, Maine, said recently, anent IAN
unjust punishment:
This case brings to my mind
quaint old story that | came upon the
other day in a history of the kings OF
France.
There was certain rich man. who
said an unkind and unchivalrous thing
about a poor mans daughter. The
poor man waited upon the rich man
and took him to task, whereupon the
latter, overcome with rage, seized
heavy club, and at one stroke put the
poor man TO death.
For this crime the rich man was
tried. His wealth-this happened,
YOU must remmeber, centuries ago
worked in his favor, and the sentence
imposed on him was that he must not
sell fruit in his shop for the space OF
three years. Had he been a fruiterer
in this punishment there would have
been some hardship. But he was not
a fruiterer at all. He was baker.
THE murdered poor man had son,
a young soldier in the kings army.
When the young soldier heard of his
fathers killing and of the ridiculous
sentence given to his slayer, he has

Balzac's Method Of Work

Thus only, in nation Of stylists.
could the man that never achieved
a style make himself the first novel
list of his day and a classic.
Wearing and wasting as this ira
vail was, Balzac's splendid strength of
body, the sure and ready return of
his inspired and seer-like periods, his
quenchless belief in himself and in
trepid faith in the future, enabled him
to continue it, with minimum of re-
pose, for thirty-one successive years.
And what a bulk of work! From 1921
to 1924 he wrote thirty volumes; and
in 1924 he was but 20 years of age,
and had not even begun to think of
the Coincide Humane
Between 1880 and 1912 seventy
nine novels of the Comedy saw the
light; and with all this the great work
was never completed. On his death
bed he pleaded with his doctor for
six months, six weeks, six days in
which to consummate his task, and
sank into coma while pleading for sly
hours"

he will reply that he prefers the smoky
native oil to the imported article. as
the smoke drives away the mosqui-
toes and malaria" Ten years ago
such a statement would have been
ridiculed. but to-day, in the flush of
the discovery of the transmitting
agency of the malarial parasite, the
association of the mosquito and MAJ

say the least.
Another case in point of recent dis

Upon my sheaf OF letters lies.
This dark December morning,
A picture of Italian skies,
The sober heap adjoining;
A vision of purple bay.
A town all red and yellow.
How dreary is our winter, gray
Beside that sunshine mellow!
But though your southern paradise
A moment sets us longing,
We treasure more " we are wise
The good to us belonging
When YOU to the Campanian shore
Fled with the tickle swallow,
You left some neighbors at our door,
Like us, who could not follow.
Az round us TO receive their dole
They crowd and flock together,
we grow akin to them In soul,
And almost of one feather.
Veal in the barren. roseless hours
When frost the ground doth harden.
The birds shall be our winter flowers,
And blossom In our garden.
There tits and blue-caps starlings too.
Now take their summer wages;
The place would be just like the zoo,
Only IL has no cages.

Outdoor relief for all is spread.
But robins. when they're able.

And breakfast on the table.
And oft. when heavy with the snow
The laurel boughs are dropping.
Great gulls with wings like Cupid's bow
Come DER the banquet swooping. \
Here one and all. this truce OF Goj7
Their wilder nature tanning. 10
Tread fearless as through Eden trod
The beasts for Adams naming.
Enjoy who will the crs4g1 South
Where weakness goes unpitied.
Where larks are dainties for the mouth,
And thrushes shared and spitted!
Our weather may be somewhat hard.
But surely men are harder
When tiny songsters they regard

Come rain or snow. come hail or rhine.
We, tethered here by duty.
Envy you not your softer cline
Nor all its garish beauty.
But draw we nearer to our friends
The way that Winter taught us,
And nobly shall he make amends
For any ills he brought us.
