their respective solutions.
The party Of the first part Ito use n
legal phrasc) may argue their point In
this way:
Five shillings Is the fourth part of
pound. If you have IL shillings, or
thrcc-folirths of pound. ana some
body gives YOU another fourth part YOU
have sovereign ergo, your four
fourths IS oncfourth greater than
three fourths.
But this will not suit the other party
at all, ana they Will proceed scornfully
to point ont that the argument Is all
wrong, since &c you have 10 Shilings
and somebody is generous enough to

A TERRIBLE NEMESIS.

A dispatch from San Juan says
that when Nan Patterson heard
that District Attorney Jerome
had been reelected she became
hysterical and could not be COM
forted.
The Florodora girl who figured
in three trials for the murder of
''Caesar" Young and is at lib
erty under suspended sentence,
is said to be a nervous wreck.
With her husband she is in Porto
Rico seeking quiet.
But time and seclusion fail to
bring rest to one who is tired at
soul.
In the shadow of charge of
murder there is no peace.
The fact that any time upon
her return to the United States
Jerome may resume his prosecu-
ton of her hounds her continu-
ally.
Alienated indeed frorI her own
land and from peace is she who
mas the law, even it be perverted,
against her.
Restless is one above whose
head justice hangs, like the
sword of Damocles, suspended
by a slender thread.
Comfortless is the one whose
own conscience is ceaseless
torment.
Poor Mani She is learning
the old, old lesson that there are
things worse than death-that
the name of liberty is mockery
when the soul is imprisoned for
life in the gloom Of remorse and
fear.
