mire in it. And the ADglO.Saxon Of Virginia held
that criminal laws were made to prevent crime ra-
her than for the purpose Of destroying the offender.
Their notion is justified by the fact that though
the spirit OF the Virginia criminal code is the mild
est the proportion of crime to population there is
probably as small smaller than in any other part
of America.
Our criminal laws recognize many degrees OF
crime for which longer shorter terms of imprson
ment are provided. But the diegraco and degrada-
tion Of penal sentence such that the shortest
term in the Penitenary is apt to destroy the convict
almost as effectually as a term for life.
To correct this inequality, to "make the punish
ment fit the crime' more exactly, society would be
the gamer by giving better help the convict capa
ble Of reformation. If Barclays divine seed is not
altogether dead it is worth nOurishing. This seems
to be the spirit of modern prison reform. The dis
card.ng of Penitentiary stripes in institutions
and the Pententiary school in Kansas are advanced
steps toward making of shOrt-term convict some
thing better than outcast after his term is done.

Mr.. JyA. Taylor president o. ne National Gin
that for the i've years from Sept 4 1885, to Sept. \
1898, the consumption was 4 $50 bales on an av
erage Of about 47O bales annually, During this
period the average price Was about ak cents pound
on the farm. From Sept. 1, 1903, the consumption
was 63, 49, 1872 bales, or an average Of 1O647 LAG

we're two strong reasons for this view. One was
that the cotton farmer holding the key to the stua

was that it had been demonstrated within the last

In gancng at these figures it is well to bear in

CHlLD'S SIMPLE FAITH.
Was Told God Would Take Care of
Him and Was Not
Afraid

A friend told this story from real
life the other day. writes Rev. C. B.
Mitchell, in the New York Observer.
"A wild storm was raging around a
prairie home one night. The windows
were blown in and no lights could be
kept burning. 1t was only with diff
Guilty that the doors could be braced
against the blast. The father was alb
sent from home, and the mother,
grandmother and three children sat in
the darkness in a room on the shell
tered side of the house, fearing that
at any moment the house might be
swept from the foundations by the
force of the wind.
Suddenly 11-year-old Walter was
missed. He had been holding a whis-
pered conversation with his grand
mather only a few moments before
Frantic with fear, the mother called
him at the top of her voice, and, re-
ceiving no reply, started to grope her
way through the darkness and confu-
sion of the house, to find, If possible,
the missing boy.
She found him in his room-sound
asleep, And when she asked how he
could go to sleep when they were all
in danger, he simply replied:
why, mamma, grandma told me
God would take care of US, and
thought 1 might as well go to bed
