4 FINE EXAMPLE

Of more worth than the money he lief, was the heritage of example to the descendants of Charles E. Perkins, for merIy president of tks Burlington Rail road system.
 With bis death has come forth the story of his action in the case of a brOk- en bank in which be had held stock to the value of $lo,OOO. Without his knowledge or consent, he had been named director. shortly before the doors were closed, Under the most SC were laws of the states he would be li- able only to the extent of $2O,OO0, yet Mr. Perkins dipped into his private fortune and gave $I OO),OOO for the re- imbursemen of the deposi,ors He did this without the least ostentation or boosting, and it was not until his friends became reminiscent that the story was told.
 Mir. Perkins was a rich mau, but the virtue of giving easily is not always conspicuous among the wealthy. Re- strictions and sometimes almost p-Ohib i,ive conditions attend many eudo%- ments for ch,rlty and education. A sense of responsibility beyond what the law calls for is not marked among the most generous of those ,who attend to philanthropy as au amusement of their years in retirement. The gift to the banks creditors was male at the time wben Mir Perkins was busiest in piling up his fortune, It was all the more praisewortby since it must have de- laved him in surreuderjng the labors to
 
 which he had given so many years
 He was too sensible a man to look on his action as matter of duty. He would kuow exactly the limitations of his obligations. But more than the ac- cumula,ion of dollars he considered his part in the construction Of great highway. The fortune was merely one of the rewards for this work aod was not to be reckonej the greatest If he put little value on applause, Mir. Per Iius took care that his name should be unsuIlied whatever the cost of keeping lt above reprOach.

MAKING MOCK AT MARRIAGE

When foolish girls come crying to the courts to get released from Obnox- ious husbands and sapheaded youths make moan over their matrimonial misfts, judges should ponder well be- fore they grant release and the general public should be slow in tapping their sympathy.
 Suppose, for the sake of argument, 1t were Miss Laura Hobart, of vineland, N.J., who tried to get iudIcal and lay approval to lose her hubby. She should have short aud unsucce ssiul shift in the matter. If she plunge9 into marriage in the headloug way newspaper par agraph indicates may be possible, then she should wear long the chains she makes for herseR.
 Mss Hobart was at a banquet in vineIaud last Tuesday night. One of the ireakiSh ceremonies was the draw ing of straws to indicate the one who should wed during the year or pay a penalty. As next year Is to be leap year, the ladies were allowed to par ticipate and 1t was Miss Hobart who drew the short straw, which made 1t obligatory for her to propose to man during the coming twelve months, or give dinner for the party.
 There are girls foolish e ough to take such dare seriously; just aS there are idiotic young fellows who would see in it something "real dew lish." The man or woman who would take such a partner with open eyes deserves to be fettered for life. It may be that Miss Hobart is of this gallery. If 50, its dollars to doughnuts her choice would be one that would natur- ally lead her to the courts.
 Take a kindier view of 1t, however. suppose that she should balk and pre-. fer to pay the penalty, Still more evil has been done than years. can make atouemsnt for.

GURAISOA IS RECOMMENDED

Ysstsrday's jury muddIe is regretta- bls from every point of view, but, after all, 1t Is exceedingly doubtful had the jury uos been dismissed by the court whether they would have arrived at a verdict. The division between them was almost impossible to overcome. That being the case, so far as the guilt or innocence of Dodson was concerned, would have remained the same as the action of Judge Guuuisou in dismissing lhe jurors has left 1t.
 Alderman Shea appears to have had DO intention to fly in the face Of the court with a disobedience or violation of the rules Of protection thrown around trial jurors; BaliT Black, while 6sreliot iu his failure to carry out the instructions Of the court, acted un shinkiugly, and that, to the laymau, ap. pears to be about all. The part taken by Juror schefler in taking the cigars from the bailifT was only a bit of horse play,
 Judge Gunnlson took a broad view Of the whole affair and his admoniJiOn to both jurors and the bajiG contained much common sense. The situation was we'll grasped by him, and while pointing out clearly the seriousness of the action, he did nice thing in handling the whole affair as charitabIy as he did. Judge Gunuisoa has made many admirers iu the present ins ance and gone long way in demonstrating that justice, mercy aud a thorough knowledge of human nature are a trin- isy in the use of which be is well schooIed.
