Young Man Accused of Steal
ing Brass Weary of End
less Postponing.
GIVEN LIGHT SENTENCE.
TO SERVE IN COUNTY JAIL,
BUT PERHAPS THAT is PUNISH
MENT ENOUGH.

Gus Kroma, who has been cooling
his heels in the city Jail for the past
five days, decided late Saturday aft
ernoon that he was guilty of stealing
a quantity of brass from Gaar, Scott &
Company and entered this plea before
Judge Converse. Kroma got off much
lighter than he expected. being fined
only ST and costs and given a ten
days sentence. The five days he
served in the city jail will be taken
in account on his sentence, so Kroma
will only have to serve sixteen days
in the county Jail.
Kroma was arrested last Monday by
Sergeant McManus while trying to
sell some brass which he had appro-
priated on Sthe premises of Gaar,
Scott & Company. One piece of brass
was valued at $12.
Kroma was arraigned in the city
court Tuesday morning and entered
plea of not guilty. He also stated that
he was not ready for trial and at his
request the hearing of the case was
postponed until Wednesday morning.
Tuesday afternoon Kroma retained
Attorney B. C. Robbins to defend him
and when the case was called Wednes-
day morning Mr.. Robbins asked that
the hearing again be postponed until
Thursday morning.
Third Postponement.
When Thursday came the case was
again postponed at the request of Mr..
Robbins until Friday morning. At that
time Mr. Robbins was on hand ready
TO fight the case to the last ditch and
he requested that jury be secured.
Prosecutor Jessup, however, inter
fered, stating that he had case in
the circuit court so it was decided to
again postpone the trial until Satur-
day afternoon at o'clock.
In the meantime Kroma had been
languishing in the city jail, which is
about as cheerful a place as the Black
Hole of Calcutta He appeared in po-
lice court Saturday afternoon and to
his great disgust it was decided to
postpone his hearing until Monday
morning Once more he was led back
to the city jail. Dispairing of ever
having his trial, Kroma summoned Of
ficer Vogelsong about O'Clock and
told him that he was willing to plead
guilty, that he was almost ready to
do anything to get out of the city jail.
In surprisingly quick time he was led
into the city court where he entered
his plea and received his sentence.
Moral: Justice is sure but slow.

Mrs. Wilson's husband was often
obliged to go to New York on busi-

home until the arrival of the midnight
train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the
habit of sleeping peacefully at these

QUALITIES OF Wit AND HUMoR.
Alike, Yet in Many Ways Fundament.
ally Different.

Wit and humor are such elemental
fundamental things that it has always
been found difficult to analyze them,
says writer in The Atlantic. Upon
some points, however, those who have
essayed this puzzling task agree, for
they all hold that wit is an intel
lectual, humor an emotional, quality;
that wit is a perception OF resem-
blance, and humor perception OF
contrast, of discrepancy, Of incongru-
ity. The incongruity is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance; and per-
haps it might be added that 1t is al
ways or almost always a moral In
congruity. In the case both Of wit
and humor there is also pleasurable
surprise, gentle shock, which ac-
companies our perception Of the hith.
erto unsuspected resemblance or in
congruity. A New England farmer
was once describing in the pres
ence of a very humane person the
great age and debility Of horse that
he formerly owned and used. "You

obscure place, for the purpose OF

A New York bank cashier stole $780,
600 because woman told him to do
It. 1t is wonderful how well men obey
women sometimes. There are many
cases of this kind on record since the
day Adam took the apple just to please
Eve, but how few are the instances of
which we have record where men
have wandered back from the paths of
Gin and pleasure just because woman
told them to! And 1t is all the more
remarkable, too, because that has
been woman's chief occupation since
she made the acquaintance of man.

SERMONETTE.

D hour made David a murderer.
z Little did he think on that first
Z night Of pleasure to what awful
< depths his Sin was to lead him.
3 But the pathway of sin leads
. downward and ever farther and
Z farther away from God. One
Z wrong step Is taken In the de-
5 sire to crafty some unhoIy long,
D ing and then a dozen more
Z steps are found necessary in the
attempt to cover up the traces
( of the sinful conduct.
, The progressiveness Of sin is
( one Of its most striking char
< acteristics. No one starts out
s with the purpose, or even ex-
} pectation, Of becoming a mur.
Z derer. The boy with his first
( glass, or his first night out
in questionable companionship,
} does not stop to think what the
} full fruition Of his first mis-
( step may be. The man who
takes his first fling at specula-
ton does not see himself an en-
} bezzIer behind the bars, dis
J grace and suffering brought
upon his innocent wife and chill
{ dren. He begins with the ex.
, pectation Of winning and ac-
} curing riches quickly. Perhaps
he does win and Is tempted to
!, go in more heavily. He loses,
and then borrows that he may
} speculate further to retrieve his
losses. Again he loses. He
must have money to pay the
loan. He betrays his trust and
takes the money he needs from
his employer, or from funds en-
trusted to his care, expecting to
pay 1t back as soon as his luck
, turns, as he says. And so it
goes on, step at time, until
at last he Is ruined beyond the
hope OF recovery. And so II is
with any sinful course upon
which one may enter.
If it takes 30 lies to cover up
the first lie told, so is It with
, other forms of sin, it takes in
Vulnerable wrongs to cover up
and hide the first wrong done.
But what folly for the soul to
think that 1t can cover and hide
it's sin. "Be sure your sin will
find you OUT" is the solemn
warning OF Scripture.
And again Gods Word de.
clares that "he that covereth his
sins shall not prosper"
What utter folly then for the
human heart to 90 bIindIy on In
, sin, thinking that 1t can deceive
God and man. Some day all the
sinful conduct will be revealed
in all It's awfuiness.
The power to resist sin Is
} weakened the farther one goes
on in his sinful course. In
Proverbs 5:22 the sins are
Iikened unto cords that bind
one.
There comes to mind the
story of Gulliver In the land of
the LilIiputs. The tiny crea-
lures bound the great giant
with their frail, filmy threads,
which he might have blown
away with breath, out which
in the aggregate formed strong
cord which covered him like
web and rendered him power
less to resist the attacks of his
little enemies. So is IT with sin.
Let Us remember, also, that
however much we may deceive
the world, we cannot' deceive
God. my sins are not hid from
thee" cxcIaims the psaimist.
Neither more are yours and I
mine.
