HAS REAL GRIEVANCE
Prisoner Suffers Inconvenience in an
Indian Jail.

a prisoner in RampOre Boalla jail
has a clear grievance against the gov
eminent. There are certain incon-
veniences inseparable from prison life
which all reasonable criminals more
or less unwillingly accept, but the
most complaisant draw the line at be-
ing marked down and clawed by a
leopardess in the seclusion of the
prison yard. The animal seems to
have been inspired by suffragette-
like curiosity as to the inside of a
prison. and having got in by the high
~ irregular method Of leaping the
wall she ensconced herself among the
low brick piers on which the old bar
racks are raised from the ground In
the early afternoon she espied a pris-
oner in the yard clearing up, and like
the impulsive creature she is. prompt
ly leaped upon him, striking him to
the ground and clawing his back.
Then, with the fickleness of her sex.
she suddenly changed her mind, and
in an access of shyness ran away and
hid herself among the brick pillars.
Now Col. R. r. Weir, inspector general
of prisons, happened to be in the vii
lage, and to him the incident was re-
ported Though it cannot be said that
the duties of an inspector general of
prisons included the destruction of
vermin, Col. Weir did not stop to con-
slider technicalities, but borrowed a
rifle. After some difficulty in getting
within striking distance of the in
truder as she lay in her fastness. he
succeeded in planting his first shot
behind her shoulder, after which
nothing remained to be done but to
drag off the carcass and record it's
tape measurements as more than
seven feet.-London Daily Telegraph.

Decay of Laughter In ENGLAND

I am perfectly certain that half our
ills are due to the fact that we do not
laugh enough. A good, sincere smile
is something rare in these times, a
laughing face" is scarce, and it is
seldom indeed that one hears a good.

Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-As member OF the Anti Saloon
League OF Virginia. and an ardent adj
vocate OF temperance reform, l wish
to. thank you for the kindly editorials
regarding our work in the State, and
am especially gratified that you have
opened the eUes OF tho State to the
fact that we are not q parcel OF
fanatics. but are working along con-
servative lines. and not trying to force
our views ahead OF public sentiment.
We fully recognize that pubic senti-
ment can and will carry any point II
decides upon. and that 1t Is supreme.
also think you did a great work
In your fight for tho early closing orr
Hdinance. which I am sure will lessen
the evils OF the liquor traffic In your
city. I also think you are now doing
a good thing in advocating high
license. 1t should be $1,000 at least,
and. as you say, that would cut out a
good many of the worst type and there
by lessen the evil. I think the license
is $1,000 in Chicago and $1,000 in
Clarksville. Va.
1t Is very gratifying to see our
metropolitan paper advocating meas
ures that tend to uplitt our people to
higher and better things in life. God
grant that We may all join in the
idea OF being willing to spend and be
spent in trying to advance The cause
of virtue, honor and morality III the
grand old Commonwealth OF Virginia.

AN EXPENSIVE TnAp1r1oN.

A bill will be introduced In the Mary
land Legislature. to abolish the moss
back custom OF engrossing bills.
If some member OF the Forthcoming
Virginia Legislature Will Introduce n
similar measure and engineer II
through he will perform public SER
vice. The practice Of cngrossing bills
Is troublesome, expensive and dilatory.
Why 1t Is continued in Virginia we
do not know except 1t be to make Jobs
for clerks. 1t would be far more sensi-
Bile, convenient and economical to have
tho bills printed, as is done in Con-
gress. But 1t is hard to wean the Viz
GINA people from old traditions and
customs. Nobody can give sensible
reason for the engrossment OF every
bill on an enormous sheet Of thick
paper before 1t becomes law; but 1t
is custom, and because our fathers
did 1t we must do1it.
The Times-Dispatch has due rever-
ence for the traditions but 1t does not
believe that man should cling to the
honorable stage coach, merely because
his father and his fathers father
travelled in that way. Tradition wor-
ship may be carried to an absurdity.
Many Of our traditions Of State govern
nent should be honorably retired, and
the engrossment of bills is one Of
them. e-l Hi $3.50

THE rpEwArER noAp.

The completion OF the Richmond and
Chesapeake Bay Railroad to Ashland
is an event worthy to be celebrated In
this community. It would be well
worth while to have q trolley line to
Ashland, for every such road builds
up the intervening country and en-
ables Richmond to branch out. But
this road will not stop at Ashland. II
is one OF the best built roads in the
United States, and is built for steam
cars. Many believe that 1t will event
ually be extended to the North and
connect with Mr.. Gould's Wabash sys-
tenn. But II 1t does not reach Wash
ington. it is sure to be extended to the
Rappahannock River-probably to Tap
pahannock-and will open up to Rich
mond trade one of the richest sections
of the State. The trade from that re-
gion now goes to Baltimore because
1t must; but the people wish to trade
with Richmond. and will do so when
a line of communication Is established
The prospect is bright. Mr.. Gould has
dona great deal to develop the coun-
try around Richmond, but nothing
which no has done will be comparable
to the Underwater road. For many years
citizens Of Richmond have been trying
to devise some means to build road
to Tappahannock.a Now we are to get
1t without any effort on our part. II
was a lucky chain OF circumstances
that turned the Gould interests in this
direction.

"Son. remember."-St Luke xvi. 20.
The words are put into the mouth
of Abraham, but Abraham is here the
representative OF God; God is the real
speaker.
They are spoken to q human soul
in the scene Of punishment, In this
connection many have been struck
with the word remember" 1t sug-
gests the continuity Of memory In a
future life But the most powerful ex-
preston is the but seldom noticed,
the little word "son." That a man in
state Of retribution should experience
the burden OF memory Is not wonder
full; retribution demands memory. But
that man In q scene Of retribution
should still be addressed as son of
God-that is a startling thing! 1t is
as beautiful as 1t is startling. and 1t
Is as true as 1t is beautiful.
Wherever you and I may pass at
death, we shall never pass out Of the
Divine Fatherhood, nor out OF the
Divine pity.
The man In this parable who is
meeting retribution. is not punished
by his Father: he is punished by his
own SIM. If child, In disobedience to
an earthly father. goes near a fire and
Is burned, you would not say he was
punished by his father. 1t would really
be more correct to say that his father
shared his penalty, The sense OF hui
man parentage Is never so strong as
when the father realizes the child's
pain; 1t Immediately becomes his own
pain and sorrow.
So 1t is with the Divine Father. The
hlial relation is not broken when I
burn myself-no flame can consume
that cord
Paul asks: "Who shall separate us
from the love OF Christ? Shall

secution. or famine, or nakedness,
or peril, or sword7 - am per-
