THERE IS NO HIGHER LAW THAN
REASON.

DoEn In Virginia an educated and
Ematared citizen has been acquitted of
Egnurder because he had been told that
1.-THE victim had offended. His lawyers
efook the position that IL he believed
the stories told him, he was warrant
ed in killing. whether or not the
stories were true. Something OF the
same sort was employed by the de-
Tense In the Thaw case. And 1t is not
a good defense. 1t is not properly
designated as ''the higher law" There
is no higher law than reason.
1t was told to this Virginia man that
q young fellow had acted badly toward
&as daughter. The young man was
SAID to have taken her buggy riding.
@nd induced her to drink liquor. later
leaving her in q helpless condition.
What really happened, what was the
extent Of the offense against the girls
life or health or honor. the father did
mot know before he killed the young
anan. But he based his entire defense
on the statement that had been made
20 him by third parties, who could
nave no adequate information.
Now, that is not enough warrant
3 dor the taking OF human life. 1t is
snot alone transgression of all human
law. but it is contravention of any
higher law that men may apprehend.
II that be a good defense, any man
may kill person against whom he
Scherishes a grudge. and allege In de-
-4ense that he had been informed that
-ssuch person had been guilty of some
great offense. The fact that such in
Formation was unfounded has no bear
Ing on the case. 1t had none In the
Virginia case. Not a whit of injury
10 the young woman by the young
man was proved at the trial by way
~of legal defense. The whole case de-
pended on the fathers reliance on the
statement that an injury had been in
Micted. He did not under the curious
ccode now coming into fashion, have to
nwait until he had determined If there
= were amy truth in the reports brought
ITO him.
IT would be well to hold fast the
3old rules of evidence, the old guides
on conduct. There is no higher law
than reason. If child is harmed. So
'ciety may excuse the parent who, in
q reason-rocking rage, strikes the Of
fender and kills him. But society viii
REQUIRE that that rage is caused by an
INJURY actually committed.
1.-The good old rules of reason are
ADEQUATE for all human use and for
the protection of society.--rnter.

There was Il beaming, balmy smile
ON Mr. Bowser's face as lie came home
from the Office the other evening, and
as Mrs. Bowser met him ut the door
he put his arm around her and called
her ''oll girl and said he had been
thinking OF her all the afternoon. Be-
fore sitting down to dinner lie insisted
,on stroking her hair and holding her
hand. and all through the meal he
spoke in her praise and plainly told
her that he didn't hold her responsible
for the size Of the gas bills. Now and
then he would burst into laughter and
slap his leg and ask what she was go
ing to do when they reached Paris and
If she thought she would enjoy seeing
the room in the Tower of London
where Louis NNI. was beheaded.
Mrs. Bowser could not make him out.
sbut she knew that he had news Of
some kind to communicate and that he
would &c: around to it after the meal.
She was right. Hc kept it to himself
until he had his cigar alight. and then,

Then he slid out Of his chair under
the reading table and knew no more.
French counts, huckleberries, logwood
and alcohol were no more to him. The
profits had been enormous, and he had
made his millions. 1t was a warm
night, and Mrs. Bowser slipped a sofa
pillow under his head and turned out
the gas and went upstairs to bed and
left him by his lonesome.

antic. When I reached the office

lantlc. When 1 reached the office I
found a gentleman named Dubois
waiting for me. He was count be-
fore the French republic. He was not
| only count, but he was worth his
millions. When the nobility had to go
he found himself poor man. Some
counts would have committed suicide,
but he was not that sort Of count.
He cast around for a way to rebuild
his fortunes. After many failures and
disappointments he has finally struck
it. That's what brought him over to
see me-"
"But he didn't come over from France
especially to see you, did he?" asked
Mrs. Bowser.
Certainly. He came straight to the
office from the steamer. He came to
see Bowser first Of all. He would have
waited all day for me to come in. Mrs.
Bowser, want you to know that your
husband is just as we'll known in Eu-
rope, Asia and Africa as in America.
The count had scheme to lay before
me, and, being business man, he
+, didn't waste any time. Do you know
the value of the French wines made
every year?'
II have no idea."
! "Over OO,OOO,OOO, my dear. Two
thirds of them are made Of grapes, but
F, the other one-third of something else.
1 The profit on them Is enormous. There
is no earthly reason why French wines
can't be made right here in our own
city. All you have to do is to mix up
=, the stuff and put French label on the
bottle. The count came over to pro-
pose a business partnership, and am
! going in With him. Scuse me min-
ute, DEAR
1 He stepped out into the hall, and this
time there was no mistake about the
gurgle. There was a glad light in his
1 eyes as he returned, but he had to
I scratch his head and look up at the
ceiling before he could remember where
he left off, and continues:
Enormous profits, Mrs. Bowser-
enormous. Five bushels Of the Amer
lean huckleberry, together with one
! gallon Of alcohol, two pounds of log
wood and ten barrels Of water, make
$4,000 worth of the best French wines;
clear profit, $45,OOO. Any gold mine
to beat that? Fat your husband on the
back and call him bully boy. I at
tend to the huckleberry part and the
count to the rest. I advertise in the
morning paper for 10000 bushels Of
lhuck-huck''-
There was no longer room to doubt
Mr.. Bowser's condition. He was smil-
ing feebly and looking up at the cell
ing, and he seemed to have come to
the end Of his story. Mrs. Bowser
passed around behind him and took q
pint bottle of some dark liquid from
his breast pocket. There were but q
few sips left in the bottle. The CUR.
CLING noise was explained.
"What do you call this?' she asked.
"Zhat? That's our huch-huckle cherry
wine. Count had q bottle Of it all
ready made for me. Mrsh. Bowsher,

"You deserve all you are going to
get. When think Of how happy you
will be 1t makes me rejoice"
'But what am going to get?" she
asked.
"And your mother-she is good
woman, mighty good woman. She
is my mother-in-law, but I think Just
as much of her as If she were my own
dear mother. The good old soul, but
I'd like to hug her. will make her
one Of the happiest women in the
world. and she shall bless the day

"But what is all this mystery about?
What has happened during the day?"
"Mystery-ha, ha, ha! No mystery
about 1t, dear. We are simply about
to become millionaires ten times over.

He passed into the library and was
gone minute and half and then
reappeared licking his lips. Mrs. Bow
ser shifted the air and detected IN
aroma, but couldn't exactly define it.
Mr.. Bowser's smile was now both pa
ternal and benignant. and, sitting
down with a chuckle, he said:

Mrs. Bowser thought of the hundred
and one schemes he had originated
and made failure of, but it was no
time to furnish a list of them. She
wanted to hear what his latest was.
He again asked to be excused and
lodged out into the hall for couple
Of minutes. She thought she heard a
gurgling in his direction. but was moi
sure. When he returned he said:
"You know what the huckleberry f.
