Judge Bishop of the Superior court has dealt righteously in sending to the house of correction for three months Benjamin A. Smith of Hamilton, chauffeur for Frederick H. Prince, for reckless driving while intoxicated. The prisoner had pleaded guilty. His story was that on the evening of Sep tember l5, he went to Boston alone and started drinking. On the way to Lynn, through Chelsea, he stopped at bar room and picked up another man, also drunk. On the Revere beach parkway, near the Point of Pines, he ran into stone wall and smashed his employ CTS automobile. There were present in the court room to testify to the young mans character the three se-
 ectmen of Hamilton, Judge Hayes of ipswich and Judge Norwood of Hamil- ton. Counsel for Smith at first said he would not put the distinguished wit nesses upon the stand, but when the court told the clerk to affirm the sen- tence of the lower court, the lawyer begged to be allowed to present evil dence in behalf of the character of his client, saying that he also had let ters of recommendation from Con- gressman Gardner and the defendants pastor. Judge Bishop, however, re- fused to listen to the testimony or look at the letters, saying
 "The punishment which ought to be awarded for jeopardizing the lives of others by the reckless handling of an automobile is not to be measured by the responsibility of young man or the responsibility of his friends. l should be unfit to award punishment If I should de. criminate between the unlettered and less favored and him of better class. 1 assume that what your witnesses say will be favorable. but I cannot consider it, knowing that though the automobile is properly an instrument of comfort and pleasure, in the hands of drunken man it be- comes an instrument of death and haz- ard"
 Truer words were never spoken than these of Judge Bishop, and it is to be hoped that the case of this young man will be taken note of throughout the state. All the while this chauffeur, filled with drink, was running the ma- chine. it was indeed "an instrument of death and hazards. /" For such an out break on the public highway the pen alty of three months in the house of correction seems small.-[Springfeld Republican.

Training Twins. A pair of twin boys, down in New Jersey, distinguished themselves, on their first day of school, by climbing to the top of the ire es- cape on the school building, much to the terror of the teacher. These twins are real boys and up to all sorts of boy capers. As near alike as twn peas in looks, dispositions, and habits of thought, their growth and develop
 ment will be an interesting study. Will they both follow the same busi- ness or profession in later life? Or will their paths diverge? Will one be a man of steady habits and re- spected in his community and the other a ne'er do we'll? If both get the same training and opportunity the probabil- ity is that their careers will parallel, but if one is trained along modern lines by conscientious teachers, with a definite end in view. and the other giv- en over to the haphazard handling of inexperience, it needs no prophet to foretell the result. On both of these interesting boys Mir Cunningham pro-
