The failure of Harry Thaw to OBJ
tain his release from custody is a
highly desirable outcome Of the habeas
corpus proceedings instituted in his be-
half. There is no doubt the effect upon
a public opinion already sufficiently
cynical as to the efficiency and rech-
tude of our laws would have been Of
the worst If Thaw had proceeded so
promptly from the dock to absolute
freedom. Only one Interpretation
would have been put upon this Sc
quence by the average American
secure privilege of the rich. The rough
reasoning of the public at large would
have brushed aside the possibility of
recovery and would have struck
straight at the fact that by a liberal
expenditure from the Thaw millions
experts" and shrewd counsel had first
saved Thaw from the consequences of
his act by establishing one hypothesis
and then saved him from the conse-
quences following upon this hypothesis
sometimes is cured. But the judge
who committed Thaw to Matteawan
gave 1t as his opinion, based upon the
opinion of authorities in alienism, that
Thaw's type of alteration was incur
able. This declaration would have
given to the popular opinion final
certainty that Thaw had evaded the
law. Happily the public has escaped
this disturbing conclusion and the adj
ministration of justice has been saved
from another blow in the popular esti.
matiin. 1t is devoutly to be hoped
that, not only for the safety Of those
upon whom a recurrence of Thaw's
mania might be wreaked but for the
welfare of the public at large, the
courts of New York will not take
chances with his case, When Thaw Ia
proved sane and permanently cured
beyond a reasonable doubt, let him be
allowed to go free. But not till that
proof Is given.

EASY HOSPITALITY.
Food Abundance i'm Virginia I'm the
Seventeenth Century.


Seventeenth Century.
Few countries Of the world have
possessed so abundant and varied a
supply Of food as Virginia during the
seventeenth century This party ex-
plains, writes T.. A. Bruce In Social
Century" the hospitable disposition of
tho people even in those early times.
The herds Of cattle, which ran almost
wild, afforded an inexhaustible supply
Of milk, butter, cheese, veal and beef
Deer were shot in such numbers that
people cared little for venison. So
abundant were chickens that they were
not included In the inventories of per,
sonal estates. No planter was so bad
" Off that he could not have a fowl
on his table at dinner.
Vast tiocks Of wild ducks and geese
frequented the rivers and bays and
were looked on as the least expensive
portion of the food which the Virgin
ians had to procure. Fish of the most
delicate and nourishing varieties were
caught with hook or net. Oysters and
shellfish could be scraped up by Che
hushel from the bottom of the nearest
inlet or tidal stream.
Apples, peaches, plums and figs grew
In abundance. Not only were grapes
cultivated, but excellent varieties grew
wild through the forest. Such an
abundance Of wild Strawberries could
be gathered that no attempt was made
to raise the domestic berry.
The watermelon fiourished, and in
hominy, the roasting ear and corn poae
the Virginians possessed articles OF
food of great excellence, which were
entirely unknown to the people of the

SQUARE DEAL FOR THE CHILDREN.
By Judge B. B. Lindsey of Denver.

The child is a wonderful creature; divine
machine We have much to expect from him,
but he has much to expect from US, and what
he returns depends largely upon what we give.
We shall suffer with him, whether we will
or not If we do not share his burdens. Let
us not weary Of the struggle until the child
gets square deal, for until he does we can
not have and do not deserve to have the man.

The fight was on!
1t was two good hours of pot

Eventually the cleverly crisis

and there, dropping to one knee,
he snatched two revolvers from

done, he dropped his weapons and
