The article in this issue bearing

Of administer the machinery OF the
law for the best effects of society,
here or in any other section.
The anarchistical element lies be-
heath the smooth veneer OF a

erage citizenship, than most OF
us suspect, and only the vlgliant
administration of the laws that
conserve to society as whole the
best protection and happiness,
keep dormant the vicious propen-

One Of the ills growing out OF in

the law stalk forth. During the
last two years our Judge has seen
At 10 pretermit the Summer term
Of Court, which leaves US only one
session q year, that of the winter
term In February His reasons for
dsing this were to avoid a mid
summer sitting at this court house,
which 10 not furnished with electric
fans, and to that cause, is very I'M
comfortable at such season of year.
However, the pretermitment usual
" carries with it the idea that a
special term will be held at a more
convenient and later time in the
year. This does not seem to fit
happily In with the schedule over
che district rs it is now arranged,
and the consequence is, that the
fall term does not materialize. OF
course circumstances are largely at
fault here. The schedule needs re-
arranging to throw Greens court
in the early spring and late fall.
In order for the law to have its
proper majestic swing, regular
terms Of criminal assizes should be
held every six months. That is
not only should it DO expected that

District Attorney Mcneil of Jack
son is in receipt of letter from
a well known detective agency said
to be one of the foremost in the
United States, in which plan for the
running blind tigers to earth was
unfolded. The agency proposes to
bag all the blind tigers in McNeilPs
District and to accept one half the
of the fines and forfeitures for their
pay. It is said the District Attorney
is inclined to accept the proposition.
The sheriff and his deputies know
the blind tigers exist but do not get
the evidence to convict the sellers of

Managing a Wife.

A New York paper recently on
cred a prize for the best thought
on How to Manage Wife. THE
following was awarded the prize:
Manage? What is that? Does
it mean control? We manage a
horse. Where two persons are we'll
married, the wife is superior to her
husband in as many respects as he
is superior to her in others. If
happiness is to be the result of the
union the first business Of the nus
band is to manage himself so as to
keep himself always his wife re-
spectful friend, always her tender
lover, always her equal partner,
alwys her superior protector. This
will necessarily stimulate the wife
to be always an admiring friend.
alwys an affectionate sweetheart,
always thrifty housewife. always
a confding ward. And this will so
react upon the husband that his love
for his wife will grow so as to
make it easy for the husband, with
all his faults, to bear with the in
frmities of his 'one and only wife.
There are many happy homes,
thank God, in every community,
and where they exist there goes out
from them a blessed influence,
which can hardly be overestimated.
"a real home with mother in it,
whose hospitable doors are open to
those not so blessed, is wonderful
power for good. If the boys and
girls are made welcome they will
not be slow to tell it, and there
will be an attraction in the sweet
amenities of home which will draw
them from other and less holy in
fiuences. 1t is not possible in this
world so full of care and trouble to
be always merry. 1t is quite pos
sible to be always loving and kind.
If the business cares of the father
and the never ending struggles of
the mother with dirt and disorder,
cooking. washing, ironing and
mending, cannot be banished, they
can be wonderfully toned down by
the loving sympathy and help which
each member Of the household can
and should give to the other. A
home where the golden rule is lived
is the nearest possible approach to
heaven. The day comes all to soon
when the household is scattered
the boys and girls, alas! girls no
longer-are gone to make homes for
| themselves, elsewhere; when some.
perhaps, are laid away from our
sight, out of reach Of kind words
or helpful deeds. Happy are we if
no sorrowful thoughts haunt US, of
hasty words and unkind deeds, if
only pleasant memories remain.
We may, if our means allow, make
our homes beautiful and attractive,
and it is we'll to do so. But with
out the true spirit of home, it will
be but cherries and desolate
mockery-while the humblest cot
tage where love dwells and kind
ness reigns, may most beautifully
.exemplify the sweetness and bless
edness of home.

The Sentinel believes that the law

stand by the officers In the efforts

purpose of removing temptations
from our young men and giving US

it is to assure the officers of the law

fict the maximum penalty in order to
to divorce the criminal from his ne
farious practice THAI they will have

=
A novel is often more a home
than a palac. It the spirit of con-
genial friendship links not the
hearts of the inmates of dwelling
it is not home. If love reigns not
there; if charity spreads not her
downy mantle over all; if peace
prevails not; if virtue rear not her
beautiful children, and religion
comes not in her white robe of gen.
tleness to lay her hand in benedic-
ton on every head, the home is not
complete.
More and more as we grow we
appreciate the finer traits that are
in human nature. Men going out
into life never forget the mother
who stays at home, and who presen-
ted to them a nature with a reason
dominant with high moral sense,
with refined and sweet affections,
with taste, with patience. with
gentleness, with self sacrifice, and
with disinterestedness. A man may
go through the world, he may run
through every stage of belief and
disbelief, but there will be one pic
tire he cannot efface. Living or
dying, there will rise up before him
like morning star the beauty of
that remembered goodness which he
called mother"
