On Happiness.

Life, after all, is not so bad as We
like to fancy IL. venture to say II
most of us began our evening prayer
by thanking the Lord for all His
benefits to, us. we should fall asleep
long before we got TO the grievance
with which we usually induce insom-
mia.
The world is not bed of roses.
The path we must trod is often hard,
clogged with Overwhelming ankle
ties, cares, and worries that seem
to bow earthward even the idealist's
gaze. But when our shoulders are
bent low we can at least get some
happiness out of life by trying TO
love the burden we bear. like the
little Scotch girl whom someone met
staggering along the country road
with a baby in her arms.
Can / help you?" the stranger
asked. "The child seems so heavy
for you"
The little girl looked up and with
an expression of passionate tender
ness said:
Hes nae heavy. He's me broth

AS to the charges that the jurors
were permitted to read newspapers
with hostile" accounts of the trial,
Judge Hough said:
This case was very dull; it took a
long time to exhibit necessary pre-

counts were incomplete and incorrect,
but there Is no evidence that they
were hostile or biased. as even prob

Mrs. Morse, who has remained con-
Istantly loyal to her husband through
out his fight for freedom, is greatly
upset by the turn of affairs. II he

she probably will accompany him

Mr. Littleton's motion for a writ of
error on Judge Hough's decision,
however, acts as temporary stay of
execution.

1.-THE Substance Of Things Hoped
FOrv

In the New York City Home for
the Aged, a deaf old gentleman was
making application preparatory to
becoming an inmate. AS is the usual
procedure, he was questioned as to
age, income, nationality and religion.
He seemed to be able to get through
with the first three questions. but
when asked his religion he stared
blankly at the superintendent.
The doctors and orderlies of the
home went through a series of shouts
and explanatory gestures, but with
out success. As a last resort one of
the doctors dropped on his knees,
and with hands appraised TO heaven,
tried to illustrate what they meant by
religion. A CLEAN of intelligence
came over the god mans face and
he exclaimed, joyously. "Tammany

A. f. Gullion, editor of the Henry
County Local. said that country pa.

suits because they were not rushed
to the press. but that city papers did
not have time to thoroughly inyes-

were more likely to print something
which would bring on d suit. lie
spoke of political controversies caus-
ing libel suits. and advocated a pro-
vision for leniency in case prompt

Claims of Undue Leniency in Guard

Jurors Lead ''Usud Lives"
ATTORNEY MAKES FINAL MOVE

New York, Dec. 30.--Only a tech
nicality now stands between Charles
w. Morse, banker and one-time ice
king, and the 15-year sentence in the
federal prison at Atlanta. Judge
Hough, in the United States court,
denied his motion for new trial. but
close upon the heels OF the decision
Martin w. ittleton, his counsel, an
nounced that one more stand would
be taken. He will move in the cir
cult court for a writ of error on
Judge Hough's decision. II this is
denied, Morse will begin the new
year serving his sentence for viola
ton OF the national banking laws, the
supfeme court of the United States
having previously refused to interfere
In the case.
Claims Jury Not Guarded.
Mr. Littleton's recent application
for q new trial for Morse was made
on the ground that the jury was i'm
properly guarded and that some of
the Jurors drank to excess during the
trial With respect to this charge,
the court holds that the fact that the
jurymen were in the custody of secret
service mel instead of regular deputy
marshals was well known to both
counsel and jurors when the trial be-
gan. The court also notes that more
than a year has elapsed since Morse
was convicted and sentenced, and that
the judgment has been affirmed by
the United States circuit court of APP
peals and O writ of certiorari had
been denied by the United States
supreme court.
80 far as the record Of these afii-
davits SHOW" said Judge Hough's
memorandum, there was nothing
concealed or furtive about the ap-
pointment of these men, and 1t has
not been urged that merely because
they were not regularly en- the mar
shars stan they were Ineligible for
selection a.
AS to the drinking charges. Judge
Hough says:

Jurors Led Usual Lives"
Judge Hough points out that 1t was
by direction OF the court that the
jurors be permitted TO lead their
usual hves' and that the afidavits
submitted by Morse's counsel showed
merely that during the entire trial
only 20 bottles of liquor and some
individual drinks had been consumed
by the jury. "And II is not pretend
ed that any one was at all intoxi-
Gated" adds the court. All parties
agreed, the memorandum continues,
that no liquor was served to the jury
after the case had been given to
them.

To Benefit Public.

Mr.. McCarty mentioned a few of
the bills that the newspapers of the
state had tried to have passed by the
legislature, all OF which failed.
r. II. Perry, of the Winchester
Sun-Sentinel. suggested that the as
ISOLATION avoid everything which ap-
peared to be begging or asking the
legislature for something which Is
for the benefit of the newspapers of
the state, and to show that what they
are asking for Is for the good of the
people of the state.
He declared that the one impor-
tant legislation which the newspa-
pers are entitled to have Is a reyls-
ion of the libel law.
He told of five personal expert
ences where suits were brought
against him for libel in counties
where he did not live. and where he
had as few as three subscribers, and
in one county where he had not a
subscriber.
lie declared that no law is just
that requires a man to be tried in a
county where he has no subscriber;
that even a horse thief is entitled to
a fair trial where the crime was com
mitted.

Amend Libel Laws.

T. c. Underwood. of Hopklnsyille,
president of the association, pre-
sided at the afternoon meeting.
An amendment to the libel law,
which at present allows case
against any newspaper in the state
to be brought before the courts In
any county in the state in which one
copy of the newspaper goes. was
strongly urged by every speaker in
the discussion.
Some of the editors who have
been sued for libel under the pres
ent law told of their experience in a
humorous vein, which, however
showed plainly that an amendment
to the state law will be vigorously
sought.

named the Asiatic Charlema gne. He
was . statesman and an educator and
built palace for the reception of
men who loved learning and sought
after wisdom. The great mogurs pas

he once made to determine IL it was
true, as he had heard, that Hebrew
was the natural language of all who
had never been taught any other
tongue.
To test this assertion Akbar caused
Z dozen nursing children to be shut UP
In a castle six leagues from Agra, his
capital city. Each child was reared
by q dumb nurse. The porter also was

pain Of death. to open the gates Of the
castle. When the children were twelve
years cf age N1bar ordered them to BE-
brought before him.
Men learned In Sanskrit, in Arabic.

by these Nnguists. ordered the children
to be brought in. Each child was ad-
