The Lineville Headlight argues that when a man whose family Is depend ent on him Is convicted of crime ana sentenced to hard labor. one-haH the proceeds of his hire should go to his family and the other half to the State. This is a question that has often been discussed but we think there is little prospect that it will ever be adopted And yet there may be strong argu- ments made in its favor. not only op the plea of humanity but as a mat ter of justice. It Is not humanity nor strict justice, Is It. to punish the wife and children in order to punish the husband and father who is gull ty?

 Mississippi and Alabama threats will in a few lays. have that GeOrg q parched feeling" says The Memphis Sews-scimitar. Never saw 6 Georgian suffering from his peculiar brand of "parched feeling" did you? Then you don't know the condition to which you hay consigned the Alabamans and Msi- sippians There was printed not long ago in the papers a reproduction of an old picture of an elderly gentleman reclining on a couch with one end of a straw in his mouth and the other end connected with a cheering vessel. elevated just above his head. The ex- pression that suffnsed his countenance was one that Hogath might have given to one of Dants lost souls emergi1.eS . from the pit" That's what the "Geor- gia parched feeling" Is liable to do for the Alabaman and Mississippian.

disappointed and compelled to return

disappointed and compelled to return to the humdrum drudgery of an un- satisfactory world. Dowie is dead. but the same cannot be said of Dowie- ism. A man named Sanford. calling himself the Holy Ghost and Us, led . multitude of credulous persons about by the nose. A man calling himself Jerigan and claiming to be an ordain- cd clergyman of the English church. made large number of people believe he could extract gold from sea water. He extracted it from their pockets and then disappeared"
 One of the strange features about 1t all Is that humanity learns nothing in this respect by experience. When one imposter and chariatan goes down in discredit and failure another comes forward and soon builds up a follow. fns of dupes who believe in him and stand ready to stand or fall with him. When Barnum, the famous snowman, declared that "the people like to be
 
 humbugsed," he only said what most people know, and 1t matters little what particular form of humbuggery is practiced or proposed. for there will always be those who will believe and follow. That fellow Jerigan referred to by our contemporary was in the humbusgins business for what there was in 1t for him. And as to that matter. 1t will be noticed that most of the religious fanatics who deiuds peo- pie manage to feather their own nests pretty we'll while they are at 1t. As matter of fact. most humbuss. reiis- ious or otherwise. make money by and through the influence they obtain over othsra

 Railroad oaicisls generally will look back on the, year 1908 as one of un- usual depression In all things affecting the prosperity and general we'll being of their line. of industry. After the opening of the new neal year. on July l last however, "a manlfes improvement In the traffic; situation began to de. velep. It has gone on nj'continu sously. until at the close of the calender year, a feeling of optimism pervades the sit uatlon. ! "Js ,1..s
 Financial troubles were aggravated to great extent by the wave of anti railroad legislation which swept through the State legislatures. The roads found themselves deprived of revenue whichs might have been used In making good at least a part of the deficiency caused by their inability to sell new securities. The. purchase of new rails. equipment. andsother sup- plies needed was abandoned perforce, and this caused stasnation in an end less number of industries.
 F. A. Delano, president of the Wa. bash road. In jreviewlng the year, said:
 "Railroa1 managers generally can not look back on the last year with any degree of satisfaction. Its events have been calculated to make them sick estimate the loss for the year as a whole at 12 per cent. both In earnings and In tonnage.
 "In my opinion the. worst Is over Business is improving now, and be- lieVe it will continue to do so, though the rate of improvement will be slow"
 An encouraging view of the future was expressed by J. T. Haraman. presi- dent of the Illinois Central Railroad.
 The last year has been a poor one for the American, roads, said he. "It opened under exceedingly gloomy aus pices. The situation was aggrieved by the increased expenses. caused by the great Increase in the rates -of wages. The improvement Is here to stay. and is likely to be ateadY and cnntlnuonan

 He (President Cleveland) came Co live more and more in the region of the higher affections. And he ponder ed though he said very little. regarding his religious belief, Yet 1t was al ways there deep within him. as they know well who knew him best. It was simple, elemental, chili-like He had chosen to believe in God and SO he had chosen to believe also In Christ The mysteries remained a mystery, not a thing for analysis and debate; and he received 1t as he received the spring time and the sunlight or the intlrnRciss of friendship and home.

Land of the CycIops.

Kansas Cit" Times.
 The region In Sicily devastated by the earthquake holds a foremost position in Ht- erature and history. The plains of Cata- nla, overlooking the Bay Of L'ognina. was the home of the fabled Cyclops. It was to this bay that Aeneas went. and on tho beach he encountered Archimenides. In a cave in the heights overlooking the bay the cyclops confined Ulysses. and long be- fore the time of Ulysses, according to myth teal lore. Galatea, the nymph, was wooed and won by the shepherd boy, Acis. the rival of Poiyphemus It was with rocks torn from towering Etna that Polyphemus killed Acis. The gods then changed the blood of Acis into a river, which they nam ed Acis and this stream used to flow thfoueh the Catanian fieids. The fires of Etna long ago drank up this stream. The great lava flow of 1880 buried fathons deep the pleasant land where the nymph and shepherd boy wandered hand in hand.
 The huge rocks which Poyphemus hurled at Ulyssss and his escaping comrades are stiI pointed out to travellers The largest Of these, scosii de ciclopL measured more than 226 feet in height and more than 3.ooe feet h ciecumfsrence.
