rs CAPITAL PUNISHMENT RIGHT .

Every tune man is executed for
murder, the question cannot but arise
IN the mind of every man, whether
or not such a thing is right. Indeed
II is question whether executing
criminals is not a relic of barbarism
In Ohio this matter has been brought
forcibly.to light again. Harry Crooks,
the Dayton wife murderer has paid
the extreme penalty for his crime
Governor Harmon granted him re-
prieves in order that he might have
the time and opportunity to have his
case reviewed by the various courts,
including OF course the Supreme Court
OF the state. All of these courts sus-
tanned the hnding of the trial court in
Dayton and placed their stamp of ap-
proval upon the death beginning TO
end, Governor Harmon refused TO in
terfere AMI commute his sentence TO
life Imprisonment, stating that he was
not favorable to the death penalty, |
but while the law stood upon the |
statute books, and there was no doubt |
of the guilt of the condemned person,

execution.

and senator's in the general assembly

The prevalence of murders in Ohio
and IA fact in all otIe states fGr
Ohio is no worse than many of the
others, indicates that the death PEN
atty is not a great deterrent TO crime.
Scarcely a day passes, certainly not
a week goes over, that one or more
murders are not committed. The
electric chair has been escaped so
regularly, that 1t has come TO have
little terror TO the man of woman who ,
has murder In his heart. The feeling
that making life imprisonment in the
penitentiary with no chance OF sec
urlng a pardon. would act as a great I
er deterrent of murder, is growing Is
among the people. Juries in murder e
cases are hard to secure because so
many men hesitate to take the respon-
sibihty of sending man TO the gall
lows or the chair, while probably
these same men would not hesitate to
send man to the penitentiary for
life. i
This matter has been before the a

Have you heard the sale of lazy-iad
Who dearly loved 10 shirk,
For he hated" his Lessons and shat
ed" his tasks.
And he hated TO have to work?
So he sailed away on summer day
Over the ocean blue:
Said lazy-lad: 81 will seek till find
The land of Nothing-to-do."
So lazy-iad he sailed to the West,
And then to the East sailed he,
And he sailed North and he sailed
South
Over many a league of sea,
And many country fair and bright
And busy came into view;
But never, alas! could he find the
coast
OF the land OF Nothing-to-do.
Then lazy-lad sailed back again,
And a wiser lad was he,
For he said: I've wandered to every
land
That is in the geography;

folks
Are busy the whole year through,
And everybody in every place
Seemed to have something to do.
so it must be the best way after all,
And I mean to stay on shore
And learn my lessons and do my
tasks
And be lazy lad no more.
The busiest folks are the happiest,
And what mother said was true,
For I've found out there is no such
place
AS the land of Nothing-to-do.

My Home Among the Hills.

love my home among the hills 49,.
With zeal which gratitude instils
In loyal sons to whom, when young
The woodlands lullabies were sung:
For he, welI-born, is doubly blest
Who was a babe on natures breast
And romped and played, care-free
child,
Among the fields and forests wild
Where screech-owls, in their sylvan
homes,
Held nightly revels with the gnomes
And now, when, mid the worlds af-
fairs,
] faint beneath a weight of cares,
When come and go the fieeting years
Laden for me with tolls and tears;
When sad and cherries, tired and
lone,
With intense longlngs all my own,
l feel a want which nothing fills
But home, my home, among the hills.
.
My home, my home among the hills!
With what delight my bosom thrills
When time moves back, by fancies
rolled,
And / live DER the days Of old.
And once more hear the gurgling
brooks
Meandering through the wooded
hooks;
And see again the sheep and COWS
That on the verdant meadows browse,
In rapturous retrospect, my eyes
Behold the gorgeous sunset skies.
And through the fields which boy
hood knew
/ roam once more, and breathe anew
The fresh earth-perfume of the soil
Extracted by toe ploughman's toll:
And smell the fragrant growing grain
Touched by the sunshine and the
rain
such is the web which memory twiIls
or life at home among the hills
Farewell, my home among the hills,
or ministries which love fulfills
Ihou hast performed thy part in me.
And now hast thrust me forth from
thee
To live the wide-world's restless life
To feel its pangs of factious strife.
To hear its walls of human need.
It's louder cries of human greed:
For thou didst give me heart to feel
For others woes and others veal
In pains to give something of worth
10 mankind, thou didst give me
birth
Me Tor myself, thou didst not bear,
Nor sheltered, with a tender care.
But from thy breast, me thou hast
hurled
An Offering to the outer world
Thus let it be, since God so wills:
Goodbye my home, goodbye nv

Amusing Games.

The Blind Mans Wand.-This Ii
another way of playing Blind Mans
Buff The player who Is blindfoided
stands in the center of the room with
long paper wand, which can be
made of newspaper folded up
lengthwise and tied at each end with
| string. The other players then join
hands and stand around him in a cir
Gle. Some one then plays a merry
! tune on the piano and the players
dance round and round the blind
man, until suddenly the music stops.
| The blind man then lowers his wand
| upon one of the circle, and the play
er upon whom it has fallen has to
take hold of it. The blind man then
makes a noise, such as, for instance,
the barking of a dog. a street cry or
the mewing of a cat, and the captive
must initiate whatever noise the blind
man likes to make. Should the blind
man guess who holds the stick, the
one who is caught has to be blind
man; II not, the game goes on until
he succeeds
My Pond.-Take a piece of string
about a yard long; tie one end to
cane, and in the other end make a
loop that will slip quickly about any
object put in 1t. The players sit
around table, one (the fisherman)
holding the rod. In the middle of
the table circle is marked in chalk.
When the fisherman cries, "My
pond!" every player puts his finger
In the circle, and when he says "Your
pond!" the fingers must be quickly
drawn back. Every time a player
leaves his finger in the circle when it
ought not to be there he has to pay
forfeit; and If the fisherman slips his
Knot over some ones finger that
player becomes the fisherman.
A Memory Game.-For this game
several articles are placed on a table
Then the players come in and walk
slowly past this table, looking at the
things and trying to remember what
they are. Afterward each one tries
TO write down the names of the
things. All have to stop writing at
the same time. The papers are then
exchanged and some one reads the
whole list of things that were on the
table. One mark is given for each
correct name on players list, and
prize might be given to the one who
gains the most marks.
Ribbons.-For this game you want
a number of different colored rib
bons. Each player takes a ribbon
and holds it by one end. The other
ends are held by one person, who
sits in the middle of circle made by
the rest of the players. Then the
person in the middle tells a story
about anything he chooses, using the |
words "pull' Or pulling or quill
ed' as often as possible, and also the
words '1et co. Every time he says
the first words each player must let |
go his ribbon, while every time he |
says ''let go' the ribbon must be pull
ed. 1t sounds easy, but you'll find it |
great fun, because nearly everyone
does the wrong thing each time. You
can have forfeits paid for every mis-
take If you like.-Exchange
