becomes nuisance.
Abatng a nuisance is more tedious process by
law than convictng criminal. Begetting suffj-
cient energy in the indolent to inspire hope re-
curing effort for realization calls for more per-
sistence than awakening desire for better things
in the vicious. In the latter, usually, there is
abundant energy misdrected to be utilized. In the
former it must be engendered
