TRYING ANIMALS AS CRIMINALS.
Dumb Beasts Brought Into Court ard
Given the Death Penalty.

The st. James Gazette, in a re-
cent issue. relates that woman Nv
ing in Etampes. near Paris, was
counting her money as she walked
along the street and dropped a note
of 40 pounds. The bill fluttered TO
the ground and was picked up by
n goatherd who was passing with a
herd of she-goats. AS the goatherd
was about to hand the bill to its
owner. a goat grabbed it and imme-
diately ate it.
The woman accused the goatherd
of having purposely fed her money TO
the animal, and called an officer. The
man and goat were arrested and taken
before a magistrate. To prove his
honesty. the goatherd offered to sac
rifice the goat. The animal was kill
ed and the banknote was recovered
somewhat damaged but with the
number intact so that the woman was
enabled to exchange it. The goat
herd then demanded that the woman
nav for the goat, which she refused
to do. The case is still in the courts.
This is not the first time that an
animal has been hailed to the bar OF
iustice in France. Herbert Spencer.
in his Descriptive Sociology, quotes
Du Bows as relating several instances
of the prosecution of animals for
crimes of one sort or another. 1t
is stated that COW was executed
with all due ceremony. after conVlc-
ton for a capital offense, in 1916,
Insects which ravaged village were
tried before an ecclesiastical tribunal
in due form in 1887. Counsel was
granted them and several months
passed in the usual memoirs, plead
ings and delays. They were finally
condemned.
Berriat Saint-PriX enumerated more
than eighty cases of sentences OF
death or accommodation pronounce
ed against animals, ranging from an
ass to a grasshOpper, between ll2O
and l74l. \ SOW which had killed
and eaten child was tried, mutt
| lated and executed in 1856, after hav-
| ing been dressed i'm mans clothes
The eXecutiOner received his usua'
| pay for his execution. During the
same century three swine and pig
were condemned to be burned, felled
or buried. for having eaten a young
| shepherd. The rest of the herd were
condemned as aCcomplices and their

That the ancicntS aSCrihcd reasoning
powers t. animals we know because
we are told in the Bible that the ser
Ipent was condemned to "gu upon his
belly" because he tempted Eve.
In the middle ages this belief was
very general. The ancient Irish are
|reported to have had such a venera-
ton for wolves. that they chose them
as godfatherS for their children while
in other countries wolves were re-
gardcd as "lycanthropes" or witches
who had taken that form. IN Italy

cats were often suspected Of being
disguised witches. One story has
come down to us of a hunter who
cut off the paw of wolf and retained
il as a trophy, but upon opening his
bag he discovered it to be the hand Of
his wife.
Il seems almost incredible that such
superstitions could have been preva-
lent when the thoroughly modern
Montaigne was engaged in writing
but such was the case. The Domon-
omaine des Sorciers of Bodin ap-
peared in 1881, while the first great
skeptical work in the French lam
guage was published by Montaigne
in 1858. OF this work, which dealt
with the superstition of witchcraft
generally, Lecky said: ut would
scarcely be possible to conceive a
more striking contrast, than his treat
ment of its presents to the works
of Bodin and of Wier." It was about
this time, also, that Ayrault protested
against the condemnation and punish
ment of animals, on the ground that
where there was no understanding,
there could be no crime.
The yeneration of animals has al

The Sense of Humor.-A man has

The Sense OF Humor.-A man mas
sense of humOr or he has not. If he
has not be cannot acquire it; if he has
it hy birthright he cannot lose it with
the passing of years. The only change
as life goes on in one who has this in
born sense is that different things ap-
peal to it from those that excited
amusement in youth, but in this it is
like other mental faculties. AS judg-
mcnt mellows and ripens, so the power
Of discovering those things that excite
smiles becomes more discriminating.
HumOr is not a physical attribute to
fade as the body loses its youthful
elasticity, but purely mental. Men
who possess it in gOodly measure have
been known to smile on their death

he came back from dinner. On cross

very good customer
Gardner Lane, clerk in j. W. Jones
store, knew Ira Grady. and saw him on
Feb. II in store about 1880. when Grady
left order with Mr.. Harding, the other
clerk. Saw Grady afterwards, between
II and II o'clock that same forenoon
at store and shortly before the 800
