parry rc tie supreme court. and Justice
Garrison Of that court. in oveiruling
the verdict. among other things used
this language:
1.-THE verdict of $500 is too high.
The jury did not take into considera
ton the great improvement in cork
legs"
What could be more heartless or
more fippant?
In the course of the decision the
learned Judge also took occasion to say
that the jury failed to consider the
earning power of money and figured
what $500 would amount to at com,
pound interest when Dorothy should
be twenty years of age.
Which is very fine, but
The little girl is of poor family
and poor families are not accustomed
to put money out at interest. They
need it to pay doctors bills and to buy
bread and butter and Bingham dresses
and shoes for their little girls.
OF course there have been Improve
be led TO believe there has been little
Improvement in the hearts of chief
justices.
One is inclined to ask also what sort
of cash consideration would induce
Justice Garrison to part with one of
his legs. keeping In mind, of course
the great improvement in cork legs
and the earning power of money at
compound interest for fifteen years.
Or, keeping the same facts In mind,
how much he would want for his own
little girls leg?
To be sure. cork legs have been i'm
proved--and glass eyes and clutches.
The consolation afforded by these
modern appliances to one who is MAIN
ed for life. however. is smaller than
a chief justice might expect.
1t is a good thing for the presidents
or managers of railway companies that
they operate in modern times rather
than under a king. like Solomon, for
instance.
One can easily fancy Solomon even.
ing up matters by commanding that
the leg of the president be cut off or
the leg Of the presidents daughter.
Or. if the case were appealed 10 some
chief justice and overruled. to whack
of the limb of the justice.
Cruel decisions against innocent flesh
and blood. uttered by judges who are
under the influence of public service
CORPORATIONS. furnish much OF the cause
for the growing feeling of revolt
against the courts.

SAVING the Moon.

The eclipse of the moon is full of
portent to the Macedonian Moham-
medans. II indicates bloodshed 1t is
met with reports of firearms. and from
the minarets the imams call the faith
full to public prayers in the mosques.
This recalls in striking manner the
practices of barbaric nations. The
great nations of Asia. such as the
Hindoos and the Chinese. still cling to
the belief in the eclipse monster. The
latter meet 1t with prayers. like the
Turks. Even In civilized Europe. both
ancient and modern. one finds numer-
GUS proofs of this superstition The
Romans came to the succor of the
afflicted moon by aingfng hrebrands
into the air by the blare of trumpets
and the clang of brazen pots. The SUI
perstition survived through the middle
ages into very late period.

raw material out Of which you may
manufacture manliness. But
II you want to get the most QUE of
him believe In him. Just make be-
lieve will not do. He will find you
out.
If you really believe in him be will
believe in you. which is your starting
point
And If you really believe In him you
will not scold him or find fault with
him all the time, because that sort of
treatment does not bring out the good
in him. 1t brings out the bad in him.
If you would get at the heart of him
cultivate his ambition and foster his
natural desire to do his best by en-
enlargement.
Because the boy will grow into the
likeness of that which he desires to
do and be. If you can stimulate him
to do and become the best he will
grow into that realization as natural
~ as the flower comes to it's fruition.
Even flowers must be encouraged.
Cheer him on.
If his habits have become bad
change his surroundings. Association
has everything to do with the making
and unmaking Of a boy. Get him
into the right company, change his
activities, and the bad habits will dis
appear by disuse.
Do not do too much for him. You
must be careful along this line Ii
you do too much for him he will do
nothing for himself. And that is ia
tai, because the best way for him to
learn to do things is by doing them
by experience.
In short. while the boy is young
treat him very firmly, but very kind
ly and very justly-remember. very
justly.
AS he grows older appeal to his nat
ural pride to get on in the world. Get
his confidence and hold on to it. Slim
ulate his ambition by encouragement.
Keep him in the right company.
Common advice? Yes. but many a
parent is trying to force his boy or
neglect him or scold him into manli-
ness. It cannot be done.

WHY

Young Mr.. Knox, son of the secFeta-
ry of state, against the wishes of his
parents ran away with and married
a poor girl. He was practically dis
owned
Afterward there was a reconciliation.
and young Mrs. Knox repeated state
ment attributed to her at the time of
the elopement- namely, that she had
never worked for living.
Which was poor boast.
Certainly she was poor. and If she
did not work who worked for her?
In place of being ashamed of hel
self she is ashamed Of her poverty and
considers Ii something less than an in
suit that it should be said she ever was
employed In shop or department
store
That is one way In which class dis
tihctions arise in this country. When
an honest laborer Is ashamed of his
work. how can it be otherwise thar,
that other persons should take the cur
and look down upon him and his
work
The dignity of labor is easily lost
when the laborer no longer dignifies II
Being ashamed of honest toll Is to-
tally opposed to the spirit of American
teaching. which says the man who
heaves clay out of ditch for wages
is just as good as the congressman
who is hired by the people.
He or she who does not work at
something is drone in the social hive.
After watching the procession Of
well dressed people Oh the streets st
one Of our cities and being told thai
/ the people were all workers MI Isfls
| lishman asked. "Rut where are yepf
leisure classes p
"Oh,' was the reply. we call them
tramps in our country
Do you remember tie experience Of
that rich woman ii New YGrl; wha
dressed one of her maids IN Hi expen
sive gown. hung Jewels around her
neck and introduced tlit, young SRI al
a social function as visiting frienl2
The maid. who was handsome and
| well educated was much admired
i D0Tn I0F nef looks anu neF eFiuent r.
finement. and III least one young hope
full of the smart set nearly lost his
heart to her on that evening.
There is many a maid or shopgirl
who would grace any mans drawing
room as mistress and queen Of his
home.
| But here is a strange thing which
wish you might eRalain.
Most wealthy men who have gone
up the ladder to wealth and position
BY means OF hard struggling take
