Comparative Wealth.

Wealth is merely comparative Ones
possessions constitute pittance or a
fortune, according to ones point OF
view. Rev. Frederic Denison tells a
story of one of the inhabitants Of old
Westerly, r. l., which shows there is
no general standard of riches, says
the Youths Companion. The young
man, prompted by patriotism and de-
sire for gold, had enlisted in the uL-
certain business Of privateering.
On returning home after many and
various cruises, he was thankfully
gre"ted by his kin and anxious
friaEIds. His mother, with maternal
solicituoe, inquired:
"Well, Harry, how have you made
out? Did you get much money!"
"Oh, yes, mother" answered the ad-
venturer, "I had good luck, I am rich.
I shall have enough, with prudence
and care, to carry me through life, !
hope"
"I am glad, my son. How much
have you?''
"Well, I don't exactly know yet
but think when We settle up it will
amount to $780,"

to pay Capt. Griffith at the rate of
$40 per day, so much impressed was
the court with the class Of testimony
that Capt. Griffith furnished. 1t is
interesting to note that in the Big
ham-Avant case the same matter of
tests of sound and light came up as
in the Bob Jones case.
Killed the Old Man. =.
When Judge Fraser was about to
sentence Jones he said: "Bob, if you
hadn't killed old man Pressly might
have instructed the jury in the finding
Of a verdict of not guilty. But you
Filled that old man and you must suf-
fer I am going to make the sentence
as light as possible" Bob was sen
fenced to 21 years in the 2eniten-
tiary here, having already been in
jail about four years.
Bob Jones has been a good prison.

the petition was presented by the
board of directors that Jones be let
go. Bob has guarded many of the
other prisoners while he has been i'll
the prison. He frequently came out
to guard the prisoners On the State
capitol grounds.
Bob Jones never has been tried for
the killing of the, two younger Press
lys, except that a mistrial resulted in
the case of Charlie Pressly, but new
er was Bob placed on. trial for kill
ing Ed Pressly, Jr. The only convic-
ton was in the case of the elder
Pressly.
Deducting one month for each year
of his 21-year sentence, puts Bob out
of the penitentiary today with the ad-
ditional three months given the pris-
oner by the kindness of Governor An
sci.
Bob Jones is about 55 years of age.
He has Snow white hair, yet has not
the general appearance of very old
man. L. M. Green.

saints" No Bible is required in the
administering of this oath.
The Italian witness generally takes
the oath in a dramatic manner. Rest
ing his hand On an open Bible he eX-
claims: 81 will swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
TRUTH
More ceremony attends the ad-
ministering of the oath in a Spanish
court. The witness kneels on his
right knee and places his right hand
on the sacred Book. The judge then
asks: "Will you swear to God and by
those holy Gospels to speak the truth
to all you may be asked?" The wit
ness replies: Eyes; swear" to which
the judge rejoins: "Then If thus you
do God will reward you, and it moi
will require of you"
In few districts this form is va
ried by the witness placing thu middle
of his thumb Oil the middle Of his
forefnger, kissing his thumb and de-
claring: "By this cross I swear"

gian witness is properly imp :cssed

actually taken a long exhortation is
delivered, running in part:
whatever person is so ungodly,
corrupt or hostile to himself as to
swear a false oath or not to keep the
oath sworn sins in such a manner as
if he were to say: If I swear falsely,
then my God the Father, God and
Son and God the Holy Ghost punish
me, so that God that Father who
created me and all mankind in His
image and His fatherly goodness,
grace and mercy, may not profit me,
but that T as perverse and obstinate
transgressor and sinner may be pun
ished eternally in hell. If I swear
falsely, then may all I have and own
in this world be cursed; cursed be
my land, field and meadow, so that
I may never enjoy any fruit or yield
from them; cursed be my cattle, my:
beasts, my sheep, so that after this
day they may never thrive or benefit
me; yea, cursed may I be and every
thing I possess.

OATHS IN DIFFERENT LANDS.
French Have the Least and NOrwe-
giaRs the Most to Say.

The ceremony of taking the oath
has been known since earliest history,
says writer in the Green Bag. The
only changes in form which have
come in thousands of years have been
due to the introduction of the Bible
and the cross by Christian nations.
AS administered in most of the Eng
law courts the form of the oath is
practically the same as that in the
United States, though rather more
ceremonious: In France it is per-
haps the SIMPLEST. A crucifx above
the judges seat is supposed to obviate
the necessity of the witness hand
ling either the Cross of the Bible.
"You swear to tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth?" asks the Judge. And the wit
ness, raising his right hand, answers:
"I swear it.
In Austria a Christian witness is
sworn before crucidx placed be-
tween two lighted candles. Holding
up the right hand the witness says: Il
swear by God, the Almighty and All
Wise, that T will speak the pure and
full truth in answer to anything l
may be asked by the court"
If the witness is of the Jewish
race he uses the same words, but
places his hands on a Bible opened
at the page On which appears the
third Commandment, and the cruel
fix is removed.
In a Belgian court the witness
says: "I will speak the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth, so help ne God and all the
