Law and lis Application.

The appalling amount of crime in the
United States as compared with many
other civilized countries is due to the
fact that it is known generally that
the punishment for crime is uncertain
and far from severe. The uncertainty
Of punishment is largely due to the
extension in our criminal jurispru-
dence of two principles Of the common
law which were originally just and
reasonable, but the present application
of which is both unjust and unreason-
able. This change is due to the fact
that under the common law an ac-
cused was deprived of many rights
which he now possesses and was sub
jected to many burdens and risks of
which he is now relieved. But, al
though the reason and necessity for
the two exist, the principles are not
only retained, but have been stretched
and expanded to the, infinite impair
ment of the efficiency and justice Of
cur criminal law The two principles
are that no man shall be twice put in
Jeopardy of life or limb for the same
offense and that no man shall be com

COMMON KINDNESS.

made by the movement ordered by
Rosecrans, because of the careless

tain victory to disaster.
If!
Hundreds of historical incidents
might be cited to show how the per-
adventure of a trife has enormously
changed the face of human affairs.
If!
You can look back over your own
experience in life and say, "If so and
so had not happened''-
And that ''if'' at the time seemed but
trivial thing.
Great events have turned on such a
trif1e as the cackling of the geese that
saved Rome. Personal events may be
traced to such small things as the
SneeZe of a child, the smile Of wo-

of a train-lfnks in the chain Of events
that have changed the course of life.

Are there, indeed, any really utI8
things in human affairs? Each trifle
may be correlated with some other
frif1c which, in its turn, is related close
" with human destiny.

In the realm of business it is an
adage that critics make perfection,

1t is so of morals.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.
By EDWIN A. NYR.

Said a woman of nay acquaintance:
Last year my husband was i'll, and
now my daughter is threatened with
tuberculosis. The cost of living is
high, and my husbands salary is only
$1,000. Why are we put into this
world to suffer so2 Sometimes | feel
shat life is not worth the living"

had known her long time | took the
liberty to say:

you have never lacked for necessary
&hings

of sin, is an old one, but | think it a
mistake to fall into the habit of think
3ng that one is 1uckless beyond others.

Hardship?
She did not live in a two room and
closet apartment where you buy coal
by the scuttIeful, bread by the half
GOaf and ice by the penny's worth.
Destitution?
She had never haunted the butcher
shops late of a Saturday night when
the very poor do their pitiful market

soup bone or neck Of mutton.
No; this woman did not know
She did not know that to find quar-
ter Of dollar for the slot of the pay

She had never heard her children cry

dead child.

There are many pet theories on how
to make the hen lay probably. but
here is the secret in few words:
Feed her WELL house her comfortably
and keep her free from lice.
The large producing hen is the re
suit of unceasing care and effort upon
the part Of her owner.
You can't expect profits from the
hens unless you feed them right aud
give good care generally.
The hen that is confined in damp
house or must stand on a damp floor
will never lay probably.
The chickens need plenty of sharp
grit or gravel. It's what keeps their

This makes a safe margin OF valuation
over the four million valuation which the
proposed new county must have before a
petition can be considered by the Board
of County Commissioners. But in order
to be doubly safe it is only necessary to
move the proposed west line Of the county
further west than that embraced in the
one presented to the legislature and take
in as many miles of railroad as necessary
As long as the west line is rs miles east
of Glasgow and the residents along the
proposed border line in the proposed new
county are willing the lines can be placed
at any line north and south through the
