Deadly Sin Of Stupidity.

Most people would say that stupidity
IL an intellectual, not moral, defect;
but, according to the teaching of Bud
dha, 1t is the worst Of the deadly sins,
and when we are thwarted by stupid
people we are apt to agree with
Buddha. Then we remember the say.
ing that against stupidity the gods
themselves fight IN vain, and 1t seems
to US a wilful perversity that cannot
be a natural quality Of any human
mind. When Buddha called 1t the
worst of deadly sins he meant, no
doubt, the least durable. You may
convince other sinners Of their guilt,
but you cannot convince stupid man
Of his stupidity, for it is disease Of
the whole of his mind which dulls his
reason and perverts his conscience
Other sinners are at war with them.
selves, and it Is possible to encour.
age the instruction of righteousness
within them; but in the minds of the
stupid there is a settled peace which
no suggestion from other minds can

Coats no longer will form part of the
uniform of United States troops in the
field. The war department has decided
that a light sweater will be just as
comfortable and a more practicable
garment than the present service coat.
Not only will the sweater be worn
when the men are up and about, but
it win be used also to supplement the
blanket as a sleeping garment.
However, this does not mean that
the soldier will not be as dressed up"
in appearance, when parading, as here
tofore. 1t is ordered that the sweater
is for use only in the field, around
camp and on the march when the
weather is too cold to make the f1an-

The Mission
OF q Prisoner,

Nh q j 4OV48~
Sixteen years ago, in Texas, q
man named Paul Graynor killed
another man IN a disreputable
quarrel. After hard fight in
court, he was sentenced to be
hanged; but he obtained a new
trial. and having been found
guilty, was this time sentenced
to Imprisonment for forty years.
He has now been in the State
prison fifteen years.
After his Imprisonment a
change came over the man. 1t
was not merely sorrow and penl-
tence for his crime. but COM
plete change of heart and pur-
pose. He accepted his lot and
undertook to make the best pos
sible of his opportunities.
He became a sort of prison
evangelist. Under his influence
at least fifteen convicts have
been converted, and having
completed their terms of SEN
tence, are leading useful lives;
twenty-five still in the prison
give good reason for believing
that they will become righteous
men and useful citizens.
He has done more than preach.
He has organized classes and
taught stenography. Six of his
pupils now hold good positions,
four of them as court stem
ographers. He has also taught
Spanish, bookkeeping and COM
mercial arithmetic. His school
within the prison has become
a door of hope to many of his
fellow convicts.
Recently an effort was made to
secure a pardon for Graynor. AS
his behavior in prison has been
above reproach, there was nc
difficulty in winning official ap-
proval of the undertaking, Prison
officials and friends outside
agreed in recommending the
pardon.
The application went before
the Governor of Texas, who,
after an examination of the pa
pers, gave his consent. The
young convict, after having serv-
ed fifteen of the forty years, was
at liberty to go forth free man.
But now comes the strangest
and most interesting part of the
story. Graynor refused to ac-
cept a pardon.
Happy as he must have been
that liberty was within his reach,
and that he had so lived as thus
to commend himself to the au-
thorities of the prison and the
commonwealth, he still refused
to accept the pardon. He sent
word to the governor that he was
worth nothing to the world out
side, but that within the prison
wall he had found a place of
usefulness among his fellow con-
victs.
So he faces the coming twenty
five years behind the bars, with
rejoicing that thus he may fulfil
his mission among those whom
he can assist toward lives OF
hope and usefulness,
The lesson of this mans life is
full of encouragement. TIE
secret of it is the spirit to con-
quer difficulties and break ma
terial bonds. The reason he is
willing to remain in prison is
because he has long since es-
capped from prison.
Stone walls do not prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage.
Many life that suffers from
inevita BILE limitations which con-
stitute a life Imprisonment amid
uncongenial surroundings, might
become radiant and beautiful if
it could discover the secret of
this convict. Many a heart
beating its life out in unavailing
protest against its unhappy con-
ditions might become blessed in
becoming a blessing to others.
