HUNTING FOR LEAKS

little bit helps and H. b. Professor returned home with
the suspicion tucked away in his bonnet that every
mint in the United States there hole in the sink
out of which fortune running into the sewer.
He set to work to find the hole. and twelve months
later the United States Government advertised sixty
thousand dollars worth of platinum for sale. There
wasn't any trouble dsposng of it. In fact it could have
been sold hundred thousand times over, if there
enough of it; but there wasn't. Gold is still

5000 DEFINITION

A New York judge. it will be
remembered. recently declared un-
constitutional the new law that an
automobilist, having run over a
pedestrian, must stop and leave
his name. The Judge said that
the automobilist had a perfect
right to run away and leave the
mangled victim to bleed to death
alone for the reason that in
criminal cases. no man is obliged
to bear witness against himself.
James Halden Wilkes president of
the Defense Society of Atlanta dis
cussed this legal decision at the
soeiety's last meeting. "And
that" he carried holly. lis called
justice. Well indeed, was a
search after justice once defined
as blind man looking into dark

TEACH THE BOY A TRADE

P. M. Greer, of Scranton, Penn
sylvania, in the Engineering and
Mining Jousnal of New York,
writes Of the young men who start
in the mines and then abandon
them to study law, medicine or
neutrality-suspicious. which he
says are already Uvercrowded and
where most of these young men
make a scanty livi rig. He has
touched on something that seems
elsewhere and everywhere in the
United States. Most parents
skimp and save and wor k early and
late to educate their children TO be
ashamed of them and their ways.
How often you have heard fond
foolish father say that he did not
intend to have his boy work as hard
as he had; that he was going to
give him a good schooling. so he
could make living without hard
work. The curse of the whole
thing lies in The idea that he
instills into the boys mind that
hard work is not respectable.
Well he sends his hoy tn college
and he graduates in due time, but
all he knows is found in broks and
the practical things he must turs
to and learn after he comes from
college. But he does not know
that he is full to the muzzle Of
impractical information and now
comes the struggle for existence. II
he had graduated in law, he can
not draw up complaint and get
the other man in court. till some
body shows him how. If he is a
doctor but that is rather danger
Gus gr ound for there is no telling
what q young doctor might do.
A good mechanic is always a
valuable addition to any COM
munity while an incompetent

Of the old farmer out in Iowa. A

his hogs for great deal less than
he could have disposed of them for
at home. His neighbors gleefully
awaited his return home, and when

to josh him about this poor trade.

A GOAT STORY

The following story comes from
Fulton. Missouri. You don't have
to believe it:
Bob Rogers who owns q farm
near Fulton has q goat that takes
its nightly sleep in a tree and
seems to enjoy its unusual bed.
His goatsliip was tickcted to 20 to
the cleaners" at the National
Stock yards in Fest St. Louis
several weeks ago but when ship.
ping time came it could not be
found.
Slortly after q neiR hborinU
farmer had occasion to pass the
tree and saw the goat curled up
on Dough. the tree slants
slightly and this enabled the goat
~ scale 1t. The branch on which
the goat makes his nightly bed is
curved In peculiar fashion, max
ing it impossible for iIis goatship
to lie down without danger Of
falling.
