Columns of ST. Mark.

Two memorable granite columns,
known as the columns OF st. Mark,
brought from the Holy Land I'm 1l20
and standing In front OF the quay Md
landing steps of the Piazzeta, have
been associated with the fortunes OF
Venice FOR many years. AT first they
lay PROSTATE for long time. while
no one would undertake to raise them.
But a reward offered by the doge at
length induced one Nicolo Barratiero
(Nick the Backlog TO offer his serv-
ices. He succeeded and claimed az
his reward the privilege OF carrying
on between the columns games Of
chance, elsewhere prohibited by law.
To neutrallze this as much as possible
It was enacted that all public execu-
lions should take place on the same
spot. One column Is surrounded by
the Lion Of st. Mark. The other car
ries a fine figure Of St. Theodore, the
patron saint of the city, who stands
upon n crocodile and with sword and
buckler gives token that the motto or
Venice is Defense. Not Defiance"

A Stitch of Pain.

A stitch is a sharp, spasmodic pain
in the muscles of the side like the
piercing of needle and is very apt to
be produced If exercise is taken i'm
mediately after hearty meal, This
arises because the nervous energy nee
essary for the proper working of the
muscles in exercise is engaged in an
other direction namely, in assisting
the digestion of the food. Anything
that interferes with the proper supply
of nervous energy required for exer-
cise whether it be debility or the proc
ess of digestion or exhaustion arising
from overexertion. is apt to cause this
spasmodic pain.

The men OF Houston ought to think
seriously of the situation when justice
is so fiagrantly defeated through the
Indifference of jurors to establish
facts.
1--WE have seen time and time again
the acquittal of criminals in the face
of uncontroverted testimony proving
their guilt. The people can never en-
joy the protection the-law is designed
to give them so long as such condi-
tions prevail. 1t is difficult to pre-
scribe remedy, but 1t seems to the
Post that where positive evidence Of
guilt is rejected by jurors, some way
ought to be found to disqualify such
men from jury service thereafter.
1T is known well enough that there
are men in every county who ought
not to be permitted to sit on juries. 1t
is certainly the case in this county.
and so long as such men get on the
juries justice is doomed to defeat.
Zone trouble beyond doubt is the
agility with which the better ele-
ment, we call it for lack of a more
appropriate term, eyades jury service.
and this trouble is almost as bad as
the professional juror evil When'
men of affairs evade jury service and
iuries are packed with men who seek
such service in order to shape verdicts
according to order, there is no chance
for justice whatever.
There are more than 10000 men in
Harris county The great majority of
these are law-abiding men and men
who earnestly desire the conviction Of
criminals, but it passes understanding
how difficult it is to get as many as
twelve of them on jury in certain
cases. The defendant who has money
is almost sure to go free The penni-
less offender is just as certain to be
convicted.
ut seems to the Post that the Bar
Association ought to be able to devise
. plan to remedy such conditions, and
then if additional legislation is needed
the legislature can act Unless some.
thing can be done to enforce the law
against moneyed criminals as it is en-
forced against the friendless and the
moneyless, Judge Robinson will be
quite justified in sending particular
class of cases to ether counties on
changes of venue and confine the work
of his court to offenders who can not
command through the skill of counsel
the sympathy of plant jurors
1T is more than discouraging when
the people see men VIGOROUSLY guilty
of crime walking the streets with i'm
punity, immune from the processes of
justice which were designed to protect
society against murderers, thieves and
swindlers. There is trouble with the
administration of justice somewhere.
and the bar ought to locate it and take
the necessary steps to apply the rem

When a game warden bought seven
pounds Of meat and paid dollar
pound for 1t he thought he was get
ting some pretty convincing evidence
against a man in Herkimer county
whom he supposed to be chronic
violator of the game law. The pro-
tector found this particular piece Of
meat in an icehouse one hot August
day, and he spotted 1t for venison.
"what will you take for that chunk
Of meat?" he asked the owner.
"That's tender piece Of meat re-
piled the woodsman, with a wink at
the stranger. land meat is dear way
back up here. wouldn't part with It
for less n dollar pound

whole thing. and he paid 81 fol-, 1t. sat

worst game law violators In the Adj

of enjoying the fruit. 1t is loaded

No Excuse for an Ugly Farm Home.

There was a little item hid away in
an obscure corner in our last issue
that is so suggestive and so timely
that we can not refrain from repub-
fishing it herewith in a more con,
spicuous position:
"The most ugly backyard may be
transformed into a veritable Eden by
the planting of hollyhocks, castor
beans or morningglories near the
fence or shed to hide its unsightly
spaces. These grow to usefulness and
beauty before the summer heat makes
us long for a green spot where the
cares and WEAKNESS of the day HAY
be forgotten. But he is a neighbor-
hood benefactor who makes his home
premises a source of envy, the gratifi-
cation of which insures health and
happiness and beauty"
Why not read this aloud to your
family at the supper table tonight and
all of you set about getting for your
household the beauty and Joy that is
possible by acting upon these sugges-
tons? Doesn't a beautiful sunshiny
day make you feel better, make you
feel that life is sweeter, than raw,
murky mixture of clouds and slush?
And whether your home shall have
inspiring atmospheric of the sunshiny
day or the dismal suggestiveness of
mud underfoot and clouds overhead,
depends upon what you do or fail to
do for Identifying 1t.
Nor need the process of identifying
be expensive. Morning-glories, holly
hooks, sunhowers, peoples, castor
beans-any of the common old-fash-
toned flowers may be used.
There is no excuse for an ugly home
in the country-at least not in our
Southern country. If you can't paint
your buildings, you can at least white
wash them; and the beauty of vine
and shrub and blossom will glorify
even log cabin.-Starkville Miss)

JURORS WHO DEFEAT JUSTICE.

The following most excellent edi-
torial from the Houston Post should
be read and pondered carefully:
The action of Judge Robinson in
on his own motion the venue
of several forgery cases, on the ground
that he did not believe jury could be
found in the county to give the cases
a fair and impartial trial, was a stern
@buke to people who fail to impart
to their duty as jurors the proper
sense of justice and responsibility, and
yet the action of the judge seems to
be fully justified by the circumstances.

The Texas pharmacists in conven-
ton at Dallas adopted resolution re-
questing newspapers not to publish
descriptions of the poisons taken by
suicides because reading them causes
morbid persons to commit suicide.
There is no apparent reason why read
ing of self-destruction by poison should
affect the mind more than reading of
self-destruction by any other method.
The particulars of not only suicides
but of all crimes are unwholesome
reading and are reliShed only by peo-
pie of morbid minds. At would be
well therefore if the newspapers
would refrain from publishing them.
