OFFICERS AND CRIMINALS.

Persons who are arrested and convict
ed of crime very generally feel that the
officers who make the arrests, the grand
juries which indict, the juries which
find them guilty, and the judges who
pronounce sentence have a personal
spite against them. This is not true.
The officers are only carrying out the
mandates that society has given them
for its protection. The officers are only
men, and their sympathy is generally
with their unfortunate fellowman. A
fine example of this came to our notice
just the other day. We were in court
room when a man, who had been con-
victed Of a crime and had served six
months in Jail under sentence imposed
by the judge. but who vet had sometime
to serve out in lieu of payment of fine
and costs, was brought before the Judge
The judge, however, had decided to re-
lease the prisoner, believing that the
ends of justice had been served, so that
he might go home to his wife and
children who very much needed his at
tention. The judge is a stern but lust
Judge, and is very much feared by Grim
inals. The prisoner, when brought in
this day before the judge, stood abashed
and in fear. The Judge proceeded to
lecture him on his shortcomings, and
told him in q very positive way that he
had been convicted of carrying a pistol;
that another offense would mean the
penitentiary; that he ought to be a man
and useful to society instead of in Jail,
and wound up by telling him that he
was gong to release him; that he wanted
him to go home to his wife and family
and take care of them; that it was both
his moral and legal duty.
The judge had personal knowledge of
the want of the mans family, and when
he finished his caustic lecture, which
was intended solely for the prisoners
good, he knew that he had done his duty
as judge which he had sworn to do. Then
IN the softened tones of the man whose
heart throbs for his fellowman, he babe
the prisoner approach near HIM. The
prisoner did so. The stern lines of the
Judge who had duty to perform faded
away. His face lit up by the kindled
feeling of sympathy, and he whispered
to the prisoner to go to his (the Judge 81
home and get box of clothing and edi-
bles which had been prepared to take to
his (the prisoner's) family. The judge,
now the man, whispered to the prlsone,
a few minutes before, and when TOLD
that he might go, he stepped proudly
away.
If he has spark of manhood, he
must have resolved to be better man.
In all our life we have not seen a fine,
example Of the officer doing his duty ano
at the same time finer example OF the

sLAMEs DRINKING FOR CRIME.
Jury Deplores Its Prevalence In Pre-
hibition Territory.

Rockville - The grand jury for
Montgomery county, which is pro.
hibition territory, says in its report,
submitted to the Circuit Court at the
close Of an eight-day session:
We are fully of the opinion from
the evidence that has come before us,
that cider, wine, beer and whiskey
drinking, together with the carrying
Of concealed weapons, is the most
prolific source of decentralization and
crime known to the county"

lawlessness in the town Of Glen Echo

constables OF the county keep dill
gent watch and report any violation

LIST OF 100 WORST BOOKS
suggestion Is Offered That Some
Wise, 6roadmlnded Man Make
Up the List.

There are some who have q passion
for making lists of the greatest"
the best" men, books, paintings,
musical compositions. There Is a ia
nous list of the 100 best books, and
any one reading them night and day
to the exclusion of others would be
q tiresome prig.
A list of the 100 worst books drawn
up by man Of true critical acumen
and catholic taste, human being,
would be much more to the purpose,
although 1t would include some vol
umes now ranked as classic and in
valuable. Charles Lambs essay on
books is too familiar for quotation.
M. Anatolo France alluded to Gabriel
Piequot OF Dijon as a man who, writ
ing volume after volume about books,
yet wrote no book. Oscar Wilde d.
vided books into three classes-books
to read, books to reread and books
not to read at all-and among the last
he included Thomson's Seasons"
all John Stuart Mill except the essay
on liberty. Hume's England, "all ar
gumentative books and all books that
try to prove anything"
To tell people what to read Is, as a
rule, either useless or harmful; for
the appreciation of literature is a
question OF temperament, not of teach
Ing; to Parnassus there Is no primer,
and nothing that one can learn is
ever worth learning.-Philip Hale. in
Boston Herald.

UNCLE RUBE SAYS:

The greatest Big Bluff in the world
is Big Talk.
The only way to discourage dead
beat is to refuse him credit.
Don't spend too much time look
ing for good thing. Get it.
Don't raise the devil unless you
can handle him when he appears.
Where people talk great deal
they "change their minds" oftener
than they are willing to admit.
A crank likes to brag about having
the courage of his convictions, al
though they may not amount to much.
When married women express the
hope that bride "won't be fool"
they mean they hope she will watch
him.
If you want to get secret out of
man, don't bluntly ask him for it;
give him chance to talk and he will
usually leak.
Most people are expected to grum-
bic about taxes, but we note that the
internal revenue tax on booze and
tobacco is paid quite cheerfully by
the ultimate consumers.
No doubt you believe in fairness,
and common sense, and law, and ar
bitratiOn, but you are very quiet
about it; whereas, the Noisy Boys, in
advocating their principles, can be
heard mile when they talk.
In country town society, when

are present. And the girl shows her
because of ma s bad man

Doctor Defends Meat Eaters.

In his recently published work DR..
Robert Hutchinson observes that en-.
ergy Is not to be confused with mus
cular strength. A grass fed cart horse
Is strong; a corn fed hunter is ener.
getic. Energy is a property of the
nervous system; strength Of the mus
cles. Muscles give US the power to
do work; the nervous system gives us
the initiative to start 1t. Muscles do
their work upon carbohydrates
(starch foods), which are the charac-
teristic nutritive constituents of vege-
table foods; the brain appears to re-
quire nitrogen, which can only be at
tained in a concentrated form from
animal sources. If proteid food, there
fore, be regarded as a nervous food,
q diet rich in it will make for intel
lectual capacity and bodily energy,
and 1t Is not without reason that the
more energetic races of the world
have been meat eaters

c0ASTING AND ITS GLoRIEs
So'umnus Editor Grows Some Enthus-
'ast'c az He Writes on the
Subject.

During the last snow spell the bovs
had out their sleds and did a deal OF
coasting. There Is no memory of
youth as glorious as that sport. No.
body ever thought that the fun of
sliding down hill was in the slightest
diminished by the labor of trudgine
back uphill.
The swift and exhilarating 10Y of
hitting down the hillside was a grand
part of a boys experience. and will
never grow stale In the memory.
What a great thing 1t would be II the
spirit OF that sport would get into the
humdrum of life and brighten it up
some.
There Is one feature Of this coast
Ing business that stands out like
promontory. That was "belly-bustin'. I"
Tnere Is no use to feel squirmish
about the term or hesitate to breathe
1t aloud in q literary column.
That was the exciting feature of
coasting. and was indulged in mostly
by the boys of daring and patched
clothes Get out of the way!" he
shouts, and bang goes the sled on the
slippery hillside, with tho boys legs
stretched far astern the sled in the
endeavor to guide 1t. but, failing, on
ne runs into boy here, knocks ono
DOWN there. and turns another end for
end out In the snow. Oh. but 1t was
glorious! One can hear that yell yet.
II men would do that to one another
IN the grown-up world, there would
b hghting and madness all the time,
but In the boy world It belonged to
the beautiful sanctities of life. To
this day we take OF our hat to The
belly ly-buster. Columbus Journal.
