Two More Counts Against Grabber.

Though Chris Morgan, the Jack

ter frightening a number of women
recently, was only given a fifteen
day sentence on a charge of assault,
there are two more counts against
him and he may yet suffer more Sc

Justice of the Peace Parkes. He
pleaded guilty to all three counts, his
only defense being that he was drunk
and did not know what he was doing.

Prestige Of Office.

The values of public Office have un-
derdone many changes in the course
of our history. Strange as it may seem
now, the mayoralty of New York was
the great prize for young political am
billions 100 years ago. 1t was then
an appointive Office within the gift Of
the governor of the state. Dewitt
Clinton left the United States senate
to accept it when it was bestowed
upon him by his uncle, the governor.
Indeed, in the era the test Of attrac-
tiveness of Office appeared to be its
proximity to the people. The United
States senatorship, now only a small
or crown for career than the pres
idency itself, was looked upon as not
much more desirable than q seat In
the popular house. There is record
of the resignation of distinguished
Connecticut senator to become secre-
tary of the state board Of education.
Another left the senate to take part
nership In commercial firm. The
governorship of territory seemed
more desirable than chair In the
United States senate to one man who
might fairly claim to be In the sec
ond row of prominence in his day.

Greenland 10 Green.

Greenland is green in more wayA

trees are a most beautiful green, and
travellers declare no such color Is
found elsewhere in the world.
Greenland is practically a great
group Of green mountains covered
with ice that has a green tint. and
which has formed great icebound gla.
ciers, that are tied between the noun
tain ranges and can be penetrated on
ly by drill.
Where the sun strikes with sufi.
cient force the ice and snow let go,
and the glaciers, which are called
"live," often melt enough to slide and
dash down the mountain, or drop
with an awful force into the inlets.
Very often such glaciers do a lot OF
damage to shipping that has sought
shelter in bays or inlets.
During the long night period the
country is often illuminated with what
we term northern lights, or aurora
borealis. Without this electrical dis.
play, the country would be wrapped
in darkness of a peculiar density.

Hoods SarsaparilIa

has an excuse for doing SO. But"
be writes, Il want to ask you what
you think of this: l attend church
where the assistant sleeps during the
sermon, and a few Sundays ago he
had the nerve to tell the rector It
was the finest sermon he had ever
heard him (the rector) preach, when
he had been sleeping through it,"
This is certainly very shocking. We
submit, however, that If the assistant
slept calmly through the sermon he
could do no. less than compliment it.

lOND0N'S LORD MAYOR
EASILY HIGHEST PAID MAeIs.
TRATE IN THE WORLD.
Head Of Worlds Greatest City, re
Performs the Duties of Simple
Justice of the Peace In His
Official Mansion.

No more violent contrast Ia to be
found the world over than that exist
Ing between the various duties of the
lord mayor of London. Theoretically,
at least, the king of Great Britain and
Ireland and emperor of India cannot
enter the city of London without his
consent; yet he spends the best part
OF his mornings dispensing Solomon
like justice upon DRINKS who have
broken the peace of the square mile
OF territory over which he rules.
OF course, the mayor of an Ameri-
can city Is It's chief magistrate, but he
seldom II ever Is called upon to waste
his valuable time over such humble
duties. In London, the greatest city
In the world, the lord mayor, unless
called away on other duties, Is to be
found every morning after II o'clock
in the little justice room of the great
Mansion House, his official residence,
dealing with the astonishingly small
batch of lawbreakers taken in the
net of the great police system that
makes the city of London proper the
safest and most lawabiding stretch of
territory to be found in any large city
in the world.
The city is only a square mile in
extent, the greater part of 1t being &C.
cupied by the great business houses
that control the finances of the world.
There is located the famous Bank of
England, for instance, behind whose
eight-foot walls repose at all times
reserve fund of $1O0,O00,000 in gold.
Twenty-eight soldiers guard the treas
ure from within, but from without it is
even better looked after. Scattered
about the square mile of London, as
thick as flies about honey pot, are
1900 bluecoated policemen. After
eight or nine o'clock at night the
silence of the streets in that part OF
Greater London is seldom broken ex-
cept by the slow tread of the guard
ians of the law. Foolhardy, indeed,
would be the burglar who attempted
to ply his trade in this well-guarded
area.
It is not strange, then, that Grimm
ais give the city wide berth and the
majority of those who find themselves
in the dock facing the lord mayor of
London are men and women who have
drunk mot wisely but too we'll" The
present lord mayor is teetotaler, but
he Is possessed of delightful broad
mindness that views with sorrow rath-
er than anger and severity the weak
nesses of others. The city Of Lon
don DRINKS never had a more lenient
magistrate to pass judgment upon
them, and dismissals with kindly
word of reproof and encouragement to
better deeds far outnumber the fines.
The lord mayor of London receives
as much as the president of the Unit
ed States. His yearly pay envelope Is
twice as bulky as that Of the prime
minister of Great Britain. Those who
have a leaning toward mathematics
can figure out that he is the highest
paid magistrate in the world, when
one takes into consideration the pro-
portion of his waking day that Is spent
on the bench. 1t must not be thought,
however, that he has nothing else to
do, although 1t is perfectly clear that
his duties, taken as a whole, are large
ly ornamental.
