Honesty BY Law.
loses was the first lawgiver.

Moses was the first lawgiver
He tried ten laws on the Israelites.
And that didn't make them all coed.
So along came some one else and
fixed up about hundred laws.
That number did not make human
ity any better.
On the principle, evidently, that in
obstinate diseases the dose should be
Increased, more and more laws were
made.
At last it became necessary to
choose men to do nothing but make
laws
Out of this grew the great Ameri
can game of politics, which the poll
ticians fondly incase in a~long-tailed
coat and finish off with top hat and
call craftsmanship
Not only do we have one set of men
busy making laws for the whole ma
ton to break, but each state has its
own set of men grinding out laws for
state fracture, and each community
has it's little bunch of aldermen pre-
pairing laws for local disregard
It might be well to go back to the
original ten, for rest.

Where is the bey-the real boy-the boy
that used to be,
The boy that planned to run away and
go to sail the sea,
The boy that yearned to twist a brake
upon the local freight,
The boy that thought a circus ring held
all of proud estate?
And where's the boy-the boy-est boy that
ever lived at all,
Who whstled on his fingers in a wild,
ear-splitting call?
Boys nowadays go solemnly at learning
this and that
Which he held IN the busy brain beneath
his ragged hat
oh, where's the hat he used to wear?-
The coffee straw" whose peak
Rose high while all the sagging brim
slapped him on neck and cheek.
Or else it was a hickory a shoe string
for a band
The dealer strung them on a cord, all
ready TO his hand
He was Boyl He knew more things
than you and / may learn,
He knew where Indian turnips grow. and
how they itch and burn,
He knew the birds Familiarity, he watched
May-appes grow
And had his private fishing place where
pIly ne HiiSiit ~,
He went barefooted- How his feet got
stone-brused right away
He never had his two front teeth. Where
is that boy today?
All. how he'd wbistlel First and little
fingers in his lips,
And then blast that cut the air like to
a hundred whips
And how he looked His mouth stretched
wide, his eyes all strained and set
It's strange that such boy as that Is
now no longer met
and be-shoed our boys go aim
lessly through life
And never staad red-faced and blow up
on their fngvr-fife.

Of General Robert e. Lee. 1t seems
that when he died at Lexington, va,

BaIks the Jail Rreakers

A detective was talking about jail
breaking.
"Down in Colombo" he said. "they
have got a very good dodge against
the Jail breaker. It's simple too. Just
bricks. You see. the Mutival Jail at
Colombo is surrounded by very high
brick wall. Well, the last dozen
courses of these bricks are laid loose,
without mortar. So when you try to
escape you climb stealthily, hardly
daring to breathe. up the wall, and
with a sigh Of relief you reach the
loose course at the top and-clatter,

warders rush out and you climb down
sadly into their waiting arms."-New

British Regiment Lost.
The first great disaster caused by an
iceberg occurred in 1887. The British
transport Albeura, bearing a regiment
from the garrison at Quebec, had made
her way down the St. Lawrence upon
the resumption of navigation out into
the gulf when she struck a berg that

Five years later, on June 1, 1861, the
Canadian, first Of the Allan lines trans

pool Three days afterward, when she
had reached a point eight miles south
OF Belle Isle strait, the Canadian struck
a sunken field of ice. Three Of her wa

were able to make Cape Baud in her

In 1864 and at almost the same spot
the Canadians sister ship, the Indian,
hit "growler," as bergs are called
when they have melted nearly down to
the water line. The Indian remained
af1oat for more than an hour. and in
that time all but twenty-five of her 300
passengers and crew got away to
safety.
In 1868 the City of Glasgow was
sunk by a berg over the ''tail" of the
banks at cost Of 4S0 lives, and in
1871 the City Of Boston went down
with 191 within few miles of the
same spot.
For three years after that time there
was no great disaster, but in 1874 the
freighter Ronald struck a berg and
sank before the thirty-five members Of
her crew could make even an attempt
to escape. On May 25, 1876, the Vicks-
burg of the Mississippi line left Mont
