ENACTMENT OF
USELESS LAWS :.

The unnecessary multiplication Of
laws in every state and city
throughout the United .Sta.e IS at
trading general attention. In most
cases the object of the proposers of
useless statutes is to saddle upon
taxpayers additional officials, who
generally enjoy sinecures. The pres
ent Code of the State Of Virginia
forms several ponderous volumes
and if the good work Of adding to it
continues it will be before the pres
en, generation shall have passed
away become as bulky as William
the Conquercr's Doomsday Book.
The Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch has
the following:
Hardly a day, and it almost might
be said with truth, hardly q minute
passes but somebody in this country
proposes that some custom or law
in this country shall be changed. The
favorire prescription of he majar-
ity cases is that there shall be new
law made to fit some eNigency which
has arisen.
The Congress and the legislatures
arc turning out new laws by Whole
sale, but together do not seem to be
able 20 half supply the demand and
probably would not be were they to
work "a hour shifts.

ces are heard asking for new laws,

SAVED BY HIS WIFE.
Arthur Lee Escapes Prosecution by
Payment.

Richmond, My 9.-Because his wife
possessed such a deep sense OF perso-
nal honesty that she felt compelled to
repay the victims of his forgeries IN
installments, Arthur Lee, alias Leon
ard, who was arrested in Philadelphia
will not have to stand trial. Not unit!
the victims of Lees forgeries appear
ed at headquarters yesterday morning
to make the affidavitS necessary to
be presented with a request for extra
dition did the police learn of the sacrl-
fees which the devoted wife Of the
forger had been making. When quest
Toned, M. C. and Maggie Riggs, whose
names Lee forged to orders for goods
valued at $177.S1, said that the Witt
had been repaying them in small IN
stallments, and that all but S35 ot
their loss had been restored at the
present time. The wife still is continu-
ing her payments.
Commemorative Attorney hinetree
Folkes, when he was made acquainted
with the facts, declared that it would
be useless to send for Lee, as a con-
viction would be almost impossible.
Consequently all proceedings leading
to the mans extradition TO Virginia
were dropped.
Mrs Lee conducts boarding house
at 1905 Fifth street, Fulton, and Il
is from the modest profits Of her lab
ors there that she has made good the
money criminally gotten by her hus-
band.
The story of her efforts 10 make
good the loss suffered by the Riggses
corroborates the story Lee told the
Philadelphia police when he was ar
rested. He said shat his wife was
repaying the money, and that ne was

self toward the platform, SO when she
fell to the rails her left hand was cut
off. 1t dropped btween the rails.
When the train was stopped Miss
Beurnier was fully conscious While
waiting for the ambulance she ap-
paren!ly realized for the first time
that her hand was gone. "Wfere is my
hand?" she said, calmly. There are
two rings on one finger-one large
diamond. Please don't lose them; they
are very dear to me-" A thief who
picked up the hand made off with it.

THE LIVES WE LEAD.

Do you ever sop and ponder DER thu

Did you ever think how commonplace
We are in word ard deed?
Do you ever find occasion to deplors
your peaceful lot,
And wish to start riot and to make
things somewhat ho,?
Our days and months and years arc
nothing but The same old grind
And mighty Little romance in the av,
erags life you find,
We early rise and go 10 work and
come back home to eat,
Then 60 to bed, for plain stupidity
that's hard to beat.
The days of staying dragons just tc
save a maiden fair,
Or tracking some wild dangerous
beast into his hidden lair,
Or going forth TO seek the Ear Of
north and Southern poles.
Are passed and gone, romance has
died and gone forth from ~:
souls.
For maidens fair are militant and
their own battles fight,
The dangerous beasts are al! k.lled
off, it doesn't seem quite riga
The poles are both discovered. ant
it seems as if we must
Say home and whip the cni.drer
and cook and sweep and dust.

Toned country relative who used t.
