Sometimes one is inclined to think
that the ngagement-breaker de-
serves a more lingering torment. 1t
is better, one will say, after one has
cooled down and forgotten the min
utes of nervous torture that the care
less person has inflicted, to send him
away to an institution maintained by
the State, where he may be operated
on for insufferable egotism and gem
eral callousness. These two diseases
seem to be at the bottom of his
vicious tendencies.
This is merciful age--a fact for
which the engagement breaker should
be devoutly thankful. We no longer
believe in the horrible punishments
that crimes deserve. He is both q
fool and knave, and there is really
something in that sociological theory
which suggests the. hanging Of the
fools and knaves and the reformation
of murderers. The latter are the more
hopeful subjects.
An habitual neglecter of appoint-
ments is a very mean sort of thief.
He might not put his hand into your
cash drawer and take your money,
but he will take your time, disarrange
your days plans, put you in bad
humor. and in general way knock
your affairs galley west and then turn
up with a. glib excuse, as If he had
done nothing serious.
If you are of nervous disposition,
he has added the crime of man
slaughter to that Of theft. He takes
minutes or days or years from your

worry and thinks nothing of 1t. Incl
dentally, he sends you home at night

legal doctrine of justiflable homicide

bottom of it. He thinks only of his

few weeks before the presidential
campaign of 1884. canvass in which
he was extremely interested. Some-
thing in the course Of our converse
ton brought up the name of James
z. English.
ST never think of Governor Eng
lish." said Mr.. Sperry, without re-
calling the real personal sadness l
felt in 1871 because, by reason OF what
I did. he was deprived Of reelection
as governor of Connecticut.
This sadness was due wholly to my
profound admiration of the noble ana
honorable manner in which Governor
English had acted at the time OIL
this contested election.
English had already served as
governor, having defeated Joseph r.
Hawley in 1867 Earlier he was a
member of Congress in the New
Haven district. He was a staunch
Democrat and knew why he was
Democrat, yet he voted for the legis-
lation by Congress which extermin-
sted slavery in the District of Column
bia. 1 remember that at the time OF
the assassination of President Lin
coin, English presided at mass
meeting at New Haven and was so
yisibly affected that the tears ran
down his cheeks and he completely
broke down as he tried to address
the meeting.
HE was some years afterward a
member of the United States Senate
for a brief term.
The result of the gubernatorial cleo
ton of 1871 was very close. On the
face of the returns English was elect
ed by a plurality OF less than hun

Florence had been born in Naples no
doubt the unheard Of name of Par
thenope would now be as popular as
is Florence, because it Was in honor
of the heroine of the Crimean war
that the first F1orenees received their

The courageous women of America
who went to the front during the

pattern of womanly heroism and no.

laziness to callousness is only step.
and when he has reached this stage
he's a greater menace TO society than
the sneak thief. He takes that which
is of more value than the loot of the
out-and -out thief and he thinks less
upon his sins. Therefore there is less
chance of his reform.
What is needed is an association
for the suppression Of engagement
breakers. There is great work before
such an organization.
Its first task win be to keep a lot
of tired business men who suffer from
the pests out of the hospitals for the
insane and to start a lot of the pests
themselves in that direction.

Another concrete tribute TO the
memory of this great woman exists
in the Nightingale Home for Trained
Nurses In London. which was estab-
lished by a gift of $1,000 pounds, or
about a quarter of million dollars
sum which had been presented to
Miss Nightingale as a testimonial Of
the respect which the. people of Eng
land felt for her heroic work during
the .Crimean war. and which she in
turn devoted to the far reaching
work of establishing a nurses home.
An honor which Miss Nightingale
felt most keenly was bestowed by the
citizens of London when they granted
her the freedom of the city, an honor
never before bestowed on any woman
except the Baroness Burdett-Coutts.
