fence when he was still in knee pants
and very short ones at that. He was
fishing with an older lad off the
Three I railroad bridge over the ST.
Joe when a freight train bore down
on them before they had time to
reach the shore. This bridge was not
designed 10 accommodate freight
trains and pedestrians at the same
time, and the boys had TO crawl out
on the extreme end Of narrow,

an impression which Gail will never

PALM AWARDED TO DELMAS
Thaw Case outdoes That Writ
ten by Ruskin.

The English papers are running
a competition in the citation of long
sentences-famous long sentences,
from the works Of great writers, 1t
is claimed that this one from Rus
kin holds the record up to date:
"If it be true-and it can scarcely
be disputed-that nothing has been
for centuries ~consecrated by public
admiration, without possessing in a
high degree some kind of sterling ex-
%cellence, it is not because the aver
age intellect and feeling Of the ma
jority Of the public are competent
in any way to distinguish what is
really excellent, but because all er-
roneous opinion is inconsistent, and
all ungrounded opinion transitory;
so that while the fancies and feelings
which deny deserved honor and
award what is undue have neither
root nor strength sufficient to main
tain consistent testimony for a
length of time, the opinions formed
on right grounds by those few who
are in reality competent judges, be-
ing necessarily stable, communicate
themselves gradually from mind to
mind, descending lower as they ex-
tend wider, until they leaven the
whole lump and rule by absolute au-
thority, even where the grounds and
reasons for them cannot be under
stood, and on this, the gradual VIC
tory Of what is consistent over what
is %vacillating, depends the reputa-
ton Of all that is highest in art and
literature"
But this certainly cannot be the
longest sentence on record. 1t is a
mere laconicism, a physiological
baby, compared with the celebrated
Hypothetical question" which was
submitted to experts by Counsel
Delmas in the Thaw murder trial.
