THE LONG DAY CLOSES.

No star Is Ger the lake
Its pale watch keeping;
The moon is half awake
Through gray mist creeping.
The last red leaves fall round
The porch Of roses;
The clock hath ceased to- sound,
The long day closes.
Sit by the silent hearth
In calm cndeavOr
To .ount the soUdS of mirth
Now dumb forever.
Heed not how hope believes
And fate disposcS.
Shadow is round the caves,

Where grief reposes;
Thy book of toll is read.

MENTAL CRIMINALS.

Once it was held as a sound maxim of
law that when a man confessed to the
commission of a crime his evidence
should be assumed to be true, on the the
DRY that a man viii not give evidence
against himself in amy matter involving
his life or his honor. Su.h IA man would
be hanged out of hand unless manifest
~ insane. Today such a confession, in
the minds of courts and criminal law
yers, hardly creates a presumption OF
his guilt. 1T is inconceivable,' said the
older jurists, that IA man would brand
himself a criminal, and imperil his life
or liberty by a lie deliberately formula
ted and voluntarily published.
1t is not inconeeivables On the ether
hand it actually happens, and it hap
pens with such frequency that it now
surprises no one.
However, as a matter Of sound prac
tice, ii might be wei for the courts to
assume that the man has actually com.
mitted the crime he has confessed unless
there is clear, unmiStakablc evidcn" thai
the putative criminal is actually crazy
mad as a March hare. Any man who does
confess to crimes he never committed
may well be suspected of some mental
unsoundneSs, but the same thing may
be suspected of most other criminals the
greater the brutality and cnormity of
the crime, the greater the presumption Of
unsoundness. If a man who confcSScs
to one or a dozen; horrible murders is
not manifestlyi crazH, why not take his
word and hang him or send him I'd the
electric chair? 1t is clear that such a
man is a criminal at heart, Tie has 4
criminal mind or he would not pose aS
a criminal would moi consider il Il dis
t~lnction be regarded a. ata cr,m
iinal. What else max be- done with him.
with proper consideration for pJbiit
safety WHY NOT accept his confession
as a VALID reason for putting am end
to his criminal warnings before his
bloody dreams find realization in b'o'dv
realities. 1t would at least be possible
to shut him up in m insane ASYLUM I'M

MUSING OF A CITY BUILDER

BY l.. NJ. Ward. Sherman, Texas.
They took a little hustle
And they took Il little grit,
a little optimism
And some get up and git,
A little thought and patience,
4 little effort too,
4 little get together.
4 little work TO do.
They took some perseverance,
And some persiStency,
Some firm determination,
Some real consistency.
T%enacity and courage
They added to the rest;
A little public spirit,
Some nerve to stand the test.
A little unremitting,
answering confidence;
a little p,ucky p'odding,
4 bit Of good horse sense;
a little careful planning,
\ little civic pride.
They said, Wei build Il city
Where this old town has died" .
They organized their forces.
Put everyone to work,
They pushed the live ones forward
Ignoring those that shirk.
They got a lot of members.
The kind that work and pay.
That is growing day by day.
