THE TRUTH.


New York life, various Western newspapers
and a number of notoriety seekers elsewhere
have been busy censuring the Atlanta court
which. II is claimed sent boy to prison for a
number OF years for petty theft and now the
Baltimore American chirps in with this:
A thirteen-year-old boy in Atlanta has been
two years in a reformatory for stealing Ave-
cent soda water bottle The lenency shown to
big violators of the law ia apparently sought to
be balanced by the severity with which petty
ofenses are punished. This system, especially Its
inevitable results of making criminals out OF
young boys. shows Its inhumanity equal only to
it's folly.
The truth OF the story has been told fire.

years In n prison yet in a reformatory for
stealing bottle of pop. The youth. 1t has
been explained. was adtudged incorrigible Sew

last time he happened to be up for stealing
bottle OF pop and not knowing what else
to do with him the judge sent him to a re-
formatory not for a term OF years. but until
he shall have reached the age of twenty-one.
Where else could court send incorrigible
except to the reformatory?

THE TRIAL BALANCE OF CHARACTER.

men profess to have Detailing his faults and
his virtues he gets thia trial balance

Translated this means that college educa-
ton teaches the boy meet emergencies and
to adjust himself to his surroundings-enables
him to learn more quickly what is TO be done
and how to do it.
Following are the negative traits OF charac-
ter. which weighed against the positive give Mr.,
Eltng's trial balance:
Impatience to succeed.

Tendency to snobbshness.
lacking in industry.

Lacking In appreciation OF time

The history Of the medical treatment OF
malaria is unique. The first specific for any
disease was found In $780, when quinine cured
the malaria Of the Countess Ell Cinchon. Sir
Patrick Manson suggested In 1894 that the
mosquito might be the carrier OF the mAiariai
parasite and Major Ronald Ross IN 1851
Identified the Anopheles the culprit which.
from the time Of Hippocrates, had borne tho
relapsing malarial fevers around the world. IN

that OF Major Ross Is now announced by pr.

Canal and oompetition.

Indications Of the probable effect the Pana-
canal will have ION traffic are being disclosed
very frequently. The latest is the announcement
that the Canadian Pacific will have it's line dou-
BILE tracked from coast to coast before the canal
is formally opened for business. few years
ago were expected to believe that the con-
struction of the canal would be a body blow to
the transcontinental railway lines Later. when
work the canal was under way, we were in
formed that the railways would not mind; that
the heavy slow freight would 60 by the water
route; and that, anyway the railways will have
all they can do to attend to the local traffc and
to -perishabie and other freight for which speedy
delivery IL required
Now the Canadian Pacific shows that not only
does it expect to have all 1t can do, but Ia expect
ing to handie more business than could be taken
under present conditions That means either
tina the canal will increase the volume OF trafic
or that the railway line. spurred by the possibil-
ties Of the water route, will after trafic that
it Ia now ignoring The development OF the
Canadian Northwest Of course, might be con-
sidered ample reason for double-tracking, but
does not account for the desire to have the work
done when the canal Is opened for business
