read, Commissioner Porter rose to his

PUNIsHIUE;NE.

There IL use for the whip. but 1t Is
more useful in the hands Of the mer-
cifu1 than the merci1ess, writes John
A. Sleicher In Leslie's. In the school
room for the indolent child, In the
family for the disobedient one, and in
the community for the dishonest. the
punishment has its mission.
The whip should not only be punt

the hands OF a brute to be used with
brute force is therefore to add to the
mischief Of the situation; to put 1t In
the hands Of the merciful and the just
