the van, was lame. Both animals
were being dragged along.
The prisoner, through an interpret
er, declared he was ill, and if doctor
would certify him well be would be
willing to go to prison for twenty
years.
A veterinary surgeon said the bear
wanted feeding up, but it was cruelty
to allow the pony to live.
Then it would be better if the bear
ate the pony" the Judge said, for the
bear would then be fed and the pony
would be out of its misery. l under

animals have to be kept half starved
or they become dangerous?"
THAT is so,' said the witness, 'but
not so much as in this case"
A remand was granted, not to en-

IN PRAISE OF THE ONION


Why Il It that SO beautiful and de-
licious a{egetable as an onion causes
such horfpf among humankind when it
has once been consumed?
Why r It that ones wife shudders
when she sees her husband gnawing
at the Juicy interior Of big Bermuda,
when the scientific chaps so strongly
recommend the onion as a most
healthful and proper form of grub?
Why oh, why does an onion taste
SO much differently In the morning?
Nobody knows!
There are a few people who abso-
lutely detest the mere idea of an on
ion, but the antagonistic attitude Is
generally a precautionary measure.
Many people would like to eat on
ions, If they dared, and only refrain
from doing so when under heavy
pressure They are told that the odor
of a mild and companioncble onion
upon ones breath stamps him as one
OF the rabble.
If he reeks with the perfume of a
lucent cigar it is o, X. Likewise it
is all right if he has been reveling in
some of the more deadly varieties of
cheese, but as for the onion-never!
Onions are mighty handy vegeta-
bles in the kitchen of the elite, and
are used to flavor most salads and
dressings and things, where they are
du1v anDraoiafad h1It Jilxo tho oon-
mon workingman, while useful about
the house, they must not be brought
into the drawing room unless in dis
guise.
This outrage against the onion
spring, Bermuda and Spanish-when
properly studied, is likely to make a
socialist of almost anyone.

BY Lake In Winter.

The deep sense of peace which fills
the woods at midwinter is nowhere
expressed more fully than where a
sylvan lake or pool reflects with calm
surface the grayness Of the patient
skies.
Strained by the autumn scourings
of the hills, and the decay OF innumer-
able leaves, the water is rarely clear
and bright, as when 1t mirrors the
clearer heavens Of spring and sum-
mer.
1t CLEANS to the slanting light that
strikes between denser masses OF
cloud in tints of yellowish suffusion
from the rainscoured clay, or in a
strange jade-green opaQueness.
Where the naked trees upon the
margin Of the lake project the whole
length of their reflection upon its un-
moved water, they present an i'm
preston Of enormous columnar height,
such as can never be equaled after
the leaves of the summer add sub
stance to the lines Of their upper
boughA.

A,lLes.ons Of Life.

The worst kind Of trouble and sol
row should only teach us the lesson
If a wider sympathy and love. We
should never allow ourselves to be-
come immersed in our own griefs, for
that only intensifies them. Lot us
shut them out of our minds as much
as possible.
By letting no day pass without do
ing some kindness to others who are
perhaps far worse OF than we are,
the trouble, which seemed so gigantic
OF first, will gradually sink to Lillipu-
tian dimensions. BY thinking sunny
thoughts and shutting out the intrud-
ing dark ones we can rob grief Of all
It's sting. By admitting only the
thoughts Of love and peace We help
ourselves and many others.
