EASEMENTS APPEAL
FAILS, GALLOWS NEAR
Sir Rogers Only Hope Is
Through Prosecutor.

London, July 19.-Without hearing
the attorneys for the crown, the
Court of Criminal Appeal dismissed
Sir Roger Easements appeal from the
verdict Of the lower court which found
him guilty of treason for which Wis
count Reading, the Lord Chief JUS
tice sentenced him to death
For day and half Alexander Sui
livan, Sir Rogers counsel, argued be-
fore the court, quoting many authOri-
ties in favor of his contention that the
offense Of treason depended upon
whether the accused dwelt under the
protection of the king and that the
crime could not be committed with
out the realm. He abandoned his
other points in regard to the lord chief
Justices definition of the offense.
A further appeal to the house of
lords is possible only if the attorney
general gives a certificate that the de-
cisiOn Of the Court of Criminal Appeal
involves a point of law so exceptional
ly important that it is desirab BILE in the
public interest that still higher court
should deal with it. This has been
done only twice since the Court of
Criminal Appeal was established, eight
years ago.

THE WORLDS SYMBOLISM

The above is the title of new volume
by Rev. Andrew Joseph Ambauen, Ph.
D., Dodgeville, Wisconsin, author of
good books. Here is paragraph from
a foreward by the author:
All nature, says one, is mighty parable of
spiritual truth. To the attentive ear, all the
earth is eloquent: to the rejecting mind, all
Nature is symbolical. Each object has voice
which reaches the inner ear, and speaks lessons
of wise and solemn import. The stream
murmurs increasingly its secrets; the sybilne
breeze in mountain glens and lonely forests
sighs forth its oracles. We are told that the
invisible things of God, from the beginning of
the world. are clearly seen; being understood
by the things that are made. From the very
first. spiritual significance was embodied in
the physical forms and processes of the uni
verse. Nature as a whole, was meant to be for
man the vesture Of the spiritual world.
This volume, The Worlds Symbolism
is illustrated by several fine pen draw
ings by Mrs Archibald McKeller of
Blanchardville.

Polite towards
GAINESVILLE Gazette.

What I should have said, if I hadn't
been inhibited by the cowardice of
pOliteness was:
First, 81 don't think you accom-
plished such a great deal. You didn't
accomplish any more than several
other stenographers I've had and not
as much as my best one"
Second, mo, I shall not come again.
[ can't afford it. I can get just as
good work done elsewhere for fair
rate"
Now, wouldn't it have been fairer
and squarer and franker and health
Ter all around to have told her why?
Wouldn't it have been better for my
soul and hers?
There is such thing as too much
frankness. Some people are so con-
stantly giving other people a piece of
their minds that you wonder if they
can have any left.
But there is also such a thing as
keeping your mind too much to your
self, being too complaisant.
People who are too comp1aisant en-
courage injustice and overbearng
ways in others.
