PAY YOUR FINE
In w. S. s., SAY
POLICE JUDGES
San Francisco Courts Will Try
Character-Building Meas
ures in Minor Cases

Upon the thesis that thrifty man
IS a better citizen and that many
of our economic ills and much of our
present day social unrest are due di-
rectly to thriftlessness,' Police and
/ Superior Judges of San Francisco are
planning to give persons convicted of
minor attractions of the law an alter
native of investment in Government
securities, such as War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates instead of fining them. Judge
I. |. Fitzpatrick, Presiding Judge of
the Police Court Mere, said, Il shall be
glad to assist in the movement in this
direction, keeping in mind, however,
at all times, the provisions of the
charter of the city and county"
The alternative of investment in
Government securities will be offered
whenever it is within the power of
the judge to fine or set free the de-
PENDANT in a misdemeanor case. This
attempt said another judge, will
give such defendants chance to help
themselves and their Government and
cultivate a habit of saving, lack of
which we feel is often at the bottom
of their transgressions
Family rows which find their way
into court and have many times as
their fundamental cause lack of thrift
or spendthrift habits, are expected to
furnish rich field for the expert
ment in penalization to be tried by
the San Francisco judges. As a rule,
the Judge has in such cases the right
to fine or release defendants with
severe lecture, and hereafter it is
probable that family rows in San
Francisco will really be beginnings of
many bank accounts.
The judges will attach only one
condition in levying a penalty of in
yestment rather than fining a defend
ant, and that condition is that the
guilty accepting the alternative must
keep their securities until the date of
In this way the jurists
hope to lead the thriftless into the |
ways of thrift, sound living and bet |

WHY HEBRlDEs ARE SPLIT
the Breaking Up Of the Famous
"Western Isles"

The Butt Of Lewis, where the first
news was received Of the safety Of
Mr.. Hawker and Commander Grieve,
is the most northerly point of the
Hebrides, or ssWestern Isles" of
Scotland. Doctor Murray, who rep
resents the islands in parliament,
tells that the rock at the Butt is
pierced right through by a hole,
forming a romantic natural arch,
and that is known as "the eye of the
needle"
The legend is that in old days the
Norsemen put a rope through the
'eye" and tried to tow this most
westerly land of the British isles
away 10 Scandinavia. Then the
land, as they tugged, began to break
up bit by bit on the map. First
Barra broke away, then North and
South Uist, and as Harris began to
show signs Of breaking away from
Lewis, the Norsemen gave the job
up in despair and sailed away home.
That is why 'Sthe Western Isles are
not today one continuous island.
The Butt rises sheer from the sea
to height of 142 feet. The light
house on it was built in 1861

TREADMILL FOR MOUSE

More than century ago thrifty
Scot, David Hutton, saw pet mouse
driving the wheel in it's cage round
and round. Hutton decided to try
to harness this wasted power and
make it do something useful. By
experiments he found that mouse
would run about ten and one-half
miles day, and half-penny worth
of oatmeal would feed the little
animal for 35 days, during which he
would run 367 miles. He hit on the
idea that, as the mouse turned the
wheel, it should twist and reel sew
ing cotton, and he, set about con-
structing a tiny thread-mill. Every
DAY the mouse twisted and reeled
from 100 to 100 threads, each 25
inches long.

and six thousand. The confederate
captured nineteen battle flags in and
about the crater. The blowing up of
the lines at Petersburg has been CIV
en- up as the most cowardly act of
the war. An army Of $4,000 men,
well equipped and fed, confronting a
line of $4,000 men! And the only
way was to blow them up, but they
fell back fighting.
April the 9th dawned with a
gloomy outlook. 1t was then that bay
onets were affixed to muskets, arms
stacked and cartridge boxes unslung
and hung upon our stacks. The torn
and battered battle flags were leaned
against the stack. The emotion of the
soldiery was really sad to witness.
Some who had carried and followed
those ragged standards through four
years of strife, rushed from the
ranks, bent about their old bullet
torn flags and pressed them to their
lips. The flags which they still car
ried were objects of undisguised af-
fection. These banners had gone
down before overwhelming numbers;
torn by shells, riddled with bullets
and laden with powder and smoke OF
battle. These high mettled men began
to cut the flags from the stats and
hide them in their bosoms, as they
met them with their burning lips.
They wanted to keep them, as they
wanted to keep the old canteen with
a bullet hole through it, or the rusty
gray jacket that had been torn by a
canister. They loved those flags as
mother loves her frst-born, and will
love them forever, as mementoes OF
the unparalleled struggle, and be-
cause they symbolized the bloodshed
and glory of nearly a thousand bat
ties. But they had to let those flags
remain in the stack because General
Lee said so.
Thus the Southern army melted
away; the flag went down in its
grave at Appomattox and the brave
fellows laid down their rifles for the
hoe, the saber for the plow and the
sword for the pen, and revived. And
they have made the land of Dixie
blossom as the rose.

Opening Of 1865 Came Gloomy
Prospect.

The hopes Of foreign intervention
had long since been looked upon as
a delusion. All ports except Charles
ton, S. c., and Wilmington, N. c.,
were now in the hands of the feder-
ais. But Lees grim veterans lay IN
their trenches still. Only about 2S,-
600 had been holding in check an
army of $4,000 well fed and well
equipped for months. 1t is useless
for me to undertake to tell what
Lees army endured in the trenches
at Petersburg from July 1864 until
April 1865.
Tongue car. not tell it, pen can
not write it, the mind of man can
not grasp it unless he had been there
as a witness. No painters brush could
paint it. Army of Northern Virginia,
soldiers of Lee, who fought beside
YOUR captain until your frames were
wasted, you are greater to me IN
your wretchedness, more splendld IN
YOUR rags than the Old Guard OF Ma
poleon or the three hundred at the
Pass of Thermopylae. Neither famine
nor nakedness nor suffering could
break your spirit. You were battered
and half starved, your forms were
war-worn, but you still had faith in
Lee, and the great cause which you
bore aloft on the points of your bay
onets. You did not falter in the hour
of supreme trial, you meant to fol-
low Lee to the last ditch, and die with
your harness on.
Did they or did they not fight to
the end and to the last ditch? Ans
wer, Wilderness, Cold Harbor'
spotsylvania, Charles City, every
spot around Petersburg, when they
closed in death grapple with the
death grapple. Answer, winter OF
1864, black spring of 1865. They
fought staggering, starving and fol-
lowing, but defiant to the last.
Bearded men were seen to weep on
the ninth day of April, 1865, but 1t
was when they heard that their
mighty chief had surrendered, which
\ 4
wrung their hearts and brought
tears to grim faces.
The Crater, with its $4,000 pounds
of powder did not scare them. AS
soon as the men fell back these same
gray veterans swarmed like bees to
the mouth of the Crater and filled
it with Yankees and negroes.
You may speak of the dreadful
horror of war; Sherman was right
when he said "War is hell" Grant
thought he would blow up our lines,
cross over through the crater, but not
so. 1t turned to be death trap for
the federals. Their loss, according to
their own report was between five
