A DeVout Man.

A dev0ut man does his duty better
Chan another, because he sees his po-
sition more completely; gazes over
the wide field of his relations visible
and invisible; exaggerates nothing
from its proximity, and overlooks
nothing from its distance;' but, with
the cle9r sense of moral proportion,
receives from all the true impression,
and gives to all the fit affection. He
does not render his mental view false
by ignoring the whole region that lies
beyond experience, and treating it as
If it had no existence; or fever his

OF Schwabach last November
without paying the toll of 40
pfennigs (nOrmally eight cents,

change three-fifths of one cent?.
Unable to ascertain who
owned the car, the Schwabach
police chief reported to the

which turned the matter over
to the Bavarian foreign minis
ter. Then the report went
through Munich police depart
ment, the Schwabach board Of
aldermen, and a score of hands
to the agricultural council Of

the automobile belonged to the
state of Bavaria and therefore
was not subject to the Schwa-
