BUTTERCUPS AND DAISIES.
Do you know how the tale of the buttercup
D.cume the son of the daisy.
Ah they grew bos.de the meadow bars.
In the sprintf-time soft and Lazy?
Was there promise of gold In the buttercup?
Was tiiere promise of sr.ow in Ihe daisy!
As a boy and pirl ctrie after the cows,
Joan West and his playmute. Mazier
' We'll tame the cows," eald Johnny West.
-Oh. ao wo will.' said Mazie;
-Yours sha'.l le named for this buttercup.
And mine called after this daisy."
They lingered so oft by the pasture fcars
That la after years a daisy
Would remind John West of a sunny haired girl.
His blue-eyed playmate, Mazie.
Ten years: and a tain by the meadow bars
John West confessed to Mazie;
"I would give all the gold of the buttercup
For the golden heart of the daisy."
And thus the tale of the buttercup

publican. THE 1GTII CHASSEURS.
The Last of Thoir Number Fell
Fighting Hungry Wolvca
In tho Frcrch invasion of Russia in
tho Sixtocnth Chasseurs woro de
tailed aa skirmishers. They had foupht
in Spain and liermany and had pained a
hib reputation for bravery. On tho
way to Moscow they made themselves
droaded by the Cossacks and tho sound
of their battle cry wastenough to put
tho "foxes of tho plains" to flight. As
is well known, the Russians offered no
serious resistance, but their heroic pol
icy of self-sac rifico in destroying; all
crops and provisions that lay in tho
path of the invader made tho enemy's
procrross very slow.
However, Moscow was peached at last
and promised to provo a haven of rest.
Then tho Russians crowned their previ
ous elTorta of dovotion to their country
by setting Cro to their old, sacred town
and in the depths of winter tho in
truders were forced to commence a dis
ustrous retreat.
Tho bitterly cold and pitilessy north
easter moaned and howled through the
scanty and stunted trees standing here
and there on the side plains of Western
Russia. It whisked sharp snow parti
cles high into tho air, whirled them
into shadowy Bhapes and drove them
furiously after a small troop of French
soldiers that were slowly and painfully
plowing through, tho rifts.
No.ono would have recognized tho
gay 'i?'v;.r.i of the Sixteenth Imperial
Chasseurs in tho30 wretched bundles of
rags that tottered feebly westward.
Three weeks before that regiment had
Ud the way into Moscow, two thousand
strong, mounted on fine horses, and tt:o
sun hud glistened brightly from their
uniforms cf light blue and gold. Vk hen
Moscow wont up in flames, they had
rrutected the rear of tho retreating
army; when tho retreat became a rout
they had still showed their teeth to tho
enemy. Rut haria-sscd hourly by the
relentless Cossacks, tortured by hunger
and cold day by day tho regiment hail
lost Bcores of bravo men till hardly
ono hundred remained. Weak and
worn, they still had a cheery word for
one another, and hoping against hope,
every man expected to seo once more
his beloved France one thousand miles
away. Of their horses but threo wero
left tottering along under stacks o
straw and horseflesh, they wero but
specters of fchoso fino steeds that once
needed the restraint of curb. Marcbin
westward wrapped in tho cloaks of their
dead comrades, their legs and feet
bumlled in horse hides, tied with tho
bridles and stirrup leathers of their
dead horses, staggering under tho bur
den of their carbines, tho Sixteenth
Chasseurs retained not a particlo of
their former splendor. - .-
Twilight was fast fading into night
when the little ban ! reached a slight
but welcomo shelter from tho icy fury
of tho wind under tho bank of a small
stream. A halt was male and a fire
kindled. Their supper was of melted
snow and boiled horseflesh. Guards
were posted ani tho weary men slept.
As morning prose savage veils re
sounded on all sides and bullets camo
pinging through the camp. . A party of
about two hundred Cossacks had acci
dentally come upon them, and tho sup
eriority of tho enemy in weapons and
numbers gave them but littlo promise of
asuccessfui resiit&nco. oiley after vol
ley (f the Cossacks could only be answer
ed by a few well-directed shots, for their
ammunition was getting low and they
daro not waste a bullet. The Cossacks
grow bolder circling nearer and nearer
round the camp, socking a weak upot for
one of their resistless charges. Sud
denly they clustered together, pointing
toward the east and gesticulating vio
lently then'spurring their horses they
all rodo oil to the west- As the enemy
fled tho French raised a shout of victory
fer lLog sure, help was near at hand.
Probably a largo detachment of tho re
treating army was coming" up and in
their joy they rushed out of their shelter
and poured a hail of lead after the rap
Mfy disappearing Cossacks. Looking
eastward they discerned on tho horizon
a long black line, but blinded by tho
glare of thenow they could not at first
make out what it was. Untthe horrorg
of their situation burst upon them when
tho faint but terrible, ominous sound of
prolongod howling reached their' oars.
That long lino meant wolves.
Despair was in- their hoarta, but" ihey
at once began preparations for a a tout
defense. Twenty had fallout beneath
tho bullets of the CoRsacks-i-only ciglUy
men to face hundreds of wolves. They
gathered the rifles of the dead Cossacks
and of their dead comrades and "nastily
threw up an embankment of snow.
Hounding with long strides over the
undulating stretch of frozen plain on
came that ravenous host of fierce brutes.
Howling and yelping they came straight
over tho track of tho Cossack troop that
was now but a dim speck on tho hori
zon. They would halt to devour tho
bodies of those who had fallen beneath
tho French ilro, and an attack was in
evitable. Every race in that doomed
littlo liody of Koldiers was pale, but
their courage never faltered.
On came the foremost wolves. They
reaehr l the iV 'i r,sa--. and a tnml
ung mass of shaggy forms struggled
fiercely as, with horrible cries and yells,
they fought for a piece of flesh. Teeth
gnashed and furious fights took place
between the discoverers of tho feast
Then thoy scented the other prey and
rushed for tho encampment. Crack! j
;rackl crack! and eighty carbines sent 1
their dread warning tearing through
tho ranks of that wolf army. The fore
most fell and the charge was chocked
for an instant. Tho extra guns poured
aut their lead, but tho fury of
tho wolves seemed to increase. Ilefore
the gallant band of soldiers could
reload hundreds of wolves were among
them, and a terrific struggle began.
Rayonet crashed through Bhaggy breast,
gleaming bruto teeth tore at human
throats, snarls ad howls, yelps and
cries, groans and moans who can de
scribe tho horrors of that awful struggle!
Tho snow was soaked with tho mingled
blood of man and beast. Rack to back
men fought as never men fought bo
forc hunting tho savage, leaping
beasts dwn to tho ground with deadly
thrust of stelL Numbers fell, but num
bers sticl pressed on in overwhelming
foroo.
Tho little troop of soldiers fought on
till bat a score remained to defy thoso
crit'.-l teeth fought oa till but ten still
faced tho foe fought on as long as 11 va
could raise a hand fought on till the
last man sank beneath thoso tearing
fangs conquered but not subdued.
Rut tho wolves did not proSt by their
victory.
The fleeing Cossack band met a regi
ment of Russian lancers and told their
tail, and the wbolo force went to the
rescue. Too late to save a man, they
reached the scene of thestrugglein time
to drive the victorious brutes from their
prey. Threo hundred wolves lay dead
in and around tho encampment, show
ing how fierce had been tho defense,
and with military honors tho Russians
buried the bodies of their brave enemies
the last of tho Sixteenth Chasseurs.

THE HUNTER'S
RUSE.
How the Slayer of "Itlc Den
Got II U
l'rize Conveyed Home.
Years ago, near a place called Enter
prise, on a point jutting into Lake Mon
roe, during all bright days a certain big
alligator used to lie basking in the sun.
Ho was well known to tho whole neigh
borhood. Tho entire cotorio of sport
men at the only hotel used to call him
"Rig Ren," and proud hunters would
talk, and even dream, of tho time when
a well-aimed riflo-siiot would end his
long career. Rut Rig Ren was as cun
ning as a serpent, and whenever any
one, afoot or afltpat, came unpleasantly
near he would slide off into the water
which meant "good-bye" for tho rest of
tho day.
One fino morning one of the60 sports
men paddling up tho lako, luckily with
his riflo in his canoo, caruo upon Rig
lien so sound aslcop that ho stole up
within range and put a bullet
through the alligator's brain. What
to do next was a problem. He
could not tow tho monster all tho way
to Enterpriso with his small canoe.
A bright idea struck him. Ho put bis
visiting card in tho beast's mouth, and
paddled swiftly back. A number of
hunters wero at tho wharf, and the
slayer of Rig Ron hastened to Inform
them, with apparent sincerity, that
while out paddling ho bad come within
easy range of the '"gator," who was, no
doubt, still lying raotionloss on the
point A flotilla of boats and canoes.
Manned by an army with rifles, instantly
started for the point. To avoid confu
sion, it was unanimously agrcod that
all should go down together, and that
the entire party, if they were lucky
enough to find Rig Ren still there,
should fire a volley at the word cf com
mand. As they approached the point, tho
hearts of all beat quickly; and when,
with straining eyes, they saw Rig Ren
apparently asleep and motionless upon
the bank, even the coolest could scarcely
control his feelings. The boats were
silently drawn up within easy shot, and
tho word was given. Ranjl bang! went
a score of rifles, and Rig Ren, riddled
with bullets, lay motionloss upon the
point! With a cheer of triumph the ex
cited sportsmen leaped ashore, and fast
ening a ropo around the dead alligator
speedily towed him to Enterprise
There the original slayer awaited them
upon tho wharf. When Rig Ren was
laid upon the shore, opening tho ani
mal's mighty jaws ho disclosed his visit
ing card, and thanked them ntost po
litely for their kindness in bringing his
'gator liotuo for him. Clarence R.

SHOES FOR
WOMEN.
Hapten t Kemsirks I'tterod by

"Why on earth," said a New" Yorker tho
other day after an hour's walk on Broad
way, to a Shoe and Leather Review cor
respondent, "do women who haven't got
pretty feet, and who know thoy haven't
got pretty feet, if they know any thing
at ail about themselves, wear just the
footgear that puts their feet at their
very worst? A woman with big, shape
less feet or crooked feet can afford to
wear but ono kind of boot a laced
one and never a low shoe under any
circumstances. A button booo does all
very well for the first few days whilo it
still buttons trim and snug about. tho
ankles, but every woman knows that it
does thl3 for a few days only; then it
loosens and begins to take on tho shape
of the foot, exaggerating its peculiari
ties every day just a little. And by and
hy, before the boot is half worn out, it
is a kind of caricature of her foot, with
every defect and imperfection exagger-
ateu. i no lacea boot aoesn t do this,

There is wonderful well down near :
Del Korte, says tho Tike's TPeatc Herald.
It is an artesian well witn an abundant
flow of purr water sufficient to irrigate
a considerable amount of land. That
would l.-o enough for any ono but a San
Luis man. Rut this is mineral water.
It Is. rtfervescent, very pala tab lo 'aud.
extremely healthful. Nor is this all;
the force of. tho water brings up from
: the depths an occasional lump of native'
silver or a gold nugget. Tho frugal
farmer has placed a sack of wire netting
over the mouth of tho well to catch tho
tiu tal and prevent it from choking the
cows. Local scientists claim that at a
great deptu and undor enormous pres
Mure the water is washing away, a
ledgo of rock, whose softer parts go into
solution and give the water its 'mineral
qualities, but whose gold and silver, not
being dissolved, are brought to the sur
face in a metallic state.
FARM-HOUSS. 'NZATH THE HILL.
Ol the farm-house 'neath tho hill, I can see It

When every tranjf was new and beautiful to

And where the brooklet flows, a barefoot urchin

A BALANCED ACCOUNT.
The Thief
a
Bill V7.13 Sottlod with
Neat Cneck.
The fpllowing veritable case of klep
tomania camo under my observation a
few years since, the principal actor in
which was the wife of a re.sr-ectai.lc cit
izen, who resided in a fashionable
quarter of ono of our Atlantic cities,
says an ex-attorney in he New York
Weekly.
A shrewd and thrifty young client of
minj, who kept a fino establishmt nt
upoff ono of the principal dry-goods
thoroughfares . of the town, retailed
laces and similar ladies' furnishing ma
terials, and had a well-selected stock,
which attractod a continual run of good
ly customers.
From time to time he missed trifling
articles from the counters, but could
not account for their mysterious disap
pearance. lie directed his book -keeper to open a
fictitious account in his ledger, to which
ho gave tho title of "Thief's Accoun '
:o the debit side of which wsre charged
ill articles tfeat wero missel and
hich woro Invariably tiolrn by some
jerson or persons who visited the store.
So the "ThicTs Account" was regular
y kept up for nearly a y.ar, and a very
;onsiderablo number of items found
;heir way to tho debtor side of it, the
Aggregate value of which had reached
upwards of two hundred dollars, at the
;loso of the first twelve months of my
client's business.
Rut, as yet, no clew had been had to
tho actual cause of this unprofitable leak,
and for a long time dospito tho most
careful watching of strangers the ac
count remained open, and increasing,
upon the young merchant's books.
One day thero entered the 3 tore a
well-dressed, lady-liko person, whom
the btore-keeper knew by name, for the
had been there before who bought
some trifling articles and whilo
waiting for the parcel to be made up,
the merchant who stoed a short dis
tance from her observed a small but
valuable lace collar slipped from the
counter, where there were several paper
boxes of goods open; and though he
was greatly astonished and could
scarcely credit it, yet ho was satisfied
that this lady had drawn that collar in
to her capacious muff! i -
It had disappeared, at all events. It
might bavo been accidental it oas so.
be at. first bolievad; for surely, that
nicely-attired lady, whom he knew
moved in good society, and who was
supplied generously with pin-money by
her highly respected and liberal hus
band could fiat bo a thief.
At night, he said to tho clerk at the
desk: '-Chargo'Thiers Account' with one
lace collar ten dollars;" for it had f ont,
and this was always tho rule in such
cases. -. -
And threo days subsequently, having
thought the matter over, quietly, and
called to mind some cases of so called
ileptomania, of which bo had road and
heard, h concluded that this must be
an instance akin to that disease, which
certain persons are afflicted wi'th, and
Which Webster defines to bo a morbid
and irresistible impulse or desire to
SteaL" -'J$.V ;TT''-';- r
Rut my client was himself an indus
trious, honest young man. who was not
overburdened with capital; and he could
ill afford to thus lose his goods, or per
mit thU style of genteel robbery to go
on unchecked. So he said to his book
keeper: .
. "Mr. QuilL draw oil the Thiers Ac
count," and givo me a fair copy of it."
"What part, sir?"
"Tho whole."
When tho clerk handed it to him, he
asked:
"How much does It figure up?y '
. ' "Rising two hundred dollars, sir.?
"Is the' last item charged tho lace
collar?" -
" Yes, jtixi ton dollars. "
j. "All right . I. am , going up-town,
QuilL If any ona calls for me, person
ally, say I shall be back in an hour."
.- - And, putting -on his hat and overcoat,
he disappeared. : - --.
My client had never called at tho
house, to which he was now destined,
but he bad a slight acquaintance with
'the gentloman who resided there.' ' ''
- Mounting s tho ' stono steps, he rang
'gently,' and wa3' admitted.' V ' -
. "Ii Mr,t at home?" jV. .'.
. ''Yes, sir," eaid tho servant, showine
tho merchant at onco into- the parlor,
where, after. shaking bands with the'
gentleman of tie house, ho was just
about to open up his business with him,
when he heard a light footfall, and im
mediately his wife entered the apart
ment, to accompany her husband down
to dinner where she was evidently as
tonished to meet the dry-goods dealer,
who as quickly observed that the lady
he remembered had upon her neck his
missing ten-dollar lace collar! . It
w 'My wife, -"sir,"' said tho' gentleman,
presenting her to my client, who 6aid:
"Yes, sir I have met the lady bo
fore.' Thcnto her ho added: "How do
you like your new collar, madam?''
The. what, sir?" she replied, coolly.
"Your new lace collar, madam. It is
very becoming, certainly."
'This7" she said.
t'Yes, madam."
- "Oh, it'a not very new, though."
: "No? It is not a new pattern, but it
is very pretty. I have a few moro like

"I think not, sir!
"I am sure of it, madam. It wus
taken away and without being paid for,

"What do you mean, eir?" said the
lady, heightening a little In color, and
growing not a littlo indignant at my
client's coolness and seeming effrontery.
"Just what I have said, m .daiu. That
lace collar on your neck was taken from
my counter on the day and hour you
wero in my r.tore, on Tuesday last. I
repeat that it has not been paid for; and
it is not tho first article I have misbeJ,
in a similar way, in tho past year. 1
know of what I speak. I can prove in a
court of justice what I have now al
leged here. And I have brought my
bill here for settlement," concluded
the merchant, handing the "Thief's Ac
count," that ljiil hid prepared, to her
astounded husband.
"This seems tome to bo a most extra
judicial proceeding, bir," began the hus
band. "What are all these items
here?"
"Your lady, possibly, can explain
them. sir. I can't."
"Rut what how when," muttered
the man, confusedly.
"I can't answer that, sir," continued
my client, noticing tho sudden disap
pearance of thu lady from the unpleas
ant scene. "All 1 know i:s that theso
articles have mysteriously disappeared
from time to time fror.i my counters,
and that I have found the- taief who
stole the ten-dollar lace collar; who was
seen to take- it by c;ys-lf and another
from my store. This p.;rty must pay
ray bill, her", or I si ill immediately
take leal treasures to collect all I can
of this amount."
"Rut this bill amounts to two hun
dred and eight dollars, sir."
"Does it? I did not notice tho sum
total precisely," said tho merchant, in
differently looking it over. "Yes,
you're correct, sir; it ii two hundred
and eight."
"You don't want me to pay that is.
you don't expect me to pay for other
people's "
"Do you know tLeso 'other people'
you speak of, sir?-
"No. Rut"
"Neither do L I do cot know one of
the offenders. Will you give me your
check, sir, for this bill? It is your mis
fortune to havo 6uch a wife; but I can
not suffer for it"
"You don't pretend that ono person
took all these goods, do you?"
"I pretend nothing; only I have sim
ply endeavored to state the matter as
clearly and politely as the circum
stances of tho case will warrant. You
do not care to have any publicity given
to this affair, and I am quite willing to
avoid it, I assure you. Now, sir, will
you accommodate mo with your check?
And I will receipt the bill," concluded
my client, rising. a," " ""' '
"How much did you say?"
"Two hundred and eight dollars."
The man went to his desk, wrote hur
iedly for a moment, and said:
"Here it is. Let this bo tho last of it,
ir." .
"With all my heart," eaid my client.
HJood-day, sir."
The lace merchant returned to his
.tore wiihin tiio hour.
"Has ; ny one called to see me, Mr.
Quill?" ho asked.
"No, sir." J
Then handing him tho check, he
laid, pleasantly:
"Here, Quill; take this, and balance
tho TLicfa Account.' Is tho amount
correct?'' ..-'-.?.'.-'
"Exactly, sir to a deljmr."
"All right. Wo shall niet bo troubled
with one of onr old customers any more,
I think." ........

ladder wis forth-vitb closed, satisfac

How th New t-yst-in
Would Work.
From an article in tne Octo!or nun)-bc-rof
the Statesman, by El. 1-. l'ritch
ard, tho followincr, c p. bodying its
salient features, is ;aken. Ttio writer
says: There are fe w lav.s on the statuto
books ef any State in the L'r.ion to-day
that are in harmony with the spirit of
the age in which we live, which have
been put there without a t'.Tht I mean
it has cost much lime and labor, and
long, bitter di-cussic n, and they wero
met with the most determined opposi
tion before tl ey finally became a vital
part of tho b gal codo of a common
wealth; especially is this truo of thoso
laws which rocognizo the property rights
of women, and which place them on
something like an equal footing with
men in our courts. So, I assert that
progress in law making, that is, in
framing wise and beneficent laws suited
to tho needs of our present civilization,
has been slow an 1 tedious. And farther,
that in almost every instance a propeisi
tion to r'-form a bad, unjust ftutute-, or
to make a new one- not in conformity to
principles lail down ii iho old common
Jaw books, has come from tho-;o outido
of the legal profe.-sion ; while, as a rule-,
tho most uncompromising and bigoted
opposition to such measures has eot-.io
from those within that profession, an I,
not unfrequ' ntly. from thoso highest in
it, thoso wearing tho judici-1 ermine.
In framing a penal statuto tho most
essential part of it is its penal feature,
that is, tho punishment which it in
flicts. It matters not so much tLo pro
cedure, the exact form of trial, whether
by judgo, jury or associate b- nc'i, but
tho per.ally is all iinjxjrtant. It might
be well to say too that to-day the rights
cf a person chnrgc-d with a fi loriy, so
far as a fair and impartial ho'iting, the
right of challenge, tho adini-f.ion of
testimony, etc., aro vve-11 guarded. This
is eminently rlgbtaiid just- It Is not
with this working of criminal law that
wo are finding fault. Nor is it with
the modes of punishment now in vogue,
save that of tho death penalty; but in
tho fact that penalties as now inflicted
by criminal procedure In our court fall
short of the ends of complete justice.
Of course 1 understand that any viola
tiem of a ponal codo is taken as an of-fe-nso
ajraiiint tho State ruthor than
against tho individual wronged. Rdtl
do insist that complete justice should
tako into consideration the citLx-n who
is wronged by tho law brcuke-r and
should therefore include in tho punish
ment inflicted reMitutim to tho former.
A thie f enters my house and carries
away, we will say, property to tho
value' of ono thousand dollars. A low
days later ho is apprehended. In tho
meant..' in e ho has e ffectually disj-rocd of
tho stolen goods. I r.m put to Uk
trouble, and usually some personal ex
pense, of prosecuting him. no is found
guilty and sent to Slate's priaon for
fivo years. I havo the satisfaction of
knowing that this particular thief or
burglar is not likely to trouble me
again soon, but doe-s that J, restore to rao
my lost property? - ...r
Rut supposo tho Stato put this
offender to work, hiring t.im out as
convicts aro now lc-t, but at a prioe
that will pay tho State for Lis keeping
and a small .surplus for each day he
wtrks; when this suia amounts to tho
valao of tho gex3s ho has stolen,
then let th Stato reimburse me for my
loss and givo tho convict his liberty.
This would be coviplotc justice "a
punishment that fits tho crirrie" and
gives fu.il rtiiutic-n to tho wronged
parry.
Wero such a system as this in vogue
there would l.o but lew crises of com
pounding a felony. To-day, as is well
known, one of the r.;ost s rvn obsta
cles, at times, in the way of puaishing
a. criminal, and e -peciaily incases of
arson, theft and embezzlement, is the
willingness of tho injured parties to
orego a prosocutioa in order to secure
tho return of a part or all of the stolen
or lot property; in other words to ob
tain what the Jaw now fails to give-,
restitution.
This system, too, would hold good in
crimes of all classes from that cf a
petty lr.rceny to murder. What be-tu r
or more fitting punishment for him
who takes human life than that he
should bo compelled to labor lbe re
mainder of his days, and his earnings
be applied towards the support of thoso
who may have been left dependent em
the Ono ho has murdered. Any com -nion
wealth can furnish its convicts
with employ ui nt on this basis. If not
on public works, such a canals,
bridges and buildings then by hiring
thoiuout, as is now done, only for a
little more money.
Another cdvantage fit this would bo
to raise tho price ef convict laber, and
consequently to advance tho tirico of
the products of penitentiary labor,
which are now produced so cheaply as
to force Lonvst laborers to work in
many instances for almost starvation
wages. All over . the land to-dav.
honest men. who aro industrious, law
abiding citizens, are crying out against
this, to them, ruinous competition ol
convictlabor. : ;
A Lirgo boot and shoo manufacturer
contracts u ith the great Stato of Illinois
for iao hundred convicts at eighty
seven and one-half cents per day per
man, puts : his machinery' into the
prison and se ts them to work, lie has
ul-o a factory in Chicago where h- em
ploys, rcrhai:. two hundred men. boys
SAO
un.l girls. Ho forces tben into com-petlt'u-n
with his prison-paid labor nnd
co-npebi thm to accept wages that will
barely ki-ep soul and body together,
in.-.! all boem:s ho is able to hiro con
vict labor ,sj much cheaper than lie can
g' t honest workmen. The reader will
perhaps aereo with mo that tho man who
wants to be he-nest and respectable,
who d-sir.-s to live a free an 1 upright
life, crui tit compete w ith the man who
does not, and who by violating tho
laws of tho land becotnes a convict and
a slave of the State. The latter pays no
rent, pnys no board, has no clothes to
1 it, lias no position in society to sus
tain, and, above all. has not the dUpo
tition of his own time, nor any tiling
to say concerning tho wage- he Khali re
ceive for his lalor; while the former
has till these, except the last, and here
in eilect, the State, which ought to pro
tect and cneotirago honest industry,
step in to reduce the honest mechanic
to practically the same level with th
;onv:ct Rut tho Ke-stitution System
weiuld do away with this.
Another point in its favor: It would
tend to discourage the commission of
th ! class of crimes. L'nder our present
svsietn a man steals say ten thousand
dollars; ho is sen, to the penitentiary
for six years, which would be consid
ered a pretty severe sentence. Ho
serves his time and comes out nearly
ten thousand dollars ahead; supposing
of courss ho has save-d his money, or
rather somu other man's money. Le-t
us, on tho other hand, suppose that ho
knew that a theft of tea thousand dol
lars would mean, if ho wero caught and
punished, a sentence at hard labor for
life, at fifty c-nts a day, that money all
to go towards re-inihur.sing those he has
robb"d. Would he not hesitat .- to incur
such a 'ate? This system would. I be
lieve, almost completely nlxdish x-tty
thieving; would nio.st effectively sti;l
tho aiuhitiotis of a largo class ef our
criminals, such as house-breakers, foot
pads, till-tappers and sneak-thieves. A,
theft of one hundred dollars would
mean to tbe-iu, porhaps, a year's hard
lalor, at tho end of which time they
would have been compelled to make full
restitution.
In cases where the stolen property
has been recovered thu same system
could still bo employe 1, the convict's
earning g.ing to the (state instead of to
the injured party.
