A CRIME AND ITS LESSON.
It is a sickening story that comes from Burke county, N.
C. A prominent citizen of the community, a county offic
ial, while under the influence of whiskey, cut his wife’s throat
and killed her.
He was a good citizen when sober, vve are told, and lov
ing husband. But whiskey made him a maniac and drove
his wife into a premature grave.
He was filled with remorse when he got sober, of course,
and the remorse will abide with him every minute for the re
mainder of his days.
He may be brought to trial and convicted and given the
supreme punishment for the crime which he committed
while i:: his crazed condition, but this will not atone for the
crime; and the ends of justice will not be met until the man
who made the whiskey and the man who sold it are con
victed and given the full penalty of the law..
There is no doubt about it. The men who make and i ell
whiskey in violation of the law should be required to suffer
the same penalty as those who commit crimes while under
the influence of whiskey.
This horrible affair in North Carolina will make good peo
ple [everywhere more deteimined than ever to stamp out,
root and branch, whiskey making and whiskey selling.
If we will do these things, there will be no need to worry
about whiskey drinking.—Selected.
The following is taken from an essay of Dr. Frank Crane
on the suject “Dad”—one that is very dear to our heart.
And the way he handles it shows that he “understands.’’
Diar Dad; I am writirrg this to you though you haVe been
dead for thirty years.
From your seat in the Place Beyond I hope you can see
these lines. I feel that I must say some things to you, things
I didn’t <now when I was a boy in your house, and things I
was too stupid to say.
It’s only now r , after passing through the long, hard school
of years, enly now, when my own hair is gray, that I under
stand how you telt.
I must have been a bitter trial to you. I was such an ass,
I believed my own petty wisdom, and I know now ridiculous
it was, compared to that calm, lipe, wholesome wisdom of
yours.
Most of all I want to confess my worse sin against you. It
was tne feeling I had that you “did not understand.’’
When I look back over it now, 1 know that you did under
stand. You understood me betterthan I did myself. Your
wisdom flowed around mine like the ocean around an island.
And how patient you were witli me. llow full of long
suffering and kindness.
And how pathetic, it now comes home to me, were your
efforts to get next to me, to win my confidence, to be my pal !
I wouldn’t let you, I couldn’t. What was it held me a
loof? I don’t know. But it is tragic—that wall that rises
between a boy and his father, and their frantic attempts to
see through it and climb over it;
Children should be influenced unconsciously ; they should
be suriounded by an atmosphere of goodness which they
should breathe as unconsciously as they breathe the aii. Ex
ample is betterthan precept. To successfully influence your
children for good, you must do as you would have them do.
If you would have them polite, be polite to them. Teach
them to be considerate for others by showing that you have
consideration for everybody. Children are very imitative,
and these imitative attributes may be turned to good uses by
presenting to them qualities worthy of imitation.
Kentucky Feudist Given Life Sentence
