The first sentence of four years imposed upon Brown Was the Judge's estimate of the penalty society required «from him for his crime. The other five years were ‘© added vecause Brown falled to receive the verdict in y Tespectful silence, So Brown goes to prison for nine «years instead of four for no other reason than that he - lost his temper and didn’t hold his tongue. But how about Judge Aspinall? Didn't he, too, lose his temper 2, and let his perturbod feelings get the better of his calm and dispassionate judgment? " As has been said, the Judge may be entirely within be ale powers in heaping up this punishment on impudent *°Burglar Brown, but it certainly doesn’t look like Justice yowith @ big J. be AN OFFICE BOY'S RISE. et Alfred It, Smith at thirty-nine is general manager of “the New York Central, salary not stated, but assumed » to be around the $25,000 mark.

The youngest of five children; but the necessity was on all to earn a living, and he .-tarried messages in Cleveland for officers of the Lake Shore. He toni the first obtainable job, with no thought for his future, and quit it readily to join a gang of la- borers on railroad extension work for $1.50 per day. » Strong and capable, he soon became head of a gang and this success fixed him os a railroad man. re In the railroad university there is extraordinary op- » portunity for brains. Few promotions are by favor. «+ Even tho wealthy directors’ sons must prove themselves _ More capable if they would pass the sons of the section does in the race for placc. Smith rose by virtue of ex- ceptiona! ability. He has worked in every department. Like H. H.

Must we resign ourselves to the loss of the America’s Cup? Will Sir Thomas Lipton be able to capture the © blooming. bottomless mug? Consider the chances, Shamrock IIL. ts faster than Shamrock I. and Reliance +, 4s faster than Constitution and Columbia, but the mar- gin of superiority the new Shamrock has cyer Its pre- decessor is greater, This is Sir Thomas's third trial for i the cup, and you know the superstition of third trials. Shamreck brought over a wreath of real Shamrock, andl you know the superstition of this symbol. Sir Thomas » is known as “the lucky.” Everything he has under- ~ tnken, his friends s1y, he has accomplished, And now ~ consider the last straw: Thecdore, the Incky, has prom- » 4sed to sail with Sir Thomas on the Erin to witness the first race between the Rellance and Shamrock Ill. It the American yacht can withstand this assemblage of omens and influences she will be more than a reliance— she will be a bul THE STUFFED LETTER-BOX. Many a flat-dweller missed his “‘L’ express train this morning because of the time wasted in fumbling for tho **letter-box key, the opening of the tiny glass door and the extracting of—nct a letter, not even a bill, but on+ Or more unstamped advertisements, In the dimly lighted vestibule a patch of white behind the family * letter-box catches the eye. The box is opened, and some busy man, alreaciy late for the office, learns from the contents that Mme. Patte-en-air will give dancing les- g@ons at 38 cents per; that a fine grade of coffee {s on gale three blocks beyond, or that manicure and mandolin instruction will be lavished at astonishingly low rates. The box ie often filled to the exclusion of regular Mail; the householder wastes invective, and—the prac- ~+tice increases daily. Although the name and address of the offender are on each circular no step, apparently, \ has been taken to check this growing nulsance. One or ‘two formal complaints would doubtless do much toward setting metters straight.

The catcher returned the ball to the pitcher, who eyed fe sterply, rubbed it in the dirt, wiped {t on his uniform, rateed it aloft, swung iis arm two or three thmes, and shot the sphere again at the batter, “Wunnnghph!" anrlounced the umpire, with the same fog- horn voice. The cwsuer made a feint of throwing the ball down to second to scare a base-runner, but didn’t do It, says the Chicago Tribune. He sent It to the pitcher tnsterd, A third time the ball shot past the batter, who made a half motion as {¢ to bunt it and then apparently changed his-mind and did nothing. “Ghpgwunnghph!" bawled the umpire. ‘The man at the plate threw down his bat with an alr of Intense disgust and stalked moodily to the bench. ‘Then everybody kr.ew what had happened.

What worries us is not so much that our friends persist in looking at a thing in the wrong ight as that they should be so biamed comfortable about it. It is a poor joke that won't stand revamping every fow weeks. Some people avold facts simply because they are stubborn things. Kentucky needs schools, but not to teach the young idea how to shoot.

On the whole Cuba offers many inducements to young and ald, The great extremes of heat and cold are not known on che northern coast. As a summer resort, any one of the principal cities ‘on the north coast offers many attractions. ‘The climate {s salubrious, and the heat seldom reaches a higher point than 90 degrees Fahrenheit In the houses, and this is always tempered by cooling breezes, says the Spring- field Republican, Those whose occupation compels them to $o out in the sunlight during the hours of midday must, of course, be subject to greater degrees of heat. In the rainy season the rain falls in showers; rainy days are not com- mon. The winters in Cuba are unsurpassed. The ordinary tomperature Is between 65 and 7 degrees Fehrenhelt. Some- times {t fails below 65 degrees; then the Cuban muffles up his throat and puts on his overcoat, !f he Js the happy possessor of such an article of clothing, and rubs his hands to keep them warm. On some occasions the mercury has fallen to 50 degrees, then the poor people suffer with the cold until the midday sun makes them as ‘happy and forgetful of trouble as ever. Large American hotels are being projected and pleasure resotts planned which will make Havana a most popular winter resort. On the south coast the climate is much warmer, but those who have become acclimated do not find {t Intolerable even in summer. With light lnen clothing for summer and Nght woollen for winter a person may pass the year In Cuba with great comfort, and not be subject to the extremes of heat and cold which are inevitable In the North. The clear evenings, in summer or winter, aro charming, and the flat roofs of the houses or the broad verandas or the cheerful parlors, with open doors and win- are places of comfort and pleasure to a naturally pleasure-loving people.
