But it is a reproach to our judicial system that the insanity defense in murder cases has been frequently and grossly abused.

Seems that there «o now a couple of expert yachters en the waters this summer who are having a lot of fun and doing much navigating. They\ have successfully rode out several storms, have S. 0. S.'s for gas, and have had a merry time in the shade of the evenings. - Well, one of them, don't know exactly which one, but per-' haps it is just as well, was on one of those little cruises the other day and made a call at the port of Brockville, that de- lightful Island City up the river where the Pirates live and ' where new uniforms are the talk of the town just now. The Ogdeiisbnrg yachter pulled into port, and of course went ^ through the necessary formalities at the port of call, or words to that effect, and after throwing anchor and sittin* about for a time, decided to move on to other waters. The ^ anchor was pulled, or whatever it is they do to an anchor, and all was ready to shove off. Well sir, to make a long story short, and all that stuff, the yachtster went on deck to attend s to the shoving off process, and . . . here's the laugh ... he slipped on the deck, and plunged headlong over, board much to his consternation and yachting pride. He splashed around , in the cool waters, and succeeded in kicking off his. shoes and when he found that the ship's ladder was not out, had to swim for the shore which he made with the greatest of ease to the , applause of the passengers. Course Joe Rasback is what ya call an old seaman when it comes to yachting, so it want Joe what took the dive, but Joe * heard about it somehow, and it is understood that he has offer- ed yachting advice to the man who took the plunge, and there may be a school of of yachting set up here before long to keep - the captain on the ship and sea legs working under their own power when traveling the deck and preparing to leave a friend- ly port. Just shows to go ya, that it ain't so quiet around the - water front as it might be, and every once in a while the \man who covers the water front\ comes in with some of the darnest yarns ya ever could imagine, and think he imagines most of them at that. Well, that's the story for today, and thought would make mention of it while Scharlie was busy up the street clipping and clipping and making remarks about stories so old that gotta whiskers on 'em, but if ya noticed folks, and course ya did, Scharlie had to fill up the chain sheet one day last week with yarns so old in point of news that they were almost his- toric. Wow and Oh Hum! What's the score, Scharlie?
