THK LEX TALOMs
This Is the Lex Talonis
Decreed by Him on high;
That he who smites—shall be smit
ten,
That he who slays—shall die:
That a limb for a limb shall be
given,
That an eye shall pay for an eye.
This is the Lex Talonis,
This is the ancient law:
To which is the law of the Persian,
And the Median plo' and straw;
And the guilty are sorely troubled.
And the innocent stani in awe.
Harken, ye tribes and nations.
This is the law of the breed:
That he who strikes shall be strick
That he who wounds, shall bleed;
Let not my words be wasted.
But him that hears give heed.
This is the Lex Talonis,
The rigid, the primal law:
The source whence those who have
suffered,
Their inspiration draw.
And measure the retribution,
While the wrong is red and raw.
Creedists and Priests may wrangle.
And scoffists doubt or disdain;
But the truth itself has discovered,
Over and over again;
The scoffer is kin to the slayer,
And the slayer is heir to Cain.
This Is the law of Talonis,
Long as the tides shall flow;
Will word for word b« given.
And blow respond to blow;
For iron sharpeneth iron,
As it did in the Ions; ago.
Grimly it fronts the creature,
Written, in red it stands;
Linking the past and the present.
With strange invisible strands;
And wis§ is he who heeds it,
And fully understands.
Churches and sta£° may wrangle,
Laymen and priests dispute;
But deep in the heart of the crea
ture.
The sense of right has root;
And wrong in its proper season,
Will bear itsfinal fruit.
This is the Lex Talonis,
Hear it who will and may;
It was traced at the world's begin
ning.
Unaltered it stands today;
For the curse, like the crime is
cruel,
And blood for bl*od must pay.

STOWAWAY—GETA WAY
One man managed to stow away
at the very last minute on the
Victoria in quite a spectacular man
ner on that vessels last" voyage
out from Nome. When the last
barge was clearing away he jump
ed on the Jacob's ladder, where he
remained unnoticed until the scow
had moved off from the ship and
the steamer was under .way. The
man was ordered off, but as
there was no placa to get off, un
less among the fishes of the deep,
they were compelled to take him
On board while the barge and the
tug had by that time departed.
