"PRISON AND PUNISHMENT. The inspectors of our penitentiaries sent and asked to read the Rich should be article in Collier's Weekly by ard Washburn Child on Prison Life] and Prison Reform. It is made up largely of letters, that passed between a convict, the prison board, the governor, and the warden, respecting one who began life with ideas, who committed a serious offence, refused to obey present rules, and in the dungeon learned that he was fighting all his fellow convicts rather than the war- den. These men had learned ciate the treatment they received. They realized that under humane and discreet surveillance they could find themselves, that a prison, prop- erly conducted, was not a place where the State revenged iiself for the wrongs of the individual, or a place that made rather than correct- ed criminals There was a great deal about our penitentiary to which exception was taken during a recent enquiry. There were some necessary and reasonable feforms which the Commission re- tommended, The Government has not expressed itself with regard to them, The Minister of Justice has been very guarded in his reference to them. Is Parliament prepared to *ay that a prison is not to be im- proved as the commission enjoined? Sing Sing's experience may be re- ferred to. Suppose.il is, Warden Osborne ig not prepared to abandon his experiments because, for political reasons, there is a clamor them. Governor Whitman says the warden's plans must be given a fair trial, and thousands will thank him for this announcement. There is nothing of weakness in the proposal that the prisons shall be relieved of all depressing rules and practises, but the mind and body of * each convict shall. be subject to healthful exercises. The years of enforced retirement from society should not be years of idleness and waste, but years of repentance, of usefulness, of honest labor, and of restored manhood. false to appre- MUNITIONS AND MONEY.

Most of the orders are sublet to firms in the United States, while the works of the company at Fort William, which were bonused by the city to the extent of $260,000, lie idle.

John Brisbane Walker, a magazine | writer, addressed a meeting of Ger. man sympathizers in New York on Friday and led in a vicious attack upon the President. This was sup- posed to be a meeting of the "Friends ," but it was confessedly a meeting of German or German-American desired . to explode some of 'their verbal ammu- THREATENING THE "who The Herald: quotes were present with saying that the meeting was 'the most wholly trait orous atmosphere they had ever ex- perignced." Mr. Walker made many charges, to wit: That Mr. Wilson de- liberately permitted a sacrifice of a million lives; that he was unneutral in letting American industries make munitions of war for the Allies; that he did wrong in permittiig one of the treasury officials to consult with the French-British bankers in float ing a recent loan of $500,000,000; that he allowed American ship-build {ers to send submarines for the Eng- lish in. knocked-down condition via Canada; and that 20,000,000 Am-| ericans, of German descent, had been offended or insulted by him. yAt times, when Mr. Walker spoke with unusual heat, the audience ap- plauded loudly and there were cries of "Shoot the President." The Sec-| ret Service officers of the United Sta- tes have taken this matter in hand! and are seeking to learn who the in-| cendiaries are who gave expression to these threats. The President very recently visited New York by invita-| tion and addressed five hundred busi-! ness men upon the "policy -of pre-| paredness," which he now advocates. This anti-defense meeting of the Ger- mans is the answer and is one which will not be duplicated in New York.

Once upon a time a number of dolls sat in a toy shop window. There were little boys dressed in rompers and little girls in gingham dresses with sunbonnets and aprons. Now one little girl | doll sat close by the window and she | could see, and sometimes hear what the childresr said as they passed or stopped to look in the window. Some- | times. the children would laugh at the funny, pouty faces and choose which one they liked Lest. One day two little girls, sto} Jed and one of them said: 'Lets choose Anothe: "I choose the one down in this cer- ner for, although she has a pucker on her forehead, she looks as though | she would like to smile." After that this "Grumpy" doll wanted more than anything else to know. how to smile and she tried very, very hard, but all the time there was that naughty frown on her forehead. All of one day she tried to smile so hard that at night she was awfully tired and fell right over on her face where she lay the whole night long. In the morning the saleswoman came to the window and when she saw the doll she cried out: "Who has moved this doll?" Of courke she didn't know that the doll had fallen down because she got so tired trying to smile. The saleswoman picked her up and saw that her face was cracked and she was actually smil- ing. Of course with a cracked there was only one thing to mark her down to a low price. the doll was set up in the win and a tag was pinned on her which read: "Marked down to 25 cents." When the lit'le girl who had caused all the trouble weat up in the morn- ing she said to her friend: "Oh look, I can buy the doll I chose now for I have twenty-five cents that Uncle Joe gave me last might." and she went right in and soon had the smiling doll in her arm to take home. face do; So "Low Cost of Living" ea | Menu for Tuesday BREAKFAST Beef Hash Stewed Figw Currant Mafias Coffee LUNCHEON Potato Chowder Graham Bread Apple Sauce Gingerbread Cocon DINNER Roulade Hominy Cheese and Nut Salad King's Pudding BREAKFAST ; Currant Muffins--Cream one ta- blespoon of butter with two of su- gar.
