FOB SAXM BY FUN FROM A PRISON. -*f-\ f t A Convict Editor Who Baa Ability nl la Open Tor an Outside £ncagemeat. Some of the prisoners of the state penitentiary at Joliet edit and publish a monthly paper called Up To Diite. The January number contains the fol­ lowing account of a difference between the deputy warden and the prison or­ chestra. It may be necessary to esplain that Ispen is an abbreviation of Illinois state penitentiary: 1. Concerning the tribe" of Ispen, which dwelt in the valley ot the Dcs Plaines rivev. 2. ^nd tbe tribe of Ispeo numbered 1,600 souls, and they were in bondage. S. There was then no king In Ispen. A deputy ruled over the land. 4. And Josephus, the deputy, was a kindly man. albeit he was a mighty man--a man of great stature and valor. 5. And it came to pass that Josephus, the deputy, singled out the musical members of the tribe of Ispen and com- manded them to appear before him, as was the custom in those days. 6. And he gave unto each atTinstru- ment, every one after the kind he de­ sired. ?. And he said tmto them, "This day shall ye have a new name." 8. And he called them the "Orr-Kess- Trail," which is the mighty men of noise. 9. And the Orr-Kess-Trah was favor­ ed above the rest of the tribe of Ispen. 10. And i t came to pass that the Orr- Kess-Trah became grasping and proud beyond warrant. 11. And they took counsel among themselves as to how they should dis­ tinguish themselves from the common tan. 12. And it came to pass that they re- solved that they were Samsons, and their strength was in the hair of their heads. IS. And it oame to pass that each one did get his hair cut, eaoh one after his own fashion. 14' Now, Josephus, the deputy, albeit he was a kindly man, remarked the style which the Orr-Kess-Trah took unto themselves, each one after his own kind. 15. And he issued a proclamation fofr- birlrting the Orr-Kess-Trah from this pompadour stylo, which was only worn as a mark of high degree in the tribe of Ispen. 16. Now, when the Orr-Kess-Trah heard this edict, they took counsel among themselves. 17. And it came to pass that they made for themselves a banner on which was inscribed, "No Pompadour Hair Cuts--N9 Music." r8. Now, the rest of the acts of the Orr-Kess-Trah, and all that they did, and the hair that they lost, an# the privileges thai they no longer get, are they not written in the book of the "Chronicles of the Deputy?"

Don't worry the guard with tales about any one else. He has his own troubles.

The French police have put a stop to a fraud which is so clever that the swin­ dler almost deserved the harvest of francs which he has been 6teadily reap­ ing. The man has been making the round of fairs and other gatherings sell­ ing a rat powder which was perfectly harmless, but struck rats dead ou the spot. Jn order to convince any skeptical man he first powdered a slice of bread with the stuff and ate a piece himself and then put the remainder under a glass case in which was a rat. The rat ate the bread and instantly fell dead. At 10 cents a box the powder went like hot cakes. The police looked into the matter and found that the powder was nothing but sugar. They also found that the glass caso was connected with a powerful electric battery, and the mo­ ment the rat touched the bread the cur­ rent was turned on, thus killing the ro- dnet The man was sentenced to 15 days in jail.--Paris Dispatch.

Maftllai Proof That It Will Unlock tfc* Gate to English Society. It is now pretty generally understood both in England and America that a golcl ?n key will unlock any gate in the society of this country. Perhaps the 'most striking demonstration yet made was given last week by some one who responded to an advertisement offering to introduce a lady into the "smartest society in London" at terms of £1,000 a year. An answer to this card was made in behalf of a supposed American young lady whose parents desired to se­ cure for her a court presentation, eto. The writer said: "Though not averse to these ambitious prospects, she does not enter into them with the zeal neces­ sary to their accomplishment. She is fully aware of the disadvantages catssed by her defective education and lack of knowledge of the usages of that society of which it is desired she should become a member. It is to overcome this that a chaperon is needed. This lady must be of irreproachable character, high birth and capable of introducing the debutante into the sooiety of the English upper classes as an equal, for the young lady referred to is high spirited. * 'Considered from the American point of view of feminine beauty, she is very pretty. I feel it my duty to inform yon that there is one fearful drawback-- that is, illegitimacy. Of course this is known only to a few, and there is no reason on earth why the fact should be circulated." In reply to this came » letter from a lady of title whose aame is known throughout the world and of the highest social position ontside of actual royalty. Furthermore, it was ascertained that there was no doubt of the genuineness of her offer. This, among other things, she wi-ote to a perfect stranger: "First of all , I prefer an American. Lady Randolph Churchill is a friend of mine, but I am very fond of Americans. Either I will not undertake it at all, or your friend will go to oourt and be in the smartest society. I know yon will not think me vulgar if I say that we are in the best society. For instance, the Duke of Cambridge dined with us last night. My husband holds a high official position in London. Nothing but want of means prevents my being ft leader in society more 01 less. "But first I must see the yonng lady and form my own opinions, and, second­ ly, I confess that the drawback of birth would make me more exacting about money, as more would have to be done to overcome this difficulty than other­ wise. The fact of illegitimate birth would not affect my power of introduc­ ing her into the best society, but there are a hundred things to be considered, and to receive a large sum would not induce me 'to undertake anything I could not carry out. I shall be at home from 3 to 5:30 p. m. tomorrow if yon would make it convenient to call." Not having received a reply to this letter, the lady wrqte again, saying that her correspondent must decide quickly, jas two other ladies wished her --London Cor. New York Sunf FEARS OF RADICALISM; The Hagnatea of l<ondon Stirred Hp Ova* the Coming County Council Election. The elections for the London connty council, the body which governs the whole of this vast metropolis except the tiny area known as tbe oity, will take place in March, and it is now evident (that they will be fought on strictly po­ litical linea Tbe magnates who own the greater part of the land upon which London stands, including men like Lord Salisbury, the Duke of Bedford and the Duke of Westminster, are so frightened by the increasingly radioal, not to say socialistic, character of the present council that their purse strings, usually kept tightly tied indeed, have been unloosed, and they are prepared to spend $500,000 to help the Tories ob­ tain a majority. Several noblemen even consider the emergency so great that they are willing to sacrifice themselves to the extent of becoming candidates and sitting in the council with quite common people, even with their own tradesmen, if they oan find constituencies to elect them. T^e music hall people have also thrown in their lot with the Tories, and One of them, Mr. George Edwardes, manager of the Empire, has sacrificed his feelings like the noble sufferers just referred to and is contesting the division against Mr. McDougal, one of the leaders of the so caUed purity crusade.--London, Let- Cold Weather Chlekena. A Louisville (Ky.) man who says he never drinks tells of a farmer who has produced a breed of fur bearing chick­ ens, which sport in ice water and cackle briskly in the midst of almost eternal snow. This was accomplished by skin grafting a selected cock and hen with rabbit skin half an inch at a time. The process was painful, but succeeded ad­ mirably. Eggs of the new breed sell rapidly at $1.75 a dozen and are hatch­ ed out by the ordinary hens, who in­ variably die of fright upon peroeiving the strange appearance of their .off­ spring. ' A lively Houae. During the heavy rain and hail storm which prevailed here at midnight Sun­ day night a two story farmhouse three miles east of town was blown 90 feet from its foundation. The building, hav­ ing made two complete revolutions, landed on its side intact. The family, consisting of Mont Mattnx, his wife and three children, were in bed at the time of the accident, and all escaped in­ jury except Mrs. Mattux, whose arm was dislocated.--Breckenridge (Ma) Dispatch. . - White Houae Silver.
