Max Adeler, who writes for Phil

Sinner, who deserves pity. lie was
going up to Reading the other day,
and when he reached the depot, he
happened TO lock into the ladies'
room. A woman sat there with a
lot of baggage and three children,
aad when she saw Sinner she rushed
at him, and before he could defend
himself, she flung her arms about his
neck, nestled her head upon his
breast, and burst into tears Sinner
was amazed, indignant, confounGed
and ere be could fnd utteranee for
bis feelings she exclaimed:
"Oh, Henry, dear Henryl We are
united at last Are you well2 Is

and smiled through her tears. So 5

with carpet-bag. He looked ex-

his wife in Sinners arms he became
excited, and Hoored Sinner with the

He called next day TO apologize.
His wife had made the mistake be-
cause Of Sinners likeness to him.
And now Sinner wishes be may soon

TIE National Prison Congress has been
in session during the last week in st.
Louis. Two important reports on prison
and prisoners seem to settle the whole
question. They show that industry lies
at the foundation of all reform-that idle
ness leads to crime, is the main cause Of
crime, and a judicious labor system with a
proper and full remuneration is the only
reliable mode to complete reformation.
In fact, a proper attention to youth might
prevent the contraction of bad habits and
consequent crime. In truth, every evil
practice, no matter how trivial it may
seem, debases more or less-interferes with
the proper ard natural workings of the
system, and in a greater or less degree the
mind; and hence is apt to prevent correct
conclusions in human judgment. The re-
ports condemn severely the contract sys-
tem"-which is usually but another name
for rings and robbery.
