Frank Howard who was sentenced to the pcn
Tertiary for one year by Judge Leland some time
ago before receiving his sentence, told his llonora
very pitiful story: how he was born of poor but
dishonest parents, and had sweet sister sojourn-
ing among and depending upon the tender mer-
cies of the Canucks; how he had been working
among the innocent grangcrs down in Egypt for
a long time, his only migrations being "from the
blue bed to the brown" how when work was
slack he had come north on foot, painfully
free from 'sheklcs" or any of the spoils of the
Egyptians; and how he had stopped at farm
house out south to get "bit of something TO
eat" and finding no one Mt home, had taken a few
handkerchief and other little things to satisfy
the cravings of tramp's stomach, and had been
caught at this first and only theft how be had
been always the good boy in the Sunday school
books who got clicked on general princi.

a bold bad man, only poor starving lad of %
summers seeking work but finding none. And
the tender hearted Judge took pity on him giving
him one year, the least the law allowed Before
he got to Joliet he used to regale the boys in the
ail with stories Of the big dinners the fellows got
in the PEN on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and
New Years Days, and some of the boys were GER

Joliet and passed through the wicket, the keeper

Ibeforcthat he had left there only last February.
