How the Daath-Like pallor Grows upon
Closely Confined Oonviots.

Among the recent tenants of the dock
at the Central Station, says tlH Phita-
delphia Times. have been several cul-
prits who to the glance of the detectives
were ex-coIivicts from prisons outside
of Pennsylvania The countenances of
these men bore an unmistakable waxen
pallor. An old detective, who was
standing by when stalwart, resolute
visaged man was arraigned for an at
tempted safe robbery, said: Its easy
to see-that he's not been out of prison
long and that he's an outsider. They
don't turn out any bieached-out speci
mems like him from our Penitentiary.
That whiteness is what is called the
prison bleach. >
Pursuing this line of investigation, a
visitor called on one of the officers of
the Eastern Penitentiary. In response
to the question: ''Do you take any
special measures for removing this
bleach, which seems to be a mark of
Identification stamping the ex-convict?'
the officer answered: t.Well not par
ticularly. A few weeks before mans
time expires we begin to allow him out
door exercise. In fact he has YARD
outside of his cell in which he can walk
ut any time. But, as | was saying, just
before his time is out he has his recess,
as YOU NAV call it, extended. This is
what is called the hardening process.
He takes daily walks in the yard, and if
he is an old stager who has been here
before, when he takes this daily jaunt
and the sun is shining he will be seen
with his face held upward, exposed to
the glare of the rays, SO that he will in
the end be quite tanned before we are
ready to spring the door open and give
him his liberty again. Now, this is just
one of the little things that shows the
humanitarian side of the Eastern Peni-
tentiary, and in which it differs from
some other penal institutions. Men,
when they enter here, are not subjected
to being cropped, deprived of their
whiskers or arrayed in the plaid-suits
of the felon, nor are they beaten with
the paddle, put into sweat boxes or
shower baths. hung up by the thumbs.
or put through other cruel punishment
when they are refractory The dark
cells went years ago. and none of the
other punisIaments ever had a foothold.
Bread and water rations and solitary
confinement without work are the sew
crest penalties here. When You see
blanehed fellow you may set him down
rs coming from some New York or
down East prison. where they have big
factories inside tae prison, and where
the men never see the sun from the
time they enter until they leave.

| ooh, girls, I've got the cutest idea!'
exclaimed the president of the blue
/ eyed Niolets, by way of calling the
meeting to order. Several of the girls
stopped talking and the president re-
| sumed:
! ..Yoa know the Baby Mines have
j got up an archery CLUB, the Mite Soei-
| ety. are giving those silly mum socials
and the Lilies are trying to organize a
/ bicycle club did you ever hear any
thing So ridiculous in your lifep Now. |

for us TO get up gun club. >
| BY this time all the girls We're inter
ested listeners.
Il think it would be horrid,' inter
! posed the society kicker. Il never shot
off a oHn in my life
Here the afaney girl whispered to the
president that the speaker ''shot off her
mouth good deal, and was only mad
because a gun could kick harder than
she could
Most Of the girls favored the idea on
account of its novelty, and upon put
ting it to vote the president declared
that ii was unanimously determined to
form gun club, whereupon the oppo-
sition put on their things and went home.
The next thing in order was the Sc
lection of an appropriate name. One
girl wanted it called 1.-The Pansy Gun
Club, another thought the Maiden
hair Fern Gunners" would be nicer
Here the grammatical member took
exception to the last name suggested,
calling attention to the fact that gunner
was masculine and offering as substi-
tute The Maiden-hair Fern Gunner
ess.
The president said she had given the
matter good deal of thought and she
favored some name that looked as if
they meant business, and that her broth
er agreed with her and told her 1.-The
Hit the Centers," or 'sThe Target Sac
rifices' would be a good name.
1t was finally decided, however, the
club should be known as the 'Blue-eyed
Violets' Gun Corps. >
''Do we have those pretty little silver
guns, that we can carry in our hand
bags?n asked one of the girls.
''Of course not. Besides, them amt
guns; they're pistols. =

said the president.
why conldn't we use toy pistols?'
said one timid girl
''Or we might throw torpedoes at the
target, remarked the president sarcas-
tically.
Maybe you think toy-pistols amt
dangerous, Miss SmartyP guess | had
a cousin killed by shooting one, and he
only fired nineteen thousand caps, too,

Then the toy-pistel and revolver ad-
gocates left, and there remained only
che president and the slangy girl.
Said the latter. Il never saw such
gang of chumps in my life.

responded the president, and then, med
ltatiyely, ''do you know Eye got a good

And that was the wind-tp OF the
