They Will Never txEss Again.

Two young Kansas City hearts that form

A rain storm caused it all.
He was visiting her house some time ago,
and just as they had kissed each other good
night so many times that they had to begin
all over again to count them, he suddenly
said:
My! it's raining! Lend me your ear,
please. for | must hurry home"
Without stopping To think, she imagined
that he wanted to borrow her ear for an
umbrella. and she slammed the door right
straight in his face forever and forever,
amen
She was sorry as soon as she. had done it,
for she afterward interpreted his true
meaning.
He wanted to make believe whisper to
me, and then kiss me again. What Shli do?

But he was mad. He was mad clear
through, both ways
Every day after that. as he passed the
house, she fiattened her nose against the
window pane to see if he really and truly
would come back.
He saw the nose. Yes. he saw that nose
that he had so often kissed as she lodged
him, but he was mad. and he sent her
long letter telling her that she ought to
wash her window, for somebody had thrown
piece of meat against it, and it had been
there for week.

Editor Mirror:
In a recent issue OF our little sheet,
read the following item, and | would like
to make a few remarks in relation to it:
Prank Burroughs an inmate Of the FL
mira refOrmatOry, was last week convicted
of assault in the second degree, said assault
having been made on one of the officers of
the institutions. He was given the maxi
mum sentence Of ten years in state prison,
the term OF Imprisonment to begin after ex-
plratlOn Of his maximum term in the re-
formatOry" My intention in commenting
on this item, is not to show the failure of
OF the refOrmatory to reform. but rather to
cofute those who claim that the object of
the criminal law is the reformation of the
criminal. The reformatory is supposed to
be place for reforming the criminal. and
and If this is true, and the object of the
law is the same why is this man to be sent
to the penitentary? Why not still keep
him in the reformatory and reform him?
You answer: 1T is thought that in this
case the man cannot be reformed; but the
law has another object-sOciety must be
protected" This man will have as many
opportunities to assault an officer OF the
penitentiary as he has in his present abode.
and if he is sent to prison simply to protect
society, is it not an outrage to turn him ian
unreformed mani loose upon society in ten
years? Why not keep him for life? That
is the only humane way to protect society,
from man who cannot reform. While l
admit that the protection of society is an
object of the law, it is only secondary one.
When this man is sentenced to ten years in
prison. the law virtually says. HE cannot
REFORM" and so society can be no better
protected by the change. he is sent to the
pententiary as warning to others; and
this. my friends, is the tone and primal OBJ
ject of the law; not that it should be so,
but that it is so. 1 cannot understand why
people. and especially the prisoner. give
the lawmakers more credit than is their

4 Bank Clerk's Punishment.

A new method of furnishing dishonest
bank clerks is now being tried in certain
institution of that kind in New York.

him in such position that he can take no
more, and informed his fellow clerks of the
defalcation. He is avoided by the insiders.

can well be imagined. Constantly under
the surveillance, he will work ont in time

discharged. .-Philadelph Times.

ing plan:
Let committee of three inmates who
have an extensive acquaintance among their
fellow unfOrtunateS, be appointed by the
warden to canvas the entire population and
ascertain each mans intellectual acquire
ments as nearly as possible. This can be
done during the noon hour OF in the evening,
but would require several days to do the
work thoroughly. When they are through
with this let them compare notes and clas-
sify those needing instruction most On
this basis the chaplains, warden and depu-
ties could arrange the classes and appoint
the teachers. 1t would thus be aScertained
how many classes it is necessary to have
and how much extra guard duty it is neceS
sary to provide for The library or chapel
hall would be suitable for Il recitation room.
Black boards, globes. maps. etc. could be
provided at small cost and in two weeks
the school would be a reality. Don't try to
find an excuse for putting this matter off.
