one exception in the world was written by
its author while in prison cell. If Bun

The editorial work, setting type and making up
forms alone are done here. the press work being
done at the saltwater Democrat Office. The edi-
tor told us that they now print an edition of 1000
copies weekly. The paper is credit to editor
and type setter well the pressman, and the
work of conducting it is not only useful and valu-
able in Itself but gives pleasant, interesting and
cOngenial employment to men who are doomed to
life sentences for shorter terms. They are
therefore prevented as far be. from dis
tracing their mind in useless rep ming, and are
kept in better condition mentally and physically
than would be the if put at other work not as
suitable to the r talents and experience.

Life's highways and byways are filled
with hypocritical pre- lenders, religious and
political. The Almighty Dollar is the mag
net which turns honest conviction into a
pretended belief and causes multitudes to
bow heads and bend knees in the utterance
of prayer which is pure formality. void
of all earnestness and not even backed by a
christian life. Despite the preaching and
the praying against it some men make hy-
pocrisy pay. There is a certain amount to
be won by pretension and so long as men
can make pretentions one day in seven there
will be six days feast for hypocrisy's
sake.-Cameron (Mo.) Vindicator.

Visitors should bear in mind that a very
large majority of the inmates have at least
a remnant of character, and at the expira-
ton of their terms of servitude will enter the
peaceful, honorable walks of life. We are
not seeking notoriety. but would have the
fact of our Imprisonment sink into oblivion
that we may avoid as much of the odiuln
which attaches to all persons convicted of
crime. as possible. For this reason and
many others that we could give, among
which might be mentioned our respect for
our relatives and friends. we request that
our names be not mentioned in connection
with the prison, especially in print. We
have no doubt this is often done thought
lessly, with no thought of doing us injury,
but this does not change the effect of free
advertisng."

the same perfect appearance of cleanliness. Pro-
ceeding further nd into the cell portion of the
prison found the same tidy appearance of
things The ground floor here is composed of fiat
stones, which were scrubbed until they shene We
were surprised to see many of the cells now un-
occupied by the prisoners, who were in the shops
at their daily toll, handsomely and tastefulIy
furnished, with carpet on floor lively and cheer

bear close inspection, and a perfect system of

without, so far could detect, the slightest
friction. The men spoke of their treatment by
the warden and guards with cheerful satisfaction
OBJECTS OF INTEREST
Among the objects of interest are the library,

complete from the iron in pigs sheets and bars

thereto, is at all made out as charged. Out OF
