Where are the Spoons Kept?

In asking the question in reference to
where the spoons are kept, we refer to
the spoons OF Sheriff Mackerley. Back
OF spoon handle, constructed into q
key, was Mack Penrod, 30 Madam Rumor
says. Any way Mack is not back OF the
Jail door any longer. Last week he bade
adieu to the Jail and its keeper
and is now a free man, as far as
locks and doors are concerned. The
Gazette last week was abusing this county
structure and its crowded condition. 1t
also eulogized Sheriff Mackerley for his
ability to accommodate the crowd. Now
Brother Penrod certainly deserves lit
tie credit for his part in solving the
problem Of crowded Jail. At all events
there is one less in that overfowing edi-
fee this week than there was last-bar.
ring the female Ethiopian who was sent
in for swearing and vulgarity.
We have urged the erection of new
Jail for sanitary reasons, now it may be
urged on the grounds OF security, this
leakage in the Jail is serious feature in
the case. The last group that was
spilled out cost four hundred good dol
lars to gather them up again, and one
of the escaped is still escaped. The
other two, Blair and beaverton, being
run to the earth," as the Gazette says.
We are puzzled to know how Deputy
Sheriff Roush made the capture and
others drew the reward, but Jail matters
are mysteries. Now we don't know that
it was spoon handle that Penrod used
in manufacturing key to fit the new
lock, but If it was we suggest for the
safe keeping of the prisoners, and to
avoid unnecessary drainage on the
public treasury, flor these money
reasons are the most potent rea-
sons that can be offered) that the
Sheriff use spoons without handles-for
the feeding Of prisoners, at least, and par.
ticularly for the use Of those who are
disposed to bite off the handle for future
use. We have not heard OF any reward
being offered for the return of the body
OF Penrod, nor have we heard of Penrod
returning in the body to the unhealthy
habitation. 1t Is vain to be melancholy
over the events which one cannot con-
troll. 1t was but the other day that the
City Council requested the release of
prisoner on account of sickness, but real
sickness in the prison birds who are rest
less would be viewed with more salts
faction than their absence in health.

The suggestion is being offered in
many quarters to substitute steel for
wood in the building of railroad cars. It
is claimed by some that taking the dura.
bility and safety from fire into considera.
ton it would really be a matter Of econ
omy in railroad corporations to employ
steel. Some writers advocate legislation
compelling railroad companies to EN-.
ploy steel as the material tor construc-
ton. If the first proposition be true,
there is no need for the second. But be
it true OF false, it is very evident that
too much time is spent framing laws
which receive no attention after their
passage. To legislate in reference to
heating cars by steam, and again to pre-
vent disaster by fire, that the material
used in the construction cars shall be OF
steel, does seem to be little superfluous,
to say the least OF it. We are not alone
in the belief that too many laws are on
our statute books.

How TO Read Poetry.

My adviseis, learn TO read poetry jul
diciously, richly and clearly aloud, and
then persevere in reading silently TO
yourself in the conscious way. Every
attentive person must have noticed
that there are two ways of silent read
ing. One with the eyes alone, auto
matically, rapidly, in the very back
parlOr OF the brain; the other is with
the lips Also in imagination, although
20 sound is made, with the forml-
zion of every word, and rs if on the
very frontier of vocal expression. The
second of these modes should always
be adopted in reading poetry to ones
self. Here there is no breathless in
terest in the facts narrated, no over
whelming necessity to hurry on for
information's sake. 1t must never be
overlooked that the sound, the con-
duct of the metrical effect, is no matter
OF Indifference. Even in mere rhap
sodies diverted of all real verse form,
such as the illusions of Ossian and of
Walt Whitman, there Is a right way OF
reading and a wrong. Among the great
masters Of meter we may take it Us

acteristic writing, no apparent discord
is an accident or a fault, but variation
introduced for purposes of tho most
refined art. Hence, when the young
or inexperienced reader comes upon Il
line which seems to him to be difficult
or impossible to scan, he should not
pass it by, or force it to bend itself UNI
willingly to his preconceived notions,
but take as much pains to learn the
poets intended effect as he would take
in mastering page of Greek or Latin
To find out the exact meaning OF a stub
born phrase. Let him, above all, sup
pose himself in error sooner than the

been forced to furnish refreshments
and amusements in one evening to 200
guests whom she had not invited to
her house. The same experience was
had at a reception at which she was
asked to assist. The unlimited guests
did not 0nter the parlor where the re-

direct through the hall TO the second
parlor and into the dining-room. At
another entertainment, given mad

the number OF the unlimited guests
was so great that it was finally neces-

Eyes, yes; bleeding, bleedingr replied

The nun! in truth; the nun with the

table to keep erect; then, drawn by the
madness, the vertigo, that forces one from
the brink of an abyss, threw himself for
ward, seized the knob, with the cry of a
sleeper in the agones of bad dream,
flung wide the door. His cry was echoed
from the depths of the cloister; at the same
moment he saw with a marvellous clearness
that subtle penetration of minutest details
which characterizes supreme crises, saw
exactly what he expected to seel
Upon the threshold of the door, against
that background of night, tall figure stood
erect. 1t was gowned in flowing white, and
under the bandeaux of linen, which COW
cred the hair, yawned, instead of eyes, two
cavities, deep and bloody, agitated by con-
vulsive twitchings, empty, yet darting
forth sort of somber fame through an in
terlacing of living muscles. The CHASTITY,
emaciated face shook like the TANKS of a
horse under the thrust of the spur, and
from the lips drawn back from the white,
grimacing teeth, came words, ardent,
frightful, plaintive, mcomprehensible,
mingled with supplications and cries of
fury.
This tall figure tottered forward; this ter
rifying spector seized and clasped his hands;
this incarnate nightmare dropped its head
upon his bosom. Georges Davred knew no
