General Sherman and the Clerk,

The other evening General Sher-

New York and inquired of the room

at the same time explaining that
he had been caught out in his even.
ing suit and he feared rheumatism
and other complaints. The clerk
didn't know him, but he thought
he could well afford to take chances
on such an eminently respectable
looking gentleman, and although
the polite clerk has a rotund figure
and weighs about two hundred and
twelve he gladly offered to lOau
him his Overcoat as we'll as his sill

"But," said the general, "yOu are
lending these things to an entire
stranger, and you ought to accept
some kind of a deposit to secure
you against dishonesty"
"Oh, that's all right, colonel" re-
Piled the clerk 81 can't be de-
ceived by you. I'll trust that face

The warrior was tickled by the
compliment, and he remarked cas-
ually as he went out with his tall
guant form enveloped in the gar.
ment that fitted him like a meal

and you shall have my card when

The next day the coat and um
brella arrived, accompanied by a
note of thanks and photograph of
General William 7. Sherman, with
his autograph across its face.
"Great Scott - said the clerk, land

Ferdinand Ward has changed
more, perhaps, than any of the 9th
er prisoners who are IN what is
generally known as the "distln-

glasses he wears are the only rem
nants of his former self.
He looks healthy and his eye Is

set away at his case engrossed in
his work.
The walls of his little printing
Office he has covered with pictures
clipped from the periodicals Of the
day. Strangely enough, too, most
of these pictures represent scenes
of home and of childhood, and odd
they look.
With the crime OF Ward every
body Is familiar. Its perpetrator
is paying his debt to society az best
he can. He occupies cell fianked
on either side by the common
thieves; wakes up with the rest OF
the prisoners at G:l5 every morn
ing, has breakfast, and thea goes
of TO his work. He is back in bis
cell at 5:45 IN the evening, and
spends most of his time from that
until lights are out at 9 o'clock in
the evening reading. He has a
tondness tor works Of a scientific
nature.
He has few visitors, but the car
pet that protects his feet from the
cold stone floor, and the hair mat
tress on which he sleeps, tell OF
the thoughtfulness of some who re-
NAMED faithful to him after his
downfall.
These Injuries are permitted
prisoners when supplied them by
friends. Ward has never been
known to speak to fellow convict,
except to answer a message sent
through one from the officials of
the prison. He seemed pleased
when tue chief keeper compliment
ed him on some work he had done,
bat merely bowed his acknowl'
edgement.
Wards sentence dates from Oct
81, 1885, and in the natural course
of events, would not expire until
1895, but he has regularly earned
his communication for good conduct
aud should his high standing con-
tinue, he will have only two aud a
