REVOLVER IN a FLOWER POI.


What the Warden of q Pennsylvania PEN
itentiary Found In q Present.
"Do you know" said gentleman
who is thoroughly acquainted with the
Eastern penitentiary to a Philadelphia
Telegraph man, chat there are fifty
prisoners at Cherry Hill who would COM
n'1t murder upon the slightest or even
upon no provocation whatever? Why,
the overseers daily go about the insti-
tuition with their lives in their hands.
Let me give you an illustration of the
care that has to be taken. The warden
and those about him have to be con-
stantly on the alert. About the time
of the last chrysanthemum show in this
city number of chrysanthemums were
sent out to the penitentiary to the
prisoners. There was one that was re-
markedly fine, and 1 was asked to go
upstairs to see it. While looking at it
the warden said: Let us first make an
examination Then he began remov-
ing the earth. Down, down into the
pot he proceeded, taking out the earth
until he reached the bottom. There he
discovered a small revolver. Next he
discovered box of cartridges. Now,
the sequel to this was that two men
were sentenced to the penitentiary to-
gether. One received a shorter sentence
than the other. On making an investi-
CATION with reference to the plant it
was found where it was sent from, and
then it was learned that the prisoner
who had the shorter term lived in that
neighborhood. He had sent it. 1t had
been made up by them that when the
latter got out he was to send him the
revolver"
"Well, he didn't get it," remarked the
reporter.
mo-" said the gentleman, che didn't
get it. Everything sent to prisoners has
to be first examined before being given
to them. 1t is necessary that such pre-
cautions should be taken. If after that
there are no objections the articles are
given them"
No one is better acquainted with the
institution and it's management than
the gentleman whose narration of the
incident has here been given. He stated
it was often a marvel to him how things
got along so well in the institution. He
regarded the overseers as being exposed
to more danger than the policemen.
The latter, he says, occasionally come
in contact with burglar and assassin,
but the former is obliged to be where a
large number Of such murderous char
acters are congregated.

''Clifton Galt's, Crescent Hill, had

when, remembering No 1. he rushed to
his instrument. She must be stopped
at Anchorage. He dropped helplessly
in the chair when the words came back:
No. l just pulled out

What was to be done 1 didn't know.

ing near the switch. They had left it
open.
''When NO were heard laundering

AS he reached it the runaway dashed
into the switch He turned it and we
dashed on the main track. The Wild
engine for an instant spun along on the
wheels of one side, and prayed that 1t
might turn completely oyer.
MY prayer was not answered. AS
it settled back we came abreast of it.
Bill leaped for his and hundreds of 9TH
err lives. 1t was breathless moment.
He caught with one hand to the han
die of the cab and swung for one
breathless second and then mounted
into the cab. I looked forward, and
again my hair rose on end and my heart
ceased to beat, for within a few hun
dred yards around the curve Numbered
the fast train. l reversed my engine
and waited.
"She seemed to rise in the air like a
spirited steed checked while at full
speed by the cruel curb. Struggling to
go forward, she swayed from side to
side. the wheels spinning backward,
while the momentum carried her for
ward. The fast train still came on.

was tearing herscH to pieces in a mad
effort to reach the main track but a
short distance ahead. breathed
freer as my old favorite began to move,
for the engineer of the passenger had
reversed. We still got nearer, but l
was going so rapidly and the other so
slowly when we touched that hardly a
jar was felt.
THE runaway was at a standstill a
few feet from the switch, with Bill in
a dead faint in the bottom of the cab
We got back to Louisville, and l was
taken down with brain fever, from
which recovered after long strug-
gle. So ended my last experience with

HUNGRY TYPEWRITER,
She Lunches for Ten Cents When Nobody

She Lunches for Ten Cents When Nobody
Treats Her.
Places called dairies are numerous
in New York, There is one in Nassau
street that the working girls patronize.
They are waited on by working girls,
invariably dressed, summer and winter,
in stiffly starched prints. There is
sort of reciprocity between patron and
waitress.
''I'm feeling flush to-day" says the
patron, ''guess I'll have stew"
"That's where your heads level"
says the waitress. Take clam stew.
know it's good to-day. caught the
cook putting a clam in it,
But the patron chooses instead not
unsavory connection of scraps of beef
with potatoes and onions, which costs
fifteen cents. Sometimes the girl is
rich enough to add to this wedge of
pie and that makes her check five cents
more.
There are other restaurants where
the prices are little higher. These
are patronized largely by the girls who
do typewriting. The prices range from
ten to fifty cents for the various dishes.
A piece of roast beef and a glass of
claret can be had for forty cents. The
girls who go in pairs may order a meat
pie for twenty-five cents, which answers
for two. Now and then, however, the
typewriter has very elaborate lunch
con. The men who employ typewri-
tiers are provcrbially philanthropic in
this regard. 1t must be philanthropy
which prompts them so often to take
the young women who attend to their
cOrreSDOndence to lunch with them
Then possibly she has reed birds and
white wine at the Savarin. But per-
haps it isn't philanthropy after all, for
the next day her meat pie seems, some
how, to have lost it's flavor.
The girl with a sense of humor goes
to a Park row coffee house and is
amused. She gives her order and hears
the waitress Shrek: Beef one; draw
| one in the dark" which interpreted
means, beef and beans and a cup of
black coffee; or perhaps she wants
wheat cakes and then the waitress de-
mands: "A stack of browns" Posi-
| bly, she desires eggs turned over, which
| are known at this cafe as white
wings"
While she waits for her luncheon to
be brought she reads the texts that are
displayed on the walls One young
woman, who had neither the fear of
the Lord nor of the proprietor before
her eyes, took her pencil one day and
wrote upon the wall: Take little
wine for thy stomachs sake" Let us
eat and drink and tomorrow we'll die, -
and similar texts, pertinent neither to
the place nor occasion.-N. y. World.

AN ORCHARD IDYL.

The warm sun shines down banks of Whit
clover;
The honey bee, laden. nits by on the wing;
And Jenny comes down whore the peach treet
bend over,
And Robin, gay rogue, is beginning to sing.
Blue, so blue, the skies where the soft
clouds are swimming,
And blue, yes, Us blue, are the maiden's bright
But, alasl ti.cir fair beauty with teardrops are
brimming,
While there's no hint OF rain in the azure
hued skies.
The robin trills louder his rapturous singing;
The pink blossoms drift on the breeze tina,
But Jcnny's heart throbS, and her thoughts are
a-winging,
AS she spreads the white cloths on the clover
to dry:
There is an empty nest in the apple tree hidden.
There's blackberry vine that is dead in the
sun.
1t will rain, for the clouds by the breezes are
hidden,
And the linen half dry and the washing hall
done!
Bnt the robin sang on. And the wind, idle
rover,
Stin drifted the peach blossoms down to the
grass;
For how could they know of faithless youne
lover,
And how could they read the sweet heart of
lass2
Still on moves the day. The sun, mountain
high,
Reveals IL new nest in tho old apple tree.
And the rays reach the vine that seemed dead,
and they spy
promise of hope that the summer will see
And jenny, slow tripping where blossoms bend
over,
Finds that, silly maiden, that banishcs tears
AS she puclis, with smile, the hazel-ringed
clover
That hrinseth good fortune and drives away
fears.
An Jenny. the robin, his carol still singing,
Is watchin; the scene, with bird wisdom wise,
And he notes, 1 am sure, that the wind Is
abringinT
No hint of a shower in the blue of the skies
So the peach petals drift, as the bec busy
rover,
Flies home Mt the close OF the long summer
hours,
And secs flushing Jenny agreeing her lover
Where the red robin nosts and tho white
clover flowers.
