STOKES AND HIS CAT.

some tales of legal or illegal punishment;
! some are stories of romantic or pathetic
| interest attaching to some prisoner who
| has human ties outside the walls that hold
him; occasionally they are exciting yarns
! of insurrection, fighting or attempted es-
cape All of them have an interest that does
not attach to stories of outer life.
1t is merely recital of one of the ways
in which the weary years of imprisonment
are whiled away 1t is almost impossible
to conceive of the deadly monotony of life
within the walls of cell. Even the tick
tick of a cheap watch is company for a
man who may be in solitude anywhere out
side of prison. But inside cell there is
nothing but self communion to while away
the months and years. At least that is all
there is in theory. AS matter of fact,
human ingenuity is stronger than stone
walls, and even in the closest confinement
a prisoner will inevitably show his individ-
uality in some way-often in a way to as
tonish his keepers.
One way is in keeping pets. Only few
days ago the story was told of the liberia
tion of Jaehne, the notorious Doodle alder
man. He served his term and walked out
free man, but when he left the prison he
gave to fellow convict dog which he
had kept for nearly two years. The dog
was attached to the place, which Jaehne
was not, and he had not the heart to take
the poor brute away. This fact was told
in three lines of a news dispatch and eX-
cited some little comment. Itwas thought
strange that prisoners were allowed to keep
dogs anyhow. l asked Head Keeper Con-
naughton about it, and he was very re-
luctant to talk. 1t would not have good
e. l. - - l.
the prisoners were allowed to have any
pets at all. / asked him what the effect
would be. Prisoners were prisoners, and
they could only do what they were allowed
to do. Then he told a curious story-at
least it seemed curious to me-
when man is put into cell" he said
land knows that that is to be the place
where he is to live for the next two or ten
or twenty years, he is at first stunned. 1t
takes him ang time to realize his situa-
tion. He may be ugly or he may not. He
| is shaking himself together, and that
process takes long time. Of course it
takes some men longer than 1t does Others
''Some men get accustomed to it and re-
main ugly as long as they stay. Others
seem to understand and grasp the situa-
| tion at once. But it is astonishing to notice
| how many of them after they get settled
down learn to love some kind of a pet.
There is a story, believe, about some fa-
nous prisoner who learned to love spi-
der, but never knew anybody in this place
to do that. 1t is common, though, for pris-
oners to make friends with the rats or mice
that find their way into the different cells
looking for crumbs"
But how does it happen that convict
can keep dog?" l asked.
II don't know that any of them ever
did," was the cautious reply. "Of course
the grounds around the prison are spa
cious, and it may be that in the yard or in
the grounds inside the great wall there
may be some animals-dogs or anything
else-running around, and the convicts
may succeed in making friends with them"
Los Angeles herald., 1892-11-13

"But it is said," persisted, ''that there
are prisoners or there have been, who have
kept birds and squirrels in their cells, and
have fed them the food they have brought
from the table in their hands"
''That l know nothing about" replied
the keeper, "and | cannot believe that it is
true"
1t is true, however, if the stories can be
believed that leak out as was said before.
The story of Jaehne's dog is only one of
many that have been told. Jaehne was one
of the favored prisoners. There are many
SUCH A man does not lose his individuality
entirely even in state prison, and if he has

goes in for burglary or mayhem.

ant Ellerson, of the regular army, who was
in command of body of troops during the
late Wounded Knee unpleasantness, re-

tarantula and scorpion bites, and anec-
dotes not calculated to fayorably impress
a tenderfoot with his surroundings.
The lieutenant, with several fellow Off
GERS, was quartered in deserted log
cabin, and when he dozed off beneath his
army blanket it was with thoughts OF
myriads of scorpions and tarantulas.
Suddenly he was awakened with the
knowledge that something was crawling
over his face He could feel the perspi-
ration start from his forehead, but he
dared not move. The object passed along
the blanket, when suddenly sharp pain
in the middle finger of his right hand
warned him he was bitten.
Arising he struck a liaht and found two
little spots of blood on the wounded mem
ber. His worst fears were realized. His
first impulse was to arouse the post sur
geon, but so quickly does the poison OF the
tarantuia act that before the hospital
could be reached he would be beyond hui
man aid. Then through his mind flashed
story he had read the day previous of an
Indian boy who while splitting wood was
bitten by tarantula, and without hesi-
fancy cut off the injured member.
Quickly he grasped the lighted candle
and thrust his finger into the flame, with
Spartan fortitude holding it there until
the flesh fairly cracked.
When the operation was finished his
| first thoughts were for the intruder. His
attention was attracted by a scratching
! sound near the windows, and there he
found his deadly enemy-a mouse. The
animal had crawled on his blanket for
warmth daring the NIGHT and OF G move

Jim Fisk. He served his term In Sing
Sing, and there are many who know the
regulations of the prison who speak with
wonder, even yet, about the privileges he
enjoyed. As nearly as possible he lived
the life of an idler and a man of fortune.
He had visitors at all hours and all times.
All that was denied to him was the liberty
to go away. He had a pet, which is, or
was year ago, still in the prison. 1t was
a magnificent black cat that could do
almost everything but talk. 1t slept on
the same bed with convict Stokes every
night for the last two years he was in
prison, but, though Stokes would gladly
have taken the cat with him when he went
away, the cat would not 60

to think that u squirrel could ever find its

Therefore it happened few years ago that
when a prisoner was taking the outdoor
walks that were allowed to him he saw nu-
merous squirrels playing around. 1t was

CHRISTIAN BROTHERHOOD SUNDAY.
Something About the Man Who Founded
the Brotherhood of Christian Unity.
special Corresponds

Especial correspondence.
NEWARK, n. j., Oct. 24-The widespread
notice of the observance of "Christian
Brotherhood Sunday" ON Oct. 80 makes
timely the story of visit to the man who
is the founder of the great movement of
the brotherhood of Christian Unity" Mr..
Theodore f. Seward, of East Orange, N. j..
He tells the story of its beginning-a little
over year ago:
"At union church meeting in Orange
| made the suggestion of brotherhood of
Christian unity8 which should leave un-
touched the differences of creed in denom-
nations and give broader platform of love
to God and man under the leadership of
Christ, upon which all could unite for
practical Christian work. 1t met with inn
mediate response from all classes of ear
nest people in and out of churches. The
success almost overwhelmed me; it was
more than | had expected in so short a
time. We soon had to have an office in
New York, and letters of inquiry and ap-
proval and membership pledges came
pouring in. 1t is one of the most rapid
growths ever known"
John G. Whittier, on hearing of the
movement, wrote as follows
DEAR FRIEND-For years have been desir-
Gus of a movement for uniting all Christians
with no other creed or pledge than a simple
recognition of Christ as our leader. have
read thy published articles on the subject with
hearty approval and sympathy.
Mr. Whittier joined the brotherhood, and
became a member of its advisory commit
tee only short time before his death.
The pledge reads:
l hereby agree to accept the creed promul-
gated by the Founder of Chrstianity-lo to
God and love to man-as the rule of my life
also agree to recognize as fellow Christians
and members of the Brotherhood of Christian
Unity all who accept this creed and Jesus
Christ as their leader.
join this brotherhood with the hope that
such voluntary association and fellowship
with Christians of every faith will deepen my
spiritual life and bring me into more helpful
relations with my fellow men.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-11-13

Promising to accept Jesus Christ as my
leader means that intend to study his char
acter with desire to be imbued with his
Spirit, to initiate his example and to be guided
by his precepts.
The last clause shows that the brother
hood leaves untouched the question as to
the divinity of Christ. For this reason the
movement has been called un-Christian by
some, but the matter has been presented in
important periodicals and approved by peo-
pie of many shades of belief Among those
on the advisory committee are Rev. Josiah
Strong, D. D., general secretary Evangel-
ical alliance; Rev. F. Il. Clark, president
Young Peoples Society of Christian En-
deavor; Bishop John H. Vincent, chancel-
lor of Chautauqua university; Rev. j.
H. Barrows, chairman of committee on
Worlds Parliament of Religions; Rev.
Charles T. Deems, d. D., president Ameri-
can Institute of Christian Philosophy; Rev.
Edward Everett Hale, D. D., Frances E.
Willard, Julia Ward Howe; President
Harper, of the University of Chicago; Ly-
man Abbott, D. D.; President Webster, of
Union college; Miss Grace H. Dodge, Mr..
George w. Gable, President Theodore f.
Wright, of New Church Theological school,
and many other distinguished names.
1t is in order to forward the work that
that the Christian brotherhood Sunday is
being observed. On that day as many
ministers as will do so are urged to preach
on John xvii, 81, and somewhere in the
discourse to discuss this question, Cannot
universal Christian brotherhood be found
ed or organized ON the basis of love to God
and love to man under the leadership of
Jesus Christ, leaving more definite partic-
ulars of creed to the denomination, the
church or the individual?"
| Mr.. Seward is musician by profession
| as one could tell by look at the walls OF
his cozy "den," which are hung with pic
lures of musical composers. He is both
| teacher and composer, and has been editor
| of various musical magazines. He travelled
with the original Fisk Jubilee singer;
when they made their famous English toul
some sixteen years ago, and wrote down
the music of over hundred of their songs
which had never been on paper before. Or

The most popular of light fiction writers
in this country now is Captain King. His
work commands a ready market, and he
has been so successful that he has now in
niind the writing of a novel which will be
more elaborate, more patiently and skill
fully constructed, richer in detail and in
cidents and having a more exhaustive
study of character than any of the shorter
stories which he has written.
Richard Harding Davis expects to pub
lish next summer study of London, but
will previously contribute the sketches
which will form the chapters in this book
to some of the Harper's periodicals. Mr..
Davis, while winning success as a short
story writer, has found that the pecuniarv
,....ro.s for short stories do not offer very
substantial support, and he earns far more
as a member of the staff of Harper's than
he did through his royalties on his stories,
brilliant as some of them are.

are made by some of the ablest of the
