piscouravement for Jail Birds.

"Jail breaks" were being discussed by
a number of gentlemen. "For the bet
ter security of prisoners charged with
the more serious offenses they have
adopted very ingenious plan in that
city of Jail Breaks Denver" said Mr..
J. W. Freeman. "The principle upon
which it is worked is this: A man is put
into one of number of iron cells, the
cells being ranged in circle. Then the
whole thing is set in motion, but the
construction renders the movement so
gentle that it is not felt by any of the
conyicts. The result is that if an at
tempt be made to cut hole at any
point, with the idea Of resuming the
work at a future time, the attempt is
frustrated, because by the regular move
ment the cell will be completely reversed
at the time The prisoner returns to it
from that which it occupied when he
temporarily left it. The motion is kept
up from morning till night. SO that es-
cape by ordinary methods is an impossi-
bility.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

If we knew the baby fingers
Pressed sszAinst the window pane,
Would be Geld and stiff tomorrow
Never trouble US again
Would the bright eyes Of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow?
Would the prints of rosy fingers
Vex US then as they do now?
All, those little, ice cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and action
Strewn along our backward track
How those little hands remind US,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns-but roses
For our reaping by and by.
