Today we passed peacefully and IN
eventually into Pennsylvania. For two
weeks we have been devastating the
great state of Ohio. Yesterday we came
to 8ellaire by means Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. The Baltimore and
Ohio railroad is not a favorite with us

buyers of the mine had gone away, and
though it was three years ago they have
not yet returned.
II started out for Dwight then, sup
pose. l did not quite know where l was
going, but on the way struck Leaven-
worth, branch institution, and stopped
there. Everybody deserted me. My
father-in-law, to whom | wrote for a
little help, wrote me a savage letter
about my fetching up in Drunkards'
home, etc, removed my pelt, as it were,
and then anointed me with Tabasco
sauce.
Everybody forgot me but my wife!
She sold the COW and came on to en-
courage me at Leavenworth. You think,
perhaps, it's all easy after you get to the
institute. A little jab in the arm, few
teaspoonfuls of medicine and bath and
you are well. Do not believe it. For
weeks and weeks would jump out of
my skin if man dropped shingle nail
on the sidewalk fifty feet away. You
can't give man new nerves in three
weeks when he has been ten years de-
stroying them. But you can quell that
insanity for a few weeks and in that
time get the best of it, if you really want
to be human being instead of sorrow
full joke on humanity and feeble
minded horror to your friends.
MY wife stuck by me. Hurrahed for
me even when sat and cried and almost
gave up the fight; read to me and patted
me on the back and gave me good things
to eat instead of telling me what worm
| was. She talked about everything else
except my lost and undone condition.
Even when she prayed for me she did
not come down to the footlights and
hold the center of the stage while she
did it. She did it on the sly, and drew
me into game of high fire between
whites to sort of take my attention off
my misery.
I'VE are happy now. When tell her
will be home on the o'clock train she
knows will. She is the happiest wom-
an l ever saw in my life. She has a few
small wrinkles around her eyes where
the tears have sort of left their marks,
but know who put EN- there, and God
helping me there shall be no more of
them"

the hospital. whereas he now dies sober.
We stopped the other night at house
where the landlady had three husbands
all living quietly and joyfully in the
same house with her. We saw them all.

Punished the Boys.

AT one period in the history of the
University of Kansas secret society
broke into being The boys composing it
wore badge consisting of the letters "T
c., at least two inches long, wrought ont
of new tin. No one could guess what the
object of the society might be, until it be
came evident that turkeys were mysteri-
ously disappearing from various localities.
Thus the matter ran ON until, in an un-
lucky hour, the boys raided the poultry
yard of Judge Nelson Stephens. Now,
the judge was not man to be triaed with;
he soon detected the rogues asl resolved
forthwith to punish them in his own pecu-
liar way
Without mentioning the discovery out
side his own family, he politely invited all
the at. C.s" to supper. They were de-
lighted with the invitation and accepted it
forthwith. The judge received them most
cordially, and kept them in roar with
funny stories until supper was announced.
Still shaking with laughter, the guests
were shown into the dining room and as
signed their places.
On the plate of each ''T. c." was a
huge turkey The judge begged his
guests to help themselves, and went on
with his funny stories as if he were ac-
customed to serve his guests with whole
turkeys every day in the year.
The boys were in torture, they could
neither eat nor listen. The judge, how
ever, too polite to notice their embarrass-
ment, simply urged them to eat, and kept
on with his stories. Thus did he 'roasts
the boys as thoroughly as they had ever
roasted his turkeys.
That very night the disconsolate Cur
key Catcher" disbanded. and their badges
were seen no more.
