fault. He had preached at Union

residing near Clayton had promised to
meet him here and ges him to Black

had come the farmer had not put in
an appearance, so he got gentleman

team there, but every team in the
place was engaged for funeral Occas-
ion. He then struck out for the far
mers home who had made him the
original promise, a mile or more distant,
but not a soul could be found on the
farm, and even the dogs had gone visit
lug. By the time he had gone to an
adjoining farm, with the same luck

Subduing q Convict.

The incorrigible Charles Kline, Mont.
gomery county habitual criminal, whose
time of last sentence expired few weeks
ago has been giving the Columbus prison
officials more trouble. Since the expira-
ton of bis sentence he has frequently re-
fused to work. The ducking tub usually
brought him around alright. To-day
Kline had another attack of "bucking'
fever and laid down his tools with the
ejaculation: "I'll be-ifI do any more
work." The officials thought otherwise,
and Kline was introduced, to the hum
ming bird beneath the deputy's Office. 1t
had lost its old effect, and though the
fractions convict howled in pain, each time
he was given an opportunity to go back
to work be sullenly refused. Time and
again the battery sponges were applied
to his naked body, but with no avail.
Next the hose was brought into play,
and for time Kline was nearly drowned
with cold water. "Are you willing to
workl" asked the deputy momentarily
ceasing his play With the hose. "No,"
growled Kline and the punishment was
continued. 1t began to grow serious,
and the convict would not Yield, while
the punishment was continued with in
creased severity, and it appeared that the
man would sooner die than submit. Once
during his punishment he cried out,
"Shoot me but will not work."
To allow Kline to win his point was
surrendering the principles Of prison dis
cipline and Deputy Playford was sorely
puzzled. Water and electricity bad failed
and there remained but on other means Of
breaking his will-the straight jacket.
To this Kline, half frozen and naked was
led. His manacled wrists were drawn
high above his head until his toes barely
supported the body. Then, with til.
de4trous swing of an irate parent, Deputy
Playford welded : hickory paddle. To
| the patter of that single discordant yells
broke the stiffness of the dark cellar here
the battle was won and Kline, in remem.
brance of his schoolboy days bowed be-
fore the paddle and implored heaven and
earth to spare him and he would 60 back
to work. A few more gentle, strokes a.
reminders and docile prisoner was led
back to his contract and prison discipline
had been preserved. The punishment
consumed about an hour, but 1t was com
