Smaahed All the Glass.

Katie Burns was given quarters in the fe-
male department. but the style of the inter-
Tor failed to conform with her aesthetic i'd cas-
and she took violent umbrage just because
the bric-a- brac was of that plain and ordi-
nary quality usually found in prison cells.
She had reached that state where she had An
insatiate desire to create more trouble and
she went at It. Carefully removing her
gloves she doubled up her dlminutive fist
and begun TO make holes in tho window
glass, utterly disrcgarding the warning of
the turnkey. The more she was cautioned
TO desist the ficerces grew her rage and at
last there wss not n pane of glass left In
the place. Her hands were badly lacerat-
ed and bled c~opiously. but the sight of
blood only augmented her craze TO destroy
everything in sight and it was finally
found necessary to carry her TO the duu-
geon. AN hour in that dark quarter bad
the effect of quoting the frenzied girl and
she came out with remarkable docility.
