We laid it up carefully on shelf in
our cell and were having heaps of great
expectations Of the glorious feast we
would have the next Sunday afternoon,
but there's many Slip etc. Some
one slipped into our cell and slipped the
apple out and SO we slipped up on our
Sunday supper That is as far as the
big red apple part of it was concerned.
We overheard one lady remark to
prisoner that they the ladies' did not
belong to the legislature but that their
husbands did. The convict CALAMITY
replied, ''you ladies then are the better
half of the Legislature" which caused
another lady to remark, I'VE probably
have more sympathy for you boys than
the men have" One lady was so much
surprised to see some of the prisoners
using their forks in eating that she ex-
claimed aloud, "Why. some of them
actually eat with their fOrks'-which
remark falling upon the ears of the St.
Paul Globe reporter he greedily grasped
the idea and in due time it appeared in
cold print in that paper. Our inquisi-
tive visitor got pretty lengthy string
of questions in on one of the boys, who
in parting told his interrogation to come
around Oftener and he would be sur
pr1Sed to see how much resemblance
there was between cOnvictS and outside
people. Whether intended as bit of
sarcasm Or not this remark struck us as
being rather pat. and Judging by the
alacrity with which the questioner
headed for the front gate we think the
shot must have been effective. Such
remarks as: "They are not bad look
ing lot of men they seem contented"
that man must be going out soon;
see, he is raising beard" ETC., were
common, and began to have an irrita-
ting effect on some of the more nervous
organizations. And when the last of
the sightseers had departed one of the
boys, who had been busy holding a
H0rper's M0gazine close to his face
apparently reading, let the book fall
and with deep sigh exclaimed, eff a
fellow drew half as well on the outside
as he does when in prison he could
make good thing by exhibiting him

Business Crimes.

The crimes of business men were be-
gun centuries ago, and were one of the
causes of the ruin of Israel. Their
scales and measures were deceitful. and
gained, therefore, their wealth by de-
frauding their fellow-men. The same
can be said of the business men of to-
day. They sell adulterated food. give
short weights and measures, use marks
and brands to deceive. 1t is through
this practice that men in trade become
wealthy in few years. No one can de-
ny that these crimes are not practiced.
1t is almost impossible, for instance, to
get pint Of pure milk in a city, and
even the coal man will cheat the pur-
chaser out of buShel in delivery. But
to say that all business men are rOgues,
would be too sweeping statement;
there are so many honest men in trade
that it attracts no COMMENT For in
stance. don't suppose there ever was
time in the history of the world when
so much business was done on credit as
at the present day. Confidence goes
farther to-day in the support of business
than ever before. Credit is the great
factor in modern business and without
confidence credit could not exist. 1t is
not right to Judge all business men by
the large number that are dishonest.
The dishonest business man is not
business man, he is swindler
he accumulates sudden riches by fraud.
This is no test of success: for he who
overreaches will in the end be over
reached. The only successful business
men are those who practice integrity.
Honesty is the best policy. after all.

De Lesseps May Not Go to Prison

Persons who short time ago were camOring
for the punishment of Count Ferdinand de Les
Seps and the others who were implicated in the
Panama swindles have changed their minds.
Many think that the disgrace of conviction is
punishment enough and that the guilty men
should not be sent to prison. Great pity is ex-
pressed for Ferdinand de Lesseps, who is nearly
So years old. 1t is certain that he would never
survive to serve out the sentence imposed upon
him. Opinion is substantially unanimous that
the judgment passed upon Count de Lesseps
went beyond the requirements of justice and
persons who lost their savings in the Panama
scheme are ready to take part in a movement for
the pardon of the aged engineer. Charles de
Lesseps and Henri Cottu have announced that
they will appeal their cases. The Paris news
papers are practically unanimous in saying that
the sentences are severe and that pardOns should
be given. M. Drumont writes to La Libre Pa
role" the extremist organ, which was largely
instrumental in making a prosecution of the
Panama directors inevitable, that in the face of
the severe sentences there is only room for one
feeling namely, pity.-Neno York Herald

AS Others See US,

To the man who has lived five, ten or
fifteen years in prison. there is some
thing ridiculOusly funny in the remarks
which he hears occasional visitors make.
The same may be said of the articles
published in the newspapers by special
reporters, whose sojourn within these
walls equals about one-hundredth part
OF the time which they spend in writing
up their articles for publication.
During the recent visit of the Mime
sofa legislature to this prison, the writer
was sojourning for day in the hospital
on account of a Job-lot of boils, and as
a natural consequence was feeling
pretty touchy" land didn't have very
ready smile for everyone who showed

and wherefores of "the thusness' of

mark, you have very comfortable

aloud when very sympathetic lady
asked him if he would like to eat an

nice, large red one in most beWitching
manner. We took the apple very much

discussion of American influence in Hawaii and

Across the Sahara.

If the United States could cross our
span Asia with a line of rails why cannot
France cross the Sahara desert with
railroad? Possibly it can. A beginning
has been made in that mammoth under
taking. But the difficulties are inca1cul-
able. AS soon as those that are now
known shall be overcome, others will
arise. Consider for an instant the enor-
nous obstacles to making a railroad
1900 miles long through territory with
out wood for ties, without water without
everything required to sustain life
Railroads have been constructed
through countries to which all the mate
rial required have had to be carried.
But there is country that does not even
supply water for the men who must do
the work. The sand storms that have
buried thousand caravans are liable to
arise and wipe out all traces of man and
his work. Yet this stupendous work is
now very seriously contemplated by the
French government. When it is under
taken the rails will be laid from oasis to
oasis, which lie like islands in the great
ocean of the desert. As it approaches
the south the trunk line may be divided,
one arm to run to Lake Tchad and the
other to strike the Niger above Timbuc-
too, from which point steamers could
descend to Senegambia. The work may
cost hundreds or even thousands of mil
lions of dol1ars.-New York Mail and
Express.

Ex-Governor Franklin J. Moses.

Hon. John B. Goodrich, a lawyer from
Boston, was on visit to Charleston not
long ago, and to reporter of the Nea0s
and Courier he gave some information
about Franklin J. Moses, the notorious
scapegrace of this State, which may
prove interesting to some of our re aders:
"Mr. Goodrich said that several years
ago he was sent for by the sheriff, who
told him he had 8 queer case, man up
for obtaining money on false pretences,
but who did not seem to be very bad
fellow afte.: all, but only man in trou.
BILE who had yielded to template His
client proved to be Franklin J. Moses.
1t was clear case, and Moses, by his ad.
vice, pleaded guilty, and Mr.. Goodrich
made an appeal to the judge tor clemency
and light sentence. But the judge did
not take Mr.. Goodrich's view of the case,
and be sent Moses to the penitentiary
for three years. When Moses had served
out his time Goodrich felt sorry for him,
paid his board for awhile and employed
him as clerk in his Office. The i'm
prisonment had proved blessing in dis
guise, for it had cured Moses of the
opium habit. He got place in Win.
throp suburb of Boston, ipgrstiated
himself with the people, and obtained
from some Of the business men of the
place money enough to start local pa
per, and is now making his living in that
way, and is highly respected by his
neighbors and fellow townsmen."
