Arkansas publishes a card, in which he
says that he counts his own sufferings
as nothing, but he feels keenly the dam
age that has been done Arkansas by
the defeat of the Populist ticket.
This is almost as funny as the case of
the Yale College student, who broke
through the ice one day last winter,
where the water was only four feet
deep. When he was hauled out and
laid on the ice, he family whispered:
"Boys, don't care for myself, but I'm
engaged Tammany Times.
Most of the men who come to the
Pen have no record left on the outside
that can be useful to them. With rep
utation gone, what have they with
which to make a fresh start after their
term of Imprisonment is over? A
good reputation is capital and one of
the most difficult tasks in life is attempt
ing start without it herculean
task. But man can start afresh on
the highway of freedom with a prison
reputation. Make good one here and
you will have capital for start, for
such areputation is not only better than
none, but it is a valuable one, wiping
out the past with the sponge of
demonstrated repentance, proven by
a steady life during Imprisonment.

Stanley F. Dawson, II years DID, of
Columbus, O. the young man with
$2O.60 in his pocket, who was arrested
while walking along the strand at Bath
beach, and sent on Aug. IS to the Kings
county penitentiary, was promptly re-
stored to his liberty this morning by
Supreme Court Justice William j. Gay
nor on a writ of habeas corpus. JUS
tice Gaynor was very indignant at the
treatment to which Dawson had been
subjected. He declared savagely:
''There is no crime charged in these
papers. will discharge the prisoner.
Young man go home. These vagrancy
cases are getting entirely too frequent.
A man has to do something else besides
wander around to be vagrant. He
can tramp all the way from here to
California and not be a vagrant. A
man has a right to walk on any beach
in the United States without cent in
his pocket. Minneapolis Penny Press.
Were there no dust. If there were no
dust, we would have no blue sky, no
clouds, rain, snow or beautiful sunsets.
Dust furnishes the groundwork for all
of these. The smallest particles of
dust reflect blue light, hence the distant
sky, where the lightest atoms float, ap-
pears blue. The smoke from the burn
ing end of cigar is of blush color;
that drawn through and blown from
the mouth is white, because the parti-
Giles are larger and can reflect more
white light. The sky in cities appears
gray Or whitish because there are larger
particles of dust in the atmosphere.
But the most important office of dust
is that of rain-producer. AS the
particles float about they gather moist
ure, which is precipitated in rain. 1t
is said that "of all the water evaporated
by the sun from the surface of the sea
and land, not one drop returns that has
not condensed upon particle of dust
as a nucleus" But for dust the air
would enter our dwellings, saturate our
garments and trickle over our walls
and furniture Therefore, while we
may be greatly annoyed by dust, we
should be much more Inconvenience
by the absence of 1.-THE Home ournal.
Our wife is learning the art preser-
vative and we are having more fun
than box of monkeys. She knows
all about the business learned
more about the business in two weeks
than we found out in ten years. She
don't see why they do things in this
way, and knows it would be better to
do things some other way than that
pursued by every printer since Adam
was born. Poor girl, she'll know more
and not be SO smart either, after we
have shown her the type-vermin, had
her dig down in the hell-box about a
foot looking for ltalic periods, and
made a few trips around the corner
looking for three cornered chase, etc.
When we speak of illegitimate type,
she is Mortified, and declares that she
believes every word she has heard
about printers being tough, is true.
Ask her for the coins and she wants to
know if you mean those two nickels
she had to ask for six times last sum-
mer. Calls the leads tins, and the
galleys plates, and she can't tell the
shooting stick from a cork screw.
When we speak of making up form
she is mad as blazes, and wants to
