THE CONvICT'S STORY
AND OTHER POEMS By
PATRICK r. DENNEHY.

Patrick II. Dennehy, sentenced to life
Imprisonment in the Rhode Island State
Prison, and after serving q long term
pardoned out by Governor Brown, ID now
sarning An honorable living by keeping
books for Providence concern.
MIR. Denneby is an educated man OF
literary instincts, and SO IL was q natural
vent for the hours of loneliness in prison
to write verses. The best of the product
OF his pen for the II years OF his imprison-
ment is now published in q handsomely
printed little volume, which Ia sold In
Mr.. Dennehy's interest for 20 cents q
volume. THE NEWS has taken . few OF
these books. and they are on sale at THE
NEWS office.
fhe verses are most OF them OF consider
able worth and OF interest, aside from the
personality Of their author. For instance,
the poem on his release contains these
two stanzas:
walk aloag the crowded street,
niingle with the crowd;
/ bear the children's merry laugh,
see the old men bowed
With weight Of years and worldly care,
But no one do see
Whom have known in former years.
And none seem TO know me.
And this from lines entitled "what
Could Be Done II Men Were True":
Oppression. cruelty and wrong.
And every vice and human weak ness
Would have to die
II you and
Would only practice love and meekness.
And this from lines to "A Bunch Of
Roses":
The world outside these prison walls
Both JOY and beauty yields,
And flowers waste their sweet perfume
Upon thoosand fields.
But who will send one little rose
To grace prisoners cell.
Or waste a single thought on him
In solitude that dwell?
And this bit entitled "old stanord",
Years have gone By full many,
Since from old stafford strayed.
From the town loved better than any.
And the home where IN boyhood played.
Tonight. with n fanciful notion,
conjure up scenes OF the past,
That loved with a boyish devotion.
Which will live while memory shall last
There are bits of humor, too, occasion.
ally, as for instance this, being also from
True:
And politicians great and small,
Who get the office and the Doodle
Could no more mix
With politics
st. Patrick's Day and Yankee Doodle.
The ladies. then, could stump the State,
And cast their votes for Mr.. Larry;
There'd be no rum
To bribe the bum,
No VS. TO buy Tom, Dick and Harry.
Cheap politicians could not rule.
They could not buy cheap votes for money
Then Charlie Page
Could not gage
block Of votes from Colonel Honey.
There is not little writing in the book
that betrays the sentiments of a man who
has never acknowledged that he wa
guilty OF the crime for which he has been
punished. And, taken as q whole the
little work is OF human interest as well A.
meritorious.

Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-02-06
TheOdOric the Great.

Was the founder of the OstrogothiC
Monarchy, which comprised the king
doms of Italy, Sicily, Southeastern
Gaul, Rhatia, Noricum, Pannonia, and
Dalmatia. He was born A. ID. 4a5. and
died A. ID. 526. During the Emperors
reign, widow by the name of Juven-
ais made complaint of the injustice
she had received at the hands of his
judges. For three years she had failed
to get trial, which was at last grant
ed, and decided in her favor ia tso
hours. Theodore was so incensed at
the judges for the unnecessary delay,
that he ordered their execution.
The multitudes of widows and, or
phans of this mighty republic, made so
by the traffic in strong drink, have had
a suit, too, these many years before the
Assize of Heaven. From decade to de-
cade they have appealed to the sober,
intelligent men of the land to cote
dorn this hydra headed monster, and
rid the country of the most deadly foe,
which menaces alike the lives of all
our citizens and threatens the life of
the nation. If we delay this work and
fail to do our duty, the cries, groans,
and lamentations of the widows and
orphans may call down upon Us the
wrath of Almighty God.

"Lo, This Hath Touched Thy Lips"

In my childhood days have witness
ed the cruel act of putting fire on the
back of the tortoise, the only apparent
way of inducing it to move. Today as
/ read THE LEADER, / remind myself
somewhat of this little reptile. Often
while reading the columns of our w.
C. T. u. department have l felt inclin-
ed to move, or rather to speak; but
have waited for others whose pens
could, if they would, do more good
than mine possibly can. The beauti-
full appeals, the enticing persuasions
to duty, all the earnest efforts of our
