The InsidiOuS Foe

Is the one most feared. He who strikes
unseen and without warning.
It's the same with disease. A pain
full acute malady, one we have become
conversant with, by noting its effect on
others, has no great terrors. We know
after an interval of more or less dis
comfort the trouble will have "run it's
course" Nature will repair the damage,
and we will be ourselves again.
It's Natures inability to throw off
poisons collected in the system, that
causes sicknesses that have fatal ter
limitations.
It's when we feel, without apparent
cause, tired, Respondent, experience
sleeplessness, loss of appetite, and dull
pains in various parts of the body;
notice our faces are blotched, sallow,
or covered with pimples,-it's then we
realize
aThat of all good gifts, ever hath been health
Counted the first, and loss of it to be
The hardest thing to bear ~
Don't delay after Natures warnings;
take her own remedy

AS best we can learn il seems as if

into u quarrel during the afternoon
over a game of craps and Mullen got a
shot gun to protect himself.
At the time Of the shooting Mullen
was standing at the Midland corner
talking to the porter when Hatch who
was working mt The Grand Central

lie inquired of Mullen why he had
been looking for him with a gun when
Mullen replied that he had nothing
against him that he had not been look

mon sense idea Of Heaven and hell.''
In The childhood days of the world
belief in heaven and hell as distinct
lOoalatias, WAS an easy matter. The
earth was thought to be Cat, station
airy. Heaven was physical world
just above the clouds. AscensiOns
were very common. All that was
necessary was fair of strong wings
Angels assembled and decendsd when.
ever necess Ty. Below the earth's
surface was hell the home of the
damned. The good people went above,
the bad went below. This was not
poetry but peoples idea of geography
and architecture. They knew no
better. What they didn't know, they
believed. Today the world knows
better. This world is not fat or
stationary. 1t is one of many millions
of worlds. The telescope has revealed
$4,000 worlds. Light coming from
Sirnis, though travelling at the rate of
1872 miles per second, taking sixteen
years TO reach us. in the light Of
these facts the old idea Of heaven and
hell is no longer tenable.
The hell and heaven of the theolo-
gians were barbdrou5. Listen to one
of them: "All the devils in he'll will
be with the bowling and raving,
screaching and yelling in such a hide
Ous manner that thNn will bs - 'Hv
wits ends and b. ready tOrun stark !
again from anguish and torment
Here thou must lie and fry and scOrch
and burn for eVermOre."
Here is 10 Edwards idea of heaven:
I" The saint in glory will be far more
sensible, how dreadful the wrath of God
IL, and we will better understand how
terrible the sufferings Of the damned
are, yet this will be no occasion Of
grief to them, but rejoicing" Such
conception of heaven and hell is tit
only for savage.
Each man makes his own heaven,
his own hell. The mind is its own
psace and in itself can make a heaven
of hell, hell of heaven" Heaven and
hell stand for good and evil Heaven
is obedience to the laws Of life; hell is
disobedience. Heaven Is doing right,
hell is doing wrong One is heart
full of love; the other a heart full of
hate. The mean, stingY, unkind, man
is hell on two legs. Heaven stands for
all that is true and good and beautiful.
The sinful man is In hell here or any
where. The good man lives in heaven.
The kingdom of heaven and hell is
within us. Think of hell as ignorance,
superstition, and darkness: as the
primeVal barbarism, up out of which
the race is slowly climbing. Heaven
is the promised land OF peace and
goodwill towards which the whole
creation has been working for ages.
If we desire heaven we must seek it
here, if we love heaven we must love
it now" Every home should be a
heaven. God is lOYe. Where love is
there heaven is also. Try and make
some one happy. Bring flowers to the
living as we'll as the dead Help make
the world wise, happier, better. In
doing this you escape hell and win
heaven.

THE EAST AND WEST.

To he honest. sober, and industrious
is to succeed in the business world
that is, in the Eastern business world
In the West it is different, or, at least, it
has been so until Ghe last few years OF
panic and ruin. Failure in the East
has naeant destruction and despair to
the unhappy one. The creditors and
friends" of the victim, with merclleSs
zeal and ferocity, have pulled and tug
qed at what was left of, perhaps,
princely fortune and large business, un-
til there was not dollar left in sight
for the destitute family.
In the West how different! Exten-
sion of credit, renewed notes, additional
mortgages, and, of different degrees,
friends with money and loans, and
rough. but kind words of sympathy that
are honest and true, and offers OF as
sistance in two or three languages.
ANYTHING, in short, to bolster the totter-
ing one and restore his credit. The
man might be sober or not, certainly he
was as honest as his neighbor, and, as
to his industry-why, he simply had to
be rustler, or he must have sunk
beneath the strong current and whlrl
that marked everyday life. Now, why
is this?
Is Friendship" an empty sound in
civilization and in cultured circles! Is
it because men Gin the rough" are
drawn nearer by the instinct of self,
preservation, and the hope that q good
action will meet like return? Or Is it
: a pure, spontaneous growth, Indigenous
to a new country? HOFE,

fore. 1t is not needful to picture fur
ther his experiences. If, however, as
he stands at the prison door, free man,
and with the real purpose and desire,
which it cannot be questioned that
many have, to be man again. he can
be met by man, as man, treated as
man and with kindly looks and
words, encouraged and helped to make
start in the world again. to retrieve,
so far as possible, the past and make
future. The possibilities are that it
NAV make all the difference for that
man, his family and the community,
for the future of his life.
If he can be made to feel that he has
one friend; if he can be put upon his
feet, as it were, employed steadied,
protected, strengthened, until he is
able to stand alone, no man who is
man can do otherwise than rejoice on
his behalf.
The subject might be further pur-
sued, but this must suffice for the pres
ent.
i The prisoner needs friend before,
when and after he comes out.
Probably the number of those that
can be helped by such little attentions
as friendly visitor knows how to be-
stow is far greater than many suppose.
1t should not be forgotten that in
numerous cases, perhaps majority OF
: cases. the prisoners wife and children
are liable to suffer even more OF want,
, distress and shame than he.
Shall not we as individuals and as an
association do what we can, and by
: such influences as can be brought to
bear, endeavOr to cause such legislation
Q that our state. as state, may be among
o the foremost in wise provision for the
prevention of crime and for the restO-
: ration to manhood and citizenship of
a those who have violated our laws?
1 In giving the resume of the objects
and purposes of, and the reason for,
prison reform, L have stated nothing
) new, but have simply followed out the
h line of discussion and remark, and have
O quoted freely from the expressed views
of men of acknowledged authority in
all these matters.
5 The subject merits careful cOnsidera-
II ton and effective action on the score OF
e humanity and christianity, but even
- setting these motives aside the appeal
:, to us on the score of political economy
w. alone is such that no intelligent cltlzer
II can ignore it; for prison reform means
1T the saving to the state of large
~ amount of money incident to crlmina
- prosecutions and lmprisOnments, an(
y the saving of men to intelligent anf
useful citizenship.
ne The subject involves, in its broades
70 sense, the great question to which. a
- vet, no philosopher of earth has beel
49, able. to give definite answer: What

CONCERNING PRISON
REFORM.
What 1t Is and What 1t Is Not.
How the Reform Is to Be Brought
About and the Advantages to BE
Realized to The State.

IA paper read before the Nebraska Prison
Reform Association by T. H. Leavitt.l
The Nebraska prison reform assocla-
ton was organized in 1893.
It's objects as stated in its constitution
are. for substance, as follows:
First-To enlighten the epublic opinion
concerning the prevention of crime and
the treatment of criminals.
Second-To secure the Improvement
of penal legislation and prison man
agement.
Third-To protect society from habit
ual criminals.
Fourth To befriend the innocent
and ignorant when under accusation.
Fifth-To encourage and promotethe
welfare of those placed on probation or
parole. and also of the families of
prisoners.
Sixth-TO stimulate, encourage and
aid prisoners, SO disposed, in the work
of selfreform.
Seventh To aid released prisoners in
living honorably and to return to the
duties and privileges Of citizenship.
The necessity for such an organlza-
tion has long been apparent to those
who are familiar with facts pertaining
to crime. criminals and prisoners in this
state. but it is presumed that very few
are familiar with the facts relating tC
crime, criminals, prisoners and kindred
subjects in our state, and it Is for the
purpose of obtaining and disseminating
information which shall enlist the inter
est of the citizens of the state and IN
cite to needed action that this assOci
alton has been formed.
So long as the state makes no pro
vision whatever for discharged prison
ers, but on their release leaves them en-
tirely and without encouragement
y restraint to the temptations and uncel
tainties of cold world, it remains fo
individual or organized effort, both o
the score of humanity to these and fe
the protection of society from these,
see that their necessities are provide
for and that they are at least helped
help themselves when so disposed.
Many have an aim or purpose to b
come, or be good citizens; some WI
make no effort to be, while others, al
no inconsiderable proportion, al
probably much larger proportion tn;
most of our people have any idea
sincerely wish to live honest and rep
table lives.
The acknowledged inequalities Al
incongruities of our present laws
lating to crime and criminals requi
intelligent consideration and care1
amendment.
