situation at Lansing has been most
alarming as the convicts have fully real
lied that the warden was remaining at
the head Of the institution in defiance of
law and they have conducted themselves
accordingly. At this time the efforts
of Chase and his assistants are wholly
directed to retaining the convicts within
the walls, and all attempts at discipline
have been abandoned. Governor NJ or
rilFs new appointees, without training or
experience and without efficient aid, are
to face a fearful condition at Lansing.
AS the head of a "business administra-
tion," the governor was expected to real
! ize the situation at the prison and to Sc
! lecr men of known ability and experience
TO take charge of that institution. He
has, however. taken an entirely different
course, and one more in harmony with
the politics now prevailing and the poll
ticians controlling him. Mr.. Lynch, the
new warden, is pleasant gentle
man. and may possess the ability
which, if unrestrained, would develop
him into tirst-class warden, but con-
trolled and handicapped as he is. moth
ing but ignomlnious failure awaits him.
1t is we'll known that he had no choice
in tho selection of his deputy, nor has
he had the power to name any of the
officers of the institution. The appoint
ing board, of which Cy Leland is chair
man. has farmed out all the positions to
political favorites of no experience or
ability except as ward or township ma
nipulators, and able ex-officers who
would be the best aids for a new warden
at this crisis are told by the governor
himself that the places at the prison are
only for politicians, and that having
had their turn they must now
give way to others, thus showing
that he has absolutely no conception OF
the duty of public servant, and that
everything save his own personal inter
ests is viewed by him through the re-
verse end of a telescope.
"The terrible conditions existing at
Lansing and the manner in which they
are to be met by the administration
warrant those at all familiar with penal
institutions in believing that the Cover
nor's policy will result disastrously to the
institution and the state. From model
prison that at Lansing will have fallen
to mere place for the incarceration of
criminals inferior in management and
discipline to the horrible state prisons of
Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia. Should
murder and mutiny occur because of the
governors business administration of
this institution, the blood will be upon
his head for sacrificing mems lives and
the interests of the state to the greed of
himself and Cy Leland for political
mower"

Of the crowd who went to see them. As

thing at his coattail, and putting his
hand into his pocket he found an egg.

transferred it to the pocket of a young
man just in front of him, person as
unlike himself as can we'll be imagined.
Arrived in the hall, he remarked where
this young man placed himself and
chose his own seat in corner as remote

Preparing For q Gaming.

Kit Alexander had been warned sew
eral times for breaches of school disci-
pline and was at length reported to the
head master, who gave him final
warning. One night not long after Kit
was again caught in mischief, and he
felt that this time he was in for it. :"
A fogging by the doctor was no joke.
and Kit determined to make what prep
aration he could that the wind might
be tempered to the shorn lamb.
On rising the next morning he put
on first his undershirt, then layer OF
stiff brown paper, then his jerseys, upon
these a sweater and over all clean
white shirt, borrowed from his chum,
whose clothing was two sizes larger
than his own. Lastly he put on his coat
and vest
It was a very hot day in June, and at
morning intermission Kit whispered to
a friend: I'm nearly stifed. I hope
he'll give it to me now"
But the doctor said nothing, and Kit
went on stewing until dinner time. He
felt half inclined to dispense at least
with the sweater before afternoon school,
but fear of the Doctors cane deferred
him.
All through the afternoon he suffered
untold misery, hopping his face until
his handkerchief would mop no more.
But at length, just before dismissal,
came messenger. 1.-THE doctor would
like to see Alexander in his study
On entering the study the boy saw
the supple, snakelike cane lying on the
table,

of the scholars who cluster

center OF culture in the country. His
work for the college was not SO exact
ing that he had not time for literature.
The impulse to write poetry returned,
yet the next book he published was the
prose Hyperion, which appeared i"
1889, and which, though it has little
plot or action, may be called a romance.

A few months later in the same yea
he published his first volume Of poetry
-''Voices of the Night"-in which he
reprin ted certain Of his earlier verses,
most of them written while he was at
Bowdoin. Some of these boyish verses
show the influence of Bryant, and 9th
ers reveal to US that the young poet had
not yet looked at life for himself, but
still saw it through the stained glass
windows Of European tradition. The
same volume contained also some more
recent poems-'T 1.-THE Beleaguered City"
and "The Reaper and the Flowers" and
the "Psalm of Life perhaps the first
of his poems to win swift and abiding
popularity. These lyrics testified that
Longfellow was beginning to have a

American poet Longfellow had master

and he knew how to combine the swift

requires. His ballads have more of tho
old time magic, more Of the early SIM

English author. OF its kind there is
nothing better in the language than
