in the lpenitentiary. Convicts are re-
leased at the penitentiary at the expir
alton OF their term with 500 and a
suit Of clothes. In most instances the
money is spent within few hours in
this city. and then the ex-convict takes
up once more his business OF crime
right at the very doors OF the pen. The
penitentiary cost the county s. for
convictions. ETC., to every 81 that it
saves in having convicts taken OF it's
hands"
This may be an exaggerated view Of
the penitentiary menace. There may not
be 500 ex-convicts at large in this COM
munity. But il there are 800 there is
serious danger in the fact. 1t is not a
good thing that Lincoln should be the
dumping ground for the criminals OF
the state. A leaven of 300 or 500 con-
firmed brutes and law breakers may so
leaven a whole community that the
opposing influences of education and
morality will be largely neutralized-
particularly among a certain class. In
some states released convicts are
escorted to the state line.
There are ethical objections
to such course, but it is not right
that Lincoln should bear this great
criminal burden. 1t is bad enough to
have the politicians of the state draw
to the capital without the curse of a
constant, unloading OF criminals in "our

one Of the best Known distance skaters In
Canada. but of late years has given up
distance skating.
Bessie Brown is the lightweight OF the

He has played goals for Montreal for about
five years and lis almost impossible stop

Murphy is tie most rot ed athlete of the
team. He is probably the best la crosse
player on the Montreal team and Ii also
a noted Rugby foot ball player.
James is a first-class defense player. He
is noted for his stopping and for his rapid
clearing.
Barlow is the most brilliant forward on
either team. While he is rather light In
weight he is noted for his speed and 10
also a great scorer. He has for years been
considered one OF the best, IL not the best,
forwards in Canada.
Mussen is speedy and effective His great
endurance will stand him in good stead on
the American Kinks. which are larger gen.
orally than the Canadian rinks
c. McKarrow has been one of the finds
of tine season. He Is noted stick handler
and scorer, one of his strongest points ne
ing his passing and combination play.
A. Mckarrow is a twin brother OF Z. Nc
Harrow. and while not quite so heavy and
strong he plays very much the same style
of game. One of the features Of the game
when both brothers are playing is their
passing and combination.

'It Is an astounding diseovery-ole of the most

1t was In these words that an eminent scientist
lately referred to the new and wonderful inven-
fion In photography which everybody is discussing.
This great invention, most people aware,
enables photographers to tske pictures Of objects
completely hidden from the sight In a recent
experiment, for instance, portrait Of q man was
set ured, although he was separated from the pho
tosrapher by three-inch Partition In another
case, picture was obtained Of oil the bones

In speaking Of this wonderful discovery we'll

thousands of people who walking the streets

be filled with alarm and dread They would
their liver and kidneys clcgged with impurities
and their blood filled with deadly secretions which
poison the whole system. They would see these
delicate organs slowly but surely giving under
this eorroding poisoning influence. Oh, what an
effect such picture would have
The doctor is perfectly right, but at the same
time there thousands of people who need no
photograph to tell them that there is something
wrong with their health. They know that they
complain of tired feelings. NERVOUSNESS. headaches,
backa"hes, stomach troubles constipation and dull,

When these great organs of the body fail to act

Boston paper just prior to the opening Of
the local bazaar that the people of Wash
ington could not be expected to stand by
their schools as Boston had done has
proven false prophecy, for, the popula-
ton and wealth of the two cities being
considered, Washington has given the bet

The Annual Income.
Adding the amount realized from the ba-
zaar to the fund already in hand, about
$4,000, the permanent fund Of the Teach
ers' Annuity and Aid Association is at
present about $4,000 This is an inviolable
capital. the income alone of which can be
used for the relief of annuitants. Under
the terms of the constitution this income
together with one-half of the current dues
of members, will constitute what is known
as an annuity fund. distinguished from
the permanent fund.
Nearly the W hole of the capital fund has
already been invested in q per cent first
mortgages through the voluntary services

per annum. Add to this one-half the dues
of members, which will be about 81 800 and
$500 per annum Is rendered available for
the relief of aged and disabled teachers. 1t
will be seen that this fund is, after all, but
a drop in the bucket. 1t should be under
stood that all the association claims is to
have made a beginnil.g-a foundation on
which the efforts of their successors and
the generosity of the friends of the public

1t is something to have aroused public in

efficiency Of the teaching corps by making
merciful provision for those who break

Why the Association Was Started,
The story of the origin of the association
Is rather interesting. About two years ago

widowed sister-in-law and her family on a
salary averaging 500. broke down in health
and consequently did such poor work that
the school board was forced to reduce her.
and finally to drop her from the rolls. She

certain of the teachers banded together and
contributed toward her support. The case
cited led to the formation of the nucleus
