The head and moving spirit of the home is
Mrs Agnes L. d'Arcambal a lady of means and
social position and prominent in phanthropic
effort. She has been engaged in promoting the
interests of prisoners for nearly a quarter of a
century. A miniature prisoners home in a little
structure which had been built for her boys
playhouse in kalamazoo, which, by q train of
circumstances became at various times resting
place for disheartened eX-priSOners, was the
foundation for the home at Detroit. which has
been in operation nine years. The prison au-

secured outside for as many as may be. Mother
d'Arcambal trusts cher bOys,' and they return
the trust by doing as she would have them do

country to keep posted on the stirring events
that will occur in this country and in the Old
World within the next nine months. The re-
suits will affect ALL personally, directly or ndi
rectly. This nation is on the eve of the most eX-
citing presidential campaign in its history.
European politics are in a very complicated
state, and scientists are applying their discov-
cries to many lines that will produce startlingly
new things.
To keep abreast with the world one should
read, in addition to the local or county paper a
live metropolitan newspaper, such as the Twice
a-Week Republic of st. Louis. 1t is the most
progressive journal in the United States. and in
each issue it gives the latest political news of all
parties in the field the latest general news of
the world and many valuable special features
besides. This model newspaper is delivered
twice-a-week by mail for only 81 year, or less
than one cent a copy.

The members of the whitewaSh brigade caused
a furry of excitement while at their work in the
engine-room on Monday last. In shifting a
ladder, it fell upon the whiStle-cord. and as the
shrill sound of the steam-whistle pierced the air
at that unusual hour, it was natural conclusion
to suppose that the prison was on fire, or that
the cOnvcts were in state of insubOrdinatiOn.
Some boys, playing on the bluff north of the
prison at the time of the alarm, saw Keeper
Stilkey running towards the engine-room to as
certain the cause of the trouble, and small boy
called out to his paymates Hi, kids. here's a
go! The cOnvictS are breaking out; see how fast
that one is running!" Many men in the city
made the same mistake of supposing that some
thing was seriously wrong at the prison, but in
side the walls everything ran along smoothly
without ripple of excitement, and the manu-
facture of fine shoes that defy competition was
not retarded in the least: the hum and buzz
of the automatic twine machines was not stied
and the output of the superior grade of twine
that has caused the trust to be seized with "a
pale and sickly melancholy" will not be percep.
