der over the difference between the

much ability for the positions they
would aspire to as monkey has

Where do such characters orig
mate from? They are graduates
of the criminal kindergartens
of our large cities. Those of them
yet free will have to come to pris-
on to get sense knocked into their
addle- pates. They have so far adj
vanced in their career of an easy,
white-shirted life that their pseudo
pride makes them as obstinate as
the most incorrigible mule. Moth
ing but the aid of Divine Provi-
dence or a term in prison will
avail now because they have
reached the age at which they
think they know it all, and laugh
at the ignorance Of parents who
would have them learn a ''com-
mon" trade. The only cure for
this class is a preventive. Train
them differently in the formative
period. Give them thorough re-
spect for ordinary labor. The
only immediate remedy in their
present state is the use of we'll
seasoned parental club during this
know-it-all age, when common
sense or reasoning will not move

MOCK PRIDE.

IT is at all times very laudable
to have a good opinion Of ourself,
provided we are able to govern
that opinion and not have it rule
us with the wand Of despotism.
There are men in this world who
have often comforted themselves,
when out of employment, with the
''bright' illusion that they would
rather steal than work at anything
below what they consider their
class. A great many have put this
into practice with the gratifying
result that they are still in their
CLASS, prison-fairly loaded
down with presumed dignity. So
much SO that the very cell door
almost says, ''thank you, master
for honoring me" as it clanks into
place.
There are young men growing
up these days who think they are
dishOnored for time and eternity
if they cannot find employment in
some calling in which they may wear
a white shirt, and lime-washed fence
around their neck at all times
The very thought of working at a
trade or calling in which their
hands may become begrimed
with the imprint of honest toll is
like a dose of nuX vOmica to them
They consider it a badge of dis
grace to be seen with a pair OF
overalls on. They would rather
work for five dollars a week as q
white-shirted turnkey than to earn
fifteen dollars week as plumber
or blacksmith.
That is the class Of beings who
are crowding the penitentiaries OF
the country. True to their foolish
mock pride they steal in preference
to replacing their 80 cent white
shirt with one that bears the stamp
of a workingman. They could not
bear to think of making theil
hands coarse by the brisk use OF
a carpenters hammer. That would
be outrageous; their dear girl
friends might frown upon them il
they were known as common work
men, or ever wore a smOck and
overalls in lieu of their $7.98 store

COURTESY gives the largest re-
turns, in a worldly sense, Of any
ordinary quality we possess. Some
writer has very aptly compared
politeness to an air cushion, say
ing: "There may be nothing in it
but it is very easing to the limbs. .
It does not cost any extra effort tc
speak and act courteously either to
our superiors or those we may con-
slider not our equals and the re-
spect it gains for us augments the
satisfaction of knowing that we
are acting and speaking manfully.
The man who puts on the cloak OF
politeness merely as a blind tC
some mean, Interior motive is soon
discovered. The counterfeit ring
to his words and actions is as easily
discernible to the knowing ones
as is the good dollar from the
spurious.

RISON.NADE ENERGY.

WE HAVE one great consolation
in prison. We may manufacture
all the mental, moral and physical
energy we please, and no labor
organization will claim that the
''energy' market is being glutted.
It is an impossibility to drug the
country with that very necessary
commodity to our welfare.
It is exactly what we are here
for: if we do not cultivate a GER
tain amount of honest energy
while here it is nine chances out
of ten that we will land back in
this or similar institution again.
Even for our own individual ad-
vantage, laying morals aside for a
moment, we should not think of
longer wasting the time we are
compelled to stay here. You may
say that in one respect it is al
ready wasted by our being here.
That is true: but as most of us
have none but ourselves to blame
we should be anxious to make the
waste of some value by improving
our minds. Unless we begin
right in here to prepare ourselves
to be something better than what
we were it is almost certainty
that we will fall back into the
same ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain" To become
a professional crook is to wage
war against the entire world with
no moral or physical backing to
aid you. If you saw puny Lilli-
putian attempting battle against
half a dozen giants would you not
laugh him to scorn? That is, fig
uratively speaking, what Grim
inal is doing. He may steal a
march on the giant Society while
the latter sleeps, but woe betide
him when the time of reckoning
comes as it surely will with a
vengeance.
We have yet to meet the GRIM
inal who has not often said that
such a life was foolish and even
distasteful to him. He pursues it
simply because he has not the will
power to get down and work for a
time to awaken his thoughts to the
absurdity Of such an existence. 1t
is not necessary to become a Latin
scholar or a student Of all the isms
and ologies. Just read up on
everyday occurrences, and look
such a life square in the face. Use
little energy in thinking for your
self and do not be like a weather
vane blown about and governed by
the senseless advice of companions.
Just compare your own lot to that
Of some friend whom you respect
for his honesty and you will quickly
reach the conclusion that 1T IS
worth while cultivating a little en-
ergy here that you may be like
him when free again.

The quintessence of freakish
legislation has been reached in
Kentucky. The lawmakers of that
state are seriously considering the
passage of bill providing for the
branding of convicted burglars on
each cheek. The jowl of the au-

only thing in the blue grass state
invulnerable to a branding iron.

An EMINENT divine, in a recent
lecture, nails the truth down close
to where it belongs when he says:
do not send children to the re-
form school-send their fathers
and mothers" There can be no
doubt in the mind of a thinking
person but that such method, if
it was practicable, would ultimately
result in giving some parents a
wholesome idea of the obligations
they owe society-that wedlock is
not a mere pastime, but involves a
stern duty to their children and
posterity.

Col. JOHNSON, asst. prosecuting
attorney at st. Louis, Mo-, is de-
serving of more than passing
"thank you" from all good people
for the position taken by him in
recent case. A woman not yet
twenty-one years old was charged
with the theft Of twenty cents from
an open poor-b box in a church.
The pastor insisted on her being
prosecuted according to law. Col.
johnson looked into the case
closely and found that the young
girl had been without food for
three days previous and had slept
in coal shed three nights, being
without money or friends. Here
are part of her own words which
were amply verified by Mr.. John
son:
[ was desperate. [ thought |
would go in and pray for help. AS
[ knelt at the altar I saw the open
poor box with the money in it. [
was wild with hunger and some
thing put it into my head to take
enough to buy a meal. [ reached
and got twenty cents. The janitor
saw me and accused me of the
theft. [ confessed and begged not
to be arrested. He took me to the
police station where [ was locked
up.
Mr.. johnson explained matters
in full to the church authorities,
but had to make an earnest plea
for the girl as the pastor was yet
in doubt as to the story, but finally
consented to drop the prosecution.
The very fact that the girl was
careful to take only twenty cents
was ample proof that she was no
thief at heart. We take infinite
pleasure in thanking Col. johnson
for his action and wish there were
more prosecuting attorneys like
him. His manly conduct will
probably save that girl from a life
of shame for there would have
been little else open to her on
account of her sex if she had ever
been sent to the workhouse. The
