IIiiteracy and Crime.

The Pennsylvania prison report has
some interesting statistics relating to
the condition of the convicts in the
penal institutions of that state. In
1895 there were received in the peni-
Tertiary 523 convicts, of whom 4S2 had
attended public schools and 80 hal been
pupils in private schools. OF the Otal
only ninety one, or less that fifteen per
cent were iliterate, while four-tifths
of the entire number had received
some benefit from the public edu ,ation-
al system. Clearly whatever may be
said OF education rs preventative of
crime it does not appear that illiteracy
is necessary ad iun-t of crime, at least
in Pennsylvania.

Jessie looked up ut the steam gauge.
Nhe pointer indicated only 100 pounds

the track ahead, the intrepid girl left
the throttle and, opening the flre-box
door, replenished the fire. Just as the
last scoopful of coal was thrown in
and the door closed the runaway shot
around the curve into view. and, start.

closely for Il chance to catch the now

Down the heavy grade went engine

mile from the dangerous bridge. Jes.
sic decided To take the last desperate
chance, and as the engine reached the
desired point, only few feet ahead of
the flying ore ears, the girl gave the
engine n light touch of the alrbrake
and then, with mighty impact. the
heavy train struck the engine, then the
aiebrake lever was sent To the "emer-
gency NOTCH" but so great was the
speed OF the train that even that did
but little to slacken the speed and that
awful curve at the bridge was almost
in sight.

thought of that deadly place. She
knew the big engine would never

One supreme effort of the strong

the black giant was thrown over, the

tie, throwing Il mighty force against
the heavy train.
Now the speed of the train material

rolled and rocked like n ship at sea rs

CARRYING GEESE TO MARKET.
Method that Allows Them to Enjoy
the Scenery While En- Route,


There are several ways of carrying
geese to market. The most popular way
of course is in coops or under the arm
depending on how many geese you
have to market. But when large num-
Der of geese are to be carried, and one
has no coops, ingenuity is taxed.
One morning last week, says a Will
hmsport, Pa, paper, a farm wagon
towled merrily along South Troost av-
enue marketward to the cackling of
number of geese. As the wagon drew
up alongside a crowded car the passen-
gers looked out with interest Arising
from the wagon were two dozen long,
white necks that woye and twisted. and
two dozen red bills opened to cackle,
but not the body of a goose was to be
seen.
Stretched across the wagon and tack
ed to each side were a number of bur
lap bags. Holes had been cut In the
bags, and through each neck of

ship, Love and Truth. The sermon
on the subject s:What think We Of
Christ" was very forcibly illustrated
in a manner that was convincing as
to the truth Of his argument, and was
intently listened to by the entire
audience. Judging from the inter
est manifested in the first meeting, of
the series, great interest will prevail
before the close and be productive Of
inestimable spiritual good. There is
one point Mr.. Hunt referred to that
is very commendable, that is the
meetings will commence promptly at
8o'clock, all those attending ought to
make an effort to be there on time as
they will then be able to obtain the
full benefit of these meetings. !.
