The Effect Of Fifty Years I'M
priSCnment.

It is not often we get such an object
lesson depicting the results of the
present day prison system as that
which occurred short while ago at
the prison of Pankraz, Bohemia. A
prisoner named Josef He'll celebrated
his fiftieth years imprisonment, and
when the director asked him what
small treat he would like in commem-
Grafton of the event he replied: "Take
me to the courts and let me see some
other men sentenced"
This was the effect which fifty years
of Imprisonment had on this convict,
with the ominous name. His only de-
sire was to see others who were about
to undergo similar treatment to that
which he himself had endured for so
long. Such reply would surely indi
cate that the maker thereof more
nearly appropriated to some non
human stage of existence than to the
one of which he was ostensibly men,
Der.
The foremost nations of the world
are certainly taking an extraordinary
long time to evolve a prison system
which, instead of producing beings like
Josef Hell, shall turn out men and
women who are thousand-fold more
human and humane than when they
entered the institution. This can be
done. So long as human being is not
absolutely sOulless there is always hope
for him. The divine spark can always,
by the right treatment, be made to
burn so brightly as to transform the
whole character.
1t cannot be denied that in this
direction we are certainly travelling,
but we are progressing SO slowly that,
to those impatient for radical reforms,
we hardly seem to be moving at all.
SO long, however, as the prison system
of the world leans more to punitive
than to refOrmative measures, so long
will the present inhumane and unSatiS-
factory conditions continue to testify
both to our lack of belief in the posi-
bility of transforming criminal into
a presentable human being and to the
length of time it takes to permeate
society with ideas whose only ends are
for it's benefit and advantage.
Where we evolve a John Howard
every half century we should, in the
not very distant future, make impOssi.

There was an athletic exhibition
given on the main floor of the cell
house building Tuesday afternoon, the
like of which has rarely if ever been
witnessed by man before. 1t was a
contest to the death between a young
mouse and wasp, and lasted eight
minutes by actual time. The mouse
first snapped at the wasp, thinking it a
dainty tid-bit for lunch. Mr.. Wasp
was Immediately on the defensive and
struck his mouselets an actual "sting-
ing" blow. The mouse seemingly
could not understand whence came the
power of the wasp's back slaps and
made another lunge only to be again
repulsed in like manner. The mouse
squealed with the pain of the stings

Another will procure a wife of any

The Board Of Pardons were exceed
ingly conservative in the distribution
of clemency at their meeting held in
the Capitol on Monday. Only one in
mate of this institution was recos-
nized; and that was only commuta-
tfon from a fifteen to ten-year
sentence. Three inmates of St. Cloud
ReformatOry whose terms were almost
completed, were pardoned at the re-
quest of the managers of that institu-
ton. Twenty eight cases in all were
presented to the board all of which
were disposed of, with the exception of
one application withdrawn at this
meeting to be presented later. The
first application of female prisoner
for pardon was presented, but it Jared
no better than the balance.

Inc hrSt meeting OF PIerlan Circle
for the new chautauqua year was held
in the chapel hall last Sunday after
noon. The President occupied the
chair. Roll call after tardy ones had
arrived, showed all the thirty-three
members present.
The minutes of the previous meet
ing were read and approved. The Sec
rotary then presented his quarterly re-
port, giving concise statement Of the
attendance, ETC., of the quarter just
closed. Two new members were adj
mitted and assigned to classes. Upon
motion the rules were suspended and
the present class leaders were all re-

The circle had as it's guests, Editor
Nelson of the Washington Co. Journal;
Supt. Il. F. Connolly, DIR. A. E. He'd
beck, Miss Mckinney, Miss ColIigan,
Miss Granting, Mrs. Lemon, Gladys
Lemon, Miss Gertie Wolfer, and their
friends. Many others vino had signi-
fed their intention of coming were de-
tered from so doing on account of the
inclement weather, it having rained
nearly the entire day.
A program of miscellaneous sub

given to each one present, visitors and

manner. He said she had been we'll

had braved the inclemencies of the
weather to be with u.s." His words of
encouragement were we'll received and

Upon motion, the chair appointed
committee of three to draft a resOlu-
ton of thanks as an expression of the
Circle to Judge Smith, of West Supe-
rior, Wis, for his efforts in behalf of
the INDECENT downfallen coming before
him. Then followed the distribution
of studies for the new Chautauqua

that when you saw young woman
moisten her handkerchief with the end
of her tongue to wipe speck from a
young mans face you could safely
wager on an early wedding. But in
those bloomer days the dreamy eyed
doves will tear button off your vest
to show you the pleasure it gives them
to sew it on again, and the very next

how strong minded they are. The
