IT IS unusual to hear a man in
prison blame the extravaganza Of
his wife as the cause of his down.
fall. It may be looked at on the
principle that "a poor excuse is
better than none" And yet his
story is somewhat plausible, though
not by any means reasonable ex-
cuse for criminal act. The sub
stance Of his tale of woe is that his
wife would buy anything and al
most everything offered her on the
''installment plan.'' From a fancy
pin cushion to parlor range she
was satisfied to take it as long as
the payments were only twenty
five or fifty cents a week. He
claims that his wife had so many
of these installment certificates to
pay weekly that she had to do a
crooked turn to keep the family
exchequer alive. We can hardly
sympathize with the chap, how
ever, as from his own admissions,
one-half his weekly drink bill
would have met his installment
payments; and his wife knowing
this probably adopted the method
in the hope Of bringing him to
time by making his home attrac-

DISCHARGED PRISONERS.

AT THE Civic Philanthropic
conference held ct Battle Creek,
Mich, the past week, one Of the
speakers, in a discourse on the
"Aim Of Philanthropy" in dealing
with the ex-convict said in part:
There are three classes of men dis
charged from our prisOns-frst, those
who desire to be helped to better life,
who certainly deserve the help they
long for; second, the defective classes,
who need help even more than the
others; third, those who are hardened
in crime, and neither ask nor accept
help from anyone, and who plunge at
once into crime again. For this latter
class there seems to be but little hope;
and their rescue is regarded as almost
hopeless by those who have charge of
them.
We do not fully agree with the
gentleman in what he says of the
latter class, that is if he includes
in such class all who leave prison
without making a formal request
for future assistance. Many of
these men may be thoroughly i'm
bued with the true spirit of self
help and determined to build up
character without ostentatiously
proclaiming misspent past. And
if they possess the necessary forti-
tude and can attain such end by
'humbly beginning life DER again"
it is undoubtedly the best plan.
But there certainly is a small class
of discharged prisoners who leave
the penitentiary with the avowed
intention of returning to a life
of crime, and for these there is
positively no hope save death or
life sentence. We do not wish,
however, that the general public
should get the idea that such men
form an appreciate class, as they
are practically very slight in num-
Der. 1t is on the principle Of a
man going forth Willingly to dig
his own grave and there are few
such in any walk Of life. Some
prisoners fall into evil ways again
but Of these it may be said that in
most cases it was through lack of
determined purpose, will-power or
get-thereitiveness, rather than any
personal inclination for such life.

creased exertion for your inter-
ests."
Such is approximately the
''brotherly love" existing between
the average taskmaster and the
human machines he employs.
Though vague appearance of
mutual confidence appears on the
surface, you need but throw a
pebble into this pool Of self-in-
terest to see the riling water of
distrust lash the contending in
terests-or ''rights,'' if you please.
The homely custom of ''believing
every man honest until you dis
cover he is thief" is exactly re-
versed and used as the slogan of
united capital and united labor
alike.
The world is daily growing bet
ter, it is continually improving,
and the songbird wakes fat while
the complaining drone is swamped
in his own misery. But what a
grand impetus would be given to
progress if men would but learn to
trust each other, and thereby give
real semblance to the higher in
stincts in each that proclaims the
divine in the human. If such were
possible we would soon miss the
mutterings of the paid socialists
and anarchists. It would be I'M
necessary then to make attempts
to upset the ordinary routine of
affairs by wild flights of altruistic
utopianism, for the world would of
itself naturally gravitate to the
highest conception of worldly hap
piness and individual security.
The taskmaster would seek less,
while he received more, as the
laborer, impelled by a sense of
mutual confidence could do more
with practically less effort. Love
in one form or another has always
moved the world and the love of
man for man that would be the
natural outgrowth Of true fellow
ship: would give wings to the
laborer who is now an automatic
slave to task.

tence, it practically contains the
key to genuine happiness, for one
must be doing something to re-
tain a healthy, tranquil mind.
It is possible for every energetic
being on Gods footstool to ac-
quire their need Of happiness,
even though their earning capacity
is limited to a small per diem.
Happiness is a creation of the
mind rather than of the material
body. When the late VIM. H.
Vanderbilt said: "a man with
100000 was as we'll off as though
he were rich,'' he but emphasized,
in an exaggerated sense, the fact
that a stipend upon which to live
in moderate comfort was more con-
ducive to happiness, than great
wealth with it's consequent annoy
ances and freakish social antics.
And if the reader will look over
his list of acquaintance he will
readily discover that the happiest
are those who take a pleasure in
their daily labors, and not the
ones who create wrinkles by a
ceaseless worry for impossible
wealth.

A sQUIB is going the rounds of
the press to the effect that "there
is no use walking the floor with a
felon." Further it advises that
you wrap a cloth closely around
the felon leaving the end open.
Pour gunpowder in the end and
shake it down until the felon is
covered" A more practical
method than the foregoing is to
lock the felon in cell for two
years, and keep the gunpowder
behind a leaden pellet whence it
may be used if the felon becomes
too troublesome.

CHARACTER WRECKERS

THERE are numberless human
vultures in this world whose only
happy moments are when delving
into the moral carrion of life, seek
ing whom and what they may
despoil by sedulously disseminate
ing moral miasma. Tale hearers
and "cabin-hunters'' cause more
real trouble in the world than could
ever be effected by the original
acts upon which their gossip" is
based. We copy the following
from an unknown source as it
strikes right at the core Of the in
jury inflicted by social hawks:
If a man or woman has done some
thing wrong in his or her life and has
thoroughly repented of it and is en-
deavoring to atone for the past by an
honest and moral life, the person who
deliberately spreads abroad the story
of the PERSONS early misstep and
thereby kicks the repentant one down
to the bottom round of the ladder
again is as bad as murderer. We do
not envy such a tale bearer his medita-
tions or his future fate. A gifted
young preacher became the victim of
cocaine. He lost his pulpit, his repu

spirit of a demon told of his former
habit and he lost his work. Then in a
fit of despair he killed himself. If
ings, that tale-bearer ought to be pur
sued by the suicides spirit the rest of
his earthly life.
Many other such incidents as
the foregoing might be cited to
show the dire results Of the demo-
niacal work Of the character
wrecker. Ex-prisoners are the
finest kind of fish for the nets of
these human vultures. They will
walk all day and otherwise put
themselves out for the sole pleas
ure Of carrying around the news of
a spot in the past of some one now
trying his best by model conduct
to obliterate that past. Have these
social buzzards any good purpose
in view, or are they in position
to "cast the first stone?" Usually
the lover of carrion is no better
than the foul matter upon which
he thrives. A longing for the
unclean is prima facie evidence of
moral uncleanliness in the seeker
