A PATIENT FARMER.
fime Was RIO Object, and He Gained His
Point at Last.

Point at Last.
The patience of the average Arkansas
farmer is abnormal. He is never in a
hurry, and he thinks things are bound to
come right If he only waits. He accepts
with resignation whatever destiny has in
store for him and implicitly believes that
circumstances make the man and not that
man may make circumstances and there
by have any hand in the making of him
self. The writer in passing through the
hills Of upper Arkansas found his progress
stopped by a swiftly flowing river. To-
ward the center Of the river was o team, a
wagon and man. The team was station
ary and water eddied and foamed around
it. The man was complacently smoking q
pipe. Pushing his horse out into the cur
rent, the writer approached the team and
the man evinced languid interest in his
approach.
"Why don't you move on?" was asked
Cant"

"What are you going to do about it?'

"How long have you been thinking?"
'Since early morning" 1t was now
afternoon.
The rider fastened one end of rope to
the tongue of the wagon and the other end
to the pommel of his saddle. The vehicle
was Strengthened out and the horses sprang
forward under the lash. Soon the farmer
and his team were safely landed.
Didn't it occur to you to unhitch your
horses and go for help?" was asked.

The possibilities which extend in the ex-
tension of the glaring electric light signs
affected by certain advertisers of Chicago
have never been fathomed. In point Of
fact, they are almost limitless. Take two
competing firms, located next door to one
another, both having an equal amount of
grit and money, and if they are turned
loose with electric signs they can make the
street hideous and their wares prominent
for blocks in every direction.
Two down town theaters are engaged in
giving an exhibition of this kind just
now. Located next door to one another,
each is striving to outshine the other, not
so much in tho quality of entertainment
offered, but in the height and number of
the brilliant signs scattered over the front
of the buildings. The older theater, the
one first in the field, had for years exhibit
ed a collection of advertisements projecting
from the front of the building out over tho
sidewalk and shining forth in the night
for mile east and west. The second
theatrical man opened up next door and at
once arranged for a series of signs on his
house which from a distance would lead
the observer to think all the lights were
ON one building. dlgner ana nlghef tne
signs mounted until now the two build
ings are mass of light every night
If one of these advertisers still strives to
outdo his rival, he might hang out sign
close to the cornice, and this would force
the other man to erect an arm on the roof
of his structure on which to place a still
higher sign. Should this fever break out
in the Masonic temple, it Is hard to pre-
dict where it would end. Balloons covered
with incandescent lights would be the
proper limit.-Chicago Chronicle.

PACKAGES TO CONVICTS
WARDEN HARLEY EXPLAINS WHY
THEY ARE NOT DELIVERED.
Contraband stun Struggled Into Pris-
On-SiGht of Favored Prisoners
Makes the Others Ugly.

Numerous complaints have been lodged at
the Governors office recently, based on al
legations that packages addressed to con-
victs in the state prison at Michigan City,
Ind, had been denied delivery and returned
to the sender.
Repres entatives of the express companies
and others have asked for an explanation
OF the ruling debarring such packages from
the prison, and in answer to letter of in
quiry sent by the Governor Warden Har-
ley has addressed letter to the executive
department in which he says:
The rules of the prison are that such
packages cannot be received at the prison
1or the following reasons: All friends of
the prisoners have been notified that they
can bring a small quantity of fruit, when
they visit their friends and relatives, to be
eaten while they are visiting. The reasons
Tor not allowing packages to come into the
prison are various. one is that Ii is a
method adopted by the friends on the out
side; who are strangers TO us, of trying to
send In saws, weapons, morphine, opium,
money and all contraband stuff, and the
prison physician has time and again pro-
tested against the admission of these pack.
ages, as they contain all kinds of food,
some of it arriving in bad condition, which
we have to condemn and throw away, which
causes a prisoner to feel aggrieved. There
nave been q number of cases on record
where prisoners receiving packages or boxes
OF eulDleS nave gOrged themselves with IL,
with the result that they have lain in the
hospital for days and weeks, and become a
charge upon the State. In one case in par
ticular it was several months before the
prisoners got well. We have adopted the
grading and parole system, and these pack
ages coming in would make it much more
difficult to enforce the rules of the system.
Another reason is that we have men con-
fined in this prison who have no friends on
the outside to send them delcacies, and
when they sit alongside of prisoners VINO
have such delicacies as pie, nuts, cakes,
melons etc, it makes them fell hard and
ugly. l have known instances of prisoners
being here for years and never tasting pie
or cake during their term. except what we
gave them on legal holidays. Upon every
legal holiday we give to each and every
prisoner a good, big, hearty dinner, con-
sisting of turkey or oysters, pies cakes
lemonade, etc. Our main object is to be
square with each prisoner and treat them
all alike. Then they will have no cause to
grumble.''

OUR HANGING GARDEN.

Hon. John L. Griffiths made a palpable
hit in his speech Monday night by referring
to our incipient park system as a hanging
garden. 1--WE have" he said, something
in Indianapolis that resembles the hang
ing gardens of Babylon-we have a sus-
pended park system" Some cities have real
parks and some have roof gardens, but this
city is unique among modern ones in it's
possession of a suspended park system. 1t
can be seen by any person on clear day,
with the aid of a powerful imagination,
and it possesses that great advantage over
a real park that each person can invest
it with attractions to his own taste. Mayor
Taggart, to whose wise and phianthropic
foresight the city is indebted for this unique
attraction, took pains that the park system
should be suspended in midair at such a
height as to leave each individual magma
ton free to improve it. Like the mysterious
city of Alaska or a mirage of the desert
it floats in the upper air without any visible
connection with the earth, a dream Of
beauty, as idle as a painted ship upon a
painted ocean, the exquisite handiwork of
his Honor, the mayor. 1t is doubtful If any
business administration in any city Of mod
ern time ever provided for the amusement
of the people so perfect a reproduction on
8. large scale of the hanging gardens of
Babylon. Indeed, ours is an Improvement
on the latter The Babylon gardens were
erected by Nebuchadnezzar within the pre-
cncts of his palace chiefly for the delight
of himself and the inmates of the palace.
Mayor Taggart has hung our park system
up where all can see and admire it.. More
over. the Babylon garden really rested on
the topmost of a series of arches seventy
five feet high, while ours floats in the blue
empyrean so high that a kite could hardly
reach it. Nebuchadnezzar was not lin it,

phianthropist and purveyer to popular

should they have denied the officer or any
Democrat the right of speech at Repub-
lican meeting? The Journal, for thousands
Of interested and curious Republicans.
would like explanation. Evidently the
Democrats have no meetings at which the
superintendent can be heard. Probably
neither the Democratic nor the Taggart or
gan is open to the superintendent. There
fore, unless he should come to the Journal,
he is denied the privilege of the American
citizen-freedom of speech.
No one knows what the superintendent
desired to say. He might be in frame of
mind to explain why gambling is allowed.
He might clear himself of the charge made
against himself and the mayor for prose-
cutting saloon keepers who do not sell the
amber fluid of the Indianapolis syndicate.
1t is probable that he would have given
good arguments why Judge Cox should
not be reelected.
There is every reason to believe that the
superintendent would have been a very
picturesque speaker and added a positive
element of gayety to the campaign. Hav-
ing made one speech, the superintendent
might have been induced to make others,
the announcement of which, no doubt,
would have caused acres of people to flock
to the Republican meetings, who would
have been persuaded that it is necessary,
upon the superintendent showing. to get
rid of the Taggart administration.
All these and other advantages have
been lost in the blunder of not permitting
Superintendent Colbert to speak at a Re-
publican meeting. If the superintendent
had made a glowing speech, the mayor, as
no other than Republican meetings have
large audiences. might have plucked up
courage TO ask the privilege of speaking
from Republican platform. All that can
be done now is to repudiate the action of
those who suppressed the superintendent
and send him special invitation to add to
the picturesqueness of the campaign by de-
livering the anti-Cox speech at the next
Republican meeting

tOr-Last Nights Sermon.


The semi-annual session of the Presby-
terry of indianapolis began at the Seventh

sion will be continued to-day and will prob
ably close late this afternoon. The Presby-
terry of indianapolis includes forty three
churches in the counties of Marion, Han
cock, bartholomew, Johnson, Monroe, Nor
gan, Putnam, Hendricks and Clay. 1t is
expected the usual number of ministers and
lay representatives will be present to-day
The Seventh Presbyterian Church held a
good-sized audience last night to hear the
sermon of Rev. w. K. Weaver, of Green
CASTLE who preached from the words of
Matthew: They all forsook Him and fed"
The minister explained that the arrest and
death of Jesus Christ was part of Gods
eternal plan. The disciples imagined that
defeat had overtaken Him, but it was not
defeat. On the contrary it was a great vic
tory. The disciples failed to grasp Gods
great plan. Jesus Christ has never known
defeat. The minister said it is possible that
ideals may never be reached, but the cause
or God will march steadily on
After the sermon DR.. David Van Dyke
pastor of the Home Presbyterian Church
OF North Indianapolis, was elected mode.a-
tor and took charge of the session. An
early adjournment was taken last night,
