A Convict's Moral Code.

The leading article in recent issue
of the Monthly Record, published at
the state prison, is entitled 1.-The Bor-
derland" and is written by No. Is II
and has decidedly religious tone.
Five rules for conduct are laid down,
and the author saws they are princi-
pies by which his life is governed:
a. If possible, be well and have a
good appetite. II these conditions
are yours, the battle of life is already
half won. Many heart and soul trou-
bles arise really in the stomach, though
it may seem strange to you.
O. Be busy. Fill the hours so
full OF useful and interesting work that
there shall be no time for dwelling on
your troubles, that the day shall dawn
full of expectation, the night full full
of repose.
(3.) Forget yourself You never
will be happy if your thoughts cou-
stantly dwell upon yourself, your own
PROJECTIONS, your own shortcomings,
what people think of you, aud so on.
a. Expect little. Expect little Of
life, not too much Of your friends.
(5,) Trust in God. Believe that
God is, that He really knows what is
best for you believe this truly, and the
bitterness is gone from life. Hart.

How Senator PETER Made Little Fortune
-Creditable View of His Once.

-Creditable View of His ONCE.
1t is said that PETER made money IN
the Senate. He lived in very fru-
gal style. For the term his salary
was $50, 900; he received $2lO0 mile
age and $50 on stationery account.
His wife or daughter was his private
secretary, for which he received dur-
ing the term $1,000. Another member
of the family was borne on the pay
roll of the Senate, and as $1,000 per
annum is moderate salary for Sen
ate employe, let it go at that-$6000.
Thus the PETER family received from
1891 TO 1897 the sum of S46, $50. Add
to this the amount the senator received
for contributions to newspapers and
you have snug little fortune. 1t is
not to his discredit that he saved
his money. 1t is to his credit, on the
other hand, that he looked on senate
rial life AS a serious business, aud not
as Il continuous junket. He was never
seen about the ticker that recorded
the stock prices on the Wall street en-
change. He attended no swell recep-
tions. He was not known in places
haunted by the diplomatic corps. If
he went to the seashore it was to re-
store his health, not for n good time.
All his life he had labored. He was q
farmer, and so painstAking, you mag
be sure that when he shucked an ear
of corn he left not one silk on the
grain. He was a school teacher, and
you may be sure he kept the lazy pu-
pills on the move. He was soldier
and did his duty. He studied law in
the camp, was admitted to the bar III
1865, and for long time practiced his
profession and edited two newspapers
the while. The greatest calamity that
ever befell letters was that Thackeray
did not have the ceaseless industry
of PETER. Intellectually it is long
step down stairs from Jim Lane or
John ]. ingalls, to William A. PETER,
but there were many worse senators
than PETER in the Fifty-second, Fifty
third and Fifty-fourth Congresses.

breakfast at the tea house or restaur.

meat rolls or patties. They are
dipped in vinegar, soy or a solution of
red pepper, when eaten. Sometimes
the steamed rolls, after thew have
grown old, are made palatable by
being toasted on grill over char
coal fire. Another popular dish is
doughnut fried in oil. Baking is al
most entirely unknown, but there is a
cake OF the size and shape of an OK
rib, which is baked by being stuck on
the inside of a jar shaped furnace, in
which there is hot charcoal fire.
These cakes are sometimes circular.
but in every case they are covered
with the seeds of the sesame. which
add very much to the flavor. Another
variety is large, round cake cooked
on griddle, and which is divided
into quarters when offered for sale.

similar cake, of which they are also
very fond, without using any pork
fat. tA

you can" Then turning to Harry
again, he said, pleasantly, as if moth
ing had happened:
''Mr. Briarwood, there are lady
and gentleman waiting outside who
would like TO look at this room, il you
are prepared to receive visitors now. "
We all stood mute and awkward
while the proctor, after receiving q
puzzled, but gracious assent from
Harry. turned and spoke to some one
outside the door.
''Mr. Briarwood," he said, re.enter-
ing, followed by the two strangers,

before. He wished his sister to see
his old college room. 1t is the first
time she has ever been to the college.

usually so noisy here. The boys were
having little frolic tonight"
One by one we skunk silently out

handsome brother, by whose side she
shood chatting graciously with Harry
and looking coldly at Us from under
half disdainful eyelids.
We said little more to one another
that night, but we all wondered, and
wonder still, how much of that racket
she ever heard. She had come to
c., early for her first class day,
for she had been studying abroad for
the last three years and so had missed
her brothers spread. But she had
wanted to see his old room, now Briar-
woods, and had stumbled upon our
joke.
No, it didn't get around the college.
1 don't know whether Harry himself
ever quite understood it. You see,
we naturally did not care to have it
noised around much, for even Good
rich agreed that the joke wasn't ex-
actly on Briarwood.
On, yes, her name really was Rose.
Thorne had written it on the photo
because its resemblance to her was so
perfect. We saw it still more plainly
on class day, when she wore big
leghorn hat as she walked about the
yard with Harry, the lucky dog! We
hung around them anxiously, the
whole crowd of us, hoping for an in
PRODUCTION. but neither of them paid
any attention to us. That was only
Harry's freshman year. You should
have seen him at his own class day.
What's that? OF course, he did.
Harry always got whatever he tried
for, in college aud out. Besides, hadn't
Thorne himself agreed that "fnding
was hsving?" l rather think that
Harry found something worth having
on class day evening. 1t looked so.

Third Fleet of Transports Sails
From San Francisco.
FOUR THOUSAND MEN ON BOARD
Thrilling Scenes as the Ships Pass Out
the Golden Gate - General Mer-

ably Sail Tomorrow.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 2s.-Another
fleet of transports has sailed out through
the Golden Gate to the broad Pacific.
Yesterday afternoon the third fleet Of
vessels loaded with soldiers and sup
plies for the Philippines hoisted anchor
and amid the screeching of hundred
whistles, the changing of bells and the
booming of cannon proceeded down the
bay toward the ocean and BY night
viii be well on their way to the Philip
pines.
The orders to get under way were is
sued shortly after noon, but IL was
nearly 2:30 o'clock before the anchors
Of the transports were hoisted and the
propellers set in motion. The first move
ment of the vessels comprising the fleet
was the signal for the crowds which
had gathered along the docks to COM
mence cheering the departing soldiers
and for the steam whistles along the
city front to scream their goodbys to
the ships and men. Tugboats. yachts,
small craft Of all kinds lowered around
the big steamers, and some even went
close enough to permit their passengers
throwing oranges and other things to
the soldiers gathered on the decks Of
the transports. The scene on the trans
perched in the rigging like so many in
sects, and handkerchiefs and flags wav-
ed aAd fiuttered from every portfolio
and spar. AS the vessels proceeded
slowly down the bay the noisy demon
strations on the shore increased until
the din was awful, and added to the
noise of whistles and bells was the
booming of many cannon from the bat
teries at Fort Mason.
The ships which left yesterday car
ried about 1000 men under command OF
General Arthur Macarthur. who has
made the steamer Indiana his flagship
The City of Para, the Ohio and the Nor
gan City were the other vessels to sail
with the Indiana. The steamer Valen-
cia was not ready for sea yesterday and
