reform instead. 1t is q thousand
times less trouble to kill bad
man or lock him up for life than
it is to make good man out of
him. The best man who ever
lived never advocated the killing
OF men or the sending of them to
prison, and his last act was to
bless a robber. And he was abus-
ed, malinged, misunderstood and
finally crucitied by the people he
came to help. There are not many
of his followers who work in his
manner. They ask starving
man to do days work for scant
meal-that is charity. They in
vent new crimes in order to send
Ignorant men to prison-that is
justice; and then make out of
them machines from which to
draw revenue-that is reformation
and finally turn them loose with
a seven dollar suit of clothes and
the brand "eX-convict"-that is re-
storing them to society.-Prison

MR. RUST GETS ALETTER.
Delayed Because Addressed to Him Under
His Chemical Name.


His Chemical Name.
As curious letter as has been re-
ceived In Kansas City for many months
reached the postofice recently, and after
g great display Of learning on the part
of some Of the clerks il was finally de-
Iivered to the man for whom it was in
tended The distributing clerk who first
got hold of the letter looked at it in
despair. 1t was plainly evident that the
writer of the letter had been burning
the midnight oil IN an attempt to battle
The postoffce force.
The first line contained the letters
s'J. S. FE2O3." The letters were plain
enough, but what did they mean? The
next Iiue began with a large A, then
there was a carefully executed drawing
of what had the appearance Of a bar
berAs comb, then a small a. and finally
a representation of house, drawn by
one whose early education had been sad
ly neglected.
What should have been the third line
of the address was In the shape Of a
more or less accurate map Of Kansas
City, showing the junction Of the streets
In that vicinity. The last line was an
other map, showing the boundaries OF
the state of Missouri
1t was plain enough that the letter
was for some one who lived in the state
of Missouri and in Kansas City. 1t did
not take a great stretch of imagination
to discover that the comb and the sketch
of house had some Tague reference to
the Acoma building. So Far it was easy
sailing, but who was the mysterious 81.
S. FE2O3?"
After pulling his brain for long
time, without any good resul& the clerk
took the letter to Night Clerk Garfield,
who is supposed to be able 20 guess all
sorts of conuEarums.
81 can tell you part Of it, said he.
"Tean tell you that 'FE2O3' are the
chemical symbols for ferric oxide. Now
if you can find out who he is you are all
right -
Still the distributing clerk was unable
TO solve the question. He went about
asking every one what he knew about
ferric oxide. He finally encountered one
man who was more Of a chemist than
the others, and he impaired to him the
information that ferric oxide In common
parlancs is called trust. y
That is how J. S. Rust received the
letter over which his friend il Concep-
tion, Mo-. had spent SO much time

LESSON 7.

q. When did William Henry Eustis
attain greatness, when he was elected
to the board Of directors Of the Guar
anty Loan or when he became mayor
Of Minneapolis?
A. His greatness grew on him. His
work as director commended him to the
members Of the Minneapolis council.
Q. What distinguished him as a d.
rector?
A. His capacity for not knowing
what was going on.
Q. Is a director for a corporation
not culpable if he permits the public
to be robbed by that corporation?
A. Most certainly
y. If he doesn't know what is going
on, is he not chump among directors?
A. He is.
Q. Has William Henry been accused
Of being a chump?
A. Not to any great extent.
Q. Did the Ortonvtlle Journal man
lose $4,000 in the Guaranty Loan while
Eustis was director of the corpora
ton?
A. He proclaims it aloud that he
did.
Q. Has Eustis made any attempt to
explain the loss of the money?
A. He has not William Henry
knows the futility of trying to explain.
