natured thrusts at "his friend Bede''
kept the audience in roar.
The redoubtable J. Adam, took a
short second inning in which he had an
opportunity to parry several of the
Majors shafts.
Mr.. E. S. Gibbs, of St. James, who is
associated in business with Mr.. Bede,
was present and was induced to make
short talk in which he spoke of his
own early life and brought forth a
hearty laugh by telling several "tales
out of school, in which the Major and
Mr.. Bede were prominent factors.
The musical selections, all of which
were by local talent, were very well
rendered and added considerably to the
good feeling engendered by the humor
and pathos of the speakers.
At the conclusion of the chapel exer-

Make a Tour of the Prison.

Yesterday afternoon about one hun

Arriving here at :15 they partook
of lunch in the officers dining room
after which they were taken in charge
by President O'Brien, Warden Wolfer
and Deputy Warden Lemon on trip
to the prison dining halls, cellroom
and shops.
Most of the gentlemen were evil

we supported large police force for a

President Diaz several years ago IN
terviewed famous bandit who was in
prison. The robber informed the pres
ident that his lawless life was the re-
suit of having no work to do. The
president liberated him, made him chief
of police of his native district, which
was one of the worst in the country
and informed him that he would be
held strictly accountable for all the
robberies in his district. From that
day to this not one has occurred.
Moreover the president has appointed
many more bandits to office under sim.
liar conditions, and it is said that they
have, without a single exception, made
successful thief catchers in Mexico.
Here is suggestion which may lead to
the utilization of the train robber, and
his transformation from a highway
man to a useful member of society.

Now that the hardest part of the

to battle against. Scurvy has broken

food is scarce. The only method of
blotting it out is by the introduction of
vegetables, amongst which the modest
Irish potato looms up pre- eminently.
