Sir HAS BEEN FOR YEARS THE

The Story of Jcnnia NTctcalrs life and

The career Of the woman outlaw,

Gon in the Jail at Fort Smith, Ark
The story of her life and crimes is
much stranger than any fiction. She
is now only nineiaen years old, but
her record is so lad that she will

RUSSiA'S PRISON HORRORS
Using Prisoners in Chains as Beasts
of Burden.

Using Prisoners in Chains rs Beasts
of Burden.
The presence of a batch of convicts
IN Odessa, Russia, for deportation to
Saghalien, has occasioned the publica-
ton Of various accounts of the treat
ment received by the prisoners in that
island, and If the numerous stories are
true, Saghalien must be veritable in
ferno. Eyewitness relate that a
common sight is that Of shackled hui
man beings yoked to huge cart whose
weight tries the strength of their I'M
derfed bodies to the uttermost.
These men are demoralized by the
brutality of their surroundings and the
cruelty OF the officials, who are ever
ready to have recourse to the knout
to enforce submission. An attempt
to escape is punished with ten years
extra Imprisonment. and it needs only
one or two failures to break away to
bring about the unfortunate prisoners
residence in this slough of despond"
One form of treatment is the coupling
of the shackles which ensheath pris-
oner's ankles to a wheelbarrCw. This
the victim must drag night and day
for months, perhaps till the iron in
flames the flesh and the legs mortify.
Ills comrades may mercifully soak the
feet and forcibly pull off the bands-a
process which is attended with the
most eXcruciating agony, but which is
| eagerly borne.
The knouting of man is a scene of
har nj
mounted on specially constructed
wooden horse and his back is barred.
The scourge is applied with such vio-
lence that at each stroke pieces OF
flesh are torn away and the blood from
the wounds bespatters the face of the
eXecutioner
Such is the horror of Saghalien that
men and women 60 mad and lunatics
are to be found hiding in quiet places.
All the women are more or less de-
mented Their lot is peculiarly IN
happy. They are given to the bache-
lor convicts-men whom for the most
part they have never seen before. Even
those who are not convicts lose their
reason, as witness the story Of Mile.
Naumofa. This lady had devoted her
life to the rescue OF children in this
unhappy spot, and for years had spread
light and comfort around her, but in
paroxysm Of madness induced by the
soul-torturing surroundings she shot
herself. Her work was taken I'D by
three other ladies; one of these shot
herself, the second went raving mad
and the third married a warder.

THE WIND IN THE EVER
GREENS.

When the drif;ed snow has hidden
Roads and fences from the sight,
And the moon floats through the heav-
ems
Like frozen thing. at night,
Flooding all the frigid stretches with
a ghostly, blush light,
1 like to lie and conjure
Up old half forgotten scenes,
AS the savage wind goes bowling
Through the signing evergreens.
There's cottage I remember.
With an orchard in tae rear;
There's 4 Winding pathway leading
To spring that bubbles near
All, the dipper that 1 drank from bears
the rust of many a year!-
There's a peach tree near the window
OF the room where oft l lay

To the wild wind howl away.

Stretch along the winding lane;
When the gently sloping meadow

And hear the peach tree creaking,
At the corner where it leans,
While the wind goes badly shrieking
Through the mourning evergreens.
When the Illuminating cattle
Stands in bedding to their knees;
When the sheep are warmly sheltered,
When the horses are at ease,
And the kittens in the kitchen are as
happy as you please
When fathers work is ended,
And mother sits and sews,
There's wondrous mystic music
In the angry wind that blows.
All, the rambling little sheepfold's
Weatherbeaten, SO they say;
The horses are no longer
Munching at the fragrant hay
Beneath the old-style kitchen stove no
happy kittens play
And, out behind the village church,
a messy gravcstone leans
Above two mounds Ger which the
