"Diditev occur 70 you, remarked a
leading citizen to a CHRoNIcLE reporter,
"how much labor is lost every day Of the.
year by allowing the prisoners who are
confined in the jail to lie around Idle all
the time?
"The county could make the Jail sup
port itself by setting the prisoners to work
on the public roads. Some persons might
say that while a mans trial was pending
his guilt not being proven, the county
would have no right to require labor Of
him but my argument is that as long as
the county feeds and houses him he can
be made to work, even L it was necessary
to put in some kind Of a manufacturing
plant which would require no special skill
on the part of the operatives"
Just what kind of a manufacturing
plant which would require no special
skil'' was not stipulated by this vision
airy. Possibly he had in mind factory
to consume dust or a glue-making estab-
lishment. The latter would be less desir-
able in our midst than the dust, noise and
confusion OF the stave factory which was
in operation a few days in.the west end

AN OUTING PARADISE.

Long Island is an undiscovered coun-
ry to a great number of people. Very
few realize that the little line shown
on the large map is one hundred and
thirty-four miles long and of varying
widths up to twenty-five miles. Few
realize that it was the first section of
the United States settled by colonists
from both England and Holland, and
that their towns are to-day full of pic
turesque houses, beautiful avenues of
trees, in fact with all the inland beau
ties and in addition the various attrac-
tions of the seashore.
While the South Shore for a portion
of its length is almost level, the North
Shore is hilly and heavily wooded.
Every portion of the island is we'll
suited for mans abiding place. 1t has

This is the way you do it. Somebody

Whoever starts the game must take
