PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Joseph Hatton, the author and jour
nalist, takes ten-mile walk every day.
President Eliot, of Harvard, says he
considers Herbert Putnam, librarian of
congress, not only one of the best Ii
brarians in the country, but one of ths
best that ever lived anywhere.
Robert Pollok was Scotch religious
poet who lived during the first of this
century (l79S-1S27). His most notable
work was religious poem, 1.-THE Course
of Time" good edition of which can
be obtained of any bookseller.
When Admiral Farragut made b is cell
ebrated tour of the principal ports of
Europe in 1879 he was so mu III ex-
hausted by the festivities of the cruise
that he was obliged to stop for a month
in Port Mahon, Minorca, merely to re.
cuperate.
Hamlet, soliloquizing on death,
speaks of the realm beyond the grave,
1.-The undiscovered country from whose
bourne no traveller returns;" yet he had
repeatedly seen and conversed with one
traveller from the undiscovered coun-
try-his fathers ghost.
The praise which Archbishop Ireland
is receiving in Europe for his eulogy of
Joan of Arc is not the first given him
for treatment of the same subject.
The first prize of the many he captured
during his schoolboy days was for
paper on the maid of Orleans.
A portrait of Lord Kelvin, now on ex-
hibition in London, has been criticised
because the eminent scientists costume
was of rather Anticipated pattern. A
picture of Lord Kelvin stylishly attired
would not be true to life and would
hardly be recognized by the subject.
Many of his admirers have often won
dered how the old gentleman would
look in fashionable suit of clothes.
There is little known record in the
war department which reads: Medal
of honor to Arthur Macarthur for cool
ness and conspicuous bravery in ac-
ton in Selling the colors of his regi-
ment at a critical moment and planting
them on the captured works on the
crest of Missionary Ridge, Tenn, No

RED SHIRTS.
They Are Worn by Convicts of Cali.
fOrnia Who Have Tried
to Escape.

There are men ia the penitentiaries
of California who are favored with red
shirts, but they are not made particu-
larly happy thereby.
When a convict has once worn the
crimson shirt he hopes as ardently as
convict can hope for anything that the
warden will never make him wear it
again. 1t means that he has tried to
escape and failed.
But that is not all. Henceforth he is
degraded man in prison circles. His
time credits are gone. Solitary con-
finement, dungeons, bread and water
may be his portion. He is watched, sus-
pected by the officers, pointed out and
explained" to visitors and newcomers.
Amang the 700 convicts in the jute mill
his red back may be distinguished at
glance. If he be away from there mo-
ment the guards know it. Then the
prison bell rings, the officers assem-
BILE, bloodhounds are unclaimed, and
the hunt begins.
Frank Wheeler, known as "Ohio
Fatty" grows tired of prison life every
few months and walks away in his red
shirt. Originally he had only five years
to serve, but now it is nearer so, and all
the cons glory in his spunk. Ohio
Fatty has walked out of prison five
times in his career-twice from San
Quentin and three times from Sing Sing,
Joliet and bastile in Oregon. He is
now sojourning under the guns at Fol-
som, but he says he would like mighty
we'll to keep an engagement at the Paris
exposition" When he makes up his
mind to leave, red shirts will never
stop him. Nothing less than cooper
minute gatling gun will change his
mind.
These flaming shirts leave an indel-
ible dread upon the convicts. Some Of
the red-shirters at San Quintin are
among the most daring fellows that
ever scaled prison wall, and every
man of them has run the gantlet of
guard and gatling gun. Anybody in
stripes who breaks for liberty is liable
to be riddled with lead within 60 Sec
onds. The convicts know this; but
they also know that beyond the gray
stsne walls there are green hills, and
deep ravines, and-possibly-freedom.
The man who is sentenced to die on
prison colts willing to stake his life for
liberty. His days and nights are spent
preparing for the game. If he wins
the "cons' he leaves behind are jubilant,
and many are the tales of pluck and
luck they will tell in memoriam. AS q
rule, no class of people stand by each
other like veteran ICONS"
down with the devil who gets cold
feet and 'squeals to the warden!'"
That is their slogan.-Detroit Free
Press.

Grandmama had been explaining to
the little girl how our earth is kept
from flying off into infinite space by
the attraction of the sun, which is con-

snow I propose" began Mr.. Dinkey.
He was interrupted at this point by
his auditor, Miss Beacon, of Boston,
who spoke substantially as follows:
"Mr. Dinkey, accuracy of language
demands an explanation at this point.
Do you use the word propose as a
synonym of purpose or in its matri-
monial sense?"
Later developments showed that Mr.
Dinkey used the word in its matri'
monial sense.-Harper's Bazaar.
