Poetic Justice,

81 saw poetic justice overtake a fat
man the other night" said broker in
Cotton Exchange alley. "He was one
OF those jowled popeyed fat men who
always spread their napkins over their
paunches like bibs and tuck one corner
under their collars before they begin
to devour their meals, and the way the
sin of this particular specimen found
him out was very amusing. I was
sitting over late supper in a cafe on
the other side of Canal-street when the
gentleman in question came toddling
in with lady on his arm and took
possession of AL adjacent table. A
waiter hustled up to take his order and
incidentally laid a napkin across his
knee, but, owing to his girth, he
couldn't see it distinctly, and in fum-
bling around with his hand he got hold
of the corner of the tablecloth. I was
watching him out of the tail of my eye.
and saw him raise the cloth to his
throat and wedge it securely under the
band of his collar. For some unknown
reason men who are addicted to the
bib habit always make point of at
tacking their necks as if they expected
them to remain there for all time, and
this gentleman took particular pains
to see that there was no chance for a
slip. Then he proceeded to order the
repast.
"The first thing they served was tur-
tie soup, and the two guests had Just
began to discuss it when i'm bustled
another lady, who evidently belonged
to the party and had been delayed en-
route. AS soon as he clapped eyes on
her the fat gentleman uttered joyful
chortle and scrambled hastily to his
feet. AS he did so he took the entire
cloth with him, and nearly deposited
two plates of hot soup, bowl Of sliced
tomatoes, bottle of oil, flagon of
vinegar, stack Of bread, a cruet of
pepper, and miscellaneous assortment
of cutlery in his companions lap.
have lOnged for camera on divers and
sundry occasions, but never with such
a poignant yearning as I lOnged for
one right then. wanted to secure a
snapshot of large, portly gentleman
standing erect, dumfounded, horror
stricken and transfixed with a table
cloth fastened around his neck. a fore
ground of soup, background of hys-
terical females. 1t would have taken
f1rst money at any amateur contest on
earth. New Orleans Times Democrat.

gether like basketry, not only was cloth
made, but something that primitive
man could put up for sail, and rig
with plated cordage.
Shipping was born then, and how
great has been the civilizing influence
OF traffic and travel. But more quick
ening was the impulse then felt to
harness the forces of nature, or, as
Emerson says, to hitch our wagon to a
star. Perhaps man had already learned
to get power from other muscles than
his own. If he had, be sure he could
not have tanned the first wild OK with
out the knot.
That basketry came before pottery
is proved by the fact that its ornamen-
tation is copied in primeval pots.
From pottery came not only porcelain
and glassware, but iron hollow-w ware.
The iron teakettle, with it's lid dan
cling on the pressing steam, set another
boy to thinking, and his name was
Watt. You know the rest of his story.
But lest the boy that tied the knot get
too far from our thoughts, remember
the lad whose tedious task it was to
turn on and off the cocks that let
steam to the cylinder of the first old
mine pump when he longed to be off
birds nesting. He rugged up an ar
rangement with piece of cord by
which the engine itself did his work,
and thus the principle of the auto
matte cutoff was born. 1t was the
child of thought that came to the savage
when he harnessed the wind to his
canoe.
He could only use the wind when it
was going his way, but it was his
thoughts that gave us the ocean gray
hounds that go against wind and tide.
Nevertheless, still further back we
must go, for all that makes the engine
move, except the fire, came from the
knot the boy learned how to tie, sitting
out there in the sun long ago, "fooling"
with long strands of grass.

Not Work, but Worry.

1t is not the work, but the worry.
That wrinkles the smooth, fair face,
That blends gray hairs with the dusky.
And robs the form of its grace;
That dims the lustre and sparkle
OF eyes that were once so bright,
But now are heavy and troubled,
With weary, despOndent light.
1t is not the work, but the worry,
That drives all sleep away,
AS we toss and turn and wonder
About the cares of the day,
Do we think of the hands hard labor.
Or the steps of the tired feet?
All! no, but we plan and ponder
How to make both ends meet
1t is not the work, but the worry.
That makes us sober and sad,
That makes us narrow and sOrdid,
When we should be CHEEKY and glad.
There's shadow before the sunlight,
And ever cloud in the blue.
The scent of the roses is tainted.
The notes of the song are untrue.
1t is not the work, but the worry.
That makes the world grow old.
That numbers the years of the children
Ere half their story is told;
That weakens their faith in heaven
And the wisdom of Gods plan.
Ah! it's not the work, but the worry,
That breaks the heart of man.

written for The Prison Mirror.
Many criminals after showing a dis
position to reform and lead sober and
industrious lives, shortly after regain
ing their liberty, fall back into the old
groove once more. Why is this? 1t
is my purpose in this article to show
why this happens in some cases, al
though l do not pretend to explain the
reason in all cases.
There are various reasons why so
many men drift gradually into GRIM
inal life. The most important are,
total incorrigibility, lack of education,
irregular habits, physical disease and
last but most important, lack of any
liked profession or trade.
We will pass total incorrigibiIity by
with small ceremony, for being an op-
timist in all things and from personal
experience 1 have come to believe
there are very, very few who are ac-
tually beyond the reach of any refin-
ing influence.
We will take lack of education first;
next to lack of a fixed employment, 1
believe this to be the most potent fac
tor in determining mans career for
good or bad. 1 believe that education
should be compulsory. An ignorant
criminal looks on his keepers as per-
sonal enemies, and when he is forced
TO adopt regular and industrious hab-
its, he sullenly submits, secretly look
ing forward in dim way to ven
geance on a monster of his own
imagings called society"
But when he is educated, whether he
will or no, as natural result he reads.
He learns. This learning awakens a
desire for more knowledge. Life takes
On new meaning for him. And as
he masters the rudiments of the phi
losophies, sciences, religions, he begins
20 realize that he is only very small
unit in great social fabric. He sees
that this thing called society is a
mighty organization whose name is
legion. A great machine complicated,
resourceful, ever vigilant. He sees
what blind idiocy it is to try to fight
against this single handed. He sees
that if he rebuffs society, society will
rebuff him. If he smiles upon society
it will smile in return with an iron
hand and with compound interest
Now all this is good; the criminal
may be desirous of reforming and full
of high hopes and ideals, but if he is

The book canvasser had square jaws,
but so had the woman at the door.
And there was sinister look about
her lips.
"But, madam" he tried to say.
IL don't want none of your old
books" she snapped.
"But this is on Social Manners
and"
"Git Out!' said the woman, taking a
tighter hold on the broom.
"Well," said the book agent, sits just
as the lady next door said"
"What did she say?" asked the wom-
an at the door, her face showing signs
