IOWA SHORTY'S ESCAPE.

While strolling through one of
the principal thoroughfares of
Minneapolis two or three years
ago, [ was startled by a resound-
ing slap on the back, and a fami-
liar voice shouted, Hello, Slimp'
Facing about, I gazed on the
familiar features of my old friend,
Iowa Shorty.
After exchanging the usual
greetings, Shorty informed me
that he had been in the employ of
Herman J. Fink & Co., in the ca
pacity of travelling optician, and
that he had succeeded in separat-
ing about seventy-6ve dollars from
the people of the neighboring
towns. Furthermore he had come
into Minneapolis to have a elbow
in" as he expressed it.
"Well, we are not going to stand
here and die, are we? Come on in
and have something said Shorty,
as he distracted a half consumed
cigar from his clothes and rubbed
the charred end against the palm
of his hand, preparatory to taking a
fresh chew; this object being ac-
complished to his satisfaction, he
deposited liberal quantity of the
''snipe" in his mouth and restored
the residue to it's former place in
his vest pocket.
When sober, Shorty is a mild
hammered man that likes to 90
through life with as little annoy-
ance as possible. There is moth
ing remarkable about this when
you take into consideration the
fact that Shorty only stands about
four feet nothing in his bare feet,
built in proportion. But when
drunk he has exaggerated ideas of
his pugilistic abilities that would
be unbecoming even in Jim jeff
ries.
Well, we sauntered into the first
wet-goods establishment we came
to, and started to consuming beer
by the schuper. In the course of
a couple of hours it became ap-
parent that Shorty was getting in
toxicated. I heard him make the

be getting the better of The argu-
ment, when his opponent turned
tail and ran down an alley, with
Shorty after him.
Now the central police station
of Minneapolis, as many of us
have occasion to know, is located
in an alley; and this was the
Identical place that this sprinter
was making for. He ran into the
police station and shouted "pro-
lection" Shorty right in after him.
A big six-foot cop clawed Shorty
and never let him stop running
until he was safely locked in cell.
It was possibly half an hour be-
fore I found the police station. [
inquired if my friend had been
arrested, giving a description of
him.
"See if that's him in number
nine" said the sergeant.
[ looked into number nine and
there was Shorty stretched out on
bench, sound asleep. His
dreams doubtless going back to
his adolescence where the sawbuck
stood out in hideous recollection.

startling assertion that he was the
champion short weight of the
world. Furthermore he said he
could lick any man in Minneapolis,
and as evidence Of his good faith
he offered to fight any man in the
house. Nobody called the bluff
for a while. But Shorty became
so persistent, that at last he was
accommodated. A giant Swede
offered to go against him.
The fight was brief and aggres-
sive. Shorty led off with the left
and landed a blow that wouldn't
have broken an egg. The Swede
got in right swing on the jaw
that deposited the short man under
table. He quickly came back,
however, only to receive another
cracker on the same feature, and
Shorty went down and out. He
quickly recuperated though, and
we both took air.

I stopped at cigar stand to light

I perceived that my friend was

FIRST LESSONS IN CRIME.
5E7S25E757515757!
$4,000

Written for The Prison Mirror.
One of the first lessons in crime
is to learn what constitutes crime.
Many persons define crime as the
doing of that which is. prohibited
by criminal law. This definition
is wrong, for the reason that it
assumes or presupposes all law to
be just and beneficial; whereas,
circum stances under which law
may be a worse crime than the
crime subject to it, is often shown
to be a fact. In such cases the
crime lays in upholding the law,
not in breaking it.
There is but one concise defni-
ton of crime and that is, doing
that which is of itself unjust and
injurious, or the results of which
are injustice and injury. This is
the only definition of crime which
is worthy of acceptance by the
student of criminology. The idea
that an act is a crime because a
law makes it a punishable offense
is not worthy of a moments con-
sideration. Circumstances and
conditions make an act criminal
or justifable.
To make my meaning plain, let
me take an extreme case. The
taking of human life in self-de-
Tense is admitted to be justifable,
whereas the taking of human life
for other purposes than self-de-
Tense, is a crime. Therefore, we
must admit that as far as the act
is concerned, circumstances under
which the act is committed make
it a crime or justifable act.
There is but one law which can
be relied upon as infallibly just,
and that is the law of Nature
which holds the universe in equi-
poise and needs none Of our as
sistance in meeting out punish
ment for disobedience to it's man.
dates.
There was at one time chap
lain of this prison for whose su-
perior insight and just conclusions
[ held high regard until upon a
certain occasion he visited me in
my cell and the subject of capital
punishment for murder somehow
got tangled into the religious sub
ject of our conversation and he
said that he didn't believe in cap
ital punishment, but that he would
sit as juror trying a case where
person was charged with murder,
and if the evidence showed be-
yond any doubt that the prisoner
committed the crime charged in
the indictment, he would certain
ly write the word guilty upon the
ballot which he cast, knowing that
his act. would be the means of
hanging the prisoner. And in
justification of SO doing, he said
that las a citizen I ought to up
hold the law"
