Gus states IL is not possible for the na-
tional government TO do more than act
in an advisory capacity, SO TO speak.
The industrial commission recognizes
this fact and In It's report suggests that
the states must come together In the
treatment OF the matter by endeavor-
ing 10 make their respective laws har-
monlze as far as possible, but that IL Is
not possible for all or the states TO OPP
crate their penal institutions under the
same laws.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
national government cannot make laws
covering the manufacture and sale or
articles made in state penal lnstitu-
tiOns IL is believed that under the pow
ers OF congress To regulate Interstate
commerce a law may be passed that
will aid the states In handling the ques-
tion. One OF the greatest stumbling
blocks in the path OF the states which
have attempted 10 minimize the COM
petition OF convict made articles with
like articles made In free" shops has
been the unhampered Introduction OF
convict made goods from other states.
This branch OF the subject has been es-
peclally Investigated by Representative
Gardner OF the commission. Mr.. Gard
ner is OF the opinion that congress has
the power 10 make "A law covering the
point. His idea is that Il law should
be passed by congress making goods
which are the subject OF interstate
commerce subject To the laws of the
state which they enter provided that
those laws apply equally to domestic
products. This would enable the state
which diScriminates against convict
made goods TO discriminate against
those from other states as well as those
made at home. but not 20 impose upon
those from other states any discrimina-
ton beyond what applies To such goods
produced at home. Mr.. Gardner has
been authorized by his associates TO
draw bill embodying this and several
other propositions which he thinks are
worth submitting 10 the test OF the
courts in order TO ascertain whether
they can be. legally carried.
The commission. in its report submit
ted To congress, says that after careful
consideration OF the question OF con-
Wet labor il has formed the following
conclusions:
Provision should he made in the laws
OF each state for the employment OF all
prisoners iR productive labor. The
state should have absolute control OF
the ca.e, punishment, reformation and
employment OF the prisoners AS well as
the disposition OF the products OF the
Industry.
The employment OF prisoners in pro-
ductlYe labor does. OF necessity, result
in competition OF some character with
free labor and industry. The employ
ment OF prisoners with the Intention or
producing revenue, either for the state
exclusively or for private individuals

tends To the greatest competition with
free labor. \ system OF employ

Tuesday came, and the men
who were famishing proposed TO
make their way through the snow
mountains to some settlement,
but Martin Reynolds prevailed on
them to wait
1t was late in the afternoon
when a shrill whistle was heard
far up the road, but it sounded
like music and gave the people
heart.
1t was dark when men reached
the train laden with supplies.
And it was another day before
the train got through to Erie.
The people blessed their deliv-
erer, but he replied that he did
nothing that any other man with
his knowledge would not have
done.
Julia Paulding refused to be.
lieve this. The man had become
a hero for TO her, all the more of
a hero his gentleness and
modesty.
Martin Reynolds often blesses

disaster and brought him such a
a blessing. He thinks the in

won the legal right to protect

Engaged At Once.

He was a freckled faced, foxy
looking boy of 13 or IA, and not
more than about half as big as he
ought to be, but he was wiry and
his eyes were clear. The pro
prietor of the store was in his
Office when the boy entered.
"Do you want a boy here?" ask
ed the youngster, with conf
dence
"What do I want with a boy?"
replied the proprietor, with an
intent to have fun with his Wis
itor.
81 don't know" was the un-
abashed response. 81 guess
they have boys around stores
sometimes, and [ thought you
might want one. "
"Well, since you have mention
ed it, L do"
"What kind Of boy do you
WANT"
The proprietor looked him
over with a more or less suspi-
cious eye.
81 want good boy" he said
slowly.
"Then / won't do" said the
youngster.
"Why won't you do? Are you
a bad boy?',
"Um-um-er,, hesitated the
caller "I'm just boy, that S
all. There's something wrong
with 'em when there're good"
He started out, when the pro
prietor called him back.
"Hold on" he said. Maybe
you are what | want.
"You want a good thing, Pm
ii" +" said the boy, "and you won t
have to push me along, either" "
GLOW much do you want?"

"When can you begin?"
This very minute, if you'll give

ter.

Forbidden on Bills of Fare.

Hereafter at hotels and restau-
rants all over Pennsylvania, no
matter whether in country, city,
town, village or hamlet, theguests
will no longer be given quail, wild
turkey, venison, woodcock or
pheasant to eat, and if it is on the
menu the proprietor of the hotel
or rest aurant is liable to fine of
from S25 to 500. 1t is the law
that the game mentioned cannot
be killed for sale, and even if
given to hotel man or restaurant
proprietor, if he serves them as
a part of meal for which he
takes money, he is liable to arrest
and punishment. This seems
like a very hard law, but the
state game commission says that
as it is the law it will be enforced
and that its enforcement is nee
essary in order to preserve the
game in the state, and that when
once more game becomes plenti-
full, when men no longer shoot to
sell it, there will be no immediate
repeal. The proposition is a
hard one for the hotel men and
others who serve gene, but there
is no getting away from it.

The Beauties Of English OrthOsraphy

A pretty deer is dear to me,
A hare with downy hair
a hart | loved with all my heart,
But barely bear bear.
'Tis plain that no one takes a plane
To have pair of pears,
Although a rake may take u rake
To tare away the tares.
a scribe in writing right may write,
To write and still be wrong;
For write and rite are neither right,
And don't to right belong.
Robertson is not Roberts son,
Nor did he rob Burt's son,
Yet Roberts sun is Robins sun,
And everybody's sun.
Beer often brings bier to man,
Coughing a coffin brings,
And too much ale will make us all,
AS well as other things.
The person lies who says he lies,
When he is not reclining;
And when consumptive folks decline,
They all decline declining.
Quails do not quail before the storm,
A bow will bow before it;
We cannot rein the rain at all
No earthly power reigns DER it,
The dyer dyes a while, then dies
To dye he's always trying;
Until upon his dying bed
He thinks no more of dyeing.
A son of Mars mars many son
And Deys must have their days;
And every knight should pray each

To him who weighs his ways.
'Tis meet that man should mete out

To feed ones future son;
The fair should fare on love alone,
Else one cannot be won.
The springs shoot forth each spring,

Shoot forward one and all;
Though summer kills the flowers it

The leaves do fall in fall.

But you might think it stale;

Martin Reynolds went off and did
the same for emigrant women
and children in the other car.
And so it was that by morning
even the conductor and engineer
having exhausted their own
native resources obeyed him as
if he had a commission TO direct.
All the remaining fuel-it was
not much-was taken back to the
passenger cars, and orders were
given to use it economically.
When daylight came a number
of men, Martin Reynolds in the
advance, succeeded in cutting a
track to the top of the embank-
ment From this point the train
was nearly hidden, and before
and behind, far as the eye ceuld
reach, was one vast snow-level.
Martin Reynolds had learned
that there was food enough on
the train to last the people for
that day; now he saw that many
days must elapse before they
could be reached, if indeed their
whereabouts be learned by those
anxious for their safety.
| wish we had a telegraph OPP
orator and instruments on board,
we might send word where we
are and how we're fixed said the
conductor.
While you're wishing, said the
engineer, 1t costs no more to
wish us out of this scrape. Can't
you see that the telegraph lines
are all down?
Come, men, help me to dig up
one of the wires-all of the wires
said Martin Reynolds, himself
setting the example.
What good will that do? asked
the conductor, working like q
beaver, nevertheless.
am a telegraph engineer, and
understand operating, replied
Martin Reynolds.
But you have no instrument to
send or receive a message.
Trust me, was the reply.
After much shoveling the wires
were found where they had fallen
with the poles.
Quick as a fash Martin Rey-
nolds cut one wire, and kneeling
down placed an end in each corn
er Of his mouth and against his
teeth. He waited for few sec
onds; no current passed through,
so he cast it away.
Another and another wire was
tried with the same result, until
only one remained.
So far Martin Reynolds had
been very calm, but as he raised
the broken ends OF the last wire
to his lips-the wire on which the
fate of so many people depended
his strong hands trembled.
The others watched eagerly.
The wires had been in his mouth
but a few seconds when they saw
his face flush and a glad light
come into his handsome eyes.
Holding the wires against his
teeth, he read:
Who calls?
Lock Haven; who are you? was
the answer.
Cleveland; all the wires to the
southeast are down but this.
Have you any news Of the p. 81 &.
train that left here Saturday
morning?
No, and don't expect to have for
week. Good-by.
Quick as thought Martin Rey-
nolds brought both wires togeth-
er. If the batteries were not
shut off he might win.
Rapidly the edges clicked the
alarm.
Who calls? asked Cleveland.
The p. &. r.. train.
Where are you?
In deep cut north Of Kane.
Women and children in danger.
For Gods sake send
At this instant the circit was
broken, but the news was flashed
of their whereabouts.
Cleveland was two hundred and
fifty miles away, but the people

Victims OF a Hoodoo Hat.

Victims of q HOOdoO Hat.
Speaking of luck, said o New
Orleans insurance man, after
somebody in the crowd had told

queer experience recently With a
straw hat. l bought it one even
ing on my way home and had
walked hardly two blocks after

on and started for the Office, but
as | was crossing Carondelet
street | missed my footing and
fell into partly dug trench. A
sprained ankle was the next re-
suit of that mishap, and when |
came home in a cab my wife held
up her hands in holy horror.
"I believe that's an unlucly
hat! she declared, looking round,
women like, for a handy scape-
goat; every time you wear it you
get hurt! My brother-in-law,
jim, was in the house at the time
and he laughed heartily Give
it to me, he said, and I'll break
the charm. All right, said 1,
and he carried it off. Early next
morning his servant girl brought
it back neatly wrapped up in tis-
sue. Mist Jim says he amt

Of the theatre and was badly

the sinister reputation Of the hat
and, to satisfy my wife gave it

told her to throw it into the trash

"Now comes the really queer
part Of the story. Two or three

The Stalled Train.

Philadelphia & Erie was in the
midst of the wilderness of hills
and forests that is so picturesque
and even grand in the summer
season.
1t was Saturday afternoon, and
the fifty emigrants and travellers
men, women and children-ex-
pected to get into Erie and make
connection with the Shore road
early on the morrow.
1t had been shedding snow
feathers all day from a sky of
leaden gray, that grew more som
bre as night approached.
At midnight the train came to
a stop. The doing people start
ed up, rubbed the glass and look
ed out. The faint light from the
window revealed snow, and only
snow, rising up to the black sky.
Are we at the station?
The question was asked Of the
conductor by low, sweet voice,
and stopping he saw a beautiful
girl. He had noticed her fre-
quently during the day, and rest
ing against her shoulder was an
elderly lady, evidently an inva-
lid.
The conductor stroked his
beard nervously, and bending
over, as if he did not want the
passengers to hear, he said;
There's something of a drift
ahead, miss, but we hope to get
through.
AS he went off with his wire
bound lantern swinging from his
arm, the train began to back and
kept backing till it had gone some
distance. Then came another
stop then another forward move
meut. The putting grew louder,
the speed greater, and the engine,
like a desperate charger under
the spurs of a daring rider,
plunged into the drift that filled
the long cut.
Again the train was brought to
stand, and still in ceaseless de-
scent the snow came down on all
sides.
A tall, mufied man, with a dark
mustache and large, bright eyes,
rose from the seat behind Mrs.
Paulding and her daughter, Julia,
and as he passed them, Julia ask
ed:
Would you please, sir, to let
me know if there is any danger?
Certainly, Miss, replied the
stranger, and as he spoke lifted
his hat and and went to the front
Of the car and out on the plat
form.
Here he met the conductor and
the engineer talking in anxious
tones.
Try it again, jim, urged the
conductor.
But where's the use? We have
no fuel, and the steam is down to
twenty pounds and still a-sink-
ing.
Can'tyou back out of the cut?
asked Martin Reynolds, theyoung
stranger.
Back out of the cut, sir? repeat
cd the engineer, as he drew his
blue sleeve across his swarthy
brow. Why, bless you, the cut
runs back for six miles, and the
snow in parts of it is high as the
smokestack by this time.
How far does the cut extend
ahead? asked Martin Reynolds,
who was the coolest of the three
men.
About two miles, and after
that the road gets worse and
worse.
Are there any farm houses
near here?
No, sir, / doubt if there's hui
man being outside of the train
within ten miles of us, replied the
conductor.
IL is now midnight, said Martin
Reynolds, and | presume nothing
can be done till morning.

anything in the morning. We
must wait till they find us, and
