cial line for what they call their stock
yards trade 1t Is In the neighborhood OF
the cattle pens and the stock exchange
where the boot trade hourishes, if 1t can
be said to flourish at all. There is where
the boot retains its ffrmest hold There
1t is made to order to suit the whims and
fancies of the breezy and stalwart west
erners whose tastes in the matter Of dress
are as free and easy as their own manners.
There the boot has a close friend and
companion In the light colored. broad
brimmed sombrero, which refuses to be
the dictates Of tickle fashion. There one
will find high art in boots and some very
elaborate creations are sometimes seen
moving through the corridors OF the live
stock exchange building.
Most fashions in dress are supposed to
originate in Paris, but Paris has no influ-
ence whatever on the styles of the boots

only styles they adopt originate IN the ef-
forts of the skilled workers in leather in q
big cattle market like Kansas City to
please the fancy Of their fastidious patrons.
These men make a speciality Of boots and
saddles and both articles are displayed In

FRANCES NEW PRISON.

The vast new prison of Fresnes, in
France, Is probably the largest estab-
lishment of It's class in the world, and
possesses features of peculiar interest.
1T has been erected in order to take the
place of three other prisons recently
demolished in the city of Paris-name-
1y, Mazas, the Grande Roquette and
Sainte Pelagie.
AS there are a number OF other places,
both in France and Belgium, named
Fresnes, it is as well to note that this
prison is at Fresnes-les-R ungis, about
half a mile from the Berry station of
the Paris and Limours railway and
eight miles from the metropolis.
A very healthy and as yet slightly
populated district has been chosen for
the prison, which extends with it's out
buildings and grounds, for more than
half mile in length along a gently ris-
ing hill, and with a breadth Of nearly
| as much. 1t is surrounded not only by
walls, but by extensive flower beds
now in bright blossom, broad walks
and very neat villa residences for the
principal officers.
Fresnes prison Is not built on the ra-
dating or star form, but consists of
four immense rectangular blocks, with
a fifth block for an infirmary. 1t is
mainly on the cellular system and con-
tains 1924 cells. But, as there is also
provision for four hundred prisoners In
associations, the establishment can re-
ceive 2224 prisoners, besides many of
their officers. Until a recent period all
the prisons of France We're on the as
ISOLATED system; but since the report of
a government commission, twenty-five
years ago, condemnatory of that sys-
tenn on the ground of it's decentralization
and costly tendency to increase CRIME,
imprisonments in general, up to one
year, are in separation. This limit Of
one year Is very safe one; and while
1t practically includes the great majori-
ty of offenders, it does not engender the
health of body or mind. Indeed, Fres-
mes, with it's pure country air, perfect
ventilation throughout, good food, ac-
tive occupation, large and well-lighted
cells, and daily exercise, must consti-
tute veritable santtorium for most of
its inmates, all of whom are men, no
portion of the prison being devoted to
women
One of the special features Of F'resnes
prison Is Its abundant provision for the
entrance of sunshine and air, not only
in the halls and corridors but also in
the cells. The windows in the latter
are of most unusual size for a prison,
being about four feet square. And on
fine day the sunshine streams down
from the lofty skylights-the prison be-
ing of four stories in height, or five
tiers of cells, besides the basement-and
the air both in cell and passage has
free course. Thus the authorities and
inmates of the place derive the full
benefit Of the lesson conveyed by the
