Samuel Howard, her pilot, slipped
and fell on the pavement in front of

recovered consciousness, passing a

Of age, and had passed upwards of
half century upon the seas. He
was an Irishman by birth, ran away
from home when only rs, and came
to the United States, whence he
cruised to all parts of the world.

Lava has flowed into some OF

What can have been the history oi
this prehistoric race or what can
have caused their disappearance, can
only be conjectured.
Unlike the ancients of other lands
these people have not left CON-
plete record Of their glory and their
downfall and whether it was the re-
suit of climatic conditions or great
upheavals or whether they were
supplanted by more warlike and

they were highly developed, how
ever, in agriculture, which is the

the evidences which they have left.

When a young man reaches q

needed. II our young men can on
" be induced to believe that the
road to success lies through hard
work and integrity, they will have

should apply himself to some legit-
innate line Of cffort-block out q

not be long before he will notice

It matters little how competent q
warden may be, if his staff Of assist
ants is selected by the managers of
political parties, the result cannot
fail to be disappointing, if not dis
asterous. When this is coupled
with inadequate funds. SO that con-
victs must be employed in import
ant duties about the penitentiary,
murder sooner or later must result.
The system is bad in itself, not be-
cause it is democratic or republi-
can, for every party has followed
precisely the same course, and if
one administration has been more
fortunate than another, it has been
due vastly more to good luck than
to good management. Every man
who goes to work in penitentiary
must learn the routine of duties.
If he started in at the bottom with
the certainty that service and a good
record would procure him advance
ment, and if he at the same time
knew his position was secure so
long as he filled it worthily, in the
course of time staff would be built
up second to none any where. Any
other plan is makeshift in whose
wake must follow dreadful crimes.
