MRS. CARRIE NATION views her recent con-
viction for saloon smashing in very serious light
She believes the judge, jury and even her own at
torney we're leagued together for her undoing. She
did not deny having smashed the various joints in
fact she gloried in having made rough houses, but
pleaded temporary insanity at the time of the smash
ing Now she denies with adjectives and emphasis
that she insane and calls her late attorney
names for insinuating such thing. Of one of the
witnesses for the Defense she writes follows in The
Smashers Mail:
"A certain lawyer, quite barrister I should

that the street would defend myself against the

country

"When Judge Magaw was put on the stand the
prosecuting attorney took him through a fuliscide

HOW ABOUT 1T?

PROBABLY group of men in the world peruse
the current magazines with more thoroughness or
with more interest than do the inmates of this
prison. A magazine passes from hand to hand here
until it is quite out-often twenty or thirty
read it from cover to cover within the month of
it's circulation There probably is no community
where diverse opinions regarding the contents
of the magazines and weekly publications formed.
Anything readable is very real and tangible in
prison, and many of us would like to discuss what
we read and express opinions on it, but unfor-
tunately this is out of the question.
Should the plan meet with the approval of the
inmates of this institution, The MIRROR proposes to
devote certain amount of space each week to con-
tributions having for their subjects current magazine
articles In this manner interesting discussions on
topics of the moment may be carried and all will
be able to express their views the subject that
most strikes their fancy for the time being We
believe such scheme would be found entertaining
and instructive. It would tend to make men read
thoughtfuy and carefully, and also to digest what
they read It would act as stimulous to mind and
memory, for when writes on subject he is
likely to remember it. The books in the library
might also be dealt with and suggestions offered
to which the best and why they are the best.
This department in The MIRROR will not be
instituted, however unless it is in conformity with
the desire of our readers and contributors.

AMONG the acquisitions to our library is the
most recent work of Emile lola, 'Fruitfulness, the
first of series of four books dealing with what Mr.
lola considers, according to his translator, "the
four cardinal principles of human life" The second
volume of the series will be entitled work" the
third, "Truth and the last Justice.
"Fruitfulness' is the fierce protest of patriotic
against the sefshness and artifciaty of French
life Of the present particularly against the
woman who deliberately places limit on the number
of her offspring. That the author feels deeply on
the subject none can doubt; it would have been
impossible to have painted such masterful vivid
contrasts the book contains did he not. It is the
voice of crying in the Wilderness" the heartsick
prophet portrayng the future of his beloved country
if existing conditions continue to prevail Above ALL
it is essentially French book, written by French
man for the French people. And that calls forth
the question: why translate it into English? Will
it be read by the class of people to whom the author
is appealing? Will it teach it's lesson? We be-
lieve not.
It is unpleasant fact that most of the previous
works of M Zola-all perhaps excepting 'Iourdes,"
"Rome" and "Paris'-have been perused by the
majority of his American devotees not for the moral
lesson they teach but rather for the nastiness
tanned within them. Consequently his readers in
InlS country Will QeVOur MS later productions with
the same end in view and in nine cases out of ten
the lesson will be lost-the volume will be cast aside
as not being up to the standard.
lola has portrayed the vicious and sordid side
of life for such length of time that his hand fails
him when he attempts the beautiful and while
Fruitfulness" is of vastly saner and more health
full tone than ''Nana' or "LAssommoir," for ex-
ample, it is still morbid and IS apt to leave bad
taste in the mouth of the reader. One cannot help
feeling conscious of the effort it cost the writer to
evolve the love of Matthew and Marianne, while the
sordid pictures are SO skfully worked out that the
artist is lost sight of in the creation of his BRAIN
lola is the worlds master at the game of playing
with pitch and it is but natural that some of it has
stuck. He can throw mud upon wall and it COM
mands the world to CAPE but he must needs use his
lungs to call attention to the prismatic colors
flashed back to the sun from the pool in the road
from whence his mud came. To handle the mud as
mud is natural to him, to handle it as possible
Madonna in embryo requires more of the sculptors
instinct than he possesses. To quote lola himself
he is now but an artisan Of corruption and death.

IT LOOKS though the old bachelors of Penn
sylvania might be up against the real thing before
long. Representative Rath of Lehigh has intro
duced bill in the Legislature providing that male
citizen OF the Keystone state forty years of age
who applies for marriage license, shall pay a fee
of 500 to the clerk of courts. The money will be
used by the state to maintain homes for decrepit
ladies who have passed the forty year mark Fur
thermore, any bachelor of forty who shall 60 out
side the boundaries of the state to wed shall like
wise pay his dog tax of $780,
1t is extremely doubtful if the bill will become
law. The women will defeat it. even if the men
are Indifferent, the intmation is that lady
should retire from active life when she reaches the
age of forty. Then too, women are so sentimental
and such law would nip many young romances in
the bud Think of two young people who have been
saving for years to get married being compelled to
pay 500 for the license If the state did the right
thing it would supply license and clergyman free
instead of placing tax on connubial bliss

STORYETTES.
Queer Japanese Belief.

The japanese believe in more
mythical creatures than any other
Poop {. re globe, civilized or
savage. Among .lese are myth
ical animals without any remark
able peculiarities of conformation,
but gifted with supernatural at
tributes, such as the tiger which
is said to turn as white as polar
bear on the date of his one thou
sandth birthday. They also be-
lieve in a species of fox which if it
lives to be SO years old without
having been chased by a dog trans
forms itself into beautiful woman.
This same fox, if he can manage
to live for a century, gains ad-
ditional powers, such as becoming
a wonderful wizard, etc. When
he lives to be 1000 years old, he
becomes celestial fox" with
nine golden tails, and has the
power of going to heaven and re-
turning whenever he chooses.
These Japs also believe in a
multitude of animals distinguished
by their monstrous size or by the
multiplication of their members.
Among these are serpents 800 feet
long and large enough to swallow
an elephant; foxes wit height legs;
monkeys with four ears and seven
tails; fishes with 10 heads attached
to one body, the flesh of this last
monster being a sure cure for
boils, bites of poisonous serpents,
hydrophobia, etc.-Philadelphia

Riggest Gnme Preserre,

The largest game preserve In the
world Is the continent OF Africa, or at
least the greater portion of it-extend-
Ing from the twentieth degree of north
latitude down to the northern borders
OF Cape Colony and Natal This great
scheme was made possible by a treaty
cooperation OF England. Germany,
France. Belgium, Portugal, Italy and
Spain, by which 1t is provided that the
hunting and destruction of vultures,
secretary birds, owls, giraffes, gorillas,
chlmpanzees, mountain zehras, wild
asses, white-talled gnus. Glands and the
little Liberian hippopotamI are abso-
lutely prohibited. Similar protection
is given the young of certain animals,
including the elephant, rhinoceros, hip
popotamus, antelope, gazelle, ibex and
'chevro'ain, and to the adults OF these
species when accompanied by their
young, says a writer in Field and
Stream. Particular stress Is laid on
the protection Of young elephants, and
elephanttusks weighing less than twen-
~ pounds will be confiscated. The eggs
Of the ostrich and many other birds are
protected, but those Of the crocodile,
python and poisonous snakes are to be
destroyed. Even lions, leopards. hyenas,
harmful monkeys and large birds Of
prey may not be slaughtered at the
hunters will. Hunters are required to
take out licenses, and the number OF
animals each may kill Is limited. The
use OF nets and pitfalls Is forbidden,
nor may explosives be used for killing
fish.
The main object OF this vast protec-
tive enterprise is economic, to encour-
age the domesticatlon of the elephant,
zebra and ostrich and to husband the
trade In wild animal products, which
was threatened by the rapacity Of
market hunters and so-called sports
men.
