A DREAM THAT
WORKED.

This is a yarn I heard at James
town, n. D., in the autumn of
'91-the year of the big crop,
when money wasplentiful and gam
blers and "blind pigs" were reaping
harvests in the rural districts.
Early one evening several of us
we're in a resort kept by one
"Red' Gleason. We were play
ing poker. "Baldy George" had
just won a jack pot on four aces
and Gleason accused him of being
assure thing, tin-horn man, because
he always played close game.
We all pushed back our chairs
and took a recess, awaiting the
advent of more players, and Glea-
son told the following yarn:
"Boys,' he commenced, II had
a dream last night. dreamed
that I was dead and on my way to
heaven. Peter stopped me at the
gate and asked me my name, &C.
cupation and place of residence.
[ told him my name was Red
Gleason, that [ was gambler by
profession and that [ lived at
Jamestown, n. D. 4 am sorry,
said Peter, but you can't come in
here. No gamblers are allowed
in heaven. They breed corrup-
ton. You will have to go below
where it is a little warmer than
here So [ went below and found
it very warm there. The place
was full of gamblers and all kinds
of games we're in progress. [
found a chair close to the door
and sat down, but old Nick told
me it was reserved for Hank and
pushed me out.
''In a short time Badly came
along and asked to be admitted
into heaven. Peter asked him
he same questions he asked me.
Badly George, gambler from
jamestown, N. d. I heard him
answer. All right said Peter
smiling, walk in and make your
self at home Hold onv I cried.
1t isn't fair to admit one gambler
to heaven and send the other be-
low 1T is all right said Peter.
Badly is not gambler. He
only thinks he is, but there is no
harm in him.

men have spent the best years Of
their life in this labor and are now
no nearer the solution Of the ques-
ton than they are to the north
pole. But I believe the student
of penology will solve the ques-
ton in time, if the attention of the
nation is weakened to the i'm
portance Of creating a standard of
morality that will surpass the past
history of any race or nation.
Japan, an infant of the present
civilization, has astonished some
penologists in the reform methods
adopted to affect it's criminals.
England, through her ticket of
leave system is the inventor of
our parole law. Under the old
transportation laws, whereby men
were thrown on their own re-
sources in a strange land, reform
was more effective than it is now,
and in the lists of the new aris-
tocracy might be found names of
men who left their country for
their country's good. They have
become honored and trusted
citizens in their country, without
any of the systems or aids we use
in the present any. AS theory is
a harmless explosive to handle, I
had some intention Of using a little
of it to give my idea of how re-
form might be effected, and the
expense of keeping police and
judges be avoided, but time will
not permit much less the chair
man who I see is becoming un-
easy. Therefore, I will conclude
with the familiar quotations, cit is
never too late to mend"

upon the transactions Of great
gambling centers in the principal
cities of the nation, and while
dollars are heaped high in vaults,
morality is an unknown coin. AS
result, in many instances, the
sense of morality and of justice
becomes weakened in some, while
others observe the great inequality
of justice and hopelessness of
reform while such conditions exist.
I do not think I exaggerate in
this question. In fact the reform
agitation going on in our large
cities within the last few years
has brought to light such con-
ditions of crime and immortality,
that many truly Christian people
were shocked to know they had
such wickedness in their midst.
In New York, Chicago, st. Louis
and almost every large city where
investigation has thrown it's
searchlight, crime, corruption and
hypocrisy have been revealed.
not alone in the slums, but in
the official realm which is sup
posed to have the shaping and
enforcement of morality in its
charge. Ifsuch are the conditions,
how can the student of penology
expect to effect reform by the ap-
plication of discipline upon the in
mates of a penal institution?
There are many advocates of
severity as conducive to reform
and as result many states have
enacted laws both cruel and un-
christian, not in revengeful way,
but as a method Of effecting a
higher standard of morality in the
commonwealth. And [ need
hardly point to the ever increasing
census of penal institutions to
prove it's failure.
AS to the present systems in
practice in the most progressive
states of the nation, they are by
no means new. In fact, the re-
formatory plan is taken from the
reform school, or refuge plan, of
forty years ago, and penal insti-
tutions today are adopting the
same methods reformatories
adopted years ago. Shortly after
the civil war, reform schools or
refugees were considered as a
method of preventing or lessening
crime. Education was introduced,
trades were taught as means of
reformation, and as in the indie
terminate sentence law Of today,
liberty was dependent upon the
conduct of the inmate. Strict
discipline was enforced, and the
boy or girl was made to assume
the appearance of perfection
whether they felt it or not. Under
this discipline, and sundry bars of
soap, the change was apparent at
once. Bright faces and sparkling
eyes appeared, instead of the
hungry emaciated faces of a
Squeer's school, whose moral
strengthing diet was mush. But
nearly half century has passed.
and what do we find as result of
this system Of reform? Among
that class which penologists term
habitual criminals, and for whom
these new old laws are enacted. we
learn from reliable sources that
over two-thirds are graduates of
the so-called reform school. And
men who have studied the ques-
ton for years make the statement
that if a true census we're taken,
nearly half the present inmates of
penal institutions have taken the
reform cure in early youth. If
such are the results, we must adj
NIT that the methods adopted to
reform the boy were a failure.

PENOLOGY.
Paper Read Before the ChdlnduQtd Circle.

Paper Read Before the Cha,tauqua Circle.
Penology has within the last
few years become study Of deep
interest among a class OF society
that has the welfare of it's fellow
men and society at heart. Pencil
ogy or reform, is a subject which
has engaged the attention of many
great thinkers in almost all ages
of the world. We find evidence
from the records of the Egyptians,
Greeks and even the Chinese,
of attempts having been made to
solve the problem of placing
society on what may be termed a
sociological equipoise, and also
improve the conditions Of those
who have fallen short in the re-
uuirements of the law. AS re-
suit, progress has improved greatly
on the surroundings and physical
conditions of men in such insti-
buttons. But moral perfection is
very far from being realized, even
in this enlightened century.
Penology bears striking re-
semblance to Christian science,
because it requires great deal of
faith to believe in a cure. And
very frequently, as in the faith
method, there is a sad failure. l
do not wish to depreciate the
value of this branch of study, be-
cause | consider it one of the
most important factors of future
civilization wherein reformation
will be examplifed and not sur
missed as it is in the present
century.
In the first instance, the study
of penology will enlighter society
as to the present conditions among
that class which causes friction
between men, and the law and
society will, in time, obtain a
knowledge Of the causes that
eventually lead to such conditions.
And the individuals who may
through adverse circumstances or
moral weakness lose their position
in the social world will not be
classed as they are at the present
day, in the category of wild men
or dangerous animals.
While a casual study of physi-
ognomy and institutional systems
may be beneficial to the student
of penology, it will not enlighten
him as to the cause of the evil,
and [ should advise the perolo-
gist to seek beyond the barred
gates of penal institutions for the
causes which lead to such results.
I think he will find in the con-
ditions of society sufficient reasons
to puzzle him as to which class is in
direst need of reform. I would not
intimate that society is corrupt or
in need of the Bertillon cure, but
I most assuredly believe that in
this century dollars and cents
have greater effect upon shaping
our civilization and morality than
any other ingredient in the CO.'S
mos of humanity. Whenever the
dollar is elevated as the standard
of a people, their morality will
remain a secondary consideration /;
injustice, crime and criminals
will increase instead of decreasing.
At the present day education is
considered as an important factori in
reform, and it may be beneficial.
But as a whole the people today
are better educated and all classes
are obtaining more knowledge than
has ever been attained before. It
is due to our school systems, our
free libraries and newspaper cir
culation. A large majority of the
people are becoming familiar with
many phases in our business world
