when one entered the old prison one

seemed TO be crowded into small space
and where the file of visitors waiting

overflow into the wardcn's room and

A splendid suite of Offices has now
been provided for the wardens and

they may see their counsel, and still
others where their friends may be
searched before visiting them in their

The Ease of Wrong Judgments.

That is a penetrating sarcasm of George

discriminate the particular shade OF brown,
blue or green to which It really belongs 1t
Is so much easier TO make up your mind
that your neighbor Is good for nothing
than to enter into all the circumstances
that would oblce YOU TO modify that opin-
ion" Everybody needs the suggestion that
is embodied in the above remark. Our
judgments of men are always more or less
defective But 1t Is the man who prdes
himself on his outspokenness, the man who
thinks il would be cowardice TO withhold
an opinion OF men and things, particularly
terance, that needs to learn that blu. or
brown or green Is not black. and that in
nothing u 80 much discrimination needed
