Is There Need For Prison Reform

Editor of the Morning News: The
reply to this question is certain TO be
heard in the near future. A resolution
to investigate the convict system was
introduced into the House, and not
outstanding vigorous opposition it
passed by an overwhelming majority.
All that is needed is, that the people
learn the truth as to the methods pur-
sued in the state, or In the county
convict camps, and there will come a
popular demand for complete and rad
zeal change.
Inc people are sometimes careless or
tilulHerent, but there is too much of
.n.eillgence and good feeling to long
ip1eIIrlt cruelty toward any class Of de-
unquents. even though they may seem
'egond the pale of human effort. -
slore any real progress can be
noped Tor, we must agree upon some
LnInon ground of effort; we must
INV Just what is desirable, and then
may proceed to its attainment. The

ane of the two darkies. who engaged
him in conversation. While they were
talking the third negro came along
and. as If by accident, kicked a pocket
book on the sidewalk in front Of the
two. He reached down instantly and
nicked up the pocketbook. exclaiming
that il was his, as he had found it.
He opened 1t, and the eyes of the rail-
road negro grew big when he saw a
500 bill within. His companion told
the third negro that he would report
him to the police unless he divided his
find with them. and that individual
finally consented" to make the divis-
ion. In making the division some
change was necessary. The railroad
negro was persuaded to turn over his
$50 to the third man. to help in MAX
ing change. Then a slight dispute arose
as to the division, and the third negro
said he would have to break the
bill before an equitable division could
be had. lie stepped off to get the
change. He carried with him the 800
bill (Which is supposed to have been
bogus) and the S52 in genuine money.

MYSTERIOUS ANIMAL.

Brady went down to Long Cane Sun

of that locality very much agitated
over some very remarkable tracks. He
himself examined the tracks, and
found them to be at least six inches
across, and as far apart as if made
by a horse. He knows of no animal
which makes such tracks. From the
depth of the tracks they must have
been made by some heavy animal The
