Early in the morning someone passing along heard a great splashing of water in the cell and open ed the door to see what was going on. The old man was cleaning house. He had gathered up all the mattresses into
 one corner. by the hydrant. and had them soaking. The floor was drenched. or rather flooded, and many impurities which had not been suspected were floa ting on the surface. Don't bother me- said the old man. this is the house cleaning season.. He was put | into a dryer cell and the mattresses were taken out and spread upon the wood pile. If the weather continues sunny they will be dried out in a month
 or two. A trusty was taken out of the | jail to finish up the work of house. l cleaning, which had reached such a | stage that it could not be abandoned.
