tracts on their hands bid eagerly FOR his
services. Youtsey was not allowed to do
the work for which he was fitted, but was
put to shOveling coal in the furnace rooms,
with seven big negroes, most of them muir
derers. These black-brutes, most people
would call them-these black convicts had
kindness in their hearts to which the
Grand Inquisition of Kentucky is a strang-
er. They told Youtsey to 'go through the
motions" and they would do the work,
and they did it. Some of them were pun
ished for it. but punishment made no diff
ference, and finding this to be so, the pris-
on officials removed Youtsey to the rough
room OF the lumber department, where he
is subjected to the hardest kind Of labor
in atmosphere charged with flying par
ticles of wood
In all the prisons of the world silence is
the rule; but in the Kentucky penltentiary
a special guard has been detailed for
Henry Youtsey, whose sole duty is to be
with the prisoner and talk to him. Day
and night a garrtlous warder keeps the
young man company. At his work, in his
rest periods, even aroused from sleep,
Youtsey has a sociable companion. And
in some way, say something that the Grand
1nquistor can use in furthering the VEN
geance of Arthur Goebel and also further
intrench in power an oligarchy that has
gone SO far that it dare not look behind,
and dare not contemplate possible day of
reckoning.
And these are facts-cold, hard, indisput-
able facts.
That was a pleasant meeting Of Mayor
Capdevielle, of New Orleans, and Mayor
Jones, of Toledo, during the meeting of
the Manufacturers Association. From
every standpoint but one the two men are
dissimilar, but on the basis of that one
they stand together-they are manifestIy
sincere men in all that the word implies.
And they found much in common to speak
of concerning the governance of their two
cities. Seen apart, the courtly dignity of
the Southron makes him appear decided
ly the larger man; seen together, it is noted
thai Jones is measurably taller and broad
er and undoubtedly heavier though he
has lost much in weight recently.
How shall 1 know Mayor Jones when
see him." asked member of the recep-
replied: Pick out man who looks as if
he had lost fifty-two pounds since the first
of the year
And yet Mayor Jones does not look like
sick man. His color is good, his figure
erect eyes bright, step quick and alert.
l said he and Mayor Capdevielle were
alike in sincerity. They have another thing
in common. Mayor Jones's illness has been
due TO stomach trouble, and that is Mayor
Capdevielles chronic ailment.
Il don't see how the mayor keeps up"
