PETER M0RTENSEN, IN HIS PRISON CELL,
TAKES TO MUSIC, AND HAS COMPOSED SONG

The county jail has truly become a
center of musical attractions. It has
a school Of musical training, with in
strumental instructors, vocal in
structors, composers, and last, but not
least wonderful Of all, a factory where
musical Instruments are made to order
with the tools and material that hap
pen to be at hand. NiOlins, guitars and
mandOlins have been made by those
who can use them, and in the early
evening the iron cage becomes a veri-
table house of song and instrumental
illusions
Although the instruments have been
manufactured with no other tools than
pocket knives. imprOvised planes and
hammers. within the narrow confines
of one cell, they make sweet music
and furnish excellent accomplishments
for the vocal entertainments. A num-
Der of the prisoners possess voices of
more than ordinary merit, and the
melodies that echo through the Jail are
suggestive of an evening on southern
plantation.
Peter Mortensen. awaiting trial upon
the charge of numbering J. r. Hay,
has set himself assiduously to work to
learn to play the guitar, receiving in
structions from Bert De ShaZo. .Perched
on a tobacco can, before a small table
upon which is spread an instruction

The most important records. how
ever. are the "wheelage" accounts. The
Office has a correct account of the total
number Of wheels on the cars handled
by each road for every day in the
year and on the basis of these records
are made all sorts Of settlements be-
tween the different accounting sys-
tens. Whether a car was light or

In commencing the speaker described
the first Easter day and the JOY OF
Mary Nagdalene, which spread abroad
to the disciples and made its influence
strongly felt when they gathered to-
gether in the upper room that evening.
BY eating with them Christ, he said,
had renewed the human ties that mad
existed before the crucifiXion.
AT first" said he, 'the disciples were
filed with fear at the remarkable ap-
pearance, but he spoke words Of COM
fort to them and gave them a commiss
sion to go forth into the world and tell
the story of the Christ and the Gospel.
To-day the world and the church
are as much in need of manifestation
of Christ as they ever were, or more so.
1t is the office and work of the minis
tiers and disciples of the Gospel to man
ifest Christ and his power to the world.

DR.. Mayo Talks of the Psychological
Feature Of the Case.
County Physician Mayo, in giving a
psychological explanation of the mo-
tives that prompted young Felt to cut
Collins throat. declares that a moral
pervert such as Collins was could
easily WELD an influence over a boy
that would impel him to do almost
anything the older man desired.
1t is a we'll known fact in medical
science" said the doctor. that a moral
pervert who has others as parties to
his depravity, Yields an influence over
them that is almost enslaving. There
seems to be something that impels the
other party to do what the pervert de-
sires.
There is always a fear felt by the
party to the depravity that his actions
may become known ana he would do
almost anything to prevent it, He
feels an impulse of disgust at his own
weakness. yet there is something that
holds him under the influence so long
as the originator of it is associated
with him. The desire to get rid OF
this influence would even prompt him
TO kin a person under such conditions
as are presented in this case. He
would see an opportunity to rid him
self of the disgusting associations and
20 free his mind from the ever pres
ent fear that his part in the degreda-
ton Of the old man would become
known"

SERMON ON BOYS SINS
Collins Tragedy Prompts Rev.
Or. Brown 10 MoraIize on
Sting of Broken Law.

At the First Congregational church
last evening the Rev. Clarence T.
Brown preached a thoughtful sermon,
aprOpos of the Collins tragedy. His
theme was The Sting of Broken
Law" and he said, in part.
Mans greatness lies in the number
and strength of his obligations. His
life is the meeting place of a vast COM
pick of laws he did not make-forces
that wait to make him great if he
works with them. and that thWart him
if he tries TO defy them.
1T is the preTOgative of an insect to
live as ne likes; it is the prerogative Of
a man to live as he ought. Every
broken law has its sting. There are
some things one better not try to learn
by experience, the effects of poison on
his body and Of vice on his soul.
1T is particularly pathetic when
young life breaks the law and feels the
poisoned fangs. A child has just as
much right to protection for his soul
as he has iOr his body, for his morals
and his health What is a home for?
Three meals day and a place to
sleep when he doesn't find some more
cOngeniaI place? The majority of
criminal careers begin on the street at
night, or in porting over vicious books.

Some of the, effects of broken law
can be seen and some can not. We see
broken health, but sadder still are
broken hopes and poisoned sensibih-
ties. The most terrible effect Of a
broken law is poisoned imagination
Imagination that was given to men
to be the handmade of religi0n-the
mercury of the soul the fine power
that supplements and OUrUns reason
and leads the soul in+o highest and

and dangerous power.
