Special to The Journal.
Chicago, May 10.-Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Brown have the distinction of having en-
joyed a two weeks honeymoon journey
without leaving the home in which they
settled. They travelled only ten blocks,
but the trip occupied as much time as a
voyage ito Egypt. They Travelled In two
1h-stcry frame houses. which were pro-
pelled by means Of two horses and rollers.
The newlv welded couple started in
housekeeping at Forty eighth street and
Ashland avenue. Edward Sickles. their
landlord, thought they had left on their
wedding trip, and he made arrangements
to have the house moved to West Fifty
fourth and Loemis streets. The morning
following their wedding night Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown, awoke and found their home
on stills. RIocks and tackle had been
attached during the night and suddenly
the house began to move.
Mrs. Brown thought it a good joke.
She stayed at home, attending to her
housework, while her husband was busy
seeking grocery stores and butcher shops
every time the house was moved a few
blocks. The journey ended yesterday
without a mishao and tomorrow Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown will be at home to their
friends.

poets for the discharged prisoner are
better today than they ever have been
in the past, sc. T." to the contrary
notwithstanding. If the discharged
prisoner is courteous and obliging to
those in whose employ he has been
placed and to those of his fellows he
comes in contact with; if he leads a
blameless life and does not associate
with Questionable characters, he can
not help but win the appreciation of
his employers and make friends who
will believe in him, encourage and
assist him in many ways. Does any
one suppose for moment that an Off
Ger would arrest such man on suspi-
cion, in an offhand manner, simply
because he is an ex-prisoner? He
could too easily bring forward any
number of reputable witnesses that
would jeopardize that officers star and
uniform. There may be rare instances
where this has been done, even sue
ceeding in gaming the conviction of
the suspect, but it is not the rule, as
sc. T." tries to make the readers of
THE MIRROR believe.
AS pessimist "G. T." is star of the
first magnitude. His eloquence is su-
perb, but his facts are like childish
prattle. At first we imagined that he
was philosopher discoursing like an

he was human being, pessimist who
was we'll stocked with Illusions, and
nerve sufficient to exploit them for our
special edi6cation.
We do not wish to layishly praise the
miniOns of the law undeservedly. No
doubt they possess as many short
comings as anyone else does. AS to
the truthfulness of this statement we
are not qualified to state specifically,
as our acquaintance with them has
been very limited. However, we think
that story about their arresting men
simply because they (the men) are ex-
prisoners, is all moonshine. We also
believe that the author who gave ex-
preston to that fact is fully aware of
its untruthfulness. While we are fully
aware that &c. T." does not live in a
glass house, that fact does not justify
him in wantonly casting stones. *x*
