Penitentiary Farm Abolished.

Denver. March 25.-The Denver
News correspondent says: At last the
penitentiary commissioners have come
TO see the error of employing convicts
on farms and garden patches at re-
mote distances from the penitentiary.
and have taken the first steps to abol:
ish the system. AS rapidly as existing
contracts and leases expire the con-
victs will be refused liberties outside
the walls. What employment will be
provided for them In lieu of the farm
work has not been definitely decided,
but this is probably the first move
ment toward the establishment of peni
tentiary workshops. similar to those at
Joliet and other places.
After carefully Weighing the facts,
pro and con, and counting the cost, the
commissioners reached the conclusion
that the income from the farms and
gardens is inadequate to cover the ex.
pense created by hiring extra guards
keeping teams. buying and repairing
implements and the cost of capturing
escaped convicts. More than two
thirds of the escapes from the peniten.
tiary occur through breach of conf
dence by the convicts put to work on
the farms.

Once, says a writer, 1 suddenly open
ed the door of my mothers room and
saw her on her knees beside her chair
and heard her speak my name in pray
er. I quickly and quietly withdrew
with a feeling of awe and reverence
in my heart. Soon 1 went away from
home to school, then to college, then
into life's sterner duties. But l never
forgot that one glimpse of my mother
at prayer nor the one word-my own
name-which l heard her utter. Well
did know that what had seen that
day was but glimpse of what was
going on every day in that sacred clos
ct of prayer, and the consciousness
strengthened me a thousand times in
duty, in danger and in struggle. When
death came at last and sealed those
lips, the sorest sense of loss felt was
the knowledge that no more would my
mother be praying for me.

why the Church Was Crowded.

A certain little Flemish watering
place much frequented by English and
American visitors has two attractions,
a Presbyterian church and a roulette
table. At recent service in the church
it occurred to one Of the "pillars" that
it might be lucky to play the number
of the hymn after the sermon at the
roulette table. So he stole out of the
church and did SO. 1t happened that
the number of the hymn did turn up,
and the lucky coup became the talk of
the village for the rest of the week.
Next Sunday the church was cram
med to the door. The pious pastor was
rejoiced in heart. After powerful adj
dress he gave out "hymn No. 81" The
moment the words left his lips, to his
CONSERVATION, there was a rush to the
door, and he was left with a faithful
handful to upraise their agitated strain
of praise.
AS for the rest, they made bee line
from the house of prayer to the house
of play. 1t is said that their little ad-
venture cost them all very dear.

plscoMFoRTs IN GREECE.
A Place where the Eye Rather Thaa
the Palate Is Grafffed.


Excepting Japan. southern Italy and
the Tyrol. no country compares with
Greece in the beauty of its landscapes.
1t is not a land for luxurious people,
however The climate is more to be
recommended than the hotels. but the
natural scenery has a variety, q rich
ness and color that no other part of
Europe affords. The foliage and the
towers are abundant and beautiful,
and in the rural districts the people
are picturesque in manners, customs
and dress. Their habits and social life
have not been affected by what we call
the advances of modern civilization.
In public conveniences, however,
Greece is still far behind the times.
Athens is the only place where the ho-
tells are tolerable, and travellers who go
into the interior must take their own
provisions and bedding. Even those
who make little excursions by carriage
for a single day in the neighborhood of
Athens must carry lunch basket, be-
cause the inns are primitive and filthy.
Railway facilities are limited. With
a few exceptions the roads are bad,
but they are gradually improving, and
most of the centers of great interest to
tourists .aay now be reached by ear
riage. Only few years ago travellers
had to go on horseback or on foot, as
they do in the Holy Land. Even now
those who visit some of the most inter-
esting places have to put up with dis
comforts, Inconvenience and a good
deal of dirt and bad smells, although
they are fully repaid.-Chicago Record

Disappointments That Await the
New Congressman's Wife.
The rural congressman's wife, ambi-

imagines that election to the house of

en- key to unlock all doors, learns her
first and bitter lesson when she discov-

persons are everything. Such a woman
comes to Washington full of her own

the greatness of her husband, fondly
believing that the wife of the president,
the wives of the members of the cabi-
net, the wives of the senators, will re-
ceive her with open arms, that she will

will get her name in the newspapers
and her dresses will be described as

last charity ball.
Alas for her disillusionmenti She
learns that while a congressman may
be very big man in his district he is
very small man in Washington until
he has established his right to be re-
garded as above the average. If he has
money and tact, he may soon attract at
tention and cross the golden boundary.
or If he has no money, but much abih-
ty. he will reach his destination by an
other route but if he has neither one
nor the other, If he is simply an ordina-

intelligence, the social recognition for
which his wife signs will never be hers.

CITIES HARD TO KILL.
What Rome, Paris, CousfnntinopIe
and London Have Suffered.

What Rome, Paris, CousfantinopIe
and London Have Suffered.
It is a difficult thing to kill a city,
and there are some well known places
that have so much vitality that they
will survive any number of disasters
Take Rome as Il first example. No
fewer than ten times has she been
swept by pestilence. She has been
burned twice and starved out on six
occasions. Seven times she has been
besicged or bombarded. But she still
flourlshes. Perhaps that is why she is
called the Eternal City.
Paris has had eight sieges, ten fam
ines, two plaques and one fire which
devastated it. We make no reference
to the number of revolutions, as they
IRE too numerous to mention. But Par
is still fiourishes.
Constantinople has been burned out
nine times and has suffered from four
plaques and five sieges. There are
some people who think that many of
the sultans have been as bad for the
city as any pestilence. And yet she
goes on.
Lastly there is the English metropo-
lis. London began as q kind of mound
in a swamp. In her early history she
was sacked, burned and all her inhab-
itants butchered. She has been deci-
mated by plague five times, exclusive
of typhus. cholera and such maladies.

Wild geese are considered the best
examples Of conjugal felicity in the
animal world. Thus the japanese
groom sends the bride a pair OF these
birds, and she in turn presents them to
her parents. To further emphasize the
matter the groom brings another pair
to the wedding, and they roost in the
room during the ceremony. Their con-
duet is watched with care, for they
must not struggle to escape during the
proceedings. Fortunate is the bride
groom who cannot secure the geese
alive and must be content to substitute
toy limitations of the birds, for then
he has no anxiety lest the wild propen-
sity assert itself during the marriage
rites and thus prove an i'll omen to the
