4 NOTABLE KANSAS CONVICT.

They aren't above learning even from
a convict in Kansas, and it is apparent
that Joseph Bruner, prisoner in the
penitentiary at Lansing, Kansas, is a
competent teacher of the people of his
State. Bruner is serving a term for
burglary His original sentence was
for sixteen years. Governor Stanley has
reduced it to twelve for good behavior.
At the time Bruner was convicted he
was an uneducated young fellow. His
ignorance and moral obliquity seem to
have been mainly the result of poverty
and the unfavorable environment in
which he was born and reared, and his
crime was committed as a desperate
alternative to hunger and suffering. His
conduct as prisoner has been remark
ably exemplary. He has been cheerful.
has done the hard tasks assigned to him
with alacrity, and has taken every op-
portunity to help the guards and pris-
on officials. He has devoted his lei
sure time to hard study and he Is now
quite we'll educated and, it is said,
speaks and writes several languages.
Warden Jewett, recognizing his ability,
and reposing confidence in his integrity.
made him prison librarian and super
intendent of the volunteer prison school,
and has him write the official reports
of the penitentiary. In late report
Convict Bruner proposes a new depart
ure in prison discipline which has been
Endorsed by the prison authorities and
the department of public instruction of
Kansas. He urges that the State shall
establish a school in the penitentiary
for the compulsory instruction of young
and illiterate inmates in the primary
branches of learning. Education, he
argues, develops and strengthens char
acter.
Convict Bruner is a good example of
his own theory. If he is the means of
establishing school in the penitentiary
perhaps he will be made the first teach
err. Probably better one would be hard
to find.

WI Ting Fang, in an article on "Chi-
nese and Western Civilization" tells Of
an American who, having lived in Chi
ma for awhile, was unable to endure life
can friend in China who died only a
short time ago." says Mr.. WI. 1.-THE
story of his life is rather interesting.
He went to China when he was young
man. He learned the language of the
country and became an accomplished
Chinese scholar, He adapted himself
to the ways and habits of those among
whom he had cast his lot, and thus be-
came to all intents and purposes Chi
I1ese in his mode of life. After spend
ing the greater part of his life in China
he made up his mind that he would
pass the remainder of his days in the
land of his birth, among the scenes of
his childhood. Accordingly, he left
China, with no intention of returning.
But he reckoned without his host. No
sooner had he found himself in New
York than the noise and hustle of the
metropolis of the New World drove him
to distraction. He did not know which
way to turn to find rest and quiet, and
he took the earliest opportunity to go
back to China. Thus it is possible that
q man born and bred in strenuous
America may prefer the quiet sur
roundings of China"

An interesting experiment has been
carried out at the artillery ranges at
Steinfeld, Austria. 1t is commonly
known that a balloon is extremely diff
ticult to hit. A balloon was anchored
at the height of $500 yards, the gunners
being kept in ignorance of the range.
1t took twenty-five shots to get the ap-
proximate range, but it was not till the
sixty-fourth round that the balloon was
hit, and then only slightly, However,
the small tear was sufficient to bring it
slowly to the ground.

In a paper on 1.-THE Growth of Great
Cities" read before the American AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Sci
ence, E. L. Corthell of New York made
estimates of the probable population Of
the large cities of the world in 1910 and
in 1920. For Greater New York he es-
timated that in 1910 the population
would be 4,953 900, and in 1920 6,191, $50;
for Philadelphia in 1910 1887, 400, and in
1920 1000, 932; and for Chicago in 1910
2,374,229, and in 1920 3,475,2O9. The pop
ulation of Greater New York, accord
ing to the 1900 census, was 3,437,2 02.
Mr.. Corthell estimates, therefore, an
increase of A per cent. in ten years and
of 80 per cent. in twenty years.

now-haired and bowed with his four
score years, he Is still alert physically
and mentally. He pays close attention
to witnesses, clipping short their YER
bosity, reproving their indiscretions
and punctuating the questions of coun-
sci with wit and apt inquiries Of his
own. He looks like a picture Of
Adolphe Theirs.
For a long time after he presided in
the trial of the anarchists his house
was guarded by the police, but this
was not done at his request, Detect
ives also kept him under their eyes in
his walks about the city. But these
precautions are taken no longer.
Though he was often threatened and
warned during the excitement follow
ing the Haymarket riots, he never
showed fear. Anarchists Parsons, Spies
and their six companions were con-
victed Of the murder Of Police Officer
Matthias Dean in May, 1886. Seven
received the sentence of death and
one was sent to the penitentiary for
seventeen years. During the trial and
afterward the friends of the accused
bitterly denounced Judge Gary for his
rulings and conduct of the case. But
his decisions were sustained In the
State and Federal Supreme courts, and
his course went far toward solving the
problem of dealing with an element
which had announced Its antagonism
to organized society and sought to de-
stroy the whole fabric Of enlightened
civilization

Writing Good English.

There Is a duty for Americans which
few Of them take into serious account
That Is the duty of learning to write
good English; not that they may en-
large the already too-lOng list OF peo-
pie who want to contribute to news
papers, but merely that they may ex-
press themselves In their letters 30
that other people will know what they
mean. This thing Of knowing how to
write a clear business letter is as nee
essary to women as to men. Before
learning to play the piano or paint
china a woman should learn to express
herself in her native tongue. 1t Is al
most as important as knowing how to
make beds or broil beefsteak; not
quite, to be sure, but 1t is so import
ant that it needs greater attention than
it gets. The inability to write clearly
comes in part from a slovenly way OF
thinking. We do not reason In straight
lines. We have a lot of ideas, but they
are jumbled. This Is not 80 noticeable
In speech, but when they are commit
ted to paper the fabric Is lottery
affair. To be systematic In thought
and action, that is the secret Of clear
ness. People should understand once
and for all that the ability to write
does not come as a gift from God, but
that neither is 1t hluden art, ana
that little practice and thought VIII
enable them to write clearly and I'M
derstandingly. They owe 1t to them
selves and their neighbors to give that
matter that practice and that thought

jurist before whom the anarchists
were tried and convicted for the Hay
market riot and murders seventeen
years ago. may be seen late in the aft
ernoon Of almost any sunny day draw
ing his little grandchildren about in
hand cart in Ontario street. At first
sight the stranger knows the jurist for
gentleman Of the old school He
stops the cart load Of jubilant youth
and turns his kindly, forceful face al
ternately from the speaker to the
youngsters. His coat is black-of old
fashioned cut-his trousers are black
and wrinkled from the knee clear
down to his plain, old-fashioned boots
Loosely tied over an eXpanse Of white
shirt Is a soft black neckerchief-a
stock, you might say, of the period Of
Henry Clay.
Judge Gary Is now completing his
fortieth year Of continuous service in
the Superior Court bench Of Cook
County, ILL.,. a record unequaled by any
elective jurist in the United States.
He Is a product Of the State of New
York, but Of Puritan extraction. He
was born at Potsdam, St Lawrence
County, in 1921. His parents were Eli
Bush Gary and Orilla Easton Gary.
To-day he is not only older in point Of
years and judicial service than any
other judge in Illinois, but he is also
perhaps the wittiest, most satirical and
in some respects the most picturesque
figure who has ever occupied a seat on
the bench in the Middle West. Though
man Of few words, brusque In man
ner, keen in wit and often cutting In
sarcasm, seeking neither publicity nor
applause, Judge Gary's popularity has
increased as he has advanced in years.
