1t is wonderful what a little paint
will do if properly applied. A man
who keeps his buildings painted
not only adds to the appearance of
his home, but helps give the i'm

from the east notice this and never
fail to make pleasing remarks
about the community and the
farmer who keeps his buildings in
repair and nicely painted.

Occasionally as the wheels struck a rut in
the roadway a creeping sensation ran down
the backs OF the lone travellers, and feel
ing akin to awe caused them to breathe
with caution lest some strange sound es-
cape their eager ears. In the distance the
hospital loomed up out Of the semi-darkness.
and with a sigh of relief the assistant
realized that the journey was nearing an
end. The undertaken assumed an air of
business and. forgetful of the greenness of
his companion, spoke lightly OF the errand
which had called them out so early In the
morning. He jested about the corpse, and
remarked that they would have company
on the way home. The assistant shifted
uneasily in his seat when they drove up to
the hospital. and with trembling hands
helped to take the rough box out of the
wagon and carry II to the front door Of the
hospital. which was dark within. A loud
rap by the undertaken brought a sister to
the front of the building. and on assuring
herself concerning the errand. OF the early
visitors, she told them they might enter.
The outer door opened into long corridor,
which led TO a dormitory in which there
were eighteen or twenty small iron beds.

Warden Reid Thinks Crime
Is Decreasing in Indiana

Is crime growing less in Indiana? A re-
porter asked Warden James Reid of the
State Prison, this question yesterday. The
warden was passing an hour with Secre-
tary Butler, of the Board of State Chari-
ties, in the latter's office. The warden did
not reply Immediately. for his eye was on
the box of Havanas that Secretary Butler
drew from a drawer Of his desk. The
warden is fond of his cigar. and so is the
secretary. When the prison man comes to
town he and Mr.. Butler meet, have a
smoke, and talk over matters of common
interest to both. Secretary Buffers heart
is in the work in which he is actively en-
gagged. Warden Reid is not less enthusi-
astic in the work he is conducting
IT cannot say that crime is growing less
in the State" the warden at length seid.
but can state that last summer we had
fewer men in the prison than had been
there for ten years. AT the present time
we have 775 prisoners at Michigan City,
lust sixty-six fewer men than we had
year ago.
Warden Reid believes the indeterminate
sentence law is responsible for this re-
duction. He says ii is driving criminals
from the State. Hardened criminals hate
the indeterminate law, and they want MOTH
ing to do with the parole law. The warden
has chance Of finding what the views OF

The telephone bell In the Office of a local
undertaken disturbed the early morning
quiet. and the undertaken and his assistant
aroused themselves from their slum5er,
drowsily rubbed their eyes and prepared for
what they knew would mean drive out into
the darkness and possibly several hours OF
work. The attendant on answering the
phone WAS told 10 go at once 10. the
Holy sisters' Hospital and take charge OF
the body of an aged man who had died a
few hours before. The undertaker's horse
and wagon soon stood at the door, and in a
few monlents the undertaken and his assist

reflective turn as they drove at fair pace
through the streets OF the city In the de-
serted hour Of the. early morning. Neither
man spoke for half an hour. but at last
the siierace became oppressive and the un-
derfaker spoke to his assistant, who had
been with him but few days and was

these men are, for sometimes the Gagged
man talks freely to his keepers. Many
hardened men, as soon as their terms ex-
pire, leave the State because of their
hatred of the indeterminate law The
theory is that the criminal dislikes the un-
certainty of this law. Under the old law
he knew just how much time he would
have when sentenced. Under the new law
he is not certain as to the length of his
confinement.
Since Mr.. Reid has been warden of the
State Prison, he has executed eight men.
At the present time there is no one in the
prison awaiting the death penalty, and the
prison officials are glad of ii. Warden
Reid frankly confesses he was pleased to
read in the newspapers a week ago that
the jury had given Mcclure. the child mur-
derer, life sentence instead of imposing
the death penalty. While the warden felt
that the crime was a most atrocious oEe,
he realized. If the court decreed that Nc
Clure must die, il would fall upon him to
put him to death. Having already off,
ciated at eight hangings, he could not re-
strain feeling Of relief that came over
him when he learned Mcclure was not to
be hanged.

a small candle carried by the sister, and
she led the way to the room where the dead
man was to be found. On entering the
dormitory, by the dim light of the candle,
the undertaken was able to see the form
OF an aged man lying on the third cot from
the front Without waiting for the sister
to direct them further the undertaken de-
posted the rough box by the cot Of the
supposed dead man, and taking hold Of the
feet, ordered his assistant TO lift the head
and shoulders. Thus they quickly placed
the body in the box. No sooner had the
body been deposited In the box than an
incident happened which robbed the under
taker Of his assistant and caused him to
finish his mission single handed The figure
Of the old man suddenly sat up, and in a
loud voice demanded to know what was
being done with him. The sister excitedly
called TO the undertaken and informed him
that he had picked out the wrong man.
1.-The dead man is at the far end of this
room," she said, and in the confusion incl
dent to the blunder she dropped her candle
and the room was in complete darkness
With great difficulty the undertaken made
his way to the sisters side and soon had
the candle relighted, and the aged man
who had been so rudely disturbed in his
sleep was quickly helped back into his cot.
and apparently had not been sufficiently
awakened TO know what had been going on,
for he dropped off into peaceful slumber a
moment later. But the assistant was gone
and search of the premises failed TO
locate him. When the sister dropped her
candle he ran outside the building, leaving
his employer to finish the gruesome work
of caring for the dead. and since that time
he has never reported for duty, and his
friends In the city have not seen or heard
from him for week or more. The under
taker now has q new assistant
