(The Last Jersey Indian and the Cabin
Which Is His Home)
hunting ground along the banks OF the
Morris. When the white man came tc
South Jersey he found many open spaces
and clearings along the streams, used
by the Indians for raising corn. The
settlers took possession of this part and
soon killed off the bear and deer so that
the Indians were compelled to take to
their canoes and float down the lower
bays.
But Old Shamung, or as he was known
In 1900, Basket Jim,' refused to aban.
don the hunting ground Of his people
and settled down on fiat once the site
of an Indian village, and began to make
baskets for living. He died in 1902 on
the Clark place, near Norma.
The grandson of the old chief, Dan
Halstead, has lived pretty much this
same kind Of life. He is quiet, peaceful,
sort of fellow without kith or kin and
the only living friend he has in ths
world Is his dog, Prince, mongrel, and
his sole companion. Every Saturday he
makes a trip on foot to vineland. eight
miles away. He raises few vegetables
In little truck garden OF his own, al.
the work being done by hand. He spends
the remainder OF his time fishing.

for years agitating the minds of his pre-
decessors. He is going to try and reform
the criminal classes so as to make them
both within and without the prison USE
full citizens. Hitherto prisoners, ire
spective of their antecedents, who were
sentenced to penal servitude. that is any
term involving confinement for over two
years, were pat to such Improbable oc-
equations as picking oakum or breaking
stones. The secretary feels that all
prisoners are not hopeless cases, hence
his new scheme Young men serving
their first period are to be kept under
special observation, and il II is found
that the criminal instinct is not strongly
developed in them they will be taught
some useful trade which may help them
to become respectable citizens on their
release Habitual criminals will be also
put to some useful occupation by which
they will be no longer burden on the
taxpayer, and II they show no disposition
to reform they will be kept in prison for
an indefinite period. This feature Of the
scheme Is drastic, because 1t will need
special act of parliament to put It into
operation.
Mr.. ers-Douglas comes OF family
known for its charity and general good
works. The home secretary himself.
while man OF strict sense of duty and
answering purpose to act for the good
of the state, is touched with much
clemency in the discharge Of what is
often painful business. He is so pune
tilious about his work that he frequently
looks in on such places as Scotland Yard
and other institutions relating to crimi-
nails. to see to things In person. and many
stories are told OF the way In which
policemen on duty. failing to recognize
the home secretary. sometimes refuse
him entrance.
