CAUGHT IN
THE CORRIDORS

"I've heard statesmen and orators
say a good many things that were
more or less true" remarked the jolly
drummer with twinkle in his eye,
applying a lighted match to a
big black cigar, as he emerg-
ed from the Pulaski dining
room after supper, "but I think
that John Temple Graves spoke a
parable one day when heard him say
that the only reason that men who
know how to enjoy life, eat is so that
they may smoke on a full stomach.
Col. Graves was joking, but I've heard
him say other things in earnest which
were less conservative"
Merely to pass the time away they
were discussing books (and authors
and other things-principally other
things-for men do not discuss books
and authors only in a desultory sort
of way, except on set occasions. And
they were discussing Thomas Dixon's
Leopard Spots" and one Of them
said: Before 1 read The Leopard
Spots / had heard so much about the
to it that had made it so popular, es-
pecially in the South. 1 read it, and
the first thing that I discovered was
the fact that it was surely not the
manner in which Mr.. Dixon told the
story, for in some parts it was de-
cidedly amateurish. Then found out
that the reading public is fond of ar
gument woven entirely through story
when a blank argument alone will
prove as dull as a census report Do
you know what made The Leopard
Spots popular in the South? 1t was
merely the different ways in which
the author asked the question: Shall
the future American be Anglo-Saxon
or Mulatto.'"

The statement of the Central Howard Associa-

men and ex-prisoners, 81 have been permanently
placed, eleven are in temporary situations three

liberty. Surely that is very satisfactory showing
The Association is steadily extending it's field of
endeavor and will in course of time have agents in
all the states. In recent letter to The MIRROR
Mr. F. Emory Lyon, superintendent, said: "The
readers of The MIRROR will be interested to know
not only of the general progress of the work of the
Central Howard Association, but that it is becoming
more fully organized in the Northwest and in
better position than to help those who shall be
discharged from time to time and who face the world
with a better purpose. The Association now has a

charge of Mr. VIM. N. Coffey. He is looking after
the work in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota.

able to find employment but if they not able to
do so, and will write to Mr.. Coey he will be pleased
to get some of the Minnesota manufacturers, who
are cooperating with us, to sign the parole and
furnish work. In the case of the men who are to be
discharged outright and who wish employment in
the state outside, we will be glad to get them en-
ployment in the vicinity to which they wish to 60.
Letters may be written to or to VIM. N. Coffey,
of Associated Charities Eau Claire, Wisconsin
Of course those leaving here on parole have
only to apply to the State Agent for employment,
and he also looks after discharged prisoners who
desire employment in this state; but there are no
doubt number of men confined here who are anx-
ous to get work in other state after they are
discharged, and to such men, Mr.. Lyons kind offer
will be great boon.

The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com
pany has been the recipient of considerable praise of
late for its policy of coaching conductors and
brakemen in 'irst aid to the injured methods and
indeed the innovation is commendabe. But would
it not be more to the point to inaugurate and put
into operation system whereby the risk of acct
dents would be reduced to minimum? That would
be even better than instructing tranmen in the art
of making splints and tourniquets. The annual
epidemic of railroad wrecks is steadily spreading,
and things have to such pass that the person

West and Northwest during the excursion season is

engaged in very risky undertaking. The railroads
assert that the numerous disasters are caused not
by faulty management but through the carelessness
of minor employees, but this argument would seem
to be specous altho, of courses in all things human
the personal equation must be taken into account
It is worth remembering, however, that in no other
civilized country are railroad wrecks as numerous
as in the United States. England and Germany are
covered with network of lines but in those lands
accidents few and far between and when they do
occur cannot be lightly explained away by the
officials of the road. Public sentiment is against
careless railroad management. And until the
American public to attribute such disasters
to tough luck alone, they will continue to occur
frequently. In the meantime perhaps it is just as
we'll that the travelling public should have the
