ing to fight their way out of the gully
when a small door opened in the side
Of an ice house at the head Of the
gully. None of the convicts noticed
the door until a Calling gun began to
pour lead in a stream out of the open
Ing. The convicts were panic-strick-
en-. They threw down their rifles and
knelt on the ground and shouted for
mercy. The Calling was worked for
thirty seconds. When the firing
ceased only a few of the men were
left unhurt.
The seven dead men were carried
to the prison and were laid naked IN
a row on long deal table One man
had been struck by fifteen bullets.
When the light had been subdued to
make the wounds show more clearly
against the white skin the convicts
were filed slowly past the table. About
1000 men were In the prison and the
procession was kept up until the last
one had passed the bodies.
Aull had an original method In
marking men who had tried and fail
ed to escape. He clothed them in red
shirts, and his guards were instructed
to shoot for these shirts If any effort
was made to break away. Not until
every man wearing a red shirt had
been shot down in a fleeing group
were the guards to fire on the other
cOnvicts.
He made the discipline so exact that
it was impossible for man to es-
cape. In the last few years OF his
service attempts to gain freedom grew
less and less. Finally the prisoners
gave it up as a bad job. They de
cided it was better to work out their
sentences, or to hope for a reprieve
in the case of a life sentence. than to
feel the bite of the frowning Cat
lings.
And yet, with all the precautions he
took. Aull was liked by the majority
Of his prisoners. He treated them
justly, and they recognized this. He
was tireless in his efforts to obtain
better food and better clothing for
the men. He did not work them hard
in the quarries and he gave them fire.
quent relaxation. He interested him
self In them personally. and many he
helped after they had gone back into
the world. He raised the standard
for prison fare and living in Califor-
MIA, and the convicts expressed sor-
row when he gave up the post. five
years ago.

worth an Admission Fec.

A new hand at golf lately had an
experience which the New York Sun
describes The man tried to get to
the links early, when no one was there
to witness his lack of skill. A caddie
followed him to the tee, and offered
to go round with him for fifty cents.
Never mind. son. I'll get along"
With that he made a magnificent
swing at the ball and missed it by a
foot.
Say mister" said the caddie, I'm
go round with you for a quarter"
The player declined and tried to look
self possessed. He made another swing
at the ball and missed it again.
"Say, mister" said the boy, I'm go
with you for fifteen cents"
BY that time the man was ratified"
and struck at the ball three times.
The boy, who had retreated some dis
lance, called:
won't you take me for nothing?
I'll go round for the fun of It."

When Aull took charge of Folsom
he found a huge pile of buildings
standing in rocky amphitheater close
TO the American river. The prison
grounds covered 1856 acres, mostly fill
ed with quarries of the finest lime
stone.
1t had been planned to build walls
around the prison. but Aull advised
against this. He argued that a wall
would he useless, as the convicts
would have to go outside to get to the
Quarres. The prison was left as it
was built, but Aull took steps to keep
the convicts from escaping. He built
ten towers at different points In the
prison grounds and in them placed
Calling guns. The gunE swept every
part of the grounds, and also a quar-
ter of mile of territory surrounding
the prison reservation.
The towers were built by convlcts
Aull placed double guards over diff
ferent bodies of the prisoners while
they built the foundations of solid
stone and the superstructures Of wood
and iron He made the cOnvicts raise
the Calling guns to their platforms in
the little galleries OF the towers. and
every detail of the work of defense
or rather offense, he let the prisoners
become acquainted with. Aull said
there was nothing to conceal He
wanted the men to know that eXtraor-
binary precautions had been taken to
keep them under control, and he was
interested in having the convicts car
ry the boxes-sf ammunition from wag-
ons into the towers.
AULLS CEMETERY.
Every prisoner that arrived In Fol
som got little lecture by the warden.
Aull would meet the new arrived with
a hearty handshake and a smile.
Now, my man." he would say,
"there is no bread and water here.
You will get good food and plenty Of
it. And if you don't try to run of and
are good-natured you will get the best
of treatment. We are easy on the
boys here as long as they behave
themselves.
"You see we have no walls around
this prison. but you Will also observe
those towers. The convicts you will
mingle with in the quarries will tell
you what those are for"
AS he came near the end of his lee
ture Aull would signal with his hand
for the convict to follow him, and.
chatting continually. he would lead
him through the graveyard. In an
apparently casual way Aull would call
attention to the white boards stand

AN OLD-FAsHIONED GARDEN

Strange, is it not? She was making her
garden,
PLANTING the oldfashioned flowers that
day
Dleeding hearts tender and Bachelors

Spreading the seeds In the old-fash-
Toned way.
Just in the old-fashioned way, too, our
quarrel
Grew, until angrily she set me free
Planting, indeed, bleeding hearts for the
two of us
Ordaining bachelors buttons for me.
Strange, was it not? But seeds planted
in anger
Sour in the earth and, ere long, a de-

Withered the bleeding hearts, blighbed
the buttons,
And-we were wed-in the old-fash-
Toned way.

his chance to boast like this No pris-

JOHN BLANK.
SHOT WHILE TRYING TO
ESCAPE ON
JULY 80, 1901.


In one corner of the graveyard
Aull would stop and point to seven
graves. They were dug after a clever
attempt to escape about ten years
ago Forty men were in the plot. and
nearly all of those not killed were
wounded.
While working side by side in the
quarrles. George Fredericks and
George Sontag plotted the escape.
They discovered that a narrow gully
near the quarry was not swept by the
Cuttings and that 1t offered a chance
for escape. Fredericks was released
Soon after this discovery.
A few days after he reached Sacra-
he bought forty rifles and a large
quantity of ammunition. He loaded
the lot into a covered wagon, and In
the dead of night he left the city. He
came within a few miles Of the pris-
on before daybre and hid In a thick
wood during the day. Before mid
night he had hidden the rifles and
cartridges at the spot In the gully that
he and Sontag had agreed upon.
Next day the attempt to escape was
made. At midday, as forty convicts
were marching past the gully to din
ner, they suddenly broke ranks and
seized the few guards marching be-
side them. In a few moments they
were hidden in the gully. out of reach
Of the Cuttings, which had begun to
pop the moment they overpowered the
guards. Armed with the rifles left by
Fredericks the convicts were prepar-

cream and serve. Sope good cooks
advise putting bit Of soda with old
peas to make them tender and give
them a good color but this is not ad-
visable. If they have reached that ex-
tremity they are only fit for soup. A
little sugar is often added with advan-
tage, to replace natural sweetness.

One cupful Of sugar, two-thirds of a

 Washington, D. C., 1903.
 In this my last letter on the American invasion write of our trade possibilities in Asia. That continent has already a foreign business of szOoo.o 600 a year, and it is just on the edge of its commer- cial development It has tl1ree-fffths tof all the worlds people, the most of whom are dressing in cottons and living on a few cents day. With the introduction of modern machinery and the develop ment of its mineral resources its trade will be increased twenty fold. It win hum like beehive and there will be roll ing mills. textile mills and all sorts of machine shops from Siberia to Ceyion. Wages will rise and purchases increase and the trade will be worth tens of bil- Hons annually. -t
 Asiatic Russia. s.
 But suppose we put on our seven league boots for a tramp over Asia We shall take country at step nosing out the possibilities of American trade. We start in the Russian possessions, which have twice as much land as the United States proper with population just now of about twenty millions.
 At the north Is Siberia. the wild west of the world. It Is one-third larger than the whole of our country. Parts of 1t are underlaid with coal and iron and its gold mines compare with those of Alaska. It has never been prospected and no one knows how great are its mineral re- sources. s Siberia has some of the best wheat lands upon earth. I travelled from Vlad- ivostock inland over the Trans-Siberian road through a country that Is a very granery. The soil is as black as your hat and 1t yields like the valley of the Nile. All along that road. the longest trunk line upon earth, there are great tracts of cultivatable land. and here and there. not far from the road, are coal and iron. That country will support a vast population. and it Is being as rapid ly filled as the Russian can push 1migra- tion. It is now humming with commer- cial activity. The lands are being taken up. towns are growing: and there is a great demand for the kind of goods we have to sell. s4 Not Hard to Work. I have written how one Cape Cod boy
