Ire of dining at the home of Mr..

lay, and | can't tell when we ever

make us feel perfectly at home--I
Utmost wished Christmas would last
llways. Mr.. Chiles has twenty
hree prisoners, seven of them being
white, and they don't look to be

ook through iron bars was very
lice indeed. Mr.. Chiles is a per-
ect Christian gentleman and has
Ill the sympathy that one can have
or the prisoners, and he proved it
day by giving to them
igars, tobacco and all kinds of
ruit, and at the dinner hour when I
he walters lett the dining room
ach ones dish was piled full of nice
turkey. ham, salads, cake, etc, and
heard them express themselves to
dr. Chiles by saying he was the
,est man in the world. But oh,
low my poor heart ached as |
walked down the aisle and looked

low sad they must be on that Xmas |
lay. | asked some of them where
heir former homes were, and one
# them said in Number Seven, an |
'ther said his home was near Louis Z
lille. Ky, and some from one place
nd some another. AS | passed out
wished them all Merry Christ
mas aud each one said thank you. I
70 doubt they have been raised by \
fathers and mothers, but
