Col. Olds: Inquiry was made of
Secretary of State Grimes, who is a
large tobacco grower and much inter
ested in hal crop, as to what he
thought the reduction of acreage
would be. He said that in the west
ern tobacco region a full crop would
be planted, but in the east a short
crop. The bad weather, he says, is
giving a back-set to the tobacco
planting, and also to the trucking
interests. For a few days there has
been no rain and the soil would have
been dry enough by the middle of
this week for some blowing to be
done, but last night the rain fell in
torrents and the farmers can do moth

Next day arrived a little missive:

bearing stenographer's note book. She
blazed at him for a moment with those

In a Iapanese Prison.

That which is especially striking at
first sight in a japanese prison is that
there is no difference between the prison
and the hut Of the free peasant, the Jap
anese declaring that if the prison were
elevated to the level of a modern peni-
tertiary it would be too attractive and
would increase crime.
Upon approaching the prison, in place
Of high and forbidding walls you see a
large country house with a series of out
buildings, the prison itself being COM
pletely open, while the wooden bars at
the windows have nothing of the forbid
ding aspect Of our iron gratings. The in
terror Of the building is completely open,
although formerly at Itchigoi there was
a corridor separated from the building
by paper wall, where the guards slept.
The food given the prisoners is in pro-
portion to their conduct and industry,
the prisoners who do not conduct them
selves as they should receiving a cake Of
rice which must last for seven days,
while in the case Of the orderly prison
ers the same cake lasts for only four
days. The prisoners who conduct them
selves properly receive also little horse
meat with potato or pea sauce with their
meals.-Public Opinion.

and S-year-old Willie, Of course, made
himself conspicuous during his stay. He
seemed to be deeply impressed with the
minister, and never let his eyes stray
from him. He manifested as much in

regarded the minister with somewhat
sorrowful expression, which was altogeth-
er uncalled for, as he was Of jovial dis
position and greatly amused his hearers.

then, had she not shot that appealing
glance in Chelmsfords direction To that
glance from those eyes. Chelmsford-hith-

He dropped his grip and tackled the
window. Under the spell of those eyes
and that smile he was conscious of a
Samson-like strength; if necessary he
could have torn the window from its

the grip, acknowledge the thanks, and
continue his search for a vacant seat 1t
