No Peniteutiary.

The state of Mississippi has no
p~euitentiary. The convicts are worked
upon state farms, Governor Vardaman
of the plan:
"Our convict farm, by the way, is
one of the reform features OF the
state. We have $4,000 acres in one
farm and two smaller ones IN the hills
of 800 acres. On the latter W keep
the white prisoners. We have no
state %penitentiary, ard believe that
the state of Mississippi has more
nearly approached the ideal way in
which to handle a convicted man than
any other commonwealth in the coun-
try.
"He 10 worked out doors, given
plenty to eat, has q comfortable place
to sleep, and tina death rate is smaller
in his camps than 10 what be calls 'tbC
outside.j He is practically no expen't

Novels Of St. Louis Life.

The Post Dispatch has printed
twelve novels of St. Louis life,
written by Ivan Whin, which have
attracted much attention locally.
While the scenes Of the stories are
all laid 10 St. Louis, the characters
aud plots are universally interesting
aud the fact that the scenes are laid
10 a city other tnan London, New
York or Boston does not impair-but
rather enhances-theiT interest
In these stories MIR. Whin does not
present problems or preach. He seeks,
mainly, to entertain the vast number
of men and women who love romance.
All of his novels are wholesome and
the most captious moralist could find
nothing in them inconsistent with
his ideals.
Each novel is limited to seven
chapters aud beginning on Monday
the conclusion is reached the follow
ing Sunday. During the coming
week MIR. Whinn will contribute to
the Post Dispatch one Of the best
novels Of the series. # is entitled
"Henry Mlller's Wife 1t is not
local in its scenes but Includes
incidents 10 ST. Louis and several
localities outside the city but

salss aggregated 10, 900, COO forms.
Holland went tulip mad. The bulbs
were quoted on the stock exchange.
Ownership in them was divided into
shares. Spectators sold them shOT'.
At one time more tulips were sold than
existed. At Lille a brewer sold his
trade and good will in exchange for a
balb, which was thereafter known as
the brewery tulip. In Amsterdam a
father gave n by way Of dover with
his child. Thereafter the variety was
known as the'marria -ot-my -daughter.

and ate them up. The repast became
as famous as Oleopatra's pearls and
PROBABLY exceeded it in cost. AT The
Hague a poor fellow managed to raise
a black tulip. The rumOr OF that
vegetable marvel spread. Presently
he was visited by a deputation from a

A professor in an agricultural
college had a hobby. He believed
and preached on all occasions that
the food of animals should be
cooked, just like that of human
beings. One day, while out driv-

farm the owner of which was
standing in a pen near the road
feeding to a drove of swine gen

This caused the learned theOrist
to stop and forthwith hail the yiO-
lator of his theory. "My friend,

give those hogs feed hat has not

that if you would cook that grain
