II is the duty of the state to protect
its citizens-even those condemned to
pass a term of years in jail The dan
ger to the inmates of prisons, from
pulmonary disease, has only lately
been realized. short time since
man who had served n sentence In
the Ohio penitentiary, declared that
20 send him back meant death by
tuberculosis Inquiry was made. The
head physician announced that the
building was hotbed of consump-
ton A prominent official stated that
a ten years sentence was equivalent
20 condemning man to death-by
pulmonary tuberculosis.
DR.. S. A. Knopf the greatest Ameri-
can authority on tuberculosis, was In
vited to visit the penitentiary. With
out hesitation he pronounced 1t the
most unsanitary penal institution he
rad ever seen.
The output of many prisons is
enough to convince of the truth of the
above statements. The sallow COM
plexions, weakened bodies, sunken
chests of the ex-convicts, all are the
stamp of murderous prison hygiene.
All the rules for combating the great
white plague are reversed For sun
light, they are given darkness; for
fresh air, damp. musty atmosphere;
for out-of-door life weary indoor
grind, large part spent within the
narrow confines of single cell
Is it not enough to take from a fell
low being his liberty and appropriate
the labor of his hands, without fore
ing him to live under such conditions?
Dare the state continue to condemn
any of its citizens to such death?
Shall the sentence in public prison
cease at its legal expiration, or shall
the poor victim continue to suffer
from its dire effects until he fills a
consumptive's grave?
In this day of Anti-Tuberculosis
agitation, it would seem that public
institutions, whether asylums schools,
prisons or assembly halls should be
the first to be brought under proper
sanitary conditions. 1t is useless,
hopeless to educate the masses in re-
gard to the cure and prevention of
tuberculosis and then maintain at
public expense hotbeds for the de-
velopment of consumptives to be fin
ally turned loose in the community.

1t all turns on win and exercise. Be
fore going to sleep a few exercises

windows, inhaling the good fresh air
A step ladder to run up and down is
a great incentive to health; wind ex-

body lissom, and prevent stoutness.
Then diet has to be considered; too

ton of the public domain by the big

Mr.. Rush, who, as former assistant
United States district attorney, has

who has charge of the present prose-
cutions, said

PAIN I'LL SCIATICA
EVERY SUFFERER WANTS THE VERY
QUICKEST CURE.

Mr.. Donovan Thinks the Remedy Used By
Him with Such Remarkable Success
the Best-Cured by Five Boxes.
"Men who have to do difficult and
dangerous work on electric lines at any
hour of day or night, can't afford to have
anything the matter with their health"
said Mr.. Donovan. You can imagine,
therefore, how much 1 was alarmed one
winters day in 1902, when was seized
by pain just behind my right hip that
made it difficult for me to walk home.

"Quite the contrary. At the end Of

"When was lying in bed, unable to
move and wasting away in flesh, friend

Mr., Joseph A. Donovan is living at
Plaistow, New Hampshire, and is line
inspector for the Haverhill, Newton and

Williams Pink Pills are the remedy to
use when the blood is thin, as in anemia;

ALFONSO AND HIS MOTOR CAR.
King Of Spain Badly Afflicted With
the Craze,

King Of Spain Badly Afflicted With
the Craze.
Jerome Hart tells of the enthusiasm
shown by King Alphonso of Spain for
the automobile: "fIe is affected with
an acute case OF motormania. He
spends most of his time, both at Ma
drid and at San Sebastian, in wildly
careerlng across the country in motor
cars. He owns several highpower
French automobiles, and when In
them, like Jehu the son of Nimshi,
he driveth fast and furiously. In fact,
so reckless is his driving, so numerous
are his accidents, that the queen moth
er recently became alarmed and urged
him to abandon his dangerous sport.
Failing in this, she got member of
the cortes to father a law imposing
limitations on the kings speed. This
did not mean limitations as to speed
on the kings highway-it meant limi-
tations on the speed of the king on the
kings highway. But this projected
law aroused the indignation Of some
courtly legislators in the cortes, and
they opposed it bitterly. The king,
they said, is above the law, therefore,
to pass laws leveled at the king would
be against the law. Before this puzzle
the perplexed cortes recoiled and the
law was not passed.
"The young king only recently sue
ceeded in so far overcoming the queen
mothers repugnance to motor cars
that he persuaded her to accompany
him in a little drive. 1t was unfortu-
nate that on her first experiment with
him as a motorist the king should
have had one of his frequent mishaps.
But he did. He came a cropper, and
it was a royal cropper.
His enormous machine, going at
high speed, skidded and capsized, hurl-
ing its royal freight some distance
into a ditch. The queen-mother was
badly scared, her royal feathers and
royal temper were much rumpled, but
otherwise she was unhurt."

The trial of Fred Hans was the Sec
ond time the famous scout had been
tried for his life for the alleged MUIR
der of Dave Luce, a rancher in Brown
county. The first trial resulted in
conviction and Hans was sentenced
to Imprisonment for life. Application
to the supreme court resulted in the
lower courts reversal and an order
was made compelling Hans to be re-
tried.
No killing in that section of Ne
braska had caused such widespread
interest as when Fren Hans, acting as
sheriffs deputy, went to the resi-
dence of Dave Luce several years ago
with a warrant for his arrest upon a
charge of cattle stealing. Luce con-
sented to go with Hans to Jail, but as
the testimony offered at the trial
showed, LUCE stepped into an adjoin-
ing room and reached for his gun.
Hans called upon him to halt, but
Luce paid no attention, and as Luce
was about to fire Hans sent two bull
lets through his heart. The corQner's
fury which sat in the case at the time
returned a verdict to the effect that
the killing of Luce was justifiable.
Several years after the death of
Luce, Hans was arrested charged
with murder. He was defended by
Attorney William Gurley of Omaha

Scattered Kindness.

There are lives of wearisome mono

wealth and luxury, there are those
who listen and long in vain for some
expression of disinterested kindness.

The Best of Life.

Not till life's heat is cooled
The headlong rush slowed to a quiet
pace,
And every purblnd passion that he ruled
our noisier years, at last
Spurs MS in Vain and, weary Of the
race,
We care no more who loses or who
wins
All, not till all the best of life seems
past
The best Of life begins.
To tell for only fame,
Handclappings, and the tickle gusts of
praise,
For place or power or gold to gid a
name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, were to lose
our days;
We, on whose ears youths passing bell
has tolled.
In blowing bubbles, even as children
do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world wIdens when
such hope of trivial gain that ruled us
lies
Broken among our childhood's toys, for
We win to self-control!
And mail ourselves in manhood, and
there rise
Upon US from the vast and MINDLESS
height
Those cleaner thoughts are unto the
soul
What stars are to the night.
