- Prison Is Conducted.

Make II Place Criminals VIII Dread,
Demands Supreme Court Justice
Upbraids Public For lts Disregard
of Law. 4,

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 25.-Beiore the
business mems class OF Mar'h"
Holmes Memorial NJ. E. church, Judge
C. B. Grant of the state supreme
court during the delivering OF a snort
address made number OF statements
which. considering their source, are
of more than passing interest TO the
citizens of this state.
"One of the greatest needs OF this
state and all the states in the Union
today is a better enforcement or the
law" said Judge Grant. "One OF tho
great dangers to the republic, In my
opinion. is lawlessness and disregard
of law
Enforce the criminal laws OF the
state rigidly, swiftly and impartially;
refer particularly to the laws against
gambling, houses of prostitution ana
regulation of the liquor traffic. Drink
ing, gambling and prostitution are the
principal sources of crime Of all sorts
of poverty, of divorce, OF imbecillty
and insanity.
Prison a Sanitariun1.
"Cease to make your state prison at
Jackson a sanitarium and a pleasure
resort" he demanded. Make 1T as "
should be, a place criminals Will
dread. 1t should not be place where
criminals are better clothed, better
housed and have more of the comforts
and luxuries of life than has the aver
age laboring man.
Criminals have no real dead OF
being confined in the prison at jack
son. They have easy times, contrary
to the law which requires sentence
to hard labor at Jackson.
Criminals dread to be sent to the
prison in the upper peninsula. Mr.
Russell does not pretend to make that
a reformatory, sanitarium or pleas
ure resort. He is humane>but the
strap is applied when occasion calls
for it.
Bar the Public.
"The prison should not be open to
the public When the prison gates
close behind a criminal he should be
dead to the world till the gates open
again for his release. The prisons
and jails should not be made a place
for the exhibition Of heroes or mon-
sters, as in the case of the Meyer MUIR
derers.
"The work Of law enforcement
should be begun early. Most GRIM
inas begin their careers on the streets
in the cities and villages. They often
come from good families. A walk
along the streets from Z to II O'CLOCK
in the evening will give a practical
demonstration Of one Of the 81 eatest
schools of crime.
Three years ago in Lansing three
boys. one a clergyman's son were ac-
rested for burglary. They said they
began their criminal career by playing
the slot machines. 1t is the fist les.
son in gambling"
Quotes Lincoln.
Judge Grant concluded with the
quotation from Abraham Lincoln:
LET reverence of law be taught in
schools and colleges, be written in
primers and spelling books, be pub
lished from pulpits and proclaimed ia
legislative houses and enforced in tn .
courts Of justice-in short, let it b.
come the religion of the nation"
"Such teaching and preaching" said
Judge Grant, will accomplish moro
for the stability of this country AMI
It's institutions than the preaching Of
creeds and the methods Of salvation
Of ones soul"

fort Never was there a greater mis- take. Pleasure in the household de- bends on simplicity far more than we think. Children often turn away from the playthings that have cost a goodly sum in dollArs and cents. and ind their delight in something cheap which they may use at their pleasure. The costly doll imported from Paris and dressed in the height of the fashion is shown with pride by iss owner to her little friends, but it is not the doll which gives most satisfaction. It is not the doll that the child plays with. Very likely her mother considers 1t too fine to be spoiled and puts 1t away in the closet except on state occasions. A doll on the closet shelf may be marvel of elegance. but 1t brings no particular qualification to the child who seldom sees it. Ask any little girl which of her dolls she would rather part with, and it is never the finest one. but always the shabby darling that has shared its little mothers joys and sorrows, that is to her the prettiest doll in the world. A boy takes no end of satisfaction in a few tools, a pair of skates. or even a shovel suited to his own size with which he may tunnel the snow. build forts and do as he pleases out of doors on cold day.
 Our yule.tide should be full of
 
 should be spent on plenty of light and an open fire, and there should be good times at home. the best times then in all the year.
 The benehcent spell of the yule-tide has most of heaven in it when we re- member our poorer neighbors and our Iouelier friends. There are people known to us all who will be made very happy by so simple a thing at Christ mas-tide as letter. For instance, tn gre is the sea nSfFess who worked for you twenty years ago and who is end ing her days in an old ladies' home. She has nobody of her own left to visit her and one day passes just like an- other. Her yu1e-tide will be made more cheerful by visit if you can make 1t, or a letter if you can send 1t.
 '"The gift without the giver is bare .'' The more true love and affection we put into our simplest gifts the more individual they are, and the more they express the sentiment of good will and sincerity the happier and more lasting for us will be the spell of the beautiful yule-tide.

CONGRESS STORIES.

Incidents of the opening day of Con- gress are thus reported in the Wash ington correspondence of several ex- changes:
 Senator Teller of Colarodo made 1t known today that he, with Senator AL lison of Iowa are the only members of the upper branch of Congress who have served for a continuous period of twenty-nine years. He conveyed this knowledge to Mir, Allison in a some- what affecting maner. After the ad- tournment of the session this morning Senator Allison, who was standing g with Senator Foraker, was approached by Mir. Teller. The latter grasped MT. Allison's hand with much vigor. and. in voice which was somewhat shaken and with tears in his eyes displaying his intense feeling. said:
 Senator, I first took the oath Of of flee as member of this body twenty nine years ago today. You are the only

Ancient Love Letter.

Paris Cable N. Y. American.
 While Ncarrying on some excavations near the Foundations of the old church of St. Peter, on Montmartre, RI. Saul vageet, a we'll known French antigua rian, has discovered love letter which is several hundred years old. It was written by the Knight Jean de Gisors to his lady, Alice de Lisle. In his let- ter the Knight declares for all the world to know that he has worshiped the fair Lady Alice from afar. that never had she given him any right to declare his love. but that her image has been his guiding star for years, and that now on the eve of battle he wishes to send her a chaste farewell. Apparently the damsel never got the letter, for the Knight was slain the next day upon the battlements and buried in the trench. whence his bones have been exhumed by the pick of modern antiquarian.

Antiquity of Football.

outing.
 If 1t is not the oldest game in the world, football is not far from. it. But it has never been a game in which puny nations played. The Greek game was originally called "pheninda," or "feint- ing; later 1t was called "episkyrus," "epikoinos" and lastly "harpaston," un- der which name it came to resemble football.
 The Roman game was 'follis," and was less rough. There was centre runner in harpston, around whom the game was fought out. One side was given the ball; the other chose cen tre The side with the ball stood some distance back from line. on which the centre runner was posteds and at a signal the ball was thrown past the middle man. Players could be held back from securing the ball in any way though the Greek youths had no rush formations, never seeming to have learned the valeu of team work.

member now here who was here at that time. Not only that. but there is not a single empioye here now who was here then. It struck me today that we are getting old, and it will not be long before younger men -<wiif come to take our places"
 He then passed on. and Senator Alli- son, turning to Mir. Foraker. said:
 q had not thought of that, but 1t is true. We are, indeed. getting old, and our term of service is near the end.
 Tn the drawing of seats in the house today the names of Wadsworth, of New York, and Rixey of Virginia came to- gether. This coincidence moved an on- locker to speak of the last time they came together.
 .It was in a debate on the agricul- turaI appropriation bill" he said. You know. Wadsworth Is chairman of that committee. Rixey was denounctng the committee vigorously because it had been promising for years to do some thing for Virginia. and had not done 1t yet. wadsworth tried to pour oil on the troubled waters.
 "The gentleman from Virginia must remember" said he, that Rome wasn't built in a day"
 and if Romulus and Remus had been on the agricultural committee II wouldn't be built yet
 "wadsworth was so engaged at the laugh that followed that~it LOOK aim two days to calm down,
 Twenty years ago Private" John AL len, cheerful and versatile young man from TupeIo. Miss. stood up in front of Speaker John c. Carlisle. and took the oath of office as representative from the First Mississippi district for the first time. Then he stepped over to the box at the right of the speakers chaAr and dropped in a bill. providing, for the erection of a public building at Tupelc. Years passed on and Congresses came and went. But Private Allen continued. Seven times he stood m front of the Speaker and swore to up- hold the Constitution, and each time hs dropped in the box that bill for the public building at Tupelo. Fame and honor came to Private Allen. but no public building reared its stately walls on the vacant lots of Tupelo. With wit and story. argument and plea, Private Allen strove for this mons
 ument to the glory of his residenti@ of futility of his endeavors, Private AL len sadly and regretfuliy relinquished the struggle. and the Hon Ezekial Samuel Candler, Jr., took it up. Today, for the third time. MT. Cand- Ter took the oath as representative for the First District of Mississippi, which includes within it's dcmain the city of Tupelo, and this afternoon, for the third tinle he introduced the bill providing for the erection of that long delayed public building at Tupelo. Congresses come and Congresses go. they say in Washington. but the Tupelo public building is eternal.

Mrs. Jack Gardner Goes over Pier
pont Morgan's Offer OF $4,000.
j. Pierpont Morgan and Mrs. Jack
Gardner are hungrlly watching one an
others efforts TO buy from Count Cos
tarelli of Mount Auburn street Cam
bridge-husband of the famous Maude
Murray, to whom fortune gave brains,
beauty and wealth--hls fistful of dust
that once was part OF the flesh and
special dispatch to the New York Press.
The treasure consists Of a laurel leaf
from the bronze crown which encir-
cled the brow of Dante when he was
carried to his last resting place and
some of the dust of the poet taken
from the tomb thirty years ago, when
the ashes were removed from Rayenna
to Florence.
This composite relic was considered
so priceless that 1t was sealed in gold
case and placed in strong vault of
Costarelli castle, In Sicily, with the
idea that it would remain forever a
family heirloom unless the Italian gov
eminent desired to acquire it. Recent
| III, however, Its fame led to such tempt
ing offers for its purchase that Count
Costarelli, who represents the family,
has been induced to consider them.
The contest has narrowed down TO
Mrs. Gardner, who is said to want the
relic for her Italian palace, and Mr..
Morgan, who has spent enormous sums
In the past few years on art treasures.
Mr.. Morgan's offer is understood to
have been $4,000, and Mrs. Gardner is
willing to improve on this to the ex-
tent of few thousands There Is a
feeling among art lovers in Boston that
the relic will find its way TO the palace
