An inmate OF the state prison writes
TO a friend In town In appreciation Of
the kindly policy Of the present prison
administration towards the convicts
imprisoned there, as follows: I'VE
had splendid Christmas. The warden
certainly did his part In making every
one happy. Those with a previous ex-
perience said there never had been such
an effort upon the part OF the officers
to make all feel that they were inter-
ested In the inmates. Why. the war;
den and deputy warden personally re-
malned In the dining room, so as to
see that each prisoner was properly at
tended TO. ] doubt II there are such
officers In any other prison. Then tho
efforts of the Christian Endeavor pris-

their Christian love for Gods lost sheep
were most successful. The boys en-
joyed the singing and are Still praislng
the gifts. The only thing lacking was
time The boys had sufficient, but the
visitors not enough"

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence OF climatic conditions

Government Land BY Lot.

The New Spelling Pledge.

The latest pledge which We are called
upon To sign is the result of another at
tempt 10 reform the spelling OF the Eng
lish language. The numterless incon-
s,stencies and incongrnties in IN"
spelling of commonly used words nave
long been a matter which has serious
ly troubled those VINO nave taken Occa-
sion to think about such things, but at
tempted reforms have only been III
vain. and so each succeeding gener-
:,tion Of school children is put through
the familiar and illogical fortunes Oh
our spelling book. But here comes
new band of reformers VINO have de-
clared their independence and VINO IN
vite others to join. in Sigring what they
can the ~ word pledge We are told
all about this pledge and the movement
in general in the latest number of the
independent. and it makes very inter-
eating reading. The II words which
the spelling refOrme-s propose to re-
form are: program, catalOg. decalog,
prolOg pedaSog, demaSog. tho, altho.
thoro. thorofarc. thru. and turnout. In
the list Of original ''sisncls" we find
Francis March and Thomas II. Louns-
bury among philologlsts. w. d. Howclls
and Samuel l.. Clemens among novel
lists, y. ID. Hills and NJ. J. Savage
among clergymcn, ami l.. Benz. An
d,cws and Judge Dav;c ]. Brewer
among publicists.
These reformers make out Il strong
ease and do not lack arguments to sup
port their position, and then they pro-
ceed TO go far towards spelling thu
whole thing by admitting that tins
pledge which they have signed, and
which they ask others TO sign, only
binds them to adopt the new method OF
spelling i'm private correspondence,
aud not when they write for publ
c?,inu. This addition ot Il double cod
Of spclling to the uncertainties and in
constituencies OF our language only add!
TO tho evils of which the reformer!
complain. IL they are unwilling t.
pledge themselves t. use their new
method in public. they cannot have
very much faith in il or be very ardent
in their desire for Il spelling reform. II
IS very easy to predict the end of such
~ movement. Public preference for the
Id familiar forms is something very
difficult to overcome. In nothing are
the people more conservative than in
such II matter rs this. The new forms

will b. left tn cranks md humoristS oi
