That the possibilities for a poor boy

, About this time Mr. Gusack made W
his mind 10 study law. SIS the men folks
on his mothers side have been lawyers
for generatons. One Of them was al
the court OF the Gar during the time
OF the Crimean war.
When Mr.. Gusack was in Connecticut
his father had removed 10 Washington.
When the glass mandatory al Hart

MAxIM,s LEATHER MEDAL.

TEXT BOOKS, NOT FICTION,
MOST POPULAR WITH CONNECTS

What kind OF books do cOnyicts read?
Contrary 20 the general BELIEF, this class
of men, at least in the Federal prison at
Leavenworth. do not show marked de-
sire for the blood ana thunder stories,
nor even for other light fiction The
most popular books among the prisoners
in the 7.OJO-volume library Of the peni-
tertiary are textbooks and works on
the various trades and languages.
Among the languages Spanish is the
most popular, and in the last few years
several prisoners have taught them
selves 70 read and write the language.
The textbooks upon French and Ger
man come next in popularity, and these,
as the Spanish books. are always out of
the library.
The trade books are even more popu-
lar than the works on languages. and
those upon plumbing and engineering
especially are often spoken for months
In advance The demand for books on
blacksmithing. bricklaying, stonesettins.
and other artisan labOrs are always out
Of the library. Many Of the prisoners
are excellent worl1men, as the new
buildings which are being built by con-
vict labor indicate.
Books CT poetry and the standard nov
els are read by the prisoners to great
extent, and the mathematical works are
always in demand. Many of the pris-
JnerS read Shakespeare, and the works
of Bryant LOngfellow and Whittier
have many admirers Dickens is poRS
ular author often asked for. Robert
Louis SteVensons novels find many
friends among the convicts' as do the
works OF Edgar Allen Poe. II is not an
usual for prisoners to ask for books
upon theology. A prisoner is allowed 20
take book from the library for two
weeks at a time. If no other prisoner
desires il then, he may have the time
extended another two weeks. Dozens of
the prisoners subscribe for newspapers
and magazines Among these are many
technical Commissioners City Jour
