Go to Jail.

A great hygienic idea has been
evolved from the Imprisonment of
forty-odd London "suffragettes" in
Holloway Jail.
1t viii be remembered that not
long ago these demonstrative ladies
marched upon the house of com
mons demanding a woman's suffrage
bill; attempted to assault the speak
er and to wreck the place, and 9TH
erwise made themselves particu-
larry obnoxious to the powers that
be
A day or two ago they were re-
leased from their durance vile and a
great celebration took place at a
ssweHn restaurant. There it APP
peared that the ladies had gained,
rather than lost, in health and
spirits by their incarceration. We
are told that zone of them pro-
nounced her prison life an enjoyable
experience, She especially approved
the vegetarian diet"
This opens a very interesting
question. Why may not jails be
made self-supporting by running
saRitarium annexes for the benefit
Of the overfed and too self-indul-
gent citizens? The stern regimen of
the life would be productive of vast
good, If the suffragettes' experience
is OF any value

OF these Thurston has been anything
but mascot to the Presidents enemies.
Devoted to the belief that Roosevelt is
a menace TO party and country. Thurs
ton has for years overlooked no 6pp0r-
tunity to afr his misgiyings. -Four years
ago he was well knoVn as one Of the
leaders Of antagonism. II was he who.
at a famous banquet of the opposition
when Il was gfrding its loins for the
Hanna movement in 1904. referred to
Roosevelt as a candidate whom every
body is for, but whom nobody wants"
Later the Senator discovered that his
epigram was truthful only as it includ-

sAsslNa Oh TAE YEAR.


(Iy J. N. Carnos)
The latest leaves are falling.
Witbered leaves;
IThs vintiy winds are brawlins
Round the caves:
The bclated birds are flying
10 the southwark, Yainly signing
Ger the autumn flowers dying;
Nature grieyes.
The year Is slowly drawing
TO a close;
Like dirses sounds the cawing
OF the crows:
Ana the shivering clouds are sailinl
In a struggle unavailing
no escape the wild wind, waillng
As he goes.
And the weary. outworn. hoary
Passing year
Breathos sympathetic story
In mine ear.
Ny summer. too. Is pass
And the keen autumnai blast
Its leaves are scattering fast.
Brown and sere.
Ny winter comes apace.
Day by day,
And with tender grace
Steals away
The strength OF manhood's prime.
And where erst was fiowery time
He spreads the frostwork's rime.
Old and gray.
Yet hold him truest friend
OF my life.
For with his coming end
Toll and strife.
His influence. kind and good.
Has curbed my passions food
And cooled the ardent blood:
Once too rife.
Not for youths cphemeral pleasures,
DO weep.
Nor manhood's tinsel treasures
Would I keep
Content with home and friends.
My life on God depends.
And when It's measure ends
shall sleep.
