theme the life of Paul. She de-
scribed the classical city of Athens
as Paul found it, and told of his
missionary work among the
Athenians. Then she drew several
illustrations of why she believed
ill supreme being, and exhorted
her hearers to accept the faith of
Jesus Christ, to look to Him for
counsel and wisdom and deliver
ance from sin.
After the speaker had concluded
her excellent address, Chaplain
Kennedy, who took part in the
service, introduced a prominent
Christian Endeavor worker oil
Kansas City who described the
work his organization is doing in
behalf of prisoners. Miss E
Hackney sang two solos which
were very appropriate for the oc

AS the prisoners marched from

The ladies also visited the hosplta

Gbautauqua Injecting.

The mee'ing Of the Pierian
Circle held on. August 18th was
rather poorly attended, several
members being absent on account
of sickness. After roll had been
called and new member assigned
to class, a collection was made of
the books that they may be turned
over in good order to the officials
for the ensuing year. The pro-
gram, which received a slight
curtailment in view of the lateness
of the hour, was as follows:
"Telegraphy" Member of Glass
IAN Excursion into Poetry. Secretary
"a Plea for Historic Landmarks" 80. President
The first paper dealt very lucidly
with subject which is as Greek
to the layman. The circle is how
ever possessed of number of ex-
perts on this subject and others Of
like character, who differed con-
siderably as to the time it takes to
transmit message across the con-
tinent. Everywhere from eight
minutes to three or more hours
were the solutions of the problem
offered.
| The secretary's paper called
forth an interesting discussion,
which proved that poetry still re-
tains a hold on the affections of
mankind, however much it's infu.
ence may be dwindling in this
materialistic age. The presidents
paper, also an appeal to the senti-
ment of his hearers, written in his
usual informative manner was yet
somewhat supererogatory, for if
any country in the world preserves
| it's historic landmarks it is the
United States. Everything that
can be done to save that which OF
it's nature is perishable surely is
done. Yet with all the care lavished
on these memorials some future
poet may find occasion to initiate
Omar's lines,
ssThey say the Lion and the Lizard keep
The court where Jam.Shyd glOried and drank
deep,
And Bah.ram, that wild hunter, the wild ass
Stamps DER his grave, but cannot break his
Sleep"
| The newly-appointed critic have.

There were two of the inmates
whose time expired during the
past week, who went out into the
world helpless and friendless.
Both of them are troubled with
rheumatism so badly that they
had to be carried. DR.. O'Brien
took them to the city hospital in
St. Paul where they will be taken
care of. It is bad enough for q
man in good health but without
friends to face the battle for ex-
istence after coming from prison
but it is indeed pitiable to 90 out
helpless when it is so essential to
have good health and plenty OF
pluck.

It is argued that thief who is
born thief isn't thief but

[ had somehow gained the idea
that a kleptomaniac was thief

Federal Judge r. w. Taylor, of
Cleveland, Ohio, has held in
minor offense that federal prison.
er is entitled to a parole when
committed to an institution where
paroles obtain. Mrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick has instituted test
case to determine whether or not
she is eligible to parole under the
rules of the Ohio state prison to
which she was sentenced. 1t has
always been supposed that federal
prisoners were not eligible to pa
role and it has never been at
tempted before; Mrs. Chadwick's
move will be watched with great
interest by all federal prisoners.
The st. Louis Democrat says
''that notone crook in hundred
goes wrong because of poverty and
want, but that he is a criminal
from choice, he would rather steal
than work; that he knows that no.
body ever made even a decent liv-
ing picking pockets, breaking into
houses or holding up people on
the streets; that he knows it is only
a question of time when the gates
of the penitentiary will swallow
him up, yet he chooses idleness
and crime in preference to good
wages and honorable labor" The
writer continues with the assertion
that no matter how good the times
are the crook is always hard up;
whenever he makes haul his first
idea is to spend it; the dives, sa-
looms and gambling dens get it all
and then comes the necessity for
! another haul. The devil pays low
wages on small contracts" The
man who wrote the article is sure
ly a close student of the kind Of
human nature that so largely pre-
dominates among the soJourners
in the bastiles, and pity tits that
what he writes is so nearly true.
There is an old saying, not very
