Southern Prisoners.

southern PRISONERS.
The other day an American citizen who had
been confined in a Mexican penitentiary for six
months remarked that he had rather be executed in
this country than serve another term in Mexico He
said that each day was living death and that the
conditions we're unbearable If this gentleman had
been confined in Southern prison.. he swonld per-
haps have found conditions equally as bad as those
in Mexico The camps of the South are the most
degrading type Of punishment that is to be found in
the world and this is in country that makes every
pretenson of being humane to the poor and unfor
tunate.
Colonel Byrd was recently appointed to investi-
gate the convict lease system in Georgia. and here is
a few of the incidents which came under his obser
vation: Forcing prisoners to work fourteen to
twenty hours day; providing them no clothes, no
Shoes beds, heat in winter, and ventilation
whatever in single rooms in Summer in which sixty
prisoners slept in chains allowing them to die, when
sick, for lack of medical attention. abominabe food
that was unfit to eat; beating to death old TOT.
feeble to work. robbing prisoners Of their good time
allowance for good behavior, and beating young men
for trivial offenses."
If the foregoing charges are true the conditions
in the South compare very favorably with the atroci
ties committed in Siberia or with those that occur
tnfuonJ turkey. IL Is passing sCrdnee CnaC some OF
the leading Southern writer's do not attack this
shameful system and expose those who are respon,
sibe for it's decadent features. The time will surely
come when the self-respecting people of the South
will the day that it permitted such terrible things
to happen in her midst. In fact the government
should step in and suppress this barbarous system
that bids fair to outriva the monumental crimes that
are being committed in the Kongo Free States.
No country that deserves the honor of being
called civilized should tolerate such system; and
the South owes it to her chivary to abolish it, for i,
is not in keeping with her famous traditions

TOdUu and Tomorrow.

Today and TOMORROW.
WHAT have I made IF today? Has it been q
day that shall want to remember, because awoke
with happy heart, went to my work with gladness,
undertook it with joy, and completed what the day
held out to me with all the perfectness of which
am capable? Did meet its disappointments bravely
did withstand it's temptations manfully, and was
not forgetful of my brother? Was I kind and
thoughtful? Was honest and sincere? Am glad
that I have lived today? What shall make of to-
morrow? Let it be better day than this day, a
truer day. deeper day, wherein may learn more
wisely, think more nobly and see more clearly
Let me know little more of charity and little
more of love; be little mindful of the feelings of
children, little thoughtful of the feebleness of age
Let me be little quieter under vexation, little
stronger under temptation and little sensible
of the part am here to play. Let me be frank and
true, that may look into my friends eyes without
shrinking and into the eyes Of him who thinks he is
my enemy, without fear Let me understand little
more the radiance of the sunshine and the deep blue
of the sky Let perceive the sweetness of service
the satisfaction of effort and the glory of honest
work Let me master the lessons Of the day and SO
become more master of myself And SO may it pass,
quickly but helpfully, quietly but happily full of
compensation for every trial and comfort for every
hurt until the shadows come again out Of the dusk,
and shall lie down to think of another day wherein
! must 60 forward. ST. Paul News.

VIM Not Try?

Why Not Try?
WE HAVE often heard men say that they never
thought they could quit this that bad habit. The
quitting of 'bad" habits is simply question of ex-
ercising ones will power 1t matters little what
man wishes to stop, that if he makes up his mind to
do SO, he can stop it. If he is smoking or chewing
too much, eating or drinking to excess swearing
too often he can curail any of them by simply ex-
ercising his will power.
It is not necessary for any one to take the Kelley
cure to enter an expensive private saniarum, to
be confined in the peniteniary in order to stop the
drink or morphine habit. Some will differ with me
on this point, and say that if the drug be pro-
cured the inveterate will surely get it; that he
finds it absolutely impossible to leave it alone. Hy
pothetically this may be true, but must canddy
admit that if one was to with himself that he
does not need it strongly he thinks the drug is
necessity to him, he is bound to conquer But if
one permits ones will power to become elastic
q rubber band, his habits are going to lead him
as easily as bellwether sheep leads its flock.
Some men possess abundance of will power,
and they can become as obstinate a stone wall;
but others have very little will power principally be-
cause they have neglected to cultivate this important
function-important because it often sways the des-
tiny of the individual for veal or woe. The man
with an explosive, imperous temper has only his will
power to blame for not keeping it within bounds
By the exercise of little forethough this be OBJ
waited as easily as one can break himself Of using
one dollar bills for pipe lighters.

Gift of TONGUES.

Gift of Tongues.
THERE is sect in Spokane, Wash, called the
apostolic saints" the members of which claim to
possess what is known "the gift of tongues" Not
one of them can interpret this so-called language
nor are they aware from whence it came. Believing
that they have been inspired and commanded to go
forth and preach their doctrine to the heathens they
have abandoned everything and sailed for Japan
China, and Korea. AS these devout missionaries
will arrive at their destination absolutely in destitute
circumstances it is likely that they will be deported
as undesirable citizens. This would dampen their
ardor considerably but they could resort to their gift
of tongues to fttngly express their feelings.
In biblical times the people were continually
told to beware of false prophets but in this age it
seems that there any number of people willing to
be blinded by false prophets matter how prepos-
ferrous their claims are.

are anxious To see the art treasures of

To Make a cIoset.

To improvise a closet put up long
board shelf on iron brackets. Swing
. pole or stick under it, attached by
wire to the board. On the pole put
wire hangers which will slide con.
veniently along. Clothing hooks may
be secured into the board. AS for cur
tains, do not box.plait them in, but
put only box plated or a plain rufiie
around the top and hang the curtains
by small brass rings upon wires
placed underneath the edge of the
board and kept there by screw eyes
at the corners and where the curtains
part.
Muslin-covered dressing tables
made from boxes should have the
draperies similarly hung. For these
the box plating should be attached to
the muslin cover of the top. Two Of
these should be made, since the top
will need laundering far oftener than
the draperies. E
For closet like the one described
two boards may be put up, forming
shelf, under the curtains for hats and
sewing.
