During the hour and half before court
begins, when the work is the heaviest
with a note book and pencil in hand Mr..
Massie visits all the cells and has a talk
with each of the prisoners in turn. He
makes notes of requests. of stories to be
inVcst igated, of relatives to be notified
of the hundred and things that help
less people want. Tobacco is always in
great demand. and the prisoners can pur-
chase il of Mr.. Massie. The man with the
tired aching and swollen head and trem-
bling limbs. who has been out with the
boys the previous night, is given medicine.

the agent. looking through the bars into
one of the cells for male inmates and
catching sight of a gray haired. roughly
dressed man. II thought you were behav-
ing yourself-so the officers told me a few
days ago.
Il met friend and" the prisoner
started to reply.
Il know the rest interrupted Mr..
Ma5se
Il got money comm to me from my
get it stated the prisoner.
MIR Massie inquiries the name of Il t. Joss
and communicates to him the employees
need for money. In many cases this is
the only way that prisoners are saved the
humiliation of a workhouse term. Some
times the employers offer to come to the
court and pay the fine. but in large num-
Der of cases they simply say that the man
has money coming to him. but they are
too busy TO take it down TO court. Then
the agents good offices come in. He often
advances the money to pay the fine, the
condition that the prisoner draw his wages
and pay back the advanced. In other
cases where Mr.. Massie does not care to
take the chance he himself goes across the
city or even into the country to get the
money with which to pay a fine.
Another morning found young man with
pleasant face in the dock of the court.
The policeman's story about him was that
he had been rescued from the tidal basin,
where he had tried to commit suicide The
prisoner was Respondent and he seemed to
care little what was done to him or what
became of him. Mr.. Massie began to dig
into the causes of the trouble. 1t had
y
girl of his own choice and not the girl
of his mothers choice. Unfortunately he
took his young wife home to live with his
mother and sister. All was not merry, but
when he was at home there was no friction.
After time in his absence he learned his
mother and sister did nos associate with
the young wife and refused to let their
friends see her. Finally the husband was
called out of town on business for a few
DAYS. and in his absence, driven to des-
peration, the young wife went to her
mothers home When the young man re-
turned he found that his wife had dc-erted
him and his mother and sister offered no
explanation of her absence When he
sought the residence of his mother-in-law
she accused him of mistreating her daugh-
ter and refused him Ambulance. and he
was unable to see his wife and child.
Mother and mother-in-law were too much

eleven poor fellows could learn that we
have been picked up and are back in Mel
bourne and that a vessel will be sent to
rescue them. They have plenty of fresh
water in the creeks on the island, and of
course they can live seal and penguin

we built there cannot afford much comfort
when you remember that every day gales
prevail with almost incessant snow storms,
and as the days go on they must have
become more and more convinced that 1

their deliverance is hopeless.

Giant Oak Falls.

On Saturday night, June 20 there was
a heavy Northeast storm which struck
the Pa1isade section and lasted several
hours Down near the pathway leading
to the ferry stood a giant oak, meas
uring fully thirty-six inches in diameter.
1t was a monster of the forest, with
three great trunk branches each at
least fifteen inches through. The tree
stood sixty feet from the root to top
branch After the storm at six O'Clock
Sunday morning July I, this grand old
patriarch of the forest suddenly fell
with a terrific crash that was heard
for blocks away, stretching its massive
length directly across the pathway In
vestigation proved that the butt Of the
oak was rotten, there being scarcely s
inches of sound timber TO the outer
rim. The wonder is that being hollow
and thin for six or eight feet I'D from
the ground, it sent life to the upper
branches and retained its vigorous look
so long. When it fell there was. al
most perfect calm. There were earth
quakes records made at that hour in
Washington. Could it have had any
underground connection with seismic
disturbances?
