Father Ryan Talks to Prison Inmates

In the chapel of the state prison 23O
men gathered and listened to the adj
dress of the Rev. Father w. K. Ryan,
who conducted the services at the peni-
Tertiary Sunday afternoon.
1t was a group of men with strange
faces, stolid and immobile. They were
seated in two classes. On the one side
the men who did not wear their striped
coats whose hair was long and had
only the number on their backs to tell
that they were convicts. These in the
eyes of the guards were better behaved
than their brothers who sat apart from
them and wore stripes and had their
hair cut short.
Few of their number had the faces of
weaklings. Derelicts and imbeciles may
be found in jails and poor-houses, but
seldom in the penitentiaries, for doors
of energy-misguided energy-places
men behind prison walls, and circum-
stances and environments focus the di-
rection of energy. Father Ryan per
ceived these things, and emitting doc
trinal dogma, dwelt on the fact that
circumstances fashioned lives of men.
Speaking informally, as though con-
Quoting a conversation with a small
group, he gave the boys good cheer,
and he ignored reference to whatever

did not even mention the prescribed
theological punishment for crimes and
did not allude to the pangs of con-
science which it was their lot as Grim
inals to suffer. His message was one
of hope and confidence.
He spoke of the bright and beautiful
things of life, told the men stories and
made them laugh and did not fear to
desecrate the Sabbath with the little
informalities that made the convicts
enjoy his address. For a time they for
got the high stone walls, the iron bars
and prison guards, and sat as men
would sit who came with their own
volition and not by command.
When the. sermon ended and when
the choir sang its last song, the men
arose, each class separate, and filed
from the chapel in the prison. lock-
step, watched by the silent guards

Good Luck.

The story told in the daily papers of
the snug fortune secured by an Ogden
lady by reading accidentally of the
death of the father whom she scarcely
knew, and had long forgotten. shows
how good fortune falls to the lot of
some.
Some twelve years ago a stranger by
the name Of John Game came to the
office Of F. e. McGurrfn, then doing
business in the Atlas block He had
some money to invest, and being fully
convinced that the securities were the
very best he placed his hard-earned
fortune in his care, leaving the next
day for California Mr. Game who
was born in Isle of Man, had family
troubles which he carefully concealed
from his banker. During his twelve
years residence in California he would
write occasionally when he needed
money. After his death, which occur
red two months ago, the original sum
deposited had doubled itself. Were
there any heirs, and who were they?
We're questions which Mr. McGurrin.
president of the Salt Lake Security and
Trust company, undertook to find out.
He succeeded. Mrs. Buckley of Ogden,
with her mother, called at his office and
showed conclusively that she was Mr..
Gaines only child and the only claim
ant for his estate, as her father and
mother had been for many years legally
separated. Mrs. Bulkley inherits the
entire estate, which is more than dou-
bic the original sum deposited. notwith-
standing that Mr.. Game made many
Withdrawals to meet incidental ex-
penSeS.

Sacred Heart Academy.

Notwithstanding the unreasonable
weather, there is a decided Thanksgiv-
ing atmosphere around the academy,
for the graduates are preparing pa
per which promises to be interesting
and amusing. AS it is the first time
the entire class has made a formal
appearance as entertainers. expecta-
tions run high and we feel safe in pre-
dieting that the results will be in pro-
portion to the sanguine anticipations.
The musical intermissions will be rem
dered by the members of the class,
which counts on it's list some of the
best vocalists and most atlented elocu-
tionists of the institution.
November has claimed many for
eternity. among them mothers of for
mer pupils. Saturday brought the
news of the death of Mrs. Neil Mum
70, Ely, New, just as~we had realized
that Mrs. Garrett O'Neill of Evanston,
Wyo., had gone to her long rest. To
the afflicted families of both we offer
sincere sympathy, and an assurance
of prayers, and to the daughters, our
former pupils, the tender affectionate
remembrances that only religion can
suggest.
Numerous callers are noted on the
visitors register this week, among
them Mrs. D. Gamble Peterson, who
spent a day with her daughter Austa
of the class '0S; Mrs. G. Oberdorfer,
Salt Lake, whose eyes were rejoiced
at the sight of her three lovely chill
dren, Ruth, Dorothy and Lucille, and
Miss Edith Hawley, 'O2, who received
warm welcome from former teachers.
Brief but pleasant was the call of Mrs.
B. Allard Wolf, whom business brought
to our city, but whose old time affec-
