One of the inmates in the re-
pair shop has made very ingeni-

ing overhead shafting. The can is
attached to pole, and all that is
necessary to release the oil is to
place the spout over the box and
pull downward. With this kind of
oil can it is not necessary to use a
ladder, and it eliminates all dan.
ger from coming in too close con-

Dear Father appreciate your
advice and shall follow your in
structions-that is, be patient, and
smile even tho l am being con-
sumed inwardly by conflicting
emotions. 1t is an easy matter for
one to land behind the bars, but
difficult TO get out no matter how
good ones intentions may be. It
makes me smile whenever I think
what an easy mark [ proved to be
for the smooth sharper who help
ed to land me here. l always prid-
ed myself on being as honest as
any man. Still. there are extenu-
ating circumstances. I guess was
tempted at the psychological mo-
ment, and thus fell from the sub
lime to the ridiculous without be-
ing fully conscious of the gravity
of my otfense. repeat, had l re-
allied what this disgrace means to
you and all those who are related
to me by the sacred bonds of kim
ship, why I never would have as
saulted the majesty of the law.
God forbid!
In the years to come the stigma
of this crime will percolate it's way
wherever I may go. Friends will
casually remark to others: "Yes,
Johnny is smashing good fellow
and all that, but he has been in the
penitentiary. Of course that elm
mates him. etc. When Father
Time enfolds me to his bosom my
disgrace will be dug up again and
blazoned forth in the press. Dad,
1 know I am up against difficult
proposition and, accordingly, I am
stiffening my backbone SO as to
face the situation bravely. 1 shall
not be gutter. l am going to
place my standard at the head of
the procession and face the music
j like q winner.
Yours truly,
Johnny.
/ NV Dear Son The oftener
hear from you why the better !
like You. I am pleased at your
determination to face the world
like victorious hero and not like
cringing coward. The man who
is looking for pity will find it, just
as the man who is seeking trouble
generally gets all he wants. I am
not going to preach to nor apbraid
: you for yielding to temptation, mol
shall I tell you that your detention
is for the good of society.
, My son, I know hundreds of EN-.
inently respectable persons who
have committed worse offenses
then yours, but they are not be.
r hind the bars. Some of them were
/ not found out, and others escaped
the consequences by small mar
gin-and fat fee. Altho they
have not been punished, society
still manages to survive. In New
York within a stones throw oil
Trinity church men contin ually
evade the law with cunning thai
would cause the ancient Spartans
to blush for shame. I am not tell
, ing you this as an excuse for your
! crime, but merely wish to poin'
out to you a few of the complexi
ties of life.
1 Hoping you are still in good
health and getting few more
strands of wool from your eyes, ]
remain,
Sincerely yours,
