IS AN EARNEST man
JUDGE CLEEAND, FATHER OF
CHICAGO PAROLE SYSTEM.
Municipal Court Jurist Has Horror of
Prisons-BelieVes Our Penal Plan
Is Mere Machine for Max
ing Criminals.

icago.-Municipa Judge McKen-
zie Cleland, father OF Chicago's parole
system, is an earnest man. He was an
earnest boy, and he has taken life
seriously since the days when he
pitched hay on Minnesota farm.
Nobody is altogether good and no
body is altogether bad, but most peo-
pie stand in need of reformation.
That is the creed of Judge Cleland,
and he has made up his mind that
part of that reforming must be done
by himself. There is a strong strain
of rugged Puritanism in the man,
which, however, is softened by a GER
tain kindness and tolerance which
was conspicuous by it's absence from
the characters of those stern old war
riors who rode the chivalry of Eng
land into the dust and made the new
world possible.
Judge Cleland was born with a hor-
ror of many things-a horror of ire
ligion, a horror of intemperance, a
horror of vice, and, above all, a hor-
ror of prisons. He is inclined to con-
denim the whole penal system as a
mere machine for the manufacture of
criminals.
To the general public Judge Cleland
is best known as the man who intro
duced the parole system. When he
left his private practice to sit on the
bench at Maxwell street he had be
fore him an unequaled opportunity to
put into practice some of the theories

Out for = Drink.

'In no branch of the government
service are employees so vigorously
locked for absence as in the postof
fice," said one Of them the other day.
Working hours are kept track OF even
to the merest fraction; so that last
week when, ten minutes before closing
time, a clerk was summoned home be
cause his child was dying, his absence
counted from the moment he received
the message. But for all this strict
ness they have never stopped Ger
tain near-sighted old IriShman in my
department from going out for a drink
He is willing to lose pay any day
rather than remain thirsty, and he
works the most amusingly childish
game of getting out. About twice a
week this hot weather he comes to my
desk blinking painfully and thrusts
under my nose pair of old-fashioned
steel spectacles minus one lens.
There, sor,' he says, rubbing his eyes.

Thu Sion of Power.

It is the greatest manifestation OF
power to be calm. 1t is easy to be
active. Let the reins go, and the
horses will drag you down. Anyone
can do that; but he who can stop the
plunging horses is the strong man.
Which requires the greater strength

man is not the man who is dull. You
must not mistake calmness for dull
ness or laziness. Activity is
the manifestation of the lower

were then mercilessly pelted with
fusillades of sharp-pointed rocks. But
the real fighting occurred when the
Kafirs, filled with dismay at the
carnage that ensued in the pits, en-
deavored to retreat.
On the following morning a very
pathetic sequel to the battle occurred
when Stoffel, grievously wounded,
dragged himself back to his old home
at the store. 1t was a painful and use
less journey, for the buildings had
been burned to the ground and nothing
remained but the smouldering embers
But Stoffel had come home for a
definite purpose. He at once began
to scrape and dig among the ruins
| until he succeeded in finding a few
rags and a small bottle containing
some liquid. Tenderly he stanched
the flow of blood with the rags and
emptied some of the fluid into the
wound. Feeling no better from the

another bottle. His faith in the rene
