EX-CONV|CT TELLS
/. TALE Of CRUELT|ES
IN IONA
SAYS PRISONERS ARE FLoGGEr
AND STARVED FOR FAILURE TIC
COMPLETE TASKS TOO HEAVY
FOR THEM.

James Jones, aged %, paroled Sat
urday from Ionia reformatory, tells
shocking tale OF cruelties inflicted
upon the prisoners confined there
Jones. who is a native of New York
was sent up from Sanilac county for
larceny. and was paroled at the end IT
IA months.
Most of the prisoners in Ionia are
employed on prison contracts making
furniture" Jones says. Each mans
work Is allotted To him fer the day.
and the task is often more than man
can do. know how hard the men
work, but despite tLeir best efforts
the task Is often unfinished. Then
the punishment follows. The first time
a prisoner Is reported he Is compelled
10 stand in one position with his arms
folded for several hours. The second
time his arms are chained about
post. and in that position he stands
hours. being placed at night In soli-
tary confinement with bread and wa
ter as his diet. The third time. in ad-
Gition TO these other punishments. he
is 'fiogged."
Jones also repeats the charge Of
other prisoners that men who have
been paroled by the prison board are
often kept in the prison until they
complete the tasks assigned to them.
For this condition OF affairs Jones
does not hold Warden Fuller so much
To blame as Deputy Warden Jerry
Walker, who, he says, has charge of
the men at work OH the contracts.
Jones is paroed III charge OF j.
Morris Fischer, and has come to De-
troit. hoping TO get work here.

Here are number of don'ts for
smokers. some of which no doubt win
surprise good many men: Don't
smoke directly after meal. There Is
the most irresistible craving to smoke.
but 1t Is wiser to walt a half hour or
an hour. Don't smoke out OF doors
IN a high wind or In cold, frosty
weather. In the former case it is dam
gerous, and in the latter it cracks the
lips and prevents proper breathing.
Don't smoke with the cigar or pipe
held at the corner OF the mouth. This
excites the secretion of more saliva
than when the cigar or pipe Is held
straight ia front. And, above all.
don't get in the bad habit of expecto-
rating Frequently when smoking. II

Sour MIX Cow.

The woman was new to the country,
and her host took great pains to ex-
plain to her whatever she didn't un-
derstand about the farm. He had little
regard for he truth, this farmer; he
delighted to test her gullibility to the
utmost.
The cows seemed TO interest her
more than any other domestic animal.
One of the cows had lost her tail
somehow, and this fact aed the woman
to ask why 1t was.
"Thtt's the sour milk cow" the farm
er explained. with a straight face.
eve always clt the tail off one cow
in the berd SO as to get sour milk
fresh every day"
TITO woman looked her doubt.
Its perfectly true" the farmer In
sisted. ~You see. when the cows tail
is gone the sun shines continually on
the cows udder, and the constant heat
sours the milk"
But the woman still doubted.New

THE HONEYMOON PARADE.
Wedding Custom 10 One Town When
the Train Is Late.


A small city. which need not be To-
Gated more particularly than that II -
somewhere east Of Boston. has its own
peculiar way of speeding the newly
married on their honeymoon.
For one thing. every one goes to the
station TO see the couple depart This
Is done in many small places. The
showering Of rice or confetti and the
throwing Of the old shoe take place.
not at the home Of the bride. but at the
station. To that extent the city re-
ferred to Is not unusual.
But in this city train schedules fire.
quently 60 awry. and when they do
the unusual happens The wedding, of
course. has been celebrated ON time,
and the reception has taken as much
time as such things usually take. The
departure from the brides home Is
made In due season to catch the train
II 1t Is on time.
The wedding guests rush TO the sta
ton. where all other Inhabitants hav-
ing nothing better 10 do have assem-
bled already. 1t Is free show which
no one would miss
The carriage bearing the newly mar
ried pair Is drawn by white horses and
decorated with white ribbons. Custom
demands this and no one has yet had
the temerity to do otherwise.
The carriage arrives at the station.
and 1t Is learned that the train Is 80
many minutes or so many bours late.
Usually the measure Is in hours.
The carriage doesn't wait 1t goes
parading. 1t drives around and around
a prescribed route. from every point Of
which the driver can get due notice OF
the approach of the train.
The crowd remains patiently at the
station. Other curious persons station
themselves at points along the route
just to see the wedding coach pass.
Sometimes two or three carriages,
drawn by white horses and decorated
in white. swing steadily around this
hymeneal circuit. 1t seems like an
endless procession. 1t is not unsuai
for wedding pair 10 spend the first
FIVE hours of their honeymoon just rid
ing round and round waiting for the
train
When the screech of the locomotive
finally is heard the driver continues tt
swing up to the platform Just as the
train comes to a stop. Then the bride
and bridegroom make mad rush for
their car amid a shower of rice and
confetti and old shoes. The honeymoon
parade is over Exchange.

The real Bowery has never been
written up, and probably 1t never will
be, because 1t is swiftly passing. Hun

and soul--for the Bowery has both, as
well as reserve-are a sealed book to

ebb and flow OF the tide. while all
about them is the ceaseles. activity Of
commerce. OF development, moving
onward and upward despite the cease
less cross current, which no literary
mariner, cruising In these uncharted
waters, can understand.
Those who know it best and have
some skill in writing as well as some
understanding are so overwhelmed by
its endless complications. its infinity
of contradictions, its astonishing good
ness and its frightful depravity. the
bathing mystery of its wonderful hu-
manness and its fantastic mystery,
that they do not dare attempt 20 write
even what they know. Only one man
in all literature could have interpreted
the Bowery-and Balzac is dead
Most of us know the Bowery through
fugitive newspaper sketches and fear
some lurid melodramas The sketches
present certain phases more or less in

weird burlesques. unworthy even of

peated, have butt up fiction that has
