TEXAS SEEKS PENAL REFORM
State Commission Finds Cruelty in
the Penitentiaries.
Prisoners Said 10 BE Subjected to
Whipping and Other Physi-
cal Torture.

san Antonio, Tex, oct. Sp.-That the
lot Of the men in the Texas penitentlaries
Is a peculiarly hard one IS now being es-
tablished by a government commission
visiting the various penal settlements. In
many cases abuse OF authority IS shown
20 have added 20 the hardships a severe
system already imposed.
Prisoners. both black and white, have
been subjected to the lash FOR slight Of
lenses. while hard work and long hours.
bad food, and insufficient sanitation have
made their lives miserable IN the ex-
IRENE. The investigation now going on
has also established that no efforts what
ever have been made 20 reform the I'M
fortmates That the system in force is
purely punitive can no longer ne disputed.
In the majority Of cases not even good
reading matter was AZ their disposal. and
the few books that were found were
Bibles owned by the prisoners. Sunday
Is mostly passed by the prisoners in
gambling
Deserving OF mention IS the fact that
the present investigation was brought
about through the efforts Of a newspa-
per man. George Waverly Briggs. of the
San Antonio Express. About a year ago
he became interested in the matter
through stories OF abuse that came 10
his ears, and ever since then he has been
pounding those responsible for the con-
tinuatiOn Of this Anticipated penal system.
What the result Of the investigation
VIII be IS hard TO say at this time. II IS
predicted, however, that the present hlr-
ing out OF convict labor will be abolished
and that modern methods Of correction
viii 20 some extent take the place OF the
penal principle now applied. Whether
the lash will be eliminated or retained
is not certain
Public opinion in general is against its
retention, but the prison officials who
have voiced their opinion on the subject
so far seem 10 be under the impression
that without the lash little could be done
with the prisoners. more especially with
the negroes. Not all the data gathered
by the commission is being made public,
and for this reason the next session OF
the Texas legislature should be an inter-

REALLY USEFUL HAT HOLDER.
Spiral Coil of Heavy Wire That Can
Be Prettiiy Decorated Is the Best
Yet Devised.

Taking care of a hat when one is
not wearing it is always some
trouble, and putting it away in box,
from which it must be taken out
every time one wants to use it, seems
great bother, especially when one
is in a hurry.
Various hat holders have been con-
trived, some useful and some not
much of success, but the best one
yet seen and the most steady is a
strong spiral coil of heavy wire, the
bottom being larger round than the
crown Of the hat and the top much
smaller.
A girl can buy these spiral wire
holders and make them look very
pretty and dainty herself. The wire
must be covered with ribbons to
match the closet fittings. The cover
ing is done by fastening the end of
the ribbon securely to the bottom end
Of the wire, then winding the ribbon
closely around the wire all the way
to the top. Each end should be fin
ished with bow. The closets should
be furnished with as many of these
holders as it's owner has hats in use.

SUCCESS WITH TRAP NEST.
Small Sum of Money and in
Short Space Of Time.

Henry Grant of San Diego, CAL,
gives the following description and
sketch of low cost and serviceable
trap nest, together with some per-
sonal experiences with his poultry:
1.-THE sketch shows a simple trap
nest which anyone can make out of a
packing box Xxi 2x1S and at practical
ly no cost. The door is set up with q
small stick. The hen IN passing over
the small board dividing the nest
raises the door, which allows the stick
to fall and the trap drops. 1t takes
about four visits day to release the
hens and rest the traps. The labor
involved is practically nothing and is
amply repaid in saving of feed by get
ting rid of the soldiers in the flock.
Two months time is ample to demon
strate what a hen will do. Our own
experience is probably like a good

the poultry business, we parted with
a large silver dollar, after viewing the
exhibits of hens interior Tin alcohol
