HOW He GOT OUT OF
THE DEBTORS PRISON

BY THOMAS BARBER JuDsoN.
Copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso-
ciation.l
It was visitors day at Ludlow street
Jail, New York. Ludlow street Jail is
a very gentle counterpart of the debt
ors' prison of the olden time.s It's in
mates are those in contempt of the
Inheritance and certain other courts,
federal bankrupts, execution and judg-
ment debtors and breach of promise
and alimony men.
John Decker had finished his break
fast Of rolls, coffee and an egg-he
could have breakfasted more heartily
had he been able to order from a
neighboring restaurant-and was sit
ting in the lounging room reading a
morning paper when a card was
handed him. He looked at it, frowned
and said:
Il understood when I was put in
here that no prisoner was obliged to
see his wife. Tell the sheriff that I
claim the immunity promised"
The message was delivered, and pres
emily the sheriff himself appeared.
'Your wife says, Mr. Decker, that
she has come with the olive branch,
and she told me to say in case you de-
clined to receive her that she has your
son Johnny with her and wishes to
know if you will see him."
The hard lines on Decker's face re-
laxed.
Eyes, if you will bring him in here"
The sheriff retired, and in a few
minutes boy of six came bounding
into the room and, springing into his
fathers arms, covered his face with
kisses. They were returned in kind,
while tear stood in the mans eye.

The Man On the Box.

Last night s play at the auditorium
was just fun all the way from start to
finish of the three acts. The only dis
agreeable feature of the whole perform
ance was the scarcity of suitable seen
cry, which was especially apparent in
the first act where no special scenery
was provided at ALL The company was
good one, especially strong in the
leading parts taken by Wilmer Walter
as Robert Worburton and Miss Louise
Langdon as Elizabeth. Annesley. The
comedy of the story is well developed
in the play and the little dramatic
touch at the end gives pleasing vari-
ETY. to the performance. The amusing
situations caused by the masquerading
of rich young man as the coachman of
the girl with whom he is in love, kept
the audience laughing most of the time
when Worburton, alias James Osborne.

ABOUT
JOB PRINTING.

NJ In order to produce printing of the better
N~kind the three essentials needed in a
print shop are: good equipment, good stock
and brains. Brains are not the smallest part
of the combination, either. No matter how
good the equipment and the stock, printer
cannot produce nice work unless he is a mas
ter of his craft. Our equipment is the flower
of the product of three type fOundries and
four machinery houses. We carry we'll as
sorted line of paper and ink. Our printers
have to deliver the goods in order to hold their
places. All this enables us to produce high
class of work at reasonable prices. We can
print anything from visiting card to full
sheet poster on short notice and give you
satisfaction. Try our combination.

NOW ON STRIKE
Millions of Stomachs Refuse to do
Their Work Properly

All over this broad land millions of
stomach owners are being held in
humiliating subsection just because
they are so stubborn that they will
not accept a fair, square and broad
minded offer.
Life is snort for all of us; it will be
shorter for those who let their stom-
achs go from bad to worse.
The Lee & Osgood Co. has a famous
prescription called Mi-o-na and they
believe so thoroughly in its remarka-
bic curative power that they say to
every owner of a distressed stomach
that they will guarantee Mi-o-na tab
lets to cure acute or chronic indiges-
ton and all stomach ailments or
money back, and the price is only so
cents box.
And still there are stubborn people
right in Norwich who won't accept
this offer but continue to suffer from
gas on stomach, belching of sour food
stomach pains, foul breath, dizziness
biliousness and headaches, just be-
cause-just because-that's all, there
is no other reason.
Mi-o-na tablets stop dyspeptic agony
in five minutes: they cure obstinate
cases of indigestion and turn the old
stomach Into new one in a few
weeks-or money back.

DAY OF AroNEMENT< ,
Begins With Sunset Tonight and Con-
tinues One Day.

With sunset tonight begins Yom
Kippur, or the Day Of Atonement,
lasting until sunset Saturday. and
the most important day of the Jewish
year. For the whole of the "a hours
the faithful do no work and abstain
from food and drink, spending all the
time, except that portion necessary for
sleep, in the synagogue. This is in
following out the old-time rabbinieaI
injunction that fasting alone is of lit
tie efficacy unless backed up by sin
cere penitence and good deeds, while
sins against others must first be
atoned for by confession to the one
who has been wronged and repara-
ton made before the fasting can be
of avail Minors and invalids are ex-
empted by the rabbinical law from
the strict abstinence enforced upon the
faithful and at the close of the days
service the declaration of Gods unity
the words which are repeated at the
death bed invest the conclusion with
we-inspired solemnity.
According to the Talmud upon that
day the people are inscribed upon
either the book of the good or that
of the wicked, which. with that of the
intermediate, are opened upon New
Years day. If those who names APP
pear upon the intermediate book do
not become converts to righteousness
during the period of repentance they
are enrolled among the names OF the
wicked.
