A Humane Sheriff.

1t is not often that a sheriff be-
comes humane or sentimental to the
prisoners in his charge. They are
all alike to him and in the main he
classes them all as vagabonds and
is not often wrong in his diagnosis.
There is at least one sheriff who
pities and sympathizes with these
unfortunates and would send them
back into the world with kind words
and renewed hope. This sheriff is
Robert w. Chanler of Duchess coun-
ty, New York, brother of former
Lieutenant Governor Chanler of New
York The Chambers, although
wealthy from their Aston lineage and
Inheritance, assume no loftiness of
manner and wear no badge aristo-
cratic. They are not merely demo-
cratic but genially SO. and seem to
make political life and position only
lever and fulorum with which to
work the public good.
Robert w. Chanler wanted to be
sheriff in order to improve Jail con-
ditions and has made the Poughkeep-
sic jail the cleanest and most sani-
to expire and last Wednesday after
passing fruit and cigars around to
his charges, he gave them q little
heart talk. 1t is worth reproducing:
'tBoys, John Townsend has been
elected sheriff. He is going to be
here three years more. Sos Ed Ha-
vens. They're both fine fellows.
Perfectly white and decent. Straight
and on the level. I'm glad and sore
you. You didn't vote for them. But
If you were out 7 know you would
Most everybody else did. You'll all
be out of here in a little while.
Don't come back. You're too fine a
lot of fellows to be in here. Most
of you came here through drink.
Cut it out. It's no good for you.
Don't drink any more and you won't
come back here any more. Be de-
cent. Be on the level with everybody
and you'll be fair to yourselves. Wei

Easy Prescription.

Speak the word cheerful.
Costs not a penny.
It may bring sunshine
Down upon many.
Things most annoying
Then will not matter
II by the wayside
Smiles you will scatter.
You may be happy,
Though hardly spending
Money or effort,
Just by unbending.
Just by relaxing
Some of your features
For the detected,
Woebegone creatures.
Troubles in plenty
There are in pickle.
But II the fancy
Light you can tickle,
Just by your presence
Set some sides shaking,
You can send skyward
Many an aching.
Speak the word cheerful.
Have a smile handy.
For II there's craving
More than for candy.
Let your laugh ripple
Breezy and sunny.
Beats all the tonic
Purchased for money.
