Convict Labor In Building Of Roads.
AT recent meeting of the national
good roads board. held In New York
city. Senator G. 4. Lassiter Of Virginia
outlined the method Of building roads
with convicts 10 the Old Dominion.
G. Gordon Men. the chairman Of the
board. has decided to make canvass
Of the entire United States to find out
which states employ convicts In the
building Of roads. This will be fol.
lowed up later with an effort to get
other states to use convict labor In
road building. There Is a general
movement to abolish convict labor In
lines Of the industry where II inter-
feres with organized labor. but In no
section Of the country does organized
labor object TO the use OF convicts IN
the building Of good roads.

In her time. which amounted to six
years, Patsy had many dolls, not one
OF which. however, had survived her
motherly solicitude, and In their dis
rupted state much OF the duplicity
OF doll nature had been revealed to
her.
There was baby who did not go
to sleep because she was sleepy. but
because of leaden ball at the back of
her eyes. and there was another with
her head full of stale crumbs of cake.
which Patsy. self-denyingly, had SO
often gently forced between the part

There was still another, beautiful
Annabel Lee.
These were Patsy's dolls. Patsy's
children were different. She had
touched them with the magic Of her
thought. and they lived and moved
and were hers. Back In the dim ages
OF Patsy's memory her son, her daugh-
ter. and her baby had had another
existence. but SO gradually had their

Her boy had been succeeded by an
old shawl which covered the machine

baby, though 1t spent many happy
hours on the floor, no one confounded
1t with red carpet footstool. Even
