PAROLE LAW A
GREAT BENEFIT
SUPERINTENDENT OF PENITEN-
TIARY SAYS NEW LAW HAS
MARKED INFLUENCE ON CON-
VICTS.

The system of paroles adopted a.
the last session of the legislature,
and the plan adopted by Superin-
tendent Reed of the state peniten-
tiary, of dressing prisoners in PLAIN
clothing instead of stripes, has worF-
ed a wonderful change for the better
in the state penitentiary, asserts all
exchange. Discipline has improved
the class of work performed, the men
are more hopeful and are given 20
less disturbance and cause for pun
ishment.
Under the law a man who has
served six months has a chance ID
secure his freedom on parole if he
conducts himself properly. Unless he
makes a good record he is barred
from participating in the benefits o.
the parole law Nearly 200 have
been given advantage of the law, and
but four or five have violated the
conditions of the parole or pardon
under which they were freed.
In the matter of dress, formerly
every man wore stripes, which hurt
his self-respect. Now the plan is to
give the best prisoners citizens cloth
ing and only keep bad men in the old
uniform as a mark of dishonor. Red
striped suits have been substituted
for the black stripes where pris-
oner has been incorrigible or made
an effort to escape. The change in
clothing has had a beneficial effect
upon the entire population of the
prison, and there will be no return
to the old methods.
The prison now has about $50 pop
ulation as against 1856 at high water
mark last year.

and OF how he loved all creatures
Johnny Appleseed was born in
Eoston In 17!5, and although there
is considerable uncertainty N the
records, t has been agreed th.t
January 15 is to be observed as the
exact date of his birth AS a bow he

The first trace of him found in
history records him as being in the
territory of Ohio in 1901 with a
broken-down old horse on whose
back were loaded bags of apple seed.
which he planted on the borders of
Licking creek. The first orchard
thus originated by him is now with
in the borders of Licking county.
He never forgot where he had
planted. When the trees were partly
grown he returned, pruned them and
disposed of them to the farmers for
transplanting, or in some cases for
an entire orchard on the spot he had
originally chosen. If the customer
was poor he could have the trees for
nothing; If he wanted to buy, the
price was "fip-penny-bit" for each
tree and immediate payment was not
required. Johnny usually took a
note to be paid at an indefinite date,
and history records no instance of
his having tried to collect such notes,
as he seemed to regard that when
the note was written the transaction
was closed forever.
His money he gave to the poor,
or spent for books or for the pur-
chase of aged horses. Usually he
had a considerable drove of aged
horses in his care, any of them
bought from settlers whom he had
found abusing them.

]. APPLESEED'S
ANNIVERSARY
UNIQUE CHARACTER WHO DID
GREAT SERVICE IN SPREADING
APPLE CULTURE THROUGH
THE CENTRAL STATES.

One hundred and thirty-four years
ago today there was born in Boston
one of the most novel figures in
American history-Jonathan Chap
man, best known as Johnny Apple
seed, perhaps the most benevolent
hobo and tramp the world has ever
known. The anniversary of his
birth is lovingly remembered by
fruit growers, nurserymen and fruit
pomologists throughout the country,
and especially in the Central West,
where, during his lifetime Johnny
Appleseed planted over 100, 900 acres
of orchards. About a decade ago a
monument to his memory was erect
ed in Mansfield, O., and a prominent
New York clergyman has written a
novel in which Johnny is the hero.
He died in 1847, but the location of
his grave is unknown except that is
is somewhere in the woods that he
loved so we'll.
In Ohio and Indiana they have
many a tradition of the barefoot
man who for thirty years moved
among them with a tin dipper for a
hat and a coffee sack for coat and
trousers, leather bag over his Shout
der trimming with apple seeds. They
tell how he planted nurseries here
and there along the river banks
came back when the trees were
grown, and either gave them away
or sold them for fp-penny-bit'
apiece, and how he died a martyr to
his strange business, after seeding
100000 acres bearing the fruits OF
il.
They tell how, with the Massachu-
sets spirit, he played Paul Revere
for the frontiersmen in the war %
1912 and saved them from Indian
massacre, walking through the
woods from shanty to shanty night
anu day without food or rest, giving
his warning. There are stories IF
how he scattered the seeds of medi-
cinal plants as he passed through
the forests, how he preached his

HATCHERY FLUME FROZEN.

The polar breeze of last week is
responsible for putting the state fish
hatchery at this place out of bust
ness, says the Methow Valley News.
The trouble occurred in the flume
that furnishes the hatchery water
from the brook. Being exposed to
the unfavorable temperature, the
fiume froze up, shutting off water
from the hatchery.
About a million and half of the
silver salmon spawn will be total
loss, despite every effort of Superin-
tendent Hobart and crew to keep the
water running. A batch of 5000
chinook fry were saved by putting
them into the stream.

Should Know How 70 Resist 1t.

The back aches because the kid
neys are blockaded.
Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will ache no more.
Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney
Pills do this.
Archibald Moore, living at 2101
Grand avenue, East Everett, Wash !,
says: "The good results I received
from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills
in 1902 have proven to me by the
lasting nature Of the cure that this
remedy Is one worthy of entire con-
fidence. My complaint was caused
by severe cold which settled on my
kidneys, causing. dull aching
through my back, which compelled
me to lay on from work for several
days. At last it was my good for
tune to hear about Doan's Kidney
Pills and / procured a box. In a
short time every symptom of my
trouble was eradicated and / feel
better in every way. Any person
troubled with backache or other
symptoms of kidney complaint will
make no mistake in giving Doan's
Kidney Pills trial."
