sMARSHALSEA" STILL STANDS.


Portion of Prison Made Famous by
Dickens AIay he Seen Yet.
Among the few places still strongly
reminiscent Of one of Dickens most
famous works-"Little Dorrit"-is
Marshalsea prison, a portion of which
may be seen just across London bridge
on the south side of the Thames, says
an exchange. This place is often
sought by American visitors, but it is
by no means easy to find. There are
several narrow courts and turnings to
negotiate; and, as the inhabitants of
the district are of the very toughest
element, inquiries as to the where
abouts of the relics meet with little
response. Most of the denizens of the
district think you mean a saloon when
you inquire for the "Marshalsea" and
kindly offer to show the way, their
good nature being only exceeded by
their anticipation of favors to come
in the form of liquid refreshment.
Tucked away behind lot of build
ings, after passing through a place
called Angel court, there still remains
a portion of the Marshalsea prison
wall. The paving stones of the little
garden which faces this wall are the
actual stones which at one time
formed a portion of the prison. In the
Introduction to Little Dorrit" Dick
ems thus describes this spot:
Whoever goes into Marshalsea
place, turning out of Angel court, lead.

on the very paving stones Of the ex-
tinct Marshalsea jail; will see its
narrow yard to the right and to the
left, very little altered, If at all. ex-
cept that the walls were lowered when
the place got free; will look upon the
rooms in which the debtors lived, and
will stand among the crowding ghosts
of many miserable years"
If you stand in the little recreation
ground facing the wall you can read
a tablet inscribed as follows: "On
this site was originally the Marshal
sea prison, made famous by the late
Charles Dickens in his well-known
work, Little Dorrit. Just above this
is the name. of firm of machinists.
The prison bars in the windows still
remain as in the days when the place
held it's motley crowd of debtors.
Among these, it will be remembered.

novelist has described under the

Extey ninating Prairie Dogs.

In cooperation with the stockmen.
the United States Forest Service has
begun an active campaign against
prairie dogs on the infested ranges
within fine national forests of Arizona
and New Mexico. Successful attempts
at poisoning prairie dogs were made
last spring and summer by the forest
service In other parts of the country.
and this year the work will be carried
on much more extensively The poison
used To put an end to these little pests
OF the Western ranges is prepared by
coating wheat with a preparation of
strycbnine. cyanide of potassium, anise
oil. and mOlasses. The stockmen SUD-
ply horses and men and the poisoned
wheat is given out by the government
Officers for distribution upon ranges
within the national forest areas The
action of the poison is almost ;nstan-
taneous Most of the prairie dogs are
dead within an hour or two after the
bait Is dropped. Early last month
$500 pounds of wheat were prepared
in Albuquerque and shipped 70 the
various national forests in Arizona and
New Mexico to be distributed This
quantity of wheat will make approx
mately 6.020.0OO bats, which will clear
up an area of from $1,000 to $4,000
acres. at a cost. exclusive of the labor
of distributing ii on the ranges. OF
about l 10 u cents an acre. The
poison is used to best advantage in
early spring when the dogs first come
out of their winter quarters and be-
fore the green grass is plentiful enough
TO appease their appetites. As all
Westerners know. prairie dogs are
among the worst enemies with which
the stockmen have to contend.-Boston
