Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the In
furious effects Of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools in
North Carolina says:

and had been troubled with her heart

the coffee, and asked him concerning

Il was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought a pack

The whole family liked it so well, that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.

Troubles Of People on Venus.

Inhabitants of Venus, if there are
any, must feel it extremely difficult to
establish units of time. Venus always
turns the same face toward the sun !;
so the planet has no day, and the
lack of moon deprives it of a month.
Finally, it has no year, for it's axis of
rotation is perpendicular to the plane
of its orbit, and the latter is almost
circular.

are the men who will receive favors from
Gov. Stubbs; but those who write tell

Gov. Stubs wonders IL his experience
Is similar to that Of other Executives
throughout the country. II he were TO
believe all the letters written to him by
~oonviots not less than 90 per cent. OF the
men in the penitentiary are absolutely
innocent. and the other 10 per cent. are
only partially guilty.
Occasionally the Governor receives a
letter from a convict who doesn't pretend
to be innocent. One Of this kind which
came in the mails a few days ago con-
tanned a sharp fling at former Governor
Hoch who, 1t has been reported, pardoned
the murderer Arnold because he wrote
a sentimental poem which has been
printed in THE SUN. The ~convict's name
is withheld by Gov. Stubs. but his letter
follows:
Judging from what I have read, from
conversations held with inmates OF this
penitentiary. l have arrived at the con-
clusion' that l am the only guilty scamp
in this place. / can't plead innocence.

no flowers blooming in the conservatory

some this leaves me. Better kick me out
Of here lest corrupt the morals OF This
institution"
This letter is written in a remarkably
fine hand. White the letter is refreshing,
in that II il different from hundreds Of
others received from the same institu-
ton, II is likely that before he grants any
favors TO this convict the Governor will
recommend that he begin the cultivation
Of flowers in the conservatory OF his

in lest many times since IL was first ht-
tered by former Gov. Hoch before the
graduating classes OF the State Uni

idea it conveys.
Ordinarily the convicts write that
their morals, which were good when
they went into the ~penitentiary. are
being corrupted by the many criminals
around them and that they want TO get
out where they can lead useful lives.

there Is an indescribable thrill OF anxiety

KANSAS NOVELTY IN PAROLES
PRISONERS TO GET OUT MUST
AGREE no ATTEND CHURCH.

Also Prayer Meeting Once q Week and

Idea Of Gov. stubbs-Change in the
Tone Of Appeals From Prisoners
TOPEKA, Kan. June l2.-Gov. Stubs
Of Kapsas has established a new require
ment In the parollng and pardoning OF
prisoners In the State ~pcnitentiary. Here
after when a convict Is liberated on parole
or by absolute pardon he must stipnlate
ia writing that he will regularly attend
church. Sunday school and prayer meet
ing once each week. If the prisoner is
hardened the Governor will have no re-
course II the agreement Is violated but a
paroled prisoner could be returned to the
penitentiary.
The parole law Of Kansas provides that
a convict must agree to keep away from
bad associates, seek employment and
lead a moral life.
"Ihave added church going and Sunday
school service to the list" Gov. Stubs
told the correspondent for Tue Sun.
because 1t is the kind Of influence which
ought to surround every man Oh woman
who comes out OF a State penltentiary.
I shall insist upon this agreement from
every prisoner paroled, no matter how
exemplary has been his conduct in the
penitentisry.' .
Gov. Stubs does not believe much in
the innocence Of men or women who get
into the penitentisries OF the country,
He entertains high opinions Of courts and
juries that try and convict them, and he
does not believe a Governor should set
aside their judgments.
The Governors attitude has become
known in the State ~penitentiary, and the
letters which are being received at the
Executive Office in Topeka from convicts
are Of a different tenor from those that
came during the late Hoch administration.
Gov. Stubs must also be convinced that
a man is penitent before he will grant n
parole or pardon. W If the Judge. the
jury and the prosecuting attorney who
convicted him. petition for the mans
release. He says penitence is one Of the
worlds greatest virtues.
