THE DISTINCTION AND TEE DIP


Perhaps you saw what did I'm a Chica-
go newspaper, where a distinguished
speaker, in talking of prodigals, said the
male prodigal was taken In, clothed and
Toasted, but the female prodigal was kick
ed from the back doorsteps.
It is the truth well illustrated in the
speakers description, because we know
that lewd conduct is condoned In men
where a fallen woman loses caste and Is
outlawed from society.
Children of the same parents-they
may be-with similar environment, but
difference in sex MAKES the distinction In
treatment.
Except for the well understood fact
that more is expected of the woman. and
a higher standard of morals is required
of the female sex, this difference and
this distinction would be simply pre-
posterous as well as unjust. In one sense
thereafter this ostracism Of women who
lapse from virtue becomes a tribute to
the general order OF womenkind. but in
the even scales of justice one sex should
have as much sympathy as the other. and
as to protection. the feebler woman de-
serves the more of II.
In this connection we VIII recall the
Masters attitude when certain men came
before Him, and called for the stoning of
fallen woman. Stouing was the punish
nnent IN those times. and the woman was
guilty, no doubt OF II.
After all had spoken and no word had
been uttered In defense or pity, Jesus
quietly said to these accusers, He that
is without sin among you cast the first
stone"
Directly the crowd had dissipated and
no accuser had flung a stone. They were
not blameless, they knew He had read
their lives. With divine compassion the
Master said: go and sin no more,'' and
the woman went away with hope restored
to her miserable existence and a sense
of relief that she had been rescued from
a shameful death. at the hands Of violent
men. But the world is growing wiser as
well as better, on such lines.
There are homes established all over
the country where such poor girls may
find shelter, decent attention and protec-
ton from those who are still ready 70
cast the stones. The male prodigals walk
abroad with heads up, even those who
have coaxed these Magdalenes from the
paths of purity and virtue.

cial conditions when men VI known I'M

class homes and marry nice girls with
the approval of parents and guardians.

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent. Of Suffering Is Enormous
and There Seems but One
Remedy.

From several investigations that
have been made ny the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
tion of tuberculosis 1t Is estimated
that on an average about Is per
cent. of the prison population of the
country is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the 10000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
of the United States at any given
time, no less than 10000 are infected
with the disease. If the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
We're taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con-
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens ADMIT that these
places OF detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found in
almost every state, and in the major
ity of cases the only sure remedy Is
the destruction of the old Buildings
and the erection of new ones.

ELEPHANTS BATHING TANK

Some months ago the management
OF the National Geological park in
Washington decided that the elephants
In captivity needed bath tub and or
dered a huge tank made After con-
siderable planning and figuring, the
work of excavation was begun for this
monster reservoir. Ton after ton of
suited splendid bath tub 40 feet
wide. sloping gently down to a depth
of more than 10 feet. Around this
was constructed a concrete wall solid
enough to withstand the kicks and
cavortings of the strongest elephant.
A strong wooden barrier encloses the
bathtub and effectually prevents the
elephants from rambling off through
the park after they have had their
daily dip. 1t is very interesting to
watch the big animals as they splash
around in the cool water, or stand
idly still and blink their little dark
eyes in perfect content. They seem
to be in their perfect element when
deep in the waters. The bottom of
the bathing tank is paved with rock
so placed as to keep the big pachy-
derms from slipping, as they surely
would do if they tried to maintain
their balance on smooth concrete
floor covered with ooze. The manage
ment of the park have felt amply re-
paid for the expense involved in the
construction of the enormous bath
tub, for it vastly improves the health
and temper of the clumsy beasts in
their charge.

PRISON CELL ROMANCE.

An interesting story has come to
light of the way in which man I'M
dergoing a sentence in Pentonville
prison, tanned and made a companion
of a pigeon One bitterly cold morn
ing just before Christmas, whilst the
prisoners were at exercise, pigeon,
half-dead with the cold, fell into the
yard. A convict picked ii up. hid it In
his breast, and took II back to his
cell, where in the evening he shared
his food with the bird. Wishing to-
keep the bird for company. he hid the
bird in his breast every time the
warder came round. Quickly the
pigeon became tame, and fast
friendship arose, which helped to pass
the weary hours of prison life. AT
last, however, his secret became
known to his fellow-convicts, and one
man threatened to inform the off Gals.
THE man told his story to a Saliva
ton Army of1cer who visited the
prison, and the latter advised him to
appeal to the governor, who, inter
ested In the mans kind action, gave
NM permission to keep the bird. The
man has now been released, and was
helped into work by some kindly
hearted people who got to know the
little story o. the pigeon.
