A Run for Her Money.

(AJOLING a little dog to surrender a
~ ten-dollar note is responsible for the
nervous upset of a young woman whose
dwelling place is not for from the Public
Library.

exclaimed when it was all over. but

She was willing to tell how 1t came
about, and to vouchsafe that she was
employed as telephone girl in an apart
ment house, but this was the boundary
of her condolences.
Emerging from the library she encoun-
tered the small dog. which had shaken its
muzzle or had been sighted in the dis
tribution. 1t grabbed her skirt with a
gutteral exclamation. and tugged right
vigorously. At first the girl was amused.
Then she worried.
AS a matter Of fact the skirt was frail
and fimsy. 1t was. moreover. only
makeshift. She was preparing to take a
belated vacation at Atlantic City and
was saving her most attractive apparel
for the Boardwalk.
The dog held firm. The girl trotted
along, keeping pace. lest the fabric give

begged and pleaded. but her voice seemed
only to spur her tormentor to greater
speed.
Suddenly occurred the idea of a counter
temptation She leaned forward. Offer

instances the maximum limit for which
a prisoner may be held is the maximum
limit for the offense prescribed by the
code, While in other cases the limit is
determined by the court within the time

good behavior may have complied with
the rules of the institution that he
might return the sooner to the outside
world and perhaps to a life of crime.
But the man out on parole has con-
ious to take up some line of work and
lead an honest life. The difference be-
tween the two systems is best shown
by the statement that a prisoner to
whom an allowance called good time
has been made is released because he
is good; while the prisoner whose term
is shortened through the enaction of
the parole law is released because he is
good for something"
In close connection with the parole
system as a form of punishment is
the probation system. This probation
law is considered with favor by men
interested in penology. Massachusetts,
in 1873 first adopted this system, and
since that time it has extended so rap

The conditions under which prisoners are
paroled require that they. shall have en-
ployment; that they shall avoid evil asso-
Citations, live an orderly life. abstain from

''The most critical time in the life of
man who has been convicted of crime
is the occasion of his release from
prison." said Robert v. La Dow, super
intepdent Of federal prisons of the
United States Under the parole sys-
tenn man finds employment and less
temptation to return to his old life of
crime. The parole system, which
shortens a mans actual term of i'm
prisonment but still keeps him under
the supervision of the government,
should not be COMPOUNDED with the al
lowance which is made him by statute
on account of his perfect department
in prison.

well, they are in some respects like
all human critters-they get off the job,
but not very often. There Is something
fascinating about hotel life that appeals
to them, possibly the fact that it affords

go long way to find one and the chance

But the bellhop has his troubles, just

be polished all the time and he must
wear black socks.

his face ard hands should never suggest

How many hours do they put I'm at
such a lively gait?" asked the reporter.
We'll. in nearly every hotel OF any i'm
portance the boys are divided into two
squads. They work six-hour watch one
day and twelve hours the next. From
the time that the first five or six go on
duty in the morning until they march out
to be relieved by the second squad they
are on the jump every minute of the
time. They tell the story that one new
boy thought he would like to keep track
of just how many miles he would travel
In the course OF his work. He bought

does not make any difference who the
caller 1S-man or woman-the bellhop Is
the one person invariably called to the
an who wishes him to button up her waist
In the back, or a very stout gentleman
who is unable to lean over and button
his shoes. He may be asked to find the
elusive collar button that invariably rolls
next to the wall under the dresser. OF
course he must know how to pull a cork
without giving the room a shower bath
and impart any information without get
ting red in the face. Indeed. il it were
not for the fact that there are ladies'
maids in the hotel he would be- called
upon to mind the baby while the doting
parents went shopping or sightseeing.
But ii all makes very little difference
with the belhop. He is there for the job
and what there is in it. When he marches
to his job on the bench, walking as
though the pay car were due to pull out
in a minute, he takes his seat and is
ready to take his turn as quickly as the
