PARoLINe FEDERAL PRISONERS.

including North Dakota--the federal
government has adopted the parole
system with certain notifications. I'm
der the terms Of the federal parole
law. any prisoner In federal peni-
tentiary-who has conducted himself
well-may be released at the expira-
ton of one-thlrd Of the term for which
he was originally sentenced. Like the
state laws, the federal law requires
that some one shall stand sponsor for
the prisoner-that employment shall
be found for him in advance OF his re-
lease-and that he shall report himself
regularly to the federal authorities
until the expiration of the fun term for
which he was originally sentenced.
The federal government has acted
wisely in this movement as it is along
more humanitarian lines and shows a
tendency toward reforn--rather than
the exclusive object OF Furnishing Of
tenders.
Generally speaking the parole law
has worked well. For one thing it has
relieved the taxpayers Of some bur
dens. For another the paroled pris-
.oners have usually behaved them
selves.
Some federal prisoners from North
Dakota will be affected by this ruling.
The most notable, perhaps. will be
Andy Jones, the Rugby banker. If
| he is strictly on his good behavior he
can get out on parole at the expira-
ton Of one-third of his sentence. 1t
will be a great boon for him--as three
and third years at Leavenworth
wouldn't seem as long as ten.

Vast Unknown London.

There is not a single man living
who knows all London, who has been
through every street, or into every
crescent square and terrace. This
seems a hard saying, and it is one
which visitors from abroad or the
colonies find it impossible to believe,
but nevertheless it is absolutely and
incOntrovertibly true. Let anyone
take a map of London and try to
mark in red all the streets which he
can honestly say he has visited and
he will have to confess that he
