Island, near sandusky, Ohio"
1000 Prisoners Confined.

The greatest number of prisoners
confined on the island at any one
time, was about 5000. This was just
prior to the close OF the war. All in
all, about 10000 officers and soldiers
were imprisoned there, and 220 deaths
were, recorded. Fourteen Of the dead
were buried on the mainland.
When the first prisoners died Mr..
Johnson gave his consent to their buri-
al on the island, and the cemetery
was laid out under his personal direc-
ton. No lease on the land was ever
executed and no compensation given
for its use. Subsequently, at the
close of the war, Mr.. Johnson, at his
own expense, built a wire fence
around the plot and kept it in repair
for several years. Later on an officer
from the Columbus federal barracks
visited the island and had the origi-
nal fence removed and a more sub
stantial one erected in it's stead. For
many years afterwards the cemetery
was allowed to fall into decay until
in 1881, the veterans of McMeen's
post, Grand Army of the Republic, of
Sandusky. Ohio, paid a generous trib-
ute to the men who had fought
against them. They had the GENE
terry weeded and cared for and on Me
mortal Day following, held services
there similar to those held over the
Union dead in Oakland cemetery

MRS. SAGE TO PROTECT
VICTIMS OF LOAN SHARKS
Her Millions are to Be Used to
Capitalize Model Loan
Establishment

NEW YORK, April Mrs. Russell
Sage is to devote some of the millions
left by her husband to saving the poor
and needy of this state from the usury
of loan sharks. The Sage millions are to
be used to capitalize a company of model
loan establishments, which will advance
money on chattel mortgages at the legal
rate of interest.
THE Sage fortune cooperating with
Orion H. Cheney, state superintendent of
banks. has prepared the plan and it only
awaits the final approval of Mrs. Sage.
She has just returned from trip across
the continent and is expected to settle
the final details of the plan at once Ac-
cording to mar. Cheney the new loan Of
fees will not only ne of inestimable bene-
fit to the poor, but will drive the usurers
and loan sharks out of the business, or at
least cripple them. He has been for
some time in waging war on these loan
sharks and is very thankful for the aid
proffered by Mrs. Sage.
when the Sage fortune enters this
field" he said today, lit will not only
accomplish a worthy mission but il can
be made financially profitable.
Those concerns which take such unfair
advantage of the unfortunates who are
financially embarrassed will be either
driven out of business or forced to quit
their business, or adopt the Sage plan.
1--WE have just introduced into the legis-
lature a bill which provides for many re-
forms in the personal loan business. I'm
der this measure all such organizations
must have a paid up capital of $4,000
besides filing a bond for $4,000. 1t also
provides that If the character and gener-
al fitness of the persons interested In
these associations are not satisfactory to
the superintendent of banks a license can
be refused"

And when twas dark and the lantern lit
The Captain to the fellows said:
And the boys had wood both chopped and
split
They all sat round the blazing fire
Each wrapped in quilt or night attire;
For the clothes of each were hanging high
On ropes and poles and limbs to dry.
They talked of the fun and the picnic play,
And how they were all dressed up that day,
And the five cute girls and their jolly chat,
And how the girls admired the cat,
And the songs they sang and the swing they
made,
And the picnic lunch and the games they
played,
And the boys agreed that rain and all,
And camps upset with the thunder squat,
That this one day was the jolliest yet
Even if they did get good and wet.
Jappy whispered to little Dutch,
1.-The girls from school, me like them much"
And Dutchy answered, But I like best
The one eyes twinkle more all the rest
Before the boys turned into bed

And Muffles seated in the bow
And the Prince showing Jap and Dutchy how
To wind line or bait hook
Or to cast for fish in shaded nook,
The lake was calm and the weather right
And thousand fish prepared to bite
And all enjoyed the sport that day
And the boat and lake so much that they
Forgot at noon their lunch to take
Or to go ashore their fish to bake
Till Dinkey said about six o'clock
That he proposed the boat to dock.
They all agreed and Prince Domino
With hand on rudder said 'Let her CO."
The fellows rowed with all their might
And made that boat go like kite
Till Mufles gave warning cry
AS straight ahead he cast his eye,
For in the water where he could see
Was the pointed top of cedar tree
The Prince called Stop and they slowed
bit
But twas too late for the tree they hit
And the sharpened point came with crash
And their little boat went all to smash.

A new JUVENILE STORY by SEYN
Illustrations by C.H. TWEIvETREEs
Each InStallment a COMPLETE STORY
Fishing Accident

TWAS a thunderstorm that made them run
And spoiled the end of their picnic fun.
They had almost reached dear granny's door
When darkened sky and crack and roar
And lightning flash and rumbling noise
And gusts of wind told girls and boys
That they would better shelter find
And leave their picnic pranks behind
Captain Dinkey was the first to scare
And in half a minute he wasn't there;
Just disappeared with lightning flash
And was out of sight before the crash.
The farmer lad with his motor kite
Started for home but said he d write
From England China, Brazil or Spain,
Or perhaps not till he got back again.
For he meant, he said, to begin trip
Around the world on flying ship.
Prince Domino sent the other two
Back to the camp some things to do;
To close the tent and there to stay
And keep their goods from blowing away.
Then he looked about and shelter found
Beneath some overhanging ground
Where trees and vines had made bower
Which hid them safe from wind and shower;
And there the five girls in bunch
Laughed at the rain and nibbled lunch
And sang their school songs, new and old,
And played with Muf1es and riddles told.
THEN Domino picked from vine and tree
The prettiest leaves that he could see;
Some brown, some green, some colored bright,
As leaves are shaded by the light.
Then Mufaes chose leaf for each
fortune-telling game to teach.
The Prince then gave each leaf look
And read it off just like book;
Told each her age and about her folks
And where she lived and made some jokes
About the boys they liked to meet;
And told each girl what she liked to eat;
And then gave each the leaf to keep
To put under the pillow when next asleep,
For whatever you dream on the leaf, said
he,
Your future fortune will surely be-"
When the game was Ger and the storm had
passed
The little girls started home so fast
That they forgot until well away
To wave goodbye or say good-day.
THE ground was wet and clothes were damp
And things upset around the camp;
But when the prince returned that day
He gave some orders straight away
To build camp fires and clothing dry
And supper of bacon and eggs to fry;

Where they hired a boat without delay
And rowed around the wooded shores
