Selfish Youth

Youth is apt to be selflsn," said
Mrs. Mary E. Wilkins-Freeman. the
distinguished novelist. at a Matuchen
picnic.
Woman in her youth" she went on,
'is especially apt to be selfish. I'll
never forget the story Of the young
man from Boston who stood in the

PRISON LIFE IS a LUXURY
convlcts Have Delightful Time In
the Comic Opera Jails OF
Switzerland.

Prison life in Switzerland is a luz
ury instead of punishment. The
comic opera jail at Thorburg, where
the inmates did as they pleased, has
only recently been suppressed by the
Berne authorities, yet details are pub
lished Of similar institution at Sar-
men, in the canton of Oswald.
Sarnen is apparently an ideal penal
resort, for the happy criminals who
are sentenced to terms Of detention"
In that institution have far better
time than hundreds of free" Swiss
citizens who are forced to earn their
bread.
A correspondent of a Lausanne pa
per states that he was passing
through Sarnen when he saw mum
Der of men. dressed in dark blue
clothes with white stripes, walking
about the village, smoking and joking.
Others were seated in cafe, and
some were working in leisurely man
ner, carrying bricks for the construc-
ton of new building To his as
constituent the correspondent found
that the men were convicts from the
cantonal prison close by.
These convicts are permitted to
leave the prison early in the morning
and find work around Sarnen, or walk
about the country until nightfall, when
they return of their own accord to
the prison
They are unaccompanied by ward
ers, and there is nothing to prevent
their escaping. but they are far too
comfortable to think of relinquishing
their quarters, for they have as much
liberty as other men, and are, more
over, fed and lodged for nothing.
The money earned by these con-
victs who choose to work can be spent
as they like. One convict, who is en-
ployed as gardener by local mag
istrate, sends his monthly salary to
his wife and children
Two or three convicts escaped"
some weeks ago, but they eventually
returned to the prison in half-fam-
ished condition, and after being Sc
verely reprimanded, they were al
lowed to return to their apartments

NOVEL RULING BY CHIvINGToN
President Of American Association Or
ders One Inning to Be Played
to Settle Dispute.

President Thomas Chivington of the
American association promulgated
one OF the strangest decisions in base
ball history, ordering the second game
OF the double header between Column
bus and Minneapolis on June 80,
which went only seven and one-half
innings, to be finished after a regu-
lar game to be played here soon.
On June 80 Umpire Guthrie called
the game with Minneapolis ahead, 8
to A, on account of darkness. Man
ager Friel of Columbus protested the
contest, and it was established that it
was light enough to continue play.

Days O. dream--the summer days when
the world is still
Save for laughing breezes murmuring
across the hill,
When.we look across the fields to the dis
tant wood
And the breezes sing a song never under
stood;
Never clash nor clang that grinds in the
city street,
But world of quietness. soothing. silent
sweet.
Splendid idle days are these where the
flowers blaze
In a scented glory all along the grassy
ways;
Wild rose nodding in the wind and holly
hooks aglow
Where they stand as sentinels solemnly
arrow,
Honeysuczle tossing forth its scents that
go adrift
Till they break in perfume spray where
the hilltops lift.
Aye, and white, white clouds that sail
through the summer blue,
Sending down mystic hail to the soul Of
you'll
Gold and purple in the dusk and silver in
the dawn,
Casting racing shadows that speed down
the fields and on
Piling in thousand shapes and glinting
In the sun
Till your lazy eyes half close at all the
magic done.
Days o. dream! A brook that sings and
babbles to the stones,
Telling of the treasures that the spend
thrift summer owns.
And the hush above it all-the hush that
is song
Which the heart has hungered for these
many days and long.
Can the little road that loafs and RAM
bles up and down
Ever lead our feet again back to the
noisy town?
