MORSE DONS PRISON STRIPES.
Former 'Ice King" and Banker Oc-
cupies Steel Cell.

Atlanta, Ca, January 3.-Charles
Wyman Morse, former lice king and
millionaire banker, at noon to-day
began the service of a flfteen-year
sentence in the Atlanta Federal pris-
On for violation of the national bank
ing laws. He is registered as Con-
vict No. 2,814, and tonight occupied
steel cell not in the least different
from those to which are assigned to
several hundred prisoners. His i'm
maculate tailored garments gave way
to a regulation suit of stripes, nor
did the distinguished prisoner escape
the Bertillon expert, the prison pho
tographer, the regulation bath of, the
barber.
Mr.. Morse arrived from New York
on the Birmingham Special at
1O.45 a. m, in charge of two depu-
ty marshals and accompanied by his
friend and close business associate,
W. P. Reid, of Boston. He declined
to be interviewed, but made no pro-
test when the cameras Of the news
paper men were trained upon him.
He was placed in hack and driven
to the prison, three miles from the
terminal station. There the formali-
ties incident to the entry Of all pris-
oners were promptly entered upon
and completed before the dinner bell
sounded. Because he had not been
vaccinated, Mr.. Morse was not per-
mitted to eat in the big dining room
with his fellow convicts, and his first
meal was served in his cell. :.
Except when his pedigree" was
being taken, Morse showed no signs
of emotion. The prisoner turned
over to the clerk $21S in currency
and some private papers. Because
there was no evidence of violence
shown in the prisoners record, he
was assigned by Warden Meyer to
Class a." which entities him to the
privilege of seeing relatives or friends
for thirty minutes in each two weeks
of his confinement. He may write
and receive letters and have access
to the library.
Morse will arise at 5 o'clock to-
morrow morning for "house detail" "
and at 7.30 o'clock he will file into
the big dining room with the motley
horde of prisoners, white and col
ored, whose crimes range from
"moonshining" to murder. He prob
ably will be assigned to the tailor
shop or put to work on the construc-
ton.
Mrs. Morse, formerly the wife of
an Atlanta hotel proprietor, Is ex-
pected to arrive here from New York
tomorrow. After conference with
her husband she will return to New
York and take up in earnest her de-
clared purpose to seek a pardon at
the hands Of President Taft.

scribed the stockade as the "dirtiest,
foulest place on earth, dirtier than
any pig pen"

HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I T was the day before Thanksgiving
and it was bitter cold, for the
n snow lay knee deep and the wind
seemed to have needles in it. Gilbert
stood before his employer with a dis
satisfied expression on his face.
"And, Gilbert, if you don't mind I
would be very glad if you would spend
tomorrow here, for l am expecting an
important telegram.
Gilbert consented, though he had
planned to go skating.
The following day he sat in the office,
but no telegram same. Time seemed
to pass slow, but at last it was 6
O'Clock AS he rose to go the click of
the operator caused him to throw
down his cap, and in a minute he
had the telegram.
1t was a message of Importance to
his employer. He must have it as soon
as possible, but who was to take it.
He sat few minutes, then with de-
termined face he set out for the en-
ployer's, who lived four miles away.
The snow was falling fast and thick,
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-27

and it seemed to Gilbert he would
freeze with the biting cold. But he
plodded onward, half stumbling, half
falling.
He saw a faint light in the distance
and with renewed courage he crept on.
AS he reached the porch of the house
he fell into an exhausted heap. The
next thing he knew he was sitting be-
fore the fire.
He felt something in his hand, and
looking down he saw a crisp, new bill,
amounting to 800.
He bowed his head and raised his
heart in thankfulness to Him, for he
knew how the money was needed in
his fatherless home.

moved Mr. Mason's shoes, while the
other one brought in some snow with
which they rubbed his hands and face,
which soon took out the frost.
When they were alone Mr.. Mason told
his family how he came nearly to los

"As l crossed the roadway near the
old MILL" said he, "a large oak tree
fell with crash right across the rail-
road tracks, and as the seven-forty
express was due about that time l ran
as fast as / could to rive warning

there I found it locked, so emptied

Taking a newspaper I crept as far as

Juniors Tell Aunt Laurie Stories About Thanksgiving

Dear Aunt Laurie:
kkO F COURSE not. Eric. We can
have one of our own chickens
" without paying a cent, and
turkeys are awfully expensive
Virginia, being oldest, assumed the
authority of a mother over the boys.
The younger, Tommy John, could not
remember his mother, and therefore
took this for granted; but 14-year-old
Eric, being scarcely a year his sisters
junior, defied her authority
But we're going to have turkey,
he insisted, "if 1 have to buy it
with nv own money. Tommy Johns
never tasted one and he's wild to-
well" responded Virginia, "if you
think it's so important that you'd
spend your own money, I'll help you
out with part OF the allowance"
Thus it was settled to the satisfac--
ton of all-especially of 4-year-old
Tommy John.
Early Thanksgiving morning Eric
went to the barnyard to get the tur-
key he had purchased the day before.
What was his Astonishment to find it
gone! Virginia could think of no eX-
PLANTATION, neither could their father,
and Tommy John could not be found,
though he had haunted the barnyard
the DAY before.
After q trulIleSS search lOi TIC oiA

largest rooster and let Tommy John
think 1t was the turkey. Hell never

Therefore, what was their surprise
when, climbing into his high char
at the dinner table, Tommy John re-
marked innocently, Doesn't de
schicken look good!"
"Chicken?" they all echoed. It's
turkey, isn't it?"

There was once a little girl named
Lily, who had a pet turkey, and she
loved it very much.
One day it ran away and Lily then

Lily lived in the country, and one day

Says Kyle Would Make a
Good Senator.

Editor Sentinel: | would be glad t.
see the enclosed clipping, from a re
cent issue of the Jackson Daily News
in your paper. 1t gives me pleasure tx
endorse it.
John c. Kyle is one Of the purest
men yer in public life in Mississippi.
AS a private citizen he measures up to
the highest standard. Should he get
to the senate he would be the same
faithful, Woodworking man hat he has
always been, and if he his
candidacy, he has legions of loyal
friends throughout the state that will
rally to his support.
COUNTYMAN.
Hon. John c. Kyle, who was ore of
the candidates for United States sena=
tor before the recent caucus it is said,
may enter the race fer senator against
Senator Leroy Percy and former Gov
ernor j. K. Vardaman next year.
"Advices to this effect have reached
Jackson, and Mr.. Kyle's friends be-
lieve he will have as good a chance of
winning before the people as any other
in the race. He is being urged to
make the race, and if he finally con-
sents probably will make his formal an
nouncement in a short time.
Mr.. Kyle has always been strong be-
fore the people. He has a strong fol-
throughout the state, ard his
friends take rather an optimistic view
Of his probable candidacy. He is a mar
known for his honesty and integrity
his part of the state, and is
.affectionately referred to as Honest
John Kyle"
He served several years in congress,
where he made a good record. He
ined up with the opposition in the re-
cent fight before the caucus, and was a
strong factor in that contest. He is an
able man, and a successful man of af-
fairs, and his name stands for as much,
f not more, in his part Of the state,
than any other man.

A LISTENER AT CHURCH
Impressions That Came to
Him From the Sermon.

Editor Sentinel: While sitting in the
| pew of one of the churches Of our town
| last Sunday and hearing the minister
discourse upon the p~ardoning power of
God and mans duty, many, many
thoughts passed through my mind, and
/ hope you will allow me space in your
i paper to briefly state some IF the impress
sions that came to me.
! thought Of the mar who had trans
crossed the laws of the state; about
his arraignment, his trial, his convic-
| ton and the sentence of death Eeing
passed upon him; the anguish of heart
of his dear mother and father, sisters
and brothers and other relatives and his
friends. Oh! what price would they
then willingly give for a pardon and
his release.
Then ! thought Of the condemned
man being led out to the gallows ar d
while standing there on the scatfold a
!pardonfrom the pardon authorities being
received. Then l could see the joy and
the shouts of gratitude that would go
up from his loved ones and friends.
Every mar is condemned, not to die
upon the gallows, but to miss heaven
unless he receives a pardon through
Christ.
If this be true, and no one will deny
it, why are We not as Jealous and as
| desperately in earnest about getting
| the pardon for our children, relatives
and friends that must come through
our Savior as we are the pardons that
do not reach beyond this life? Mans
stay in this world is but a moment as
compared with eternity. Then to get
ourselves straight for eternal affairs is
far more important than apardon for
worldly affairs. However, | would not
have it understood that | mean to I'M
dervalue correct habits clean, up
right life here is almost an assurance
of divine favor.
Another picture came to my MIND
while following the preacher. Suppose
it were made KNOWN to every either
of Grenada that sometime, it may be
within a few hours, within a few days
or within a few years, a train was te
pass Grenada that was to take each anc
all to an unknown land where there
