IN PRISON

~ STER SUNDAY IN a prison
- is welcomed as one of the
great days of the year, when
there is a little extra in
diligence in the way of eating and
amusement and some relaxation in the
usual discipline. The prison officials
endeavor as far as possible to make
the day a little different from the usual
Sunday, though. with the best inten-
tons, they cannot do much.
Easter Sunday begins for the prison
ers at about half past I. when the
great prison bell rings and the guards
unlock the cell doors. Away down the
corridor you hear the stamp, stamp,
as of an advancing giant. Line after
line of black and gray striped figures
march out on their way to breakfast.
The messroom, with its rows of desk
like tables. capable of seating more
than a thousand men. looks like an inn
mense schoolroom. At the end OF each
table is a great pile of bread cut in
thick slices. beside which stands a
keeper. Each man on taking his seat
finds before him a tin plate containing
his breakfast, a pint of coffee. a slice
of bread and a knife and fork. If he
wants more bread he holds up his
right hand and the guard at the end
of the table passes 1t TO him. By hold
ing up his plate or cup he can get more
coffee or whatever there may be for
breakfast. Waste is avoided, but no
man need go away from the table un-
satisfied. After a busy quarter of an
hour the keeper in charge of the first
company knocks on the table, and the
men In his charge, some fifty or sixty.
rise at one and form into line. each
carrying his knife and fork in his
hand. The keeper takes his station
at the door, and as each man passes
out he must deposit his knife and fork
in the box provided for that purpose.
If the day is fine the men are
marched around the yard for half an
hour, still keeping their formation, and
a strange sight it is to see the long
lines of men marching in and out around
the building in endless procession.
Exercises over, away they march to
the chapel, which, owing to the eff
forts of the chaplain and his friends,
Is decorated with flowers and plants
disposed so as to hide as much as pos
sible the telltale bars and other sugges-
tive items. Each man as he enters re-
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1910-03-18

ceives a printed program of the serv-
ices, containing also the hymns to be
sung by the congregation. For weeks
previously the prison choir has been
practicing Easter music, and, as a rule,
the prison choir is quite competent to
give as good a choral service as those
of a great many city churches, there
being no lack of well trained voices,
even a male soprano voice being far
from unusual.
The religious services are brief, most
of the time being taken up by the
choir. The whole is over in about an
hour and a half. Then comes the
march back to the cells, each man re-
ceiving as he passes the mess room a
tin containing his afternoon meal,
which consists of three hard boiled
eggs, some cold potatoes and as much
bread as he cares to take. Taking his
place at the lever which locks every
door on that gallery, the keeper waits
until each man is in his place. At the
signal each door is closed with a bang,
snap goes the lever, and fifty doors

count. Each man stands behind his
door, which. being formed of iron
bars, permits him to be plainly seen,
and as the keeper knocks with his key
in Yassing answers Here" A second
Ike per repeats the count, and then for
tbs present each man is left to the en-
joyment of his own company.
At IL o'clock the prison wakes up
again a little as the mess room walters
pass from door to door with great cans
of boiling coffee. Soon all is quiet
again, and little can be heard as the
afternoon drags along except the soft
football of the felt shod patrol or an
impatient sigh from a wakeful prison
er. At 5 o'clock fresh water is served
out to each man, and his lamp is light
ed. Slowly the time drags along until
o o'clock, when at the striking Of the
prison gong all lights are put out. The
great prison is soon as quiet as a city
Of the dead, and Easter Sunday has
passed.-New York Evening Post

The SHAMROCK SO GREEN.
By JOHN
THOUSANDS of shamrocks are sent
TO this country from Ireland

= r. i Vi O101 u 4 0CAAA
to this country from Ireland
for st. Patrick's day. They are
not sent as a commercial proposition.
but as messages of love from those on
"the old sod" to their dear ones here.
The shamrorks that are sold In the
United States are almost universally
American c%lovers. which are larger
than the Irish plant and can be told
at a glance by any true son of Erin.
The real shamrocks are not for sale.
They are priced too dearly by their
recipients to profane them by barter.
They symbolic a sentiment, and sen
timents cannot be bought-that is, u
less they are the imitation kind. 1t is
just SO with shamrocks. Only the
counterfeits are on the market.
So common has become the custom
of sending shamrocks to America thai
there is now what is known as the
shamrock ship" This is the last pos
sible mail steamer to get them here in
time for st. Patrick's day, the senders
delaying to the last moment In order
to have the plants fresh. Most of the
shamrocks are sent In letters and are
moistened SO as to keep. When the
postal authorities handle a fat moist
envelope bearing an Irish postmark
they know 1t is a shamrock letter.
TAs-wattsng nf-the plants often plays
havoc with the letters. rendering the
superscription illegible In many cases
or e causing the envelope to come
to pieces In Il few DISTANCES. 1t is
also probable that the little plants are
sent In newspapers and other pack
ages. The postal authorities are not
very strict at such times and do not
inspect the Irish mail too vigorously
When the shamrock ship comes in
the p~ostoffice people are too busy to be
unduly curious.
Tradition has 1t that st. Patrick ac-
tually brought the shamrock to Ire
land. AS the old song has 1t:
There's a lear little plant that grows In
our isle.
Twas St. Patrick himself. sure. who set
And the sun on his labor with pleasure
did smile,
And the tear from his eye Outlines wet
1t.
II grows through the DOG, through the
brake, through the mire land,
And they call it the dear little shamrock
of Ireland.
The fact of the matter seems to be
that st. Patrick used the three leaved
shamrock as an illustration of the doc
trine of the Trinity-three In one. As
to just what plant the saint employed
there Is a question. Some maintain
that it was the wood sorrel. The cura.
tor of the Dublin botanical gardens
says 1t was the black nonesuch. The
general view, however, is that the
word shamrock is Erse. from seamrog.
meaning little clover, and that means
that the Trifolium repens or Tri-
folium minus is the real shamrock. 1t
is questionable, however, whether
white clover is a native of Ireland.
The use of the word seamsoge by the
Oldest writer's would seem to uphold
the wood sorrel view, as seamsoge
means wood sorrel.

zone of Ireland's daughters must
help to celebrate" she said graciously,
while the color flickered in her cheeks.
Then she went from place to place
and distributed the tiny pots of grow
ing shamrock, the miniature black
thorn sticks and the small golden
harps, which each man attached to his
buttonhole.
She evaded her fathers outstretched
hand and fitted into the lighted parlor
beyond, where she sat down before
the beautiful harp. which was her de-
light, and in her sweet, strong sopra-
no, with its haunting Irish sadness of
expression. she sang 1.-THE Wearin' of
the Green" and Killarney" and THE
Kerry Dancing and 1.-THE Star Span
gled Banner"
Lawrence Grady stole softly in and
sat down beside her. He cast a glance
at her flushed and downcast face, and
his own frightened.
"Margare,p' he whispered SOFTLY
And she turned a radiant face to his.
Later in the evening Michael Flynn
addressed the assembled Shamrock
club. Gentlemen" he said, with a
twinkling eye, peggy here was ask
ing me awhile ago could she change
her name
"Fatherv' Margaret's hand flew to
his lips.
"And l said," resumed Mr.. Flynn in
.aufiled tones, IL said, IF you change
1t to Grady it's all right and, gentle
men," he beamed upon them, "it is all
rightl'
The Shamrock club arose to a man
and cheered lustily-as only an Irish
man can cheer when his heart Is
stirred by sentiment.

LEGEND of St. Patrick.

st. Patrick was a holy man
And minstrel, too, of old
And bore on all his wanderings
A harp with strings of gold.
When Erin's heroes went to war
With sword and lance and shield
In early times they lacked a flag
To follow on the field.
So good st. Patrick took the leaves
Upon the willow tree
And stitched the emerald strips to make
A banner broad and free.
But ere his task was done he heard
The trumpet's wild refrain
And nailed 1t to his golden harp
And Joined the march again.
The banner Of the willow leaves
Grew dry and fell to dust;
The strings that rang to battle songs
Were soon devoured by rust.
But still on Erin's ancient flag
The willows tint is seen,
And still the legendary harp
Adoras its folds of green.

asked as Bill Wilcox came up, his

face white and stern.
But before the sheriff could answer
Huerfano Jack spoke in a ~singularly
clear and ~farreaching voice: Because
I am a thief and murderer. But, mis-
cradle dog that 1 am, you, lady, have

His glazing eyes sought the lovely
face filed with divine pity bending
over him. Perhaps she read the petit
ton in those dying eyes.
She unfastened the lilies in her gown
and gently laid them over his bleeding
breast.
The voices of the children rang out
from their final Easter rehearsal in
the saloon:
He's the Lily of the Valley.

the eyes of true Americans.
Because / am an Americana"
breathed Margaret an hour later as
she sat in her own room with a hud-
die of green satin ribbon in her lap
and a basket of green favors beside
her.
She heard the tramp of feet as the
men went into the dining room, and
she almost felt the little shock of sur
prise with which they greeted the

table arrayed In a glory of red, white
and blue ribbons, tiny American flags
and miniature figures of Uncle Sam
and the Goddess of Liberty, all salvage
from her recent Washington's birth
day party.
There was a buzz of conversation,
and she knew that there was a hurt
look in her fathers eyes-that father
who had worked so hard, who denied
her nothing and who SO enjoyed his
annual celebration of st. Patrick's day.
And there was Larry Grady-oh, hor-
rible name! OF course he would guess
that she had been the one to change
the decorations, and she could fancy
the scorn on his handsome face.
Something that Larry had once said
returned to her with startling distinct
ness:
isn't the country big enough for all
men and all nations she will adopt?
What's in a name after all?"
Suddenly Margaret seemed to see
to her feet and rushed to her dresser.
Now, she could W cease to appre-
ciate the love of the two men whom
she cared for most in the world.
She dug out a green satin sash which
she had worn on gala days before she
attended Miss Henny's fashionable
school and been finished beyond recog-
milton of her old Irish friends.
Joke and song and merry quip were
flying about the round table under thu
stars and stripes when Margaret opened
the door and entered the room.

"And you've to- ne boy?"
She nodded

She nodded.
Michael took a swift turn up and
down the room and came to q stand
still before his daughter. With hands
deep in his pockets and heavy jaw
thrust hi he looked at her out of
sharp gray eyes from which all humor
had fed.
Just because his name Is Grady.
Go away, Peggy. Sometimes after I've
been talking s~eriouslike with a wo-
man-I-want to be alone for awhile"
Margaret WINGED, but with head
flung high she left the In the
hall she paused at the dining room
door and pushed it open.
The handsome chandelier had been
equipped with delicate green globes,
and from its center wide green satin
ribbons were looped and fastened to
the cloth of the great circular table.
On the board silver and cut glass
shone and sparkled about a magnih-
cent pot of s~hamrocks, while at every
were favors appropriate to the
day.
Margaret eyed the table and its dec
orations with infinite scorn. How she
detested the annual dinner of the
Shamrock club, of which her father
was the president!
Now d clock in the hall chimed 6
