and self satisfied citizens received
the jolt Of their lives the other
night when the Twentieth Cen

secured a lecture by Prof. August
Ahrens on civic art and civic
pride

the city with rancra. anl made
numerous lantern slides. Ills lee
iure was singing rchuke to the
careless and haphazard conditions
that are allowed to exist in that
city. And he hit close to home
when he declared, cit costs 30
more to trim trees artisticalIy
than it does to destroy their
beauty"
Again he forcibly said. 1T costs
no more to build cinder walks
than it does to make a public ash
heap of Market street between
Miller and Holden.
Prof. Ahrens said IA city cann,t
be considered beautiful until the
whole is harmonized. Three or
four paved streets and II few noble
buildings will not make beauii-
full city; they simply emphasi.,
the defects Of the balance Of the
town.
Prof. Ahrens threw Il number Of
pictures on a screen showing civic
conditions in other towns Many
OF the pictures showed conditions
before and after improvements
and cleanups, After showing
this series Of pictures the lecturer
began to show a series of photo
graphs of Warrensburg scenes
which were so ridiculously ugly,

well advertised both by Mr.. Clark
and by Luke Emerson. the Mis-

stances that led to the novel bar
gain between Mr.. Clark and Mr..
Emerson are not so well known.
Although Emerson is Rcpmh-
liean, he is an admirer of the
speaker-to-be, and his promise to.
give him a pair Of his hest mules
for the purpose indicated when he
should take up the gavel in the
House is of some years standing.

These notorious acts OF gallantry were
not the only scandals that gathered about
Leopold's old age. His amazing capacity
for spending money had entangled him in
more than one ugly affair. From the Bel
gian people he derived al income OF $780,
600 a year, He inherited a fortune OF at
least 100000 from his father, yet he is
accused Of having virtually embezEled and
dissipated the dowry OF his wife and the
fortune of his sister. the unhappy Carlotta,
widow OF Macmillan, once mperor OF Mex
leo, who has been under restraint as in

out. Convicts with hearts and loves and
fine impulses are by no means rare. James
G.. Pogue was OF this class. He was a
convict in the Kansas state penitentary
at Lansing. where he was sent for grand
larceny. 1t appears that his only sister
had mortgaged her home to provide funds
for his defense. But nevertheless he was
sent to prison. His conduct as a convict
was so good that he was made a trusty,
an office that is something Of a sinecure
and Is the only thing that makes prison
life endurable to some men. But he never
forgot the sacrifice made for him by his
sister, and when the mortgage became
due he knew that the little property must
be sacrificed.
James Poguel wasn't a hero. He was a
convict with years Of imprisonment before
him. AS a trusty he could almost enjoy
these years. II he sacrificed the conf
dence OF the warden he knew that the
future would be black and terrible. But
there was his sisters home that was in
danger because Of his wrongdoing. After
weighing all the elements of the problem
James Pogue decided TO make a supreme
effort. He escaped from the prison and
went to work. Wandering over the country,
he did whatever his hands found to do.

1t would be tiresome to enumerate one

Countless pages Of romance have been
written Of convict heroes who redeemed
themselves in their moral aspect by vicar
ious suffering and s~ecrifice to aid those who
had befriended them. Benign philosophers
have preached the doctrine that there is
some residual good in every man, no mat
ter how deep in sin he may have fallen.
An English bishop took the word Of a
confessed thief as against the word OF a
minister of state because OF faith in ulti-
mate human goodness and he was justified.
1t is possible, and indeed in some phases
OF the matter customary, to become a
lin in sympathy for criminals. This, OF
course. Is merely an excess Of sentiment
