PRISON DISCIPLINE
Texas Reforms Treatment of
Prisoners.
tNational News Association

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Sept. 81
Two years ago an effort was made to
reform the prison system of this state
and do away with alleged brutal treat
ment of prisoners. The entire state
became much concerned about reports
from penal institutions and investisa-
ton followed which resulted in more
humane methods of punishment The
report OF State Prison Commissioner
Ben E. Cabell shows very marked
improvement in the method of punish
ment and the discipline of the prison
ers. The report indicates a decrease
of about 400 per cent in the punish
ment of state convicts by the use of
the dreaded strap. During last year
SCI prisoners were ordered punished
by the strap: this year the total was
only 123. The report also shows that
from January to August 81 Governor
Colquitt has pardoned 2o3 state con-
viccts. In the matter of punishment,
the commission is advocating the
dark cell instead of the inhuman meth
DDS of punishment which have been
in vogue SO long in this state and
which were so bitterly condemned by
the people when the facts became pub
lie. At the end of August, there was
total of 3,477 convicts serving SEN
tence under the direction of the prison
commission, quite decrease from the
report of last year

Newell Dwight Hills, the now ia,

some years ago took charge OF the
First Presbyterian church of Evans
ton. Ill. Shortly after going there he
required the services of a physician
and on the advice of one Of his parish
toner's called in doctor noted for his
ability properly to emphasize a good
story, but who attended church very
rarely. He proved very satisfactory
to the young preacher. but for some
reason could not be induced to render
a bill. Finally DR.. Hills. becoming
alarmed at the inroads the bill might
make IN his modest stipend. went to
the physician and said. "See here, doc
tor. must know how much l owe
you" 81
After some urging the physician re-
piled: "WeIl. I'll tell you what I'll do
with you. Hills. They say you're
pretty good preacher, and you seem to
think l am Il fair doctor, so I'll make

Tho cIevsrness Of Wiaains.

Outside his own cleverness there is
nothing that so delights Mr.. Virgins
as game of baseball, and when he
gets a chance to exploit the two, both
at the same time, he may be said to
be the happiest man in the world.
Hence it was that the other day, when
little red headed Willie Mulligan, his
Office boy. came smiling into his pres
ence to ask for the afternoon off that
he might attend his grandmother's
funeral, Virgins deemed it a mastery
stroke to answer:
"Why. certainly. Willie. What's
more. my boy, If you'll wait for me
I'll so with you"
"All right, sir" shifted Willie as he
returned to his desk and waited pa
tiently.
And, 10 and behold, poor little Willie
had told the truth. and when he and
Virgins started out together the lat

Of the season, but had to attend the
obsequies of an old lady in whom he
had no interest whatever as well.--

Moroccan Corruntion-

Two main evils in Morocco are the
corruption o. Moorish officials and the
degradation OF Moorish women. The
Moorish officials are inadequatety paid
and are liable at any moment to be
strirred and cast into prison at the
caprice OF their overload. The natural
result is that they make hay while the
sun shines, and by their "pickings"
provide against the evil days which
are almost certain to be in store for
them. Says a writer: Before they
take Office they may be honest and
kindly men, but the knowledge that
they may at any moment fall victims
