Reclamation. Not Revenge

Tom Tynan. warden of the Colorado pententiary, does not believe in punish ment for revenge He is quoted as fol- flows in an article in Success Magazine:
 We've got to get away from the old get even idea. Imprisonment isn't so- ciety's revenge upon the offending in dividual, but society's effort to correct and reclaim. The penitentiary that re- leases unbettered and unstrengthened men Is not only a millstone about the taxpayers neck, but a menace to the society that it is supposed to protect
 Instead of sending broken, revengefu
 men back into the world. in no wise reformed, but simply resolved to great CT cunning, we must send back mended men. eager and willing to be of use. Recamation--not further damnation.
 "The penjtentiary should be the last resort. Many man is doing time when justice would have been better served had he been paroed from the bench

A Lap Robe for a Coat

From the National Magazine.
 Jim Sanders is the gateman at the Union depot in Washington. Jim has broken up more incipient riots with his wink and smile than could an army of Cossack with knouts.
 ''One night" he said, "a funny thing happened One of my boys that I have known ever since his first Christmas visit to department store Santa Claus, came tearing down the steps. taking every third one. He wasn't full mind you. But he had had a bit of supper and drink or two and was just in that stage where he kept his hat tilted back to preserve his balance.
 Hello Jim,' he says
 Same to you I goes back at him. He had his oyercoat thrown over his arm, as the night was warm.
 Well, sir, he hadn't more than passed me than down the steps comes taXicab driver four steps at a time, stops and stares around
 Somebody bilk ye? I asks friendly like
 "'Nothin like that. Wisht he owed me a million,' he says. Maybe he would if he didn't watch the meter l goes back.
 Too busy fer lxiddin'. he says. Did ye see a Willy with somethin' over his arm fit by? he says.
 "A friend of mine just went past car ryin' his overcoat' I tells him.
 "'Overcoat nothin. He's got me lap robe. Here's his top sheet he says.
 And sure enough, the lad in his hurry had swapped wraps in the petroleum perambulator and never knowed 1t. Oh. yes, they traded back; but, gosh! I'd like to ha' seen the kid lookin' for the armholes when he tried to put on that laprobe."

EXUM AROUSES
 THE WRATH OF BULL DOG BEN
By c. H. MANDY

1 fore leg, he caught the eye of Horace, whose assinine countenance was as placid as Lake Como on a calm summer evening. His righteous anger gave way to pity and with a look of mingled disgust and contempt he said: Prom all such, Good Lord, deliver us,' and slowly trotted to- | ward the house.
 About half way he stopped, his tail and ears erect With a short, sharp bark he sprang several feet in the air and came down shaking his head as | though he had some one by the throat, and was heard to mutter, You would | put a muzzle on me, would you?"
 "Whats the matter with Ben?'' asked the stable cat, who had discreetly stayed in the background until Ben had gone away.
 "Oh, he is having an imaginary catch as-eatch-can, no-hold-barred fight to a finish scrap with Expepper Culcum,' re- piled Horace. q heard Ben's somewhat pointed remarks" said Tabby. in refer ence to the muzzing of dogs. which 1 needlessly say I favor very much, but sup pose you were a member of the commis- sion. and the question was propound- ed to you, how would you vote?''
 'I would vote neigh promptly replied Sir Horace.
 With a screech that went to high c the cat disappeared, and has never come back
 Horace looked carefully around and saw that Ben and the cat both disappeared. Then slowly his mobile features wrinkled up and he-yes he did-gave a genuine horse laugh.

The Baconians

Some people collect birds eggs. post age stamps. first editions, or prehistoric history pottery: others play golf, raise panses, or go to baseball games. But there are folks who spend all their leisure time believing that Bacon wrote the works of Shakespeare. The con- firmed Baconan knows very well that the immortal William was low fel- low, with more of taste for poaching than for literature. and that it Is ex- tremely doubtful whether he could read
 or write. One of the most inveterate of Baconans Is Dr. Orville w. Owen, of Detroit. It will be remembered that Dr.

Private Steele's Big Boquet

From "The Making of a. Regiment" by
 Brig.-Gen. Frederick Funston, in the
 June Scribner.
 The hospitable ladies of San Francisco were continually sending out to the va rious camps contributions of cakes, pies and other articles of food not included in the ration. This was very commend able on their part, but I would have done almost anything to be able to put a stop to their benefactions without mor- tally offending them as one of the es- sential things connected with the train ing of troops is to get them used to the army ration and have them satisfied with it. This ration is, and was then, ample and nutritious, but men were not going to eat It If all of their storage ca pacity was taken up with sponge cake. One officer tried to remedy the matter so far as his own company was con cerned by himself eating it's quota, but gave up when there seemed no end to the supplies of this nature. Flowers were often sent to us, and these did not harm except on one occasion. l was go- ing the rounds of the camp to see if the sentries were on the alert, when to my horror I espied one of them, Private John M. Steele, calmly walking his post with his blouse decorated by boquet that would not have shamed debutante at her coming out ball. At the same time I saw General King coming from the opposite direction, and at such a distance that we would certainly meet opposite the flower-decked sentry. Reg ulating my voice so that the sentry would hear me and the general would not, I called out frantically, "Steele' take that damned thing off. Take it off, say" repeating this command with appropriate trimmings several times. The rattled Steele jumped about, apparently uncertain whether I wanted him to take off his blouse or his trousers, and final ly wound up by coming to present arms to General King and myself all ternately. The general passed on with look more of sorrow than of anger, and In a few moments the floral decora- tions were scattered on the sidewalk.

duced the alleged original Bacon story
 now existing in mutilated form in the
 works of Shakespeare and other inn posters.
 Now Dr. Owen is in England digging
 in the. River Wye for a vault which
 was constructed there by Francis Bacon
 and which, Owens private information states, contains the mysterious manu-
 scripts and the head of Shakespeare,
 who was killed by Bacon and buried there. The eyes of the Baconians of two continents are upon Owen in his damp and muddy undertaking. Some regret is expressed by Baconians that the discov- cry could not have been made in time to spoil the celebration at Stratford-cn- Avon of the three hundred and forty fifth anniversary of the birth of the eminent poacher It is high time, they think, that the myth that Shakespeare wrote his own works should be forever dispelled. sN s's--

That's a dog-goned good story said the horse at the conclusion. Ben wineed,
 but with an air of martyred resignation merely said, ''The best feature of the story is-its true"
 After a few minutes of thoughtful pom doring Ben said, "I cannot see for the life of me how man whose love for chill dren Is proverbial, can be so unmind- full as to impose so harsh a measure on ali of us. hove the order will be modified as to excuse all canines of good repu- tation and character from wearing the badge of degradation.
