The Bishop and the Boy.

The late Bishop Williams of Con-

and it was always JOY to us young
sters when he came for his visit to my
fathers parish. His anecdotes and
stories enlivened the whole household.
Once when he was staying with us he
told the following story:
"One Sunday morning, just after
breakfast, repaired to the rector's
study, where l was soon followed by
his little four-year-old son, who climb
ed up on my knee and began to talk.
Suddenly the little fellow looked up

slid down and started to get the book.
When halfway across the room sud-

running back and putting one hand on
my knee, he looked up in my face and
shook his little forefinger at me, whis-
pering: 'Bissop, it's Sunday. We must

the buyers found that there are large

The Hoosier farmers tell him that

in the meantime has notified the po-

Prison Warden's Novel Experiments

lands owned by the state around the
prison have never been used to any
great extent for farming.
Warden Codding began work two
years ago, and the first thing he did
was to give the prisoners half an
hours liberty each day in the prison
yard. The men can do anything they
wish during that half hour They can
talk to each other and and the guard,
play ball. pitch horse shoes. play cro-
quet or dozen other games.
The prisoners had been morose and
sullen, and there were % insane
prisoners in the hospital and a half
dozen tuberculosis patients. The plan
was adopted to see II the insanity and
tuberculosis could not be stopped. Not
a new patient has developed In IA
months. and there is not a single pris-
oner in the tuberculosis hospital at
this time.
"The farm does two things of great
Importance" says Warden Codding.
"The first is that 1t gives the men
new aspect Of life as they are about
to leave the prison. The farm work
and half hour recreation period have
reduced the ordinary prison vices 70
per cent. The plan Of working the
men on the farm has not been going
long enough to make any figures, but

for second terms now than under the
