What the Books Cost Him.

When Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll
was living in Peoria he was called
upon one day by General John A. Lo-
gan. The colonel was upstairs AT the
time, and General Logan was ushered
into the library. where on a table were
three volumes of Noltaire'S works, an
edition de luxe representing all that
was best in the bookbinders aEt. Gen
eral Logan picked them up one at a
time. absorbed in his admiration of
their beauties. While so engaged
Colonel Ingersoll entered the room.

one of the volumes in his hands. this
is the most magnificent volume have

me what these books cost yOu?'

PRISON LIFE is A LUXURY
ConVicts Have q Delightful Time in
the Comic Opera JaiIs of
Switzerland.

Prison life in Switzerland is a lux.
ury instead of punishment. The
| comic opera jail at Thorburg, where
the inmates did as they pleased, has
! only recently been suppressed by the
Berne authorities yet details are pub
lished of similar institution at Sar-
men. in the canton of Oswald.
Sarnen is apparently an ideal penal
resort, for the happy criminals who
are sentenced to terms of detention"
in that institution have a far better
time than hundreds of free" Swiss
citizens who are forced to earn their
bread
A correspondent of a Lausanne pa.
per states that he was passing
through Sarnen when he saw a mum,
Der of men, dressed in dark blue
clothes with white stripes. walking
about the village, smoking and joking.
Others were seated in a cafe, and
some were working in a Ieisurely man
uer, carrying bricks for the construc-
ton of a new building. To his as
constituent the correspondent found
that the men were convicts from the
cantonal prison close by.
These convicts are permitted to
leave the prison early in the morning
and find work around Sarnen, or walk
about the country until nightfall, when
they return of their own accord to
the prison.
They are unaccompanied by ward
ers, and there is nothing to prevent
their escaping, but they are far too
comfortable to think of reIinquishing
their quarters. for they have as much
liberty as other men, and are, more
over fed and lodged for nothing.
The money earned by these con
victs who choose to work can be spent !
as they like. One convict. who is en- |
plOyed as a gardener by a local mag |
istrate, sends his monthly salary to |
his wife and children.
Two or three conyicts escaped /
some weeks ago, but they eventually |
to the prison in a half-fam-
shed condition, and after being Sc
serely reprimanded. they were al !
owed to return to their apartments.

Idaho and the Union Pacific rail-
road have had two things to be crate
full for" said Gerrit Fort, passenger
traffic manager of the Union Pacific
railroad recently while on a trip over
his lines in Idaho. "One is that there

people in the state and the other is
that all these people are to have a

and make an early dash the next
morning for the summit. Then they
are enabled to return to the shelter the
same day.
The Randall party reached the top,
as was recorded in Dr. Beams diary,
but on the return trip they were over
taken by a terrific storm. The party
was seen from Chamonix proceeding
slowly, but finally the snow became so
thick that they were hidden from
view. The top of the mount was not
visible again for eight days Five of
the party-Dr. Bean and the Rev. Mr..

result of his experiments to the Amer,

In his experiments with the thyroid
gland DR.. Hunt had observed remark

four mice for four months and found
that fecundity or sterility depended
on the activity or idleness of the gland.

has any message to the public to

a station along the Union Pacific lines
