Preston Grace and Other Columbia StudAnts Sight Seeing in
 Jeff City.

Judge IA. B. Grace of this city, re- gently received an interesting letter from his son, Preston Grace, who is attending the Columbia University at Columbia, Mo. Young Grace is a graduate of the Pine Bluff High School and made a fine record there. He is studying law at Columbia and is making even greater strides in his work.
 The letter deals with visit the Columbia students paid to the Mis- souri State Penitentiary and their annual outing. He writes it in char acteristic style and the City Beautiful ladies of this city will enjoy scme of his references. The letter in part follows:
 '.They took me to the penitentiary yesterday, but don't waste any pater- nal sympathy because it Was only for a single day and besides that, it was only a sight seeing trip. Our entire class in tAnthrropology and Sociology in Relation to Criminal Procedure, commonly called the Grim class went out yesterday morning and came back late last night. There were about hundred in all and we had a nice trip.
 fJefferson City is "a nice little city of ten thousand, situated thirty miles from nowhere. It about as hard to reach as Columbia or as Hot Springs used to be. You probably know more about the latter.
 .sWe gpt off at North Jefferson and walked about mile across the Mis- souri river, and into the city. The Missouri river at that point reminds one of the Arkansas at Little Rock. In fact, Jefferson City is located on a rocky bluff just like our capital city. Upon arriving in the business section dirt and filth On the pavements. but when he got cut into the residence section Lo, what transition. The pavements were scarce the streets we're scrupulously clean, the yards well graded and terraced, and the shrubery and trees nicely trimmed. I wondered if they, too, didn't have an active City Beautiful Club If they have, they should interest their busi- , ness men and have them spade the trash out of their gutters.
 II noticed in the Graphic that Pine Bluff is working along that line. I only hope they are successful as the people of Jefferson City. The differ ence between a clean city and filthy city is the same as that between a , I've. well formed tree and one that is misshaped and decaying. The one impresses us with it's vigor and prcs- perity, the other with it's infirmity and destitution
 f'No Dad I'm not going to write a treatise on the clean up movement. To continue my yarn-we went to the penitentiary which is made up of many buildings, all of which are enclosed by a high wall running about four blocks each way. The prison contains about two thousand men who are let out to contractors within the walls. They manufacture shoes, brooms and cveralls. The factories are pretty lively. The most interesting parts of the prison are the sleeping quarters and the mess hall. The sleeping quar- ters are we'll lighted and airy. Tw, men occupy each cell, sleeping in hunks, one above the other. All the cells were clean and some were pret- ty. One young fellow had his 'boudoir,' as he laughingly called it, decorated with pennants and Harri- son-Fisher pictures. He was there because of his splendid penmanship. I met another nice fellow named Moore. GIe was travelling man with the Hudnut Perfumery Company and used to Fmeke' Pine Bluff. Moore said he was there on iaccount of some
