seySG. Wren, of Kentucky, almost
wept when he was told at the local
United States army recruiting sta
ton yesterday that he was "too big"
to join the army. When Wren en-
tered the office he had to stoop to
get through the door, and Capt. o.
H. tDockery, Jr., looked up at the 6
feets9 inches of what proved, ON in
spection. to be perfect physical man

Is just one foot shorter.
Wren, reared on Kentucky
farm, Is % years old, and weighs
220 pounds. He is hard as nails
and had set his heart on joining the
regular army. Capt. Dockery wired
to Washington for special permis-
sion to enlist him, but was refused.
Then he asked that he might be per-
mitted to sign the giant for the
mountain batteries, the men of which
have to lift cannon to and from

ABE RUFF TURNED REEoRMER.
Noted California CRATER Heads
Movement for Prison Reform,
(Augusta Chronicle }

That mind rises above environ
ment was never better illustrated
than In the case of Abe Ruef, the
San Francisco arch-grafter, who is
now serving a term in the California
State prison.
Shut off from evil acts, Ruef has
turned to good ones for solace dur
ing his days Of confinement He
has submitted plan of prison re-
form to the State board having the
subject in charge, and his proposals,
while not entirely original, have
been pronounced sound. His plan is
that of the relief association which
would afford prisoners an opportu-
nifty Of providing for the day when
they will re-enter society. In advo-
eating the scheme, he says:
notwithstanding mistaken popu-
lar impression to the contrary, | be-
lieve, from thorough, though rapid,
survey of the situation, that at least
SO per cent Of the inmates of this
institution are not criminals at heart
or by nature, that they are capable
of restoration to good citizenship
and Of entire rehabilitation; that Of
the remaining SO per cent over half
would, under proper guidance and
support, with proper government,
and under proper control, be capable
of being made into good citizens and
useful members Of society. And,
strange as it may seem, would not
despair Of even greatly reducing the
| category Of the irreclaimable in the
remaining 25 per cent. Though
many of the latter were guilty of ter
rible crimes, have found nearly all
of them responsive to kindly inter-
est and to the encouragement of
words OF hope.
Nov, If the discharged prisoner
can be placed in position where he
| Will feel that, as matter of right,
| he may accept such aid until he can
find employment or is put on his
feet that his association with those
that help Is not the relation of aims
giVer and mendicant, not only will
he have assistance until he can help
himself, but he will have hope, in
spiration, and encouragement instead
Of despair, depression, and despond-
ency; and If that sentiment and
those feelings can be brought into
play before he leaves the prison
walls, and If also before his term ex-
pires his family and friends can be
made to interest themselves system
atically In his future, success would
be assured In almost every case"
No philanthropist could state the
case better. None could show a
finer discernment Of the criminologi-
cal niceties, or a broader under
standing of the underlying principles
of crime and reformation.
Every muckraker that has investi-
gated Ruef pronounced him a man
of unusual mind. Their conclusions
| indicated that his great ruling, or de-
throning, passion was his desire Cor
money.
| Prison walls cannot hamper an
extraordinary mentality, though it

several days, and accompanying him to
the train We're his young son. Master
Joe Barrett, and his negro driver.
Following Mr.. Barrett's departure. the
negro purchased loaf of bread, placing
it under the seat of the buggy. As he
and the little boy were driving out Thorn
ton avenue they were startled at hear
ing a hens cackle coming from beneath
them. They stopped the buggy, and on
looking under the seat frightened one
of Mrs. Barrett's hens. which had ac-
companied them, and whose presence was
unknown to them. The hen, on seeing
them. flew out of the buggy. but was
chased down and caught by shepherd
dog belonging to Mr.. Barrett
An Investigation brought TO light the
fact that there was a fresh egg deposit
ed in the bottom of the buggy over which
the hen had been cackling, and it was
also discovered that the hen had made
her breakfast on q goodly portion OF the
loaf Of bread
Both the hen and egg were taken to
