NOT ONE PRINTER IN
STATE PRISON

OF all the ancient and honor
able trades and professions
whose votaries are represented
in the State Penitentiary, that
of the printer is missing. An
inquiry set in motion by Gov
ernor Mann reveals this fact.
There are preachers and doctors
and lawyers and cashiers and
blacksmiths and bricklayers
and factory girls aud boys, but
not a single printer.
The Governor asked about il.
Superintendent James b. Wood
expressed his regrets at not be-
ing in position TO accommodate
the inquirer, but among all the
1000 boarders mt his institution
there was not one who would
own up to being q graduate in
art of printing.
A publisher of q country
newspaper in Virginia made
the rather unusual request for
information regarding any
printers who might be incarce-
rated. He needed one in his
town, where labor of this sort
is perhaps difficult to procure.
SO with a desire perhaps to re-
form some one, he asked for
data. If he found a worthy
case where the term had half
expired, it was his intention to
bring the matter to the atten-
ton of tho directors with ayiew
to securing parole of employ
ment.- Time Dispatch.

HOW TO KEEP COOL.

The sultry days of July make
it advisable for those who can
to seek some shady spot and
while away the lime by read
ing that diverts the mind. 1t
would be difficult to find more
refreshing articles, with illus
trasions in colors, etc, than the
great galaxy of stories which
are featured in the Magazine
Section of next Sundays New

stories of mystery, love, science,
art, society, etc, and the words
