that? A ring, a step, a masculine
voice, She waited not, but threw
herself into the visitors arms,

her head upon his bosom. Il am so
glad you have called. / did so long

Convicted Boss Has Plan For Self Help
of Con~icts.
Abe Ruef. the former political boss
Of San Francisco. has written from
San Quentin prison a remarkable let
ter to the state board Of prison direc-
tors, In which he urges a Plan orig
mated by himself for q self help or
ganization among the eonvicts.
1t Is an appeal for converting the
despair and despondancy with which
Ruef says the discharged convict now
faces the battle of life into encour-
agement and hope that he may again
become a respected member of socie-
ty.
The plan, which Ruef says has new
er been tried in any state, includes
voluntary organization among the
prisoners, whose objects shall be to
aid discharged prisoners to tide over
unemployment by providing good
lodging, suitable clothing and employ
ment and also within the prison to
aid in preparing men TO qualify for
work outside by special attention and
instruction.
Each prisoner shall be encouraged
to give the names Of three or four
persons on the outside who are inter-
ested in his welfare and who may be-
come contributors to an outside afil-
lated society. The plan Also includes
instruction OF conwicts and official
headquarters in San Francisco. Los
Angeles and other cities, where re-
leased convicts mag go with assur-
ance that they Will be helped in the
search for work
Ruef says there are 5000 convicts
In San Quentin and another 5000 in
tailS throughout the state, or one
criminal to every 800 people IN Cali
fornia, so he argues that his scheme
of help will appeal to large number
Of relatives and friends Of convfcts.

Ohio Town Hasn't Had an Arrest In
Two Years.
Ohio possesses the center Of virtue.
It is none other than the village of De-
graf, In the center of a strictly "dry"
region, which boasts of 1900 inhabit-
ants and the fact that there has not
been an arrest within its borders in
the last two years.
The peace and good order have been
contagious, and the stranger within
the gates has also conducted himself
decorousiy.
Owing to the unparalleled goodness
Of the inhabitants the Jobs of the may
or and the marshal are In Jeopardy.
The citizens OF DegraR are not only
virtuous, but they are Saving and see
no reason why they should pay a mar
shall and mayor who have not sat IN
judgment Of criminal IN two years.
The mayor and the marshal have
made common cause and declare that
1t Is their show Of authority which
keeps the citizens in the paths Of rec
titude.
The picture OF q carnival Of crime
drawn by the two officials Is having its
effect, aid they may be retained In
Office for the arrests which they have
not made.
