Vetoes convicts' Aid Enactment.

Gov. Osborn vetoed the Jerome bill.
which provided that the state pay 10
the wives and families of convicts
confined in the various penal institu-
tons of the state sum OF money
necessary for their care and mainten-
ance. such moneys TO be paid out
under the direction OF the state board
of corrections and charities. Under
the provisions OF the bill, $4,000 a
year for the work was appropriated
In vetoing the bill the governor
said the condition of the state treas
ury does not warrant the inaugur-
alton of the expenditure required at
the present time. He says. however,
that the general object OF the bill
is worthy one. He states further
that it would probably be better TO
have such convicts' earnings as may
be wisely diverted to the use of their
families sent directly as possible frNn
the convict to his family.

My health began TO improve imme-

Balzac dreamed OF Eugene Grandet
. and Ursule Mirouet in the mean
house OF mean aspect where Doctor
Cabanes lectures. He used to shut
the window shutters TO exclude ex-
ternal sounds and objects, drink
kcoffee from the tin pot and coarse
delft cup yonder and give himself
over to his imagination. From sun
down to sunrise no sound could be
heard save the scratching of pen on
paper. He more frequently than not
worked thus for eighteen out of the
twenty-four hours. This painter of
women knew very little about them,
but his gift of divination and his de-
ductive power served him in good
stead. No other author ever scrutin-
tied their hearts as did this hermit
or brought to light with the same
truthfulness the treasures OF delicate
wealth, OF unselfish devotion and of
delicate sentiment wrapped up in
them-Paris Letter to London

TAUGHT SONNY" A LESSON
Student Method Of Discipline That
Doubtless Had an Excellent
Effect.

At military academy not far from
New York hazing is practically pro-
hibited. but the boys have their own
methods of disciplining one another
OF occasions, and sometimes, IL the
awful facts have become known TO
the authorities. those superior beings
have been known TO coyer the trans
actions with the charity of wink. de-
pending on the nature OF the activi-
ties. Last fall one of the new boys
who arrived did not make himself ex-
tremely popular, but as he was more
foppish than aggressive his career did
not seem 10 call for any special dis
ciplinary attentions from his school
mates. He passed his first few months
in the school in comparative peace.
One day however, his mother came TO
visit him, as parents are free 10 do at
that institution. The railway station
is mile from the school. and as the
walk is attractive visitors usually
take il instead OF driving TO the acad-
envy. The new student and his mother
were no exception. They walked; but
brought with her suitcase. and he
let her carry IL from the station TO the
school. During her visit no attention
was paid TO this frightful violation OF
a gentlemans code, but as soon as she
had departed justice began TO be meted
out to the young man. All the stu
dents who had been in the institution
longer than he had were free TO hand
out some of this discipline to him, and
1T took a form OF compelling him to
carry their suitcases. Whenever
senior or junior, or even pale and
callow sophomore, went to the station.
Sonny was ordered out TO carry the
suitcase. The alternative was duck
ing In the lake. in full regimentals,
and as Sonny cared more about his
clothes than most youths do he shrank
from accepting II. There was no other
escape, and there was no reprieve.
Every. man" in the institution had
Sonny carry a suitcase for him at one
time or another.
For time no man went from one
building TO another unless he was &C
companied by Sonny patiently Juggling
a suitcase. At last accounts the dis
cipline was nearing its close. and 1t is
believed by even the authorities of the
institution that when Sonny is re-
turned to his mother for his next vaca-
ton that lady will note an improve
ment in the attentions which he will
tender her.
