Army Convicts Building Model Prison

FORT LEAVENWORTH, KAN
- Work on what is intended to be
the largest and finest military prison
in the world-an institution which the
war department plans to make a
model for all future penal establish
ments-has been begun here, to re-
place the prison built in 1877. The
cost Of the new prison is estimated at
only $643, 900, but the completed
structure will be the equal of $3,0O0,-
600 buildings erected by contract
This saving of more than $4,000, 900

by conVicts, the material manufac-

The entire york, it is expected, will
be completed by January 1, 1914. BY
the end Of next year, however, a large
part Of the new prison will be occu-

When the new prison is completed
it will have accommodations for 2,182
conVicts, and each will have a large
cell to himself, fitted with every mod

to be built on the radial plan, each
tier of cells radiating from a central

Servant in One Family for Fifty Years

HHICAGO.-Fifty years in the en-
~ ploy of one woman, whom she has
served with rare intelligence, eager
ness and devoted loyalty, is the won
derful record established by Miss
Barbara Ritter, who has worked the
half century for Mrs. Samuel Faux
ner, 4746 Madison avenue.
While thousands of women in Chi
cago have changed servants at the
rate Of ten a year, Mrs. Faulkner not
only has retained the invaluable as
sistance OF her helper, but has won
her stanch fealty for herself and her
family. Miss Ritter, known as Bar
bic" to the hundreds of friends OF
the Faulkner family and as famous
among them for her personality as
for her ginger cookies, has been Mrs.
Faulkner's first lieutenant in the rails
ing Of the Faulkner family Of eight
children
Miss Ritter entered Mrs. Faulkner's
service fifty years ago as nurse
maid for the one little Faulkner of
that time. She was tireless, she
liked work, she looked for work and
she accomplished work faster than
two other ordinary maids could have
done it And all the time she was
happy in its accomplishment
Miss Anne Faulkner, speaking for
her mother, gives all the credit for
the loyalty and length of service to
''Barbie." But "Barbie," who looks

Sun Victim Spends Summers in Cave

came to Kansas City, Kan, about
fifteen years ago and one of the first
improvements he made at his home
place was a summer cave The cave
resembles cyclone cellar. It is a
large excavation in the yard at the
rear of his home. Grass has grown
over the cave for many years and
one must look closely to discover it.
The entrance to the cave is a door
ike that on an outside cellar and
steps lead to the interior of the cave
at one end. The temperature in the
cave never gets above 60 or So and
day after day, when everyone around
him is suffering with the heat, James
reposes on cot, reads his Bible, to
which he devotes most of the time, or
paints pictures.
Mrs. James and children live in
the house. Mrs. James prepares the
meals and the children carry them to
their father, and on hot afternoons the
entire family gathers in the cave to
escape the heat, and Heighbors also
drop In often.
On cool nights James leaves the
cave and walks about the neighbor-
hood or visits his own home, but the
approach of sunrise is the signal for
him to hasten to the retreat. During
the winter James works as laborer,

Then Keith understood, his heart

that was their game, was it?-some
act of his had awakened the cowardly
suspicious of those watching him
across the river. They were afraid
that he knew them as white men.
And they had found a way to safely
muzzle him. They must have ridden
hard over those sand dunes to have
reached Carson City and sworn out
this warrant. 1t was a good trick,
likely enough to hang him, if the fell

somehow he could not clearly compre-

NO Dust, Mo Liqht.

Diffusion of light through the atmos-

appear black, and the moon and stars

"A young curate good fellow, but
very shy and bashful, came into

shire yeomen who bred horses and
rode them and sometimes had steeple-
chases. He did not get on and was
very much depressed.

Very WE'LL said the curate, and
at every service in which the pray
er for all sorts and conditions Of men
was offered the church was asked to
pray for Lucy Gray, till one morn
ing the clerk rushed into the vestry
and said:
You needn't pray for Lucy Gray
any more; she's won the steeple-
chase

clares that she mas known any num-
Der of families where she would not
have stayed 30 minutes. And so the
credit seems to be equally divided be-
tween Mrs. Faulkner and her devoted
companion.
For several years the Faulkners
have been trying to retire "Barbie"
from active work. But she retains
the same energy that has always domi-
mated her work and she refuses to be
retired The Faulkners are going to
celebrate "Barbie's" fiftieth anniver-
sary Of her coming to them, although
she herself declares she cannot see
why the event should be celebrated,
since it was so natural that she
should stay.
But some hundreds of society wom-
en- and prominent professional and
business men in Chicago, whose child
hood recollections are indissolubly
connected with memories of the Faux
ners' "Barbie," will aid the family in
giving tribute to Miss Ritter's affec-
ton and loyalty.

WICKERSHAM
ON COAL LAW
Rather Hints That Alaska
Entries Are Valid.

Attorney General Wickersham
discussed the Alaska coal land
bills before the senate committee
on public lands. He declared the
bill would tie up all lands so as
to make development impossible.
Particular attention was de-
voted by Mr.. Wickersham to the
Cunningham claims, which figur-
ed so conspicuously in the Ball
inger-Pinchot controversy.
He took the position that if the
courts decided the Cunningham
claimants were entitled to the
coal claims filed upon by them
and decided likewise in the case
of about 200 other claims, the
lands involved should be released
to the claimants.
In such an event, said the at
torney general, there would be
no need for the passage of such
a bill. The subject will be
further consideration at another
hearing in the near future.
