winked by seemingly repentant ex-
convicts, and we must be prepared
to meet such treatment with patience
and fortitude, and when temptations
are held out to test our strength and
determination, we must exercise our
will power to the utmost to resist
the bait. If we do not we have
played loosing game and skeptics
will shout in triumph.
The sands of time run rapidly out
and before we are aware of the fact,
old age has set its ineffaceable mark
upon us; gray is sprinkled among
our locks, our eyes are shrunken
and our features furrowed. In the
eve of life when the shadow of
death falls across our path, we pause
to look back upon our past so full
of lost opportunities, gone and lost
forever, dotted here and there by
broken resolutions, and we find
nothing but leaves" Created as
we have been with superior intel
lect and wisdom to be tossed hither
and thither on the wind as faded
leaves, futtering without aim or OBJ
ject, until swept into the gutter or
trampled under foot, when it was
once in our power to rise to the dis
tinction of the noblest' of Gods Gre
ted, crowned with Immortality and
glory. How sad an ending!

possessed unlimited wealth it could
not in itself bring happiness nor
contentment. The balmy air we
breathe, the beautiful fields and flow
ers, the sweet songs of the birds of

as Morgan or Rockefeller. Even

John Locke, a noted Englishman
of the seventeenth century, wrote a
book that will live for ages to come.
1t is treatise on the conduct of the
human understanding" Everyone
should read it and become acquaint-
ed with the possibilities of the hu-
man mind. Locke teaches that a
man can train himself to do any,
thing; the powers of the mind are
limitless. How few, comparatively
speaking, there are who know what
the mind is and how it works; the
marvels of the subconscious mind as
when we say: 20. did that with
out thinking" The memory, the
imagination, the feelings and emo
tons, the will, habits and Judge
ments, these attributes of the mind
are what enables man to think.
By using these powers his mental
energy increases and if he SO wills
his intellect will make him the mas
ter of men.

school is boon, indeed. 1t will en-
able these men, when they have re-
turned to occupy their place in
society, to compete on more equal
terms with their fellows and SO re-
move what had constituted a mem
ace to the community in which they
lived. To the majority it means
renewed mental activity and conse-
quent growth, with increased earn
ing power, accompanied with bet
ter comprehension of what it means
to be good citizen, good son and
a good father. No man can attend
this school and faithfully study his
lessons without becoming a better
man. 1t is valued privilege that
each pupil should regard as inesti-
mable, beyond money and above
price.
Each pupil must realize that to
secure the greatest possible good
from what he is studying it is abso-
lutely necessary to devote some time
in learning the lessons in his cell.
Your teacher cannot pump know
ledge into your brain. He teaches
you-you must do the learning.
Each pupil should go over his les
sons many times; that is the only
way to learn. Remember, there is
no royal road to learning" you
must study hard and long to acquire
an education, but once obtained,
what rich blessing and comfort it
will be to you. No amount of mon
ey could buy it from you and what
wonderful aid it will be to you in
your future life. A little know
ledge is dangerous thing but use
full knowledge rightly applied is the
greatest asset that any man can have.

Many tons of paper have been
used in the controversy relating to
the authorship of what we know
as Shakespeare plays and dramas.
Many think that Frances Bacon
wrote them and that Shakespeare
stole them. Did you ever wonder
why the credit for these great plays
was given Bacon? 1t was because
the world knew he possessed the
giant intellect of his age and proved
it, while Shakespeare started in life
on more humble plane, as an ac-
tor. Locke says, use legs and
have legs;' use your mind if you
want one that will be of value to

A GREAT variety of ideas and
theories regarding the beauty, hap
piness and benefit both morally and
physically, derived from the better
life we should live when released,
have been advanced and discussed
in these columns, during the past few
months. Scarcely anything can be
added to the advices so freely and
generously offered, but it is our pur-
pose to devote this column to few
words on the subject of "Consis-
tency."
Nearly every day prisoners, hav-
ing completed their sentence, are
passing through the prison portals
to liberty and freedom, and observ-
ing this, our thoughts advance to
the time when our turn shall come
and we wonder what the uncertain
future shall have in store for us.
Shall we be one Of those, who, in
the first mad delight of liberty, for
get those good resolutions regarding
reform, and drown the first round
of the ladder of success IN glass of

direful discovery and for the future
map out and follow a far different
course than has been hitherto per-
sued. But, alas! the minute liberty
has come, many such men, as they
walk down the street with elastic
steps and delirious feeling of free
dom, must needs step into the first

NEGLECT is a simple but impress
i've word; and how often it has been
entwined in various ways through
many of our lives. When first we
saw the light of day, the one who
gave US birth did not neglect to
nurse us with all that tenderness and
care which only mothers love can
supply; and throughout the years
of our infancy it was the fondest
wish of our parents to bring us
through all it's perilous vicissitudes
with kindness and purity. When
we arrive at the proper age to re-
ceive the instructions and mora,
training requisite to carry us through
life, then it was that we ourselves
brought neglect into conspicuous
prominence. We neglected to re-
ceive the education and moral Gull
ture so freely offered us for our fnt-
ure benefit. We neglected to listen
to paternal warnings given us as to
the various pitfalls and Instructions
we should me e in journeying
through this world; and when the
time arrives for us to launch out on
life's tempestuous sea, we set all our
sails and went out triumphantly.
But alas, in consequence of our neg
lect at school, and neglect of our
parents teachings at home, our COM
passes were not adjusted to meet
the requirements of such a perilous
voyage, and the inevitable result
was an irredeemable wreck.
The dismantled ship is now in
the hands of receiver, and it will
take long life of repentance and
industry to build up that illfated
vessel to it's former self. Time can
never obliterate the shame of i'll
spent lives, but it is to be hoped we
will all embrace the many oppor-
tunities offered us in these days of
Christian progress, and endeavor to
bring our shattered wrecks into the
harbor of repentance, whose beacon
is the countenance of Him who
died for us all, and is ever ready to
receive the penitent sinner.
May our endeavor to make amends
for our past misdeeds meet with
abundant success in the future; and
when we are called to that bourne
from whence no traveller returns"
may our departure be one of tran
guilty and peaceful resignation.

The Editor has requested me to
strike a cheerful keynote from the
viewpoint of one who is now ex-
plating his sins to society. The
curtain has been rung down on the
past and the drop in the social scale
is to the very bottom. 1t is true
that people cannot be made good
citizens by act of legislature, but it
is possible for the way to be smooth
ed and the rocks removed.
Let us not dwell on what might
have been," the past is gone never
to be recalled, the future is not ours,
the present is what most concerns
us and the greatest asset possessed
by any member of the silent world
is spirit of cheerfulness.
This statement, at first thought,
may seem trite and commonplace but
recognizing the complete mastery
of the mind over the functions Of
the body. The relations of each is
so interviewer that one reacts on
the other-a peaceful and contented
mind promoting health, while vici-
Gus and depressing thoughts destroy
the strongest physique. The sud-
den drop to the very foot of the
social ladder has stunned you and
you awoke in a new world. A
period of REIMBURSEMENT both physi-
cal and mental confronts you and 1t
is up to you to adopt a wise and
sane plan of life that will not only
carry you over the shoals and reefs
of the present, but will be the foun-
dation on which will be built the
structure of honesty, integrity and
good citizenship.
The greatest aid to cheerfulness
is mental activity. Here is the gol-
den key that will unlock the doors
of solitude and loneliness. Our night
school, Chautauqua Circle and Ii
Srary are advantages within reach
of the humblest, in fact anything
that will put good new thoughts in
to your mind cannot but promote
your mental and physical we'll being

his desire or determination to do
better and avoid such places. the
person who was acquainted with his
good resolutions and later on wit
messed his going back to his old hab-
it's and vices without making an ef-
fort, cannot but set him down as
hyprocrite and fool. 1t is very
hard to draw the line of distinction
between hyprocricy and weakness
of character where it rightly be-
longs, and a wise person refrains
from so doing. But very few are
thus considerate; the majority quick
ly pass judgement and act accord
ingly.
1t is deep desire in our hearts
that society should give us a heart
Ter welcome and more freely extend
a helping hand upon our release;
but if we persist in drowning our
good resolutions in whisky and are
ready to forget and overthrow the
happiness and peace pictured to our
selves in the lonliness of our cell,
that would be ours in establishing
our furnished name and honor, by
frequenting low dives Of disreput-
able character and mingljng in the
gayities of vice and sin, we have no
right to expect anything but cold
ness, disdain and sneers from soci-
ETY.. 1t is we who must inspire
confidence, faith and good will. not
repulsion, abhorance and dislike,
but so long as we persist in incur
ing the latter feeling it behooves us
to bear the consequences uncom-
plaingly.
1t is not merely ourselves that we
lnjure by going back to our old
vices and criminal actions, but we
seriously harm all who leave prison
with the determination to reform;
to gain an honorable name, regain
their lost home, friends, esteem, or
die in the attempt. In their heroic
efforts to do better, and in their bit
ter struggle to withstand tempta-
tons, their progress forward and
upward is retarded by having ex-
amples held up to them as ex-con-
victs who have TO all appearances
been guileless and devoid of base
ness until a good opportunity had
come for them to prove their abili-
ty and strength to stand by their
resolutions, but who, instead of SO
doing, decamped for parts unknown,
and those who trusted them anG
placed faith in their promises were
the loosers. 1t is unjust and wrong
in the extreme for society to thus
retard our progress by insinuating
that we might do as our predeces-
sors. But society is always Oh the
