A PRISONER serving life sem
tence in the Connecticut state pris-
on at ethersfield, recently donated
large sum of money to the local
Salvation Army camp. The money
represented the savings of years,
and was given freely and unasked.
Utterly removed from the re
world, denied all that makes life
worth living to the average man,
and with small hope of ever breath
ing the air Of freedom again, this
poor unfortunate chap is still intent
upon doing what good he can. He
has perhaps denied himself all the
little luxuries so dear to the heart of
the average prisoner. and has hoard
ed his savings that they might be
the means of aiding a few poverty
stricken families outside the dreary
prison walls. Surely, no good can
come Of keeping such a man in
prison!

The MENTOR, published at the

one Of the most valued visitors to
our tablets issued this month under
a new artist. 'Petronius,' who
held the position for two years, and
therein acquitted himself admirably,
was forced to vacate because Of ill
ness. The work of "Petronius'' was
held in high esteem by those Of us
here who had the pleasure of read
ing the Mentor, and it is hoped that
health and happiness will speedily
come to his rescue. The new artist

worthy to don the mantle of his
predecessor and the excellence of
his first efforts, fully justify The
Mirror in congratulating him on

A REOCCURRENCE of flood disasters
like the present in the southern Miss
issippi valley, are liable to happen
every spring. Man built Ievees are
far too weak to endure the enormous
strain Of the river at high water, and
are almost sure to give away in
places. The present disaster, how
ever. is very small to what will hap
pen a few years hence, when the
river has raised it's bed a few feet
higher with debris from the uplands.
The nation will awake some morn
ing to find that strip, miles wide,
on both sides of the river has been
swept clean of cities and towns
from the Ohio, south. There is but
one way to avert destructive floods
Of the southern Mississippi and that
is to dredge the river. 1t would be
an enormous undertaking. certainly,
but nevertheless, it is the only way
to safety.

proved to be equally helpless. When
the case was referred to second
outside agency its operative con-
cealed dictagraph in his room at a
hotel with the receiver in an adj
joining room. Summoning two of
the suspected men to his room he
said just enough to create the i'm
preston that he could tell a great
deal about car repair graft if he
wanted to, then excused himself and
went out. He hurried into the next
room where he picked up the re-
ceiver of the dictagraph and lis
tened.
What do. you think he knows?o
asked one of his callers.
oh. he doesn't know anything .
He is on to something, all right. y
Don't you believe it. Let me
talk to him and I'll fix things up"
Thereupon ensued discussion of
the story to be told. In ten minutes
the dictagraph b a d accomplished
something b at had baffied the
shrewdest detectives in the country
for ten months; for when the ami
able host returned he knew enough
about the affair to warrant the arrest
of former general manager, gener-
al superintendent and the general
storekeeper of the railroad. At the
preliminary hearing a conspiracy
was uncovered which involved a
number of railroad employees rang
ing all the way from yard men to a
vice president. The gang had plum
dered the company of at least a
million and half of dollars. Had
it not been for the dictagraph the
gang might still be operating.

A CERTAIN amount of opposi-
tion," says John Neal, lis a great
help to a man. Kites rise against
the wind, and not with the wind:
even a head wind is better than
none. No man ever worked his
passage anywhere in a dead calm.
Let no man wax pale, therefore, be-
cause of opposition; opposition is
what be wants and must have to be
good for anything. Hardship is the
native soil of manhood and self-re-
lance. He that cannot abide the
storm without fiinching, lies down
by the wayside, to be overlooked or
forgotten !"

A NEW confidence game is being
worked with much success in New
York. A well dressed individual
accosts a child of some well-to-do
family and promises him pet ami
NAL or bird, providing he will go
home and find piece Of silver plate
large enough to catch it with. The
child delightfully."- runs home and
selecting, of course, the largest sill
yer cup or bowl IN the house, gives
it over to the confidence man, who
then does the usual.

Why did he come to the hall that
hour if God had not called him? AS
ne stopped and looked at those
kneellng at the mercy seat-at the
throne OF God, his desire must have
been to kneel and be pardoned. Oh
God, If he had only come to the
cross then. accepting Christ as his
only Savior. 1t was only step to
a glorious victory. His soul would
then have been saved and he would
have had peace with his Maker. 1t

hear that voice again.
We may well shudder at the
thought of the devil winning the
victory, but his poor victims receive
heartless and torturing reward. A

THAT old saying set beggar on

yet had the opportunity for confirm
alton; for in the first place, no one
would be SO foolish as to trust his

it is not likely that he would be al

THE INVINClBLE DETECTIVE

Two Italians were recently ar
rested in Pennsylvania for the muir
der of paymaster. Although NOR
ally certain that they had the right
men the detectives lacked the nee
essary legal evidence to secure a
conviction. A hurry call for die
tagraph was turned in, then the two
suspects were placed together in a
cell in which the instrument was
concealed. Their lawyer, suspect
ing the very trap that was laid,
warned his clients against it. To be
on the safe side he told them rot to
speak at all. For nine days and
nights the jailers listened, but not
one word did the prisoners utter.
Their silence becoming intolerable
at last. they began discussing their
crime on the tenth night in tones
meant to be too low to reach the ear
of tn e mysterious eavesdropper.
They did not stop until they had
sealed their own death warrants.
Some time ago the Illinois Cen
trail railroad management became
convinced that It was the victim of
an extensive swindle in the matter
of car repairs. The roads own Sc
cret service operators were ordered
to investigate, but they could find
out nothing. Then an outside de-
tectiye agency was called in which
