SOCIETY seems always ready TO
make ostentatious display of reclaim
ing the fallen; it is ever ready to
subscribe literally for the benefit of
the outcast. but society hesitates to
take him back after he is reclaimed"
says one of our prison exchanges.
1t seems to us, however, that the
fault is largely with the outcast,"
himself, and not society. If it were
permissible we would like to pub
lish the names of all those men who
have gone from this institution and
by their conduct. won the esteem of
the communities in which they are
located. We hear from ex-convicts
almost every day who are we'll spok
en- of by those best able to judge.
We hear no complaints from these
men Of having been coldly received
or of having been twitted concern
ing their past But there are reas-
ons why no stones have been thrown
IN their way. They did not, like
many who leave prisons, devote a
few days to good time on the mon
ey handed them as they passed out
the gate. Nor did they sit down
with folded hands and wait for
someone to come and solicit their
services; but their first move on
leaving prison was to seek employ
ment, nor did they rest until it was
secured. They did not hesitate
about accepting common work and
low wages, but took the first job Of
fered them. They did not 60 out
into the world expecting to be re-
ceived like people receive battered
veteran returning from war; but on
the contrary they buckled their
armor on and went forth like war;
riors determined to conquer. And
they have conquered. Society did
not hesitate to take them back when
they had proven themselves worthy,
nor will 1t hesitate to take all of us
back if we do likewise.

"CRANE-ING" is the name of a
neat little magazine lately received
at our exchange table. 1t is pub
lished by The Cleveland Crane and
En- gineering Go. of Wickliffe, Ohio,
and Is an intentional effort to Gre

no doubt, that if the companies cranes

Is oft perseverance in disguise.
Continuous effort OF itself implies,
In spite of countless falls, the power to rise.

Just when the pearl is waiting, one more plunge;
How many struggler has thrown up the

AMONG the great army of the
misunderstood" the hobo, next to
the prisoner, occupies the most
prominent place. We scarcely
ever see newspaper article favor
ing him, and consequently the fol-
lowing from the Chicago Daily Trib-
une deserves more than passing
notice:
The comic artist is largely re-
sponsible for the popular misunder-
standing of the tramp or hobo.
Those who know him do not share
the simple and presumably humor-
Gus theory that the gentlemen of
the road never work and abbor
effort. An interesting correction of
this conventional fallacy is given by
Mr.. r. r. Lewis, division engineer
of. the Michigan Central railroad.
There is life and reserve energy in
a gang of hobos that is difficult to
detect among other classes of rail
way laborers.' says Mr.. Lewis. The
hobo will often soldier il he can, as
will every other laborer at times.
But the hobo can be reasoned with.

The crimson ones are turning pale,
With terror at the wintry blast
That rushes by with mournful wall,

Leaf after leaf comes signing down,
To join it's fellows on the earth,
The golden hue soon turns to brown,
Beneath the tree that gave 1t birth,
Whose naked branches seem to mourn
The offspring rudely from them torn.

pearance; SO polite, so smooth and
suave? Poor fellows, what trag-
edy their life must be. A DR.. Hyde
and Mr.. Jekel existence. Their
average salary is sixteen dollars a
week, few draw eighteen and the
old guard twenty. Fields has the
reputation of paying smaller wages
for the same class of work than any
other store on State Street. Also
their prices for merchandise is con-
siderable higher than their COMPETE
tors. Why then do they maintain
such an enormous retail trade? Be-
cause the store is in class by itself.
Shoppers are obessed with the caste
notion and like to delude themselves
that when they trade at Field they
advertise themselves as being in the
Potter Palmer set. It's 80 stylish
you know to trade at Fields. so the
dear creatures are willing to pay
two prices for their gowns and hats
because they have Fields name on
them and il impresses the neigh
bors to see Fields delivery wagons
stop at their houses.

$unbeai1i$ and Shadows
BY Blackstone.

A few years ago the religious and
secular press were expounding a.
humanitarian principle embodied in
The Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of Man." II teaches
US to acknowledge God as our splr-
itual Father and to accept our fell
low man as a brother-a beautiful
theory. If only the milk of human
kindness was more equally distribu-
ted and more brotherly hands ex-
tended to assist those who fall by
the wayside the pathway of life
would be less rocky. Speak gent
ly to the erring. remember they have
toiled in vain.' There is good
spot in everyone.
Probably few persons in public
life have been SO severely criticised
as has been the tate of the famous
actor Nat. G. Goodwin. That his
heart is in the right place is evil
denced by a story now making the
rounds of the press. 1t seems Nat
was defending clergyman who had
gone wrong I don't condone his
offense, mind you,'' said Mr.. Good
win; but / want you to be sorry
for him. Don't cackle and rejoice
over his downfall. We are all hu-
man." This was spoken by the
famous comedian in his musical and
thrilling voice and made deep i'm
preston on his hearers.
You know that Mr.. Goodwin rose
immensely in my esteem after read
ing this little story; it proves that
he has his portion of the milk of
human kindness, the sunbeam of life.
The world moves said Calico.
Yes, and we must advance with it,
to stand still is to recede. My class
motto was Nulla Vestiga retrosum,"
no steps backward. Get into the
right class then keep the pace.
Standing by the desk of superin-
tendent of large department store,
one of whose duties it was to hire
and fire it's clerks, / frequently
listened to this dialogue: We'll

What can you do?'' "Oh, any
thing, anything at all sir.'' Well.
