Hobby of Wealthy EnqIishman.

The earl of Mount-Edgcumbe, who
will be entertaining many parties at
Acknowledgements during the next few
months, would have been able to make
a living as an architect if he had been
born in a less exalted sphere. He de-
votes some of his spare moments
evolving fascinating toy palaces, each
a study of it's kind, perfect in every
detail One he had lighted with cleo
tricity. These Aladdin palaces are
sometimes passed on to lucky chill
dren of his acquaintance.-Lond

Brewers Rule.

1t was common knowledge that at
twelve o'clock noon the wealthy brew
er called in all the poor men In the
neighborhood who warmed themselves
over store and factory gratings and
made them small presents Of food,
clothing or money. The brewery graf
ings alone possessed no occupants.
I'VE don't care to stand there on ac-
count of the fumes" said one unfor-
tunate who had been requested to va
cate the trunkmaker's grating. He
won't give to anybody who smells
berry"

state Has First Claim on convicts.

State Has First Claim on Convicts.
That the state prison should be
made self-supporting, regardless OF
sentimentality, is the opinion of Ward
en- Daniel Woodward. In discussing the
subject of prison reform he says:
Much is being said on the subject
of employing our convict labor of this
and other states. In these days Of
prison reform we have the theorist
and the sentimentalist at the one ex-
IRENE, and the old prison methods at
the other extreme. 1t is the work OF
the practical and logical reformer to
find middle position, which is
square deal and justice to all con-
cerned While it is true that the Grim
inal has a claim upon our thought, it
is also a fact that the honest laboring
man and taxpayer has his just claim
upon our consideration.
Much is being said about our
binder Irvine plant. AS warden of this
institution, | would like to see the
plant placed in operation, but with the
low price of Irvine and the high prices
of raw material, it is not PROPOSE
ton a business man or corporation
would consider Under favorable cir
cumstances other states have sacri-
feed hundreds Of thousands of dollars
in placing their plants in operation,
and that with the price of twine
double what it is today and the price
of raw material much lower. To my
mind we have no moral right to throw
away hundreds of thousands of the
taxpayers money in an enterprise that
the keen business NAV would not
think of investing in as private
business.
$50 far as employment Tor the
convicts, it would not give employ
ment to more than so of the 700 men.
The time would never come when We
employed more than rs men in the
plant. So far as the work is con-
cerned, it is generally conceded that
it is not as good for the average con-
vict as the present employment.
I'VE have good system of convict
labor now. Our present system is
much misunderstood by the public.
After a most careful study, | am con-
WINGED that our convicts are given bet
ter physical conditions than the aver
age factory laboring man outside. Our
records show that large per cent of
our inmates gain in weight and i'm
prove in health while in the institu-
ton, as result of nutritious food and
regular habits and the best sanitary
conditions"

Placing the Incense Plant.

For many centuries the incense
plant had been in Christian churches
before it really became identified
botanically. Sir George Birdwell, a
distinguished English botanist, and for
many years special technical adviser
TO the India office, is given credit for
the identity of the plant Acting on
his suggestion men were sent out
into South Arabia and the Somali
country, returning with specimens OF
what Sir George had been seeking.

A charity expert was talking about

tricts according to provisions of the

A GOOD STORY WILL
BEAR REPEATING

The Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph
Company has invested in
property $l.l5 for every dol
lars worth of stock issued.
1t has no bonds, no interest
charges, consequently, its
rates are ll% less than its in
vestment actually warrants.
Had you ever thought of it
in that light?
The only possible answer
to lower rates is a reduction
in operating costs. These
are now as low as careful
management will permit
without injuring the quality
of service. To give good
service. good rates are essen
tial. Goodserv and good
rates go hand in hand, and
are alike just to the public
and to the corporation which
has no water in its stock
whick pays only honest.
reasonable dividends. Safe.
reasonable dividends are de-
served bya corporationwhich
has more actual property than
stock issued.
Repeating, The Mountain
States has $l.l5 invested for
every dollar Of capitalization.
