 First to protect the community against him. We incarcerate him, shave his head. put him at hard labor, isolate him, or even hang him. so that Innocent citizens may be safe from his pernicious activities.
 Second, we punish him to teach him a lesson" to change him and make him an honest man.
 Third, 1t is also to give an example to other eVildoers and by fear to dis- suade them from crime
 All very well. The only trouble is that sending a man to the penitentiary does not result in any of these bene- fits. ..

Ellis had the greatest Thanksgiving celebration it has ever had as many hungry men as could crowd into the rooms of the mission were literally fed and helped along. During the last few weeks the missions sleeping accommodations have been taxed to the limit nightly and the interest has never been greater in this philanthropic enterprise, of Yale students.

The plan of the New England Alum nj association to establish an Anniver- sary day in New Haven is one that is. attracting much interest and getting much conmendation It follows the plan of the associated western Yale club which gets together annually for business and pleasure in some city of the middle west. It is the same idea with which Anniversary day for Yale men in New England is proposed. Washington's birthday is the day set tied upon, and a gathering of graduates in New Haven then will give them & chance to see the normal life of the university, which naturally is not the case at the other times when Yale men usually come back to alma mater, for the championship football games and for the festivities of commencement week.

ity of our sitters want us to paint them beaut-
full as is consistent with the laws of art. A
woman of thirty has developed. She has learned
the value Of dress, how to attire herself in a
manner that enhances any physical charms she
may possess Girhood lacks the development Of
more mature age. Therefore, woman of thirty
may present far more attractive appearance
