AFTER MANY DAYS.

On the II of this month the
NEWS received through the postof-
flee letter from Buchanan post
marked March 20. 1t was from a
correspondent and bore the pen
name BILLY and Bobby" The en-
velope had lost its postage stamp
and had evidently been in the wat
er. The flap of the envelop had
been loosened by the water, and
the letter itself was much discolor-
ed. Where 1t had wandered in the
21 days of its journey to Louisa
would be hard to tell. 1t was a
newsy letter. the penship and or
typography were excellent. and it
bore the real names of the writer's.
The NEWS regrets the unavoidable
delay in transmission and asks its
correspondents to come again.

PATIENCE AND INGENUITY.

Patience and ingenuity that are
admirable in themselves, but require
an equal degree of vigilance on the
part of others to watch. were de-
scribed, when, following recent or
der in the Frankfort reformatory
that any prisoner found possessing
knife would be punished. Warden
A. j. G.. Wells had q search made.
The search brought to light cur
ious collection of handmade cutlery
including one dirk, at least ten in
ches long. with a handle made OF
leather rings. The sharpening of the
edges had not been completed, but
it was already deadly weapon.
Other knives were made of the steel
springs of shoes, that the owner
could shave with, and even the fac
ing of an ordinary door knob had
been ground down to an edge.
Incidentally the warden gathered
several emery discs used for pipe
lighters. One of these discs with two
holes in it is hung on a. double
string, which, being twisted around
and around, and then drawn taut,
sends the discs spinning with great
velocity. The rest of the parapher-
MALTA consists of a small box with
nails in it and some cotton waste
in the box. The whirling disc is
allowed to strike the nails and the
resultant sparks ignite the cotton.
From this. prisoners in the cells
obtain lights for smoke in bed.

something OF every branch OF econo-
my, from finance to cooking; though
harassed by a hundred responsible
ties, though driven and worried,
though humiliated and looked down
upon, they never revolt and they
can not organize for their own pro-
lection; not even sickness relieves
them from their post. No sacrifice
| is deemed too great for them to
make, and no incompetency In any

Home Making and Homo Makers.
To the true man or woman there
can be nothing more agreeable on
earth than the business OF home
making! and all who are not home
makers miss the best part of their
mission in life. Who ever makes a
home, in the best sense of the word
is a real benefactor to the race; for
every true home is the abode OF Joy,
peace and happiness to those who
share it, and exerts an influence
that is incalcuable for the ameliora-
tion of the whole human family.
Many a prodigal has been led by
the thoughts of home and the max
ers of his own particular home, to
repent of his sins and to change
his course of life; and many an un-
fortunate one has been saved in the
eyD hour from suicide. or worse.
by the tender recollections of home,
Of fond mothers prayers, an indulg-
ent fathers councils, or sisters
or brothers tenderness.
Yes, whoever helps to make a true
home confers a benefit on mankind
that no man can fully estimate. In
Geed. the influence of the true home
for good is absolutely incalculable.
and reaches many even that never
enter its inner circle. Simply to get
a glimpse of 1t is to receive an i'm
pulse for better things, to obtain
more exalted view of life. and to
feel an excess of faith in God and
the Immortality OF the human soul.
l. Is like vision of the glories OF
the New Jerusalem, and the ever
lasting habitations. and no one can
be wholly bad who has seen such
things.

Give the children work as well
as play. An idle person Is neither
