After the feast the ornaments which
had decked the boar's head are distrib-
uted among the invited guests.
The melody of the "Boar's Head
Carol" is always the same, but there
are several versions of the words At
the present time the following version
Is used:
The boar's mead in hand bear I,
Bedecked with bays and rosemary,
And pray you, my masters, be merry
Quot estis in convivio.

JUDGE GAMBLE BLAzED the WAY

Fairmont Sentine:-So far as the writer
has exact knowledge of the subject, Judge
w. c. Gamble of the Fairmont municipal
court was the first jurist to inaugurate the
plan of suspending sentence in the case of
a fine for an offense, where the culprit did
not have the money to pay, in order to
allow him to go out into the busy world
and earn the needed wherewithal to satisfy
blind but avaricious Dame Justice. Sever
al of the western cities have indicated a
desire to adopt his plan in dealing with
such cases, but the latest case of the kind
comes from way down east.
Governor Foss has sent special message
to the Massachusetts legislature urging that
the laws be amended SO that persons con-
victed on petty charges may be granted
time in which to pay their fines, that they
may be permitted to pay in installments.
He has found on investigation that there
are more than nine thousand people sent to
Jail annually in Massachusetts because of
inability to pay fines. The ofenses in
most cases are not serious. The results of
imprisonment, however, are very serious in
many instances. Often Jail term deprives
family of its only means of support.
The punishment falls most heavily upon
the innocent in most cases. To avoid that
condition Governor Foss would give to the
convicted an opportunity to settle without
being committed to prison.

ARE THEY WANTED OUT?

Hutchison Leader:-Apropos of the nu-
merous malefactors of influence whose prison
terms are either annulled or cut down to
nearly nothing, Mayor Brand Whitlock of
Toledo said the other day:
'Ts it good thing for the public to let
these men out so soon? Does the public
want them out?
Il was sympathizing one afternoon with
a poor woman whose husband had just
been sent to jail She was weeping bitter
ly, and l said to her:
CHOW, now, don't take it so hard! Two
years is long sentence, l know but he
may not have to serve it all. Prisoners
who behave themselves often get out
months before their appointed time.
That's just it,, the woman sobbed.
Zoe can be an angle when he likes!'

PRISONERS COLLEGE STUDENTS.

Leavenworth Dispatch to New York
Times:-More than fifty prisoners are
enrolled at the State Agricultural college
at Manhattan, taking the various courses
offered at the college, They are, SO far as
is known, the only prisoner college stu
dents in the United States. Few, if any,
of the prisoners have ever seen the college
building, and it will be some time before
any of them can see it, but nevertheless
they are enrolled students doing regular
work.
All the prisoner college students are in
mates of the United States penitentiary
here. They do their class work in their
cells and mail their lesson papers to the
college for correction. Some of the pris-
oners are studying agriculture, some civil
engineering, others, mechanics, and some
are studying dairying. Nearly all of the
students enrolled in the agricultural ol
dairy courses are men employed on the
prison farm or in the dairy.

new CHAPLAIN AT JOLIET PRISON.

Joliet News: The board of pardons and
penitentiary commission both met at the
Illinois State Penitentiary last week. Dur
ing the session of the latter Rev. A. ]. Pat
rick, of Danville, was appointed to succeed
Rev. l. Villars, as chaplain. Rev. Mr..
Vilars filled this position for the past three
years.
Rev Mr.. Patrick is a member of the
Methodist denomination and comes here
recommended as a man well fitted for his
duties. He has been in the city for the
past several days looking over conditions
and laying the plans for his work.
Owing to the death of Deputy Warden
Sims last week temporary arrangements
have been made to fill the vacancy by the
appointment of an official under former
Warden Robert Allen, Captain Michael
Kane also being on the sick list.

Section 2l69. The Ohio Board of Ad-
ministration shall establish rules and regu-
lations by which prisoner under sentence
other than for treason or, murder in the
first or second degree, having served the
minimum term provided by law for the
crime of which he was convicted and who
had not previously been convicted of felony
or served term in penal institution, or
prisoner under sentence for murder in the
second degree having served under such
sentence ten full years, may be allowed to
go upon parole outside of the buildings and
enclosure of the penitentiary. Full power
to enforce such rules and regulations is
hereby conferred upon the board, but the
concurrence of every member shall be nee
essary for the parole of the prisoner. The
board may designate geographical limits,
within and without the state, to which a
paroled prisoner may be confined, or may
at any time enlarge or reduce such limits,
by unanimous vote.

ing an official of an insurance company, a
merchant and others.
Levy testified that in one case Deputy
Commissioner Dougherty, in charge of the
detective bureau, gave him $25 with which
to purchase burglars tools, and after he
succeeded in the burglary, paid him SIS for
his services. City vouchers for these
amounts in Levy's favor were found in the
comptrollers Office.
''Deputy Commissioner Dougherty and
others involved were subpoenaed by us and
asked to waive immunity before giving
their testimony. This they refused, with
one exception, and they were not inter
rogated.
Notwithstanding the shocking nature
of this testimony and the corroboration re-
ceived, the commissioner has taken no action
whatever in the premises. 1t is not sur
prising that under such lax discipline
some detectives turn thieves.
In conclusion, the report says the bureau
is hopelesSly inefficient and should be re-
organized along drastic lines.
