why Not Fines by InstaIlments.

why Not Fines by InstaIIments.
From the Chicago Record Herald.
A Kansas City police magistrate
adopted a year ago the plan of allow
ing poor men fined in his court to pay
the fines in small weekly installments.
Under the ordinary practise such men
are sent to the workhouse, where they
cost the community about 81 a day.
The Kansas City experiment has been
entirely successful; the saving to the
city amounts for the year to over
$4,000, while 2j5 persons have es-
capped degradation and have been
helped by authority to remain re-
spectacle. Only three of those so
treated have been arrested for second
offenses.
Here in Chicago one or two Mu-
nicipal Court judges have in a more
limited way tried the same plan. 1t
is excellent. and should be adopted
more generally and more systemat-
icalIy. Where a fine is u sufficient
penalty, there is manifeStly no reason
for insisting on payment in full and
ON the spot Poor men and women
who work for small wages should be
allowed to discharge their debt to the
city or State on the installment plan.
one learns with interest and pleas
ure that Great Britain contemplates
a far-reaching reform measure of this
sort. Last year $4,000 persons We're
committed to prison in default of
paying a fine. The home secretary
announces a bill to permit payment of
fines by installments where this is
deemed proper and advisable. He be-
lieves that tens of thousands would
annually be spared the physical and
moral effects of a prison term. He is
sure of public support. The idea is
right and simple; it is strange that it
has been so long in reaching the
phase of practical application.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM

reached the Indian village on the
Mississnewa. She had entirely lost
her mother tongue. Her older brother
identified her by the nail being gone
from her left forefinger, as it had
been when she was lost. She recalled
the name of Frances when it was
spoken 10 her. They begged her to re-
turn with them for a sight of the old
home No she said, L am an old
tree and cannot be transplanted.' By
long habit she had become an Indian,
with their manners and course of life.
She looked entirely like an Indian,
talked slept, ate and reasoned like
one and was as Unconditional and re-
served. She had three daughters, and
a number of her descendants are yet
living in this State.
The moral of this story may be
that the Indian did better with those
whom he adopted into his environ
ment than we are now doing with
those we have adopted into ours"
Old Roman Hotels.
From Youths Companion.
The traveller who is prone to com
plain of sleepess nights spent in un-
comfoi table hotels in this country
may find some solace in this account
of the Roman hotels in the days of
the late republic and empire.
Most of the hostelries and taverns
of Rome, says Humbert de Caller in
'Usages ct Moeurs d. Autrefois,
were situated along the Appian Way.
Some of the better ones were pass
able. II was at one of the better ones
that Cicero used frequently to stop
and write his letters.
The most interesting hostelries,
how ever, We're near the circuses and
amphitheatres. The shrewd and gen.
orally dishonest owners had double
purpose in selecting that situation.
1t was well chosen for the patronage
of the huge crowds that went to the
circus on holidays to see the fights
between wild animals and the
gladiatorial combats; and the land
lords could buy conveniently and
those animals which had
been slaughtered during the day, to
be served on their tables
Thus a merrymaker might witness |
a battle between a lion and a tiger in
the amphitheatre in the afternoon, |
and if he went to nearby hotel !
might find parts of the same lion or /
tiger in his stew for dinner. A bears |
steak was considered a great delicacy |
in Rome.
The furnishings of a common room, /
which in these hotels served as |
parlor and taproom, f
We're severely simple. A few wooden |
tables, a few wooden benches and a |
sort of elevated throne We're the only |
pieces of furniture On the raised |
chair or throne sat the owner of the
inn, and watched over his guests, |
and probably his belongings.
