WORLD TOUR GREAT SUCCESS
Japan, Philippines, Australia and
France Will Receive Americans
With Open Arms.

A warm welcome in foreign lands
awaits the Chicago White Sox and
the New York Giants, asserts James
A. Hart, formerly president of the
Chicago Cubs, who returned recently
from a trip around the world, travers-
ing part of the route the globe-trot-
ting baseball teams will follow next
winter.
He predicts an enthusiastic recep-
ton of the baseball players in all
those nations which already have
shown an interest in the sport, and
especially in Japan, the Philippines,
Australia and France.
Manila will give a great welcome
to the teams" said Mr.. Hart. $50 will

however, so the work there will be
educational rather than remunerative.

ANSWERING HIS LETTER
6y ANNA PHILPoT.

Well" Indignantly exclaimed the
at the date of the letter that the post
man had just left. 1.-TWO weeks!" She
flung her head high, and looked into
the mirror to get the effect. "I'll show
him that can keep him waiting, tool"
She unfolded the letter and read it..
Then she reread 1t.
Not an apology in it, either! l
ought just to write and tell him a
thing or two-but he'll wait at least
three weeks before he gets a word
from me! Let him see how he likes
it," She was extremely indignant
Going to her desk, she flung the let
ter disdainfully upon 1t and closed the
lid. Then she opened the desk again
and took up the letter.
81 wonder" she pondered, whether
ought to wait three weeks. l don't
believe it would be well to wait more
than just as long as he waited. That
will be a broad hint to him. But I'm
not going to be satisfied with hints!
I'm going to tell him good and plain
that If my letters. aren't OF sufficient
interest to be worth an answer before
I've forgotten everything | wrote TO
him I'll just direct them to people by
whom they will be more appreciated.
"I'll write him this very minute and
set forth matters clearly to that young
man while everythings fresh in my
mind. Then l can leave the letter un-
dated and send it later, whenever de-
eide will be best
Suiting the action TO the word, she
proceeded hastily to scribble off let
ter.
I'D better not begin to scold him at
first" she decided. "Ill just answer
his letter. I'll write as though / had
nothing to say especially, and when l
get nearly to the end I'll tell him a few
things that he ought to know"
She wrote on, happily smiling to her
self. through a number of pages.
Goodness" she reflected. What's
the use of stirring up trouble? think
I'd just better let it drop and act as
though I hadn't noticed how long a
time had elapsed since he got my let
ter. It's far better that way. Really,
it is foolish for a girl to let a man
think she's eagerly waiting and watch
ing for his letters.
Then, too, | suppose he's awfully
busy. They say that successful young

Diet and Caste.

The private secretary Of the maha-
rajah of Jhalawar recently gave a
lecture on food in London, in the
course of which he stated that the
eating of onions is conducive to
darkness Of spirit" He also averred
that the. caste system in India is
largely regulated by diet. Thus,
those Of the highest caste only eat
vegetarian meals in order to keep
their souls pure. Members of an
other caste are allowed to eat meat
so that they may become fitted to be
warriors; while the lowest caste of
all eat stale, fiat foods which suit
their unspiritual natures.

AYEW YORK-Ex-convict and the
III head Of one of the largest man.
4 ufacturing concerns in New York!
That's the record of a man who
served almost a year and half in the
water-soaked cells OF the states chief
prison. But here's his trait that
makes every man with a heart love
him-"He's the SoutSaver of Sing
Sing"
This manufacturing company is do
ing a reputable business in lower New
York city. It's president and propri-
etor is a former inmate Of the prison,
and his office employees have served
prison sentences for nearly every va
riety of crime.
The firm does about $1,000,000 a
year business and enjoys an enviable
standing for integrity and reliability.
The jailbird proprietor has an init
mate acquaintance with every notori-
Gus criminal in Sing Sing prison,
gained while he was doing time as
fellow prisoner He always hires his
employees direct from prison cells as
they are about to be paroled.
This is what business rival said
of him: He is far more honest than
most men who have never seen
jail. never question, his word. 1t is
as good as his bond, and / should be
satisfied to transact any business, no
matter how large, with him on his
verbal agreement
This is what the employer says of
his thirty ex-convict office employees:
Il have employed several hundred
at various times, and | have never
had one go back on me. These con-
victs have proven 100 per cent. hon
est"
Found Guilty of Fraud.
For obvious reasons the name of
this onvict-manufacturer is withheld,
though he makes no secret of his own
life-story. Briefly, ten years ago he
was accused of taking part in a con-
spiracy to defraud, was tried. and
found guilty. For a long time the
case hung on the records, but finally
he was sent to Sing Sing on a fifteen
months sentence, which he served.
1t was what he saw there that
caused him to start his unique employ
ment shop for ex-convicts. While liv-
ing with two other men in cell, three
feet six inches by seven feet, with the
water reeking and dripping down the
stone walls of the century-old hell
hole, he developed some radical ideas
on the present-day theory OF prisons
and prisoners.
He had ample opportunity to study
the civilization that openly tolerates
the throwing of men, who have made
a single slip. into one of those three
by-seven cells, with a pair of the low
est, most hardened, degenerate crooks
that can be found for companions. He
formed opinions as to whether a year
or two Of life in these cells with the
dregs of human degeneracy for com.
pany was of much practical value In
reforming a young clerk of good fam
lily who took a small sum OF money
out OF the till, or an unemployed boy
