The wind across the snowclad hills,
A restess spirit, roves.
The murmur Of the frozen rills
Still echoes In the groves.
The stripped trees, bending to the eartn'
Their tale Of sorrow tell;
flushed are the sounds Of recent mirth
That peeled in every dell
Old winter breathes along the plain
It's chilling breath Of snow;
The pillows bounding DER the main

The sky is frowning, gray and cold.
The earth Is brown and sere,
Yet on each barren waste and void
The Yuletide bells ring clear.

is to have the cross-stitch always slant

One of the most famous echoes IS to be
heard in Woodstock Park, OxfoTdshire,
England, which is said to repeat seventeen
syllables by day and twenty by night. Al
though this statement is to be found in
various standard textbooks and treatises
on the subject it has lately been contra
dicted by Mr.. Bacon, before quoted. The
latter remarks, however, that the diminu
ton of this classic echo is probably due to
the removal of various buildings in its
neighborhood.
A most striking interior echo is feature
of the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake
City. When this hall is empty and quiet
the ring of pin falling on the floor can be
heard from all points, and even the faint
rasping sound produced by rubbing the
hands together is perfectly audible from one
end of the building to the other.
In the cathedral of Girgenti in Sicily, the
slightest whisper is borpe with perfect dis
tinctness from the region of the great door
to a location in the upper part of the
church about two hundred and fifty feet
distant 1t is said that this circumstance
led to the removal of the confessional from
near the entrance as a result of an accidental
discovery of the peculiar acoustic effect and
a consequent tragedy in which love, jeal
ousy, and manslaughter figured jointly.
Although acoustics would seem to account
satisfactorily for many echoes, there yet
remains much that is mysterious and BAT
fling concerning them.

nous echoes, until one would fancy that it
was resounding through the universe.
Some echoes, in their mystic character
would seem to approach the domain Of
psychic phenomena, which IS elic1t1ng so
much and such puzzled attention. One OF
these ghostly tricks of sound is to be found
n the gardens of Aux Rochers, in France,
which was once the residence of Madame de
oevigne The chateau is situated near the
Id town of Wire. A broad gravel walk on
lead level conducts through the gardens to
he house. In the center OF this, on par
ocular spot, the listener IS placed at the dis
tance of ten or twelve yards from another
person, who addresses him in a low and al
most inaudible whisper, when immediately
as from tens of thousands of invisible
tongues, starting from the earth beneath, or
as if every pebble was gifted with powers OF
speech, the words are repeated with slight
Missing sound, not unlike the whirling of
small shot through the air. On removing
rom this spot, however trif1ing the distance,
che intensity of the repetition is sensibly
diminished and within few feet ceases to
De heard. Under the impression that the
ground beneath was hollow, the soil was re-
Gently dug up to considerable depth, but
without discovering any clue to the mystery.
The resemblance Of this echo to that heard
Statuary Hall is obvious; yet it is equally
clear that the theory regarding the con-
formation of doomed roof and floor is not
senable in this instance.

THE PEOPLE OF THE WALLED CITY
Continued from page 8

enlargement from this source; and gradu
ally he falls into the prevailing habit of doing
what he is told to do.
Now and again the new man, eager to set
tie his scores at once, makes desperate
break for liberty almost as soon as he IS
brought in He may attack his guards, pos
sibly calling upon his comrades to assist.
But here the lack of the power to act in con-
cert asserts itself. In the moment of in
decision that decides the issue five strong
pairs of arms, guided by five normal minds
that can act quickly and in concert, over
power the newcomer, and the opportunity
for his comrades acting in concert IS lost.
Blows are seldom necessary and are seldom
given; but the effect upon the criminal IS
precisely the same as that of a pummeling in
the outside world. He would hesitate to at
tack a second time the man who has mas
tered him once outside; and he will have the
same hesitation about again attacking his
keepers in the asylum.
TT must not be understood that blows are
! never struck within the Walled City.
Blows must be struck sometimes even in the
best organized communities, much as we
may deplore the fact; but just as they are
the exception in the outside world, so they
are in asvlums. The occasion arises, how
ever, from time to time, when desperate
fights are absolutely unavoidable; tor, al
though it is criminal act to strike an insane
man in a hospital, no man is supposed to let
himself be killed without offering every re-
sistance in his power. 1t is these occasional
cases that have led to the popular belief in
the constant abuses of patients in asylums.
Sometimes man is afflicted with an I'm
usual amount of "cussednesS" as well as IN

come of which makes it worth relating.
The man in question came into the GRIM
inal asylum charged with the crime of as
saulting an officer He was large, raw
boned, surly fellow, who began making
trouble almost as soon as he came into the
ward. Before twenty -four hours had passed
he had had three set-tos with other patients,
winning all three, and proving himself
game fighter. When not wandering about
Hooking for trouble" as the attendant put
it, he sat sullenly in corner.
So far he had confined his pugilistic atten-
tons to his fellow convicts; but it was evil
dent that it would be only matter of time
until he would be reaching out and attacking
his keepers.
One morning the attendant spoke to me
about the matter, and | could see that his
patience was being sorely tried.

then said, "Young teller, when you've been

name Instead of spellin it I-go, you II spell
t 1-stay.'
At another time a clergyman who was
visiting the institution and had noticed
Jackson, asked that he might have talk
with him. Accordingly Jackson was brought
out to the superintendent Office, and as it
happened was given a chair placed between
the clergyman and the chief physician. On
his right and left, therefore, were representa-
tives of two classes OF persons whom he
looked upon as enemies of mankind. He
seated himself, crossed his knees, folded his
hands in his lap, and announced simply:
Gentlemen, | am better man than the
Savior
an what way?' asked the clergyman in
nocently.
@Why, like this said Jackson, looking
significantly at the men seated beside him.
aIhe Savior died between two thieves; but
I'm alive and settin' here
BEFORE this time the question has prob
= ab1v arisen in the mind of the reader
How then is this Walled City, this veritable
den of thieves, controlled and governed?
Since most of the inhabitants are criminals,
many of them desperate outlaws, all thirst
ing for liberty, how can such a city be gov
erned by handful of unarmed men, if the
inmates are allowed to mingle freely to
gether?
The answer is simple. Here is a ward in
which there are some seventy-five criminals,
under the care of FIVE keepers, unarmed and
n no manner differently equipped than their
patients, except that they carry keys. Ply
sically they are no better than correspond
ing number of the criminals. Why IS it that
some alf-dozen of the desperate criminals
do not plan a concerted attack secure the
KEYS, and escape The hope of gaining his
liberty is upperrnost in the mind of each and
every one of the seventy-five. Nothing, not
even murder ITSELF would stand in the way
Of many of them to regain it. And yet they
seldom attempt it, rarely accomplish it. But
why not
Simply because they cannot act in con-
cert, even for the short time necessary to
accomplish their dearest wish. Individually
they frequently plan and execute compli-
Gated and desperate means of escape; but
when any number of them attempt to put
their heads together and plan general con-
certed movement, their insanity asserts
itself and prevents success
1t frequently happens that when a new
inmate arrives he has carefully planned
means of fighting his way to liberty. Indeed,
many of them feign insanity in the prisons
for this very purpose but the new surround
ings distract their attention for few days,
and by that time they have discovered that
unseen eyes and unknown influences are
acting all about them night and day to hold
them to the usual routine of the institution.
Possibly the newcomer confdes to fellow
criminal his deep-laid plans, asks his con-
nivance. But as a rule he gets scant en-

RED CROSS SEALS
ON SALE in CITY

Do you know that one of. if not the
biggest, good works undertaken by the
Womah's clubs of this country is in
aiding the cause of the fight against
tuberculosis, by the sale of these seals?
And do you know that every cent spent
for them here is used here, and as
much more as is needed? The past
year the Hood River Woman's club has
used over $50 of this fund in caring for
patients afflicted with this dread dis
ease. And it is from the sale of these
little seals alone that this fund is cre-
ated. Do your part. Ten cents spent
by each person in this county would
mean a wonderful help to the cause.
Buy them and use them. Let every
parcel and letter sent from now until
Christmas bear one of these seals.
