Faith of the Warden.

DIXON, ILL, Sept. 2O.-Forty-five
picked prisoners from the State peni-
Tertiary at Joliet are sleping each
night practically unguarded on the
banks Of Rock River. For five or six
months they VIII enjoy most Of the
liberties afforded working road gangs
of free men.
Warden Edmund NJ Allen is deter
mined to put the new honor system
to a thorough test-the first ever at
tempted in Illinois. He asserts his
confidence that not one Of the pris-
oners will attempt TO break his
pledge and seek to escape The pris-
oners themselves are jubilant over the
confidence placed in them and have
entered into the camp life with high
enthusiasm.
Part of the men made a sor.tie
against the great hill through which
they propose to Cleave a pathway
during the next few weeks In spite
OF heat that registered more than
30 degrees they welded picks and
shovels with zeal And after Super

returned to camp duties, perfecting
arrangements for their long stay In
the late afternoon they PLAYED base
ball, went swimming, fshed. None
of the men look on the hard work
that is confronting them as other
than congenial summer outing.
A little before a. m the men
sauntered out of the front door of
the penitentiary. 1t was dark be-
cause Of a Clouded sky, and had any
wished to escape it would have been
a simple matter to slip away in the
darkness.

I'VE think too much Of the Warden.
Since he came here i'm April I have
gained in weight from 156 to $50
pounds. There is not a man in this
crowd but would fight to the death
for him. He has made himself a
personal friend to each one Of us.
while he does not guard against
any Of us breaking faith with him.
We have taken upon ourselves for
our own and his protection to estab-
lish our own guard Without his
knowledge we have selected a secret
judge and secret detective who will
report any sign Of weakness on the
part of any one of us If such a weak
ness should become manifest. once
a week or Oftener we will convene
court and summon any Of the gang
who may need a word Of warning

removed from office.
Charges of irregularity had been pre-

and it was determined to kick him
out instanter instead of permitting
him to hold office until July as at
first intended. 1t should not be in

The PiseonhoIe Tombs In Use In tn.

A rather curious and to our ideas
somewhat unpleasing custom obtains
in Spanish cemeteries. All around the
burying ground building is erected
whose design can only he compared tc
that of nest of pigeonholes. often

tons. Each pigeonhole is a tomb.

a pigeonhole for five years. and the re.

then sealed up with mortar and Il me.

The lease of the pigeonhole may be
renewed at the end of the five years,
but if it is allowed to expire the tomb
is unsealed and the bones removed to
make way for another tenant
Needless to say. the plan has some
good points. The space taken up by the
''pigeonhole cemetery" is comparative
~ small, as is also the cost of burial.
Picturesqueness is. however. conspicu-
ously absent, nor is sentimental grief
catered for, as it would be impossible
to go and mourn at the grave of per-
son buried in pigeonhole so high up
that ladder was needed to reach it.
To such as prefer the old fashioned
graves the central space of ground is
offered. but the pigeonholes are the
most popular.-Wide World Magazine.

Sam Langum on the Road Bill.

Happily the fears that the Dunn
good roads bill would be defeated in
the senate proved groundless and it
passed that body as it did the house
by a practically unanimous vote.
To our way OF thinking, this law will
do more real good for the state than
any other law passed at this or any
previous session, if the people will
but cheerfully put their shoulders
to the wheel and lend aid and en-
couragement to it's observance in
