HIS RESULTS.

Contractors Pay 10 Cents an
Hour for Work of the
Convicts.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov l2.-Prson
labor, when properly and humanely
handled is as satisfactory and eff-
cient as any other class of common
labor, declared c. H. Coleman, state
highway commissioner Of Virginia, iu
an address before the Fourth Amer.-
can Roads Congress here today. Mt
Coleman described convict labor sys-
tens In operation In Virginia and
spoke from his eight years experience
IN using prisoners on public road
work. lie asserted that prison labor
had an advantage over free labor, in
that the former was more regular
and under better control.
Under the Virginia system the
speaker said, when road work is done
under contract, prisoners are fur
nished to the contractors at ten cents
an hour each. when the work Is
done by force account, the county
provides the superintendents teams,
tools, materials and machinery and
the state provides the guards food,
clothing and transportation, which,
Mr. Coleman said, about equally di-
vidcs the cost OF road work between
the county and the state.
Mr.. Coleman favored the force ac-
count plan, asserting better results
had been obtained under that system,
both for the county and for the con-
Wet.
The Virginia highway department,
he said, now maintains camps In thir-
ty-one counties. About 1,10O conylcts
and 500 jail prisoners are working on
the roads Of the state. 1t has cost
the state during the last year to
clothC, feed, guard and otherwise pro-
vide for this labor, approximately
ffty-one cents per man per day
Mr.. Coleman believed the most eco
nomical results could be obtained
from prison labor working under
guard lie recommended that long
torn, dangerous prisoners be worked
in stockades and under guard in the
stone quarrics; that the short term,
first offenders" be placed i'm road
camps and employed under guard in
grading and construction work; that
the TRUSTEES be worked without guards
as rollermon, enginemen and in shap-
ing the highways, etc, and that the
paroled men be used as patrolmen or

CLASS HAS meeting.
OFFICERS ELECTED AND PLANS
MADE FOR SESSIONS REST

The second meeting of the Bible
class OF the Tulsa High school was
held yesterday afternoon Immediately
after school dismissed. Officers were
elected and full arrangements made
for subsequent meetings, which will
be held at o'clock in the afternoon
on Thursday every second week. The

c. A. and Is largely composed of the
same members, the two meetings oc-
cupying Thursday afternoons of each
week alternatiVely.
The plan of having a short program
just before the Bible lesson at each
meeting was decided upon. The Holy
City" was sung by Lillian Roach and
Ruth Toeves presented two readings,
The Dead House" and "Chambered
Nautilus" Norman Miller sang
solo, "One Sweetly Solemn Thought"
After the program was ended the
Bible study began, The subject yes
terday was The Needs OF the World
and How They Are Met" Miss Sni-
dow, having charge of the class, con-
Quoted the lesson much in the form
OF a lecture, presenting the subject in
its different phases and applying the
references carefully for the benefit of
her hearers.
Success" is the subject Of the les
son one week from Thursday, and an
other interesting program will be pre-
sented by the members Of the class.
As the work continues the members
will be drawn gradually into more ac-
tive work and occasionally have a
chance to take the leading part. The
High school is especially proud OF It's
Y. w. c. A., which Is the only one in
the state which IL affiliated with the
national organization. and every eff
fort is being made to broaden the
work into more practical channels,
the Bible class being the first branch
which has materialized.

any constitution, and is often offered
as one of the most dangerous COusC-

the boy is, however, caused by in
ttrnal ailment he suffers with sick
stomach, presumably causing bad
taste in his mouth, and resulting In
the habit Of continual splitting For
the past three weeks he has been af-

TAKE CASCARETS
TONIGHT. CLEAN YOUR BOWELS
AND END HEADACHES, COLDS
SOUR STOMACHS.

You men and women who can't get
feeling right--who have headache
coated tongue, bad taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are bill
ious, nervous and upset, bothered
with a sick, gassy disordered stom-
ach, or have a bad cold.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a
passagoway every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil?
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested, fermcnting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of the system all
the constipated waste matter and
poison in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning. 10-cent box
from any drug store will keep your
stomach sweet; liver and bowels regu-

forget the children. They love Cas-
carcts because they taste good-never

UNIQUE methods OF

DOCTOR RELIEVED or MONEY
BY AUTOISTS: HOME AND
STORE BURGLARIZED

Three remarkable robberies were
staged in Tulsa this week, all but one
Of which seems to have been done by
experienced hands. DR.. James NJ.
Harris was the unfortunate victim of
the first robbery. He was coming
home from the country and was in
the neighborhood of the fair grounds
about 10 o'clock Monday night, when
he observed three men in an automo-
bile who seemed TO be having some
trouble with their engine. Accord
ingly he went to help them, but as
soon as he got in speaking distance
he found himself covered with re-
volver and considered it best to give
up what money he had, amounting to
SIPS In currency.

Caught Burglar.

The last one was early yesterday
morning when officers of the local
force answered the call stating that
two men had been killed in the neigh
borhood of the glass factory. and
found that l.. NJ. Workman had fired
the shots which gave the alarm, for
the purpose OF frightening Harry
Roach, whom he caught searching his
trousers. Only few days before he
had taken Roach in when he was
hungry and made an effort to help
him out Of a difficulty. Roach had
stayed with him until he had been
caught stealing Workman's clothing
and pawning them, but was then sent
away. Yesterday morning he returned
in the hope Of finding money in
Workman's pocket while the latter
was asleep. The officers captured
Roach, who was found to be a habit
ual user of drugs and a worthless
character. Judge Clark gave him a
sentence OF 80 days in Jail at police
court yesterday morning.

Took Gold Pieces.

A cigar store on East Third street
was robbed Of $35 in gold Wednesday
night, apparently by some one who
knew the workings Of the secret vault.
The money was on a punch board,
three $40 and one IS gold pieces on
watch fobs. The reason for believ-
ing that the burglar was familiar with
the situation, is that nothing was mo-
Tested except the place where the
punch board was kept
Fred Pitevel Of 724 South Elgin
was made the object Of a hold-up, in
which he was relieved of $35 in cash.
He was on his way home about 8
o'clock Tuesday night when two men
approached him from out Of an alley
as he passed and compelled him at
the point Of a gun to raise his hands
while being searched. Fearing a re-
fusal would result in his being shot
he complied and was allowed to go
unhurt

Nicely DISGUISED.

Some days ago, about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon, the principal police in
spector of the Second district was call
ed to an affair as delicate as 1t was
urgent. He quickly made up his dis
guise. For his bourgeois melon hat he
substituted cap, the classic cap Of
the Apaches. He then jumped into an
auto. He was not recognizable, or,
rather. he would not have been If the
honorable inspector had not retained
upon his breast the red ribbon of the
Legion of Honor, a ribbon that he
had heroically won at Choisyle-Roi

schiId MateriaIU

II parents do not know by this tine
how to bring up their children 1t IL
not for lack of instruction. A few
generations ago Solomon was the only
writer on child study who enjoyed any
vogue Now his precepts, the acrid
fruits Of experience, have been super
seeded by more genial but more impOr-
tant counsel
Begirt by well wishers, hemmed in
on every side by experts who speak Of
"child material as If it were raw silk
or wood pulp, how can little boy
born in this enlightened age dodge the
educational influences which surround
him?
1t is hard to be dealt with as "child
material" when one is only an ordinary
little boy. To be sure, Child material"
is never thrashed as little boys were
wont to be. 1t is not required to do
what 1t is told. 1t enjoys rights and
privileges Of very sacred and exalted
character; but, on the other hand, 1t Is
never let alone, and to be let alone Is
sometimes worth all the ministrations
of men and angels. The helpless, in
articulate reticence of child is not an
obstacle to be overcome, but barrier
which protects the citadel of child
hood from assault.-Agnes Repplier In

Wanted to Be Thought rimid.

Anatole France has one quaint char
acteristic. He likes to be regarded as
a man of exceptional timidity. Some
years ago NJ. France visited Argentina
on a lecturing tour, and shortly before
his departure he said to journalist
who had expressed his willingness to
be at the lecturers services: 81 want
you to work up a reputation for me
before / get out there. l don't know
that l am particularly timid, but
should like to be thought so. A timid
man can do anything If he is silent
when he ought to speak people say,
How charming! He's so timid And
If he speaks when he should be silent
they set that down to nervousness. A
timid man can dare so much with
sweet impunity Please tell your com
patriots that l am very timid."-Bos-

Climate and Sleep.

Climate has something to do with
the amount Of sleep required by a
man. In India, for instance, sleep
overtakes people at the most unexpect-
ed moments Speaking at a dinner
given in his honor at Simla when he
gave up the post Of finance member Of
the council, Sir Guy Fleetwood Wilson
recalled his first budget statement be-
fore the council. 1.-THE day was alb
normally hot and close, even for Cal
cutta in summer time. Partly owing
to the heat, but partly no doubt owing
to the wearisome effect of my first at
tempt at oratory, one by one every sim
gle member present went to sleep, and
it is the simple truth that after awhile
l actually fell asleep myself in the
course Of the delivery of my state
ment" This surpasses the feat Of the
late Duke of Devonshire, who paused
in the middle Of his maiden speech in
parliament to yawn.

Passing of the cou. Blanc.

In the Alpine valleys, near the Little
st. Bernard, there is cultivated a spe-
cies OF goats to which the natives give
the name of "cou-blanc"
They have peculiar markings. The
neck and shoulders are entirely white,
the rest of the body jet black. The
head is curiously marked in black and
white, always the same. About the
only variation is in the feet, which are
either black or white.
These goats are almost unsurpassed
as milk producers. The variety has
existed for centuries and is as dis
tinct a variety as the HOlstein or Jer-
sey COW. This in spite Of changing
population, which is a mixture Of many
races.
Unfortunately the evils of excessive
inbreeding are showing, and this inter
esting race seems doomed to extlnc-
ton, like the wild white cattle of Eng
land.-Exchange.

Probably one of the least known
clubs in New York has its home on the
borders of the lake in Central park,
opposite Seventy-seventh street and
Central Park West. The clubhouse is
a tiny wooden structure, with an equal
ly tiny veranda and little pier run
ming out twenty feet into the water.
Here ON spring and summer evenings
business men, Wall street brokers,
merchant princes, famous lights of the
bar, actors and men of science gather,
armed with fishing rod and reel, to
while away an hour or two in the fas-
cinating sport Of fly casting. The men
are members Of the Anglers club Of
New York, and they find relaxation
and enjoyment in listening to the
whirr Of the line as 1t slips off the
reel. The club is one Of the most ex-
elusive In the city. 1t has been in ex-

ments regularly every month, yet per
sons never knew 1t existed or noticed

Sleep Curiosities,

One Of the curious facts brought to
light by the scientists who are fond
of trying to solve the mystery Of sleep
is that when one is fast asleep some
part of his brain or several parts Of 1t
may at the same time be awake. A
man may walk, talk, sing or solve
mathematical problems and yet at the
same time be safely in the land Of nod
Another curious fact about sleep is
that the further the part of the body
is away from the brain the less sound
ly 1t sleeps. A touch on the toe will
awaken one much more readily than
a touch on the shoulder.
