BAD PLACE FoR a CRIMINAL
Governor stone pIseevsrs one Inmate
81 PsnItsntIary Who 10 Willing
20 Admit Guilt.

Senator Stone. while In the execu.
tive once Of Missouri, one day visited
the state penitentiary at Jefferson.
After his fashion he went among the
prisoners and talked to them freely.
seeking to ind out the causes and
conditions of the crimes that sent
them there. During q whole day Gov
ernor Stone found not q single man
who failed to declare that he was in.
nocent OF the crime with which he was
charged, that perjured testimony had
sent him there, or that prejudiced
jury had returned an unjust verdict.
and that he was, and always had been.
an honest man.
Finally. about sunset, the governor
found single man who. on being In
terrogated. promptly declared:
II stole horse because wanted
to ride to Kansas, and was caught
and convicted, and have nothing to
say about the verdict"
WELL said Senator Stone, II will
see about your discharge tomorrow.
/ cannot willingly consent to let q
confessed criminal like you are remain
in this penitentiary. where you may
corrupt the morals of SO many hon.

BOYS FoREoRDAINED TO FAIL
Youth Who 10 Spared All Work BY

We can only wonder at the silly
way in which some men waste their
lives.
One day 1t IL q man In Cincinnati
who enters bank. shooting this way
and that. scoops the money into q
bag while the employees hide. leaps
into q stolen motor car. enacts the
robbery again in another bank. and
at last, when cornered. kills a police
man and IL himself killed.
Enough of adventure, excitement
and tragedy to last lifetime crowded
into few hours. with murder at the
end.
But what for? The chances Of the
man getting away were 30 remote
that only fool would have under
taken the job.
The next day 1t is Kansas City.
Two men rob shopkeeper of dia-
monds and money and try to escape
by running through crowded streets.
silly and futile thing to undertake.
The end of their folly will be years
and years OF hard work, hard living.
lonesomeness and heartbreaking mo-
notony in prison.
The man who undertakes to live
by his wits. to get money without
working for 1t, is foreordained to fail
ure. And yet there are always men
starting on that road.
In general they are men who failed

end Of life was to get on with as little
effort as possible. The boys who are
spared all work by indulgent parents,
who expect everything to be done for
them and to do nothing for anybody
else. are on the wrong road. They
are getting the demoralizing ideas
that are responsible for such wrecks
as come daily to the criminal court.

MOTOR WHEEL FOR BICYCLE

The application Of gasoline motor
to an ordinary bicycle is not new. but
1t Is extremely doubtful II many of
the attachments of this nature are of
much practical value. AS a rule the
attachment involves some more or less
serious and expensive change in the
frame Of the bicycle. The motor

conventional attachments of this ma

'HARD TO CULTIVATE.
Orchid Long a Puzzle to Hortl-
culturists.
Beautiful But Strange Flower Re-
quIres Expert Handling and
knowledge Of surroundings In
Which Il 10 Grown.

Probably there Is no flower In the
whole plant world which is admired
more and understood less today than
the orchid, the development and cult
walton OF which are discussed by j..
Constantin in a paper OF the Smithso
man annual report Upon entering q
house filled with orchids one is liter
ally amazed by the bizarre display,
the brilliance OF color and the pecu-
liar forms of leaves. petals and roots
The number OF known species is
greater than that of any Of the related
families, even not excepting the
grasses, totaling 5000 species. includ-
ed in 400 genera. This great number
is, no doubt, due very largely to the
diligent search which has been made
for these plants, on account OF their
beauty and very great popularity
They have otherwise very little eco
nomic value, excepting few mem
bers, such as the vanilla plant.
Some of the orchids are terrestrial;
that is, they grow with their roots
In the ground. The great majority.
however, including most tropical spe-
cies, are epiphytes-"air plants
which grow on trees and shrubs. but
receive no nourishment from them
This popularity was chiefly respon-
sible for the difficulty which was ex-
perienced in successfully growing
many species upon their Introduction
into Europe from Asia and Malaysia
in the eighteenth century
For most epiphytes the scheme was
devised of fastening the roots to q
piece of wood, together with a little
moss or absorbent peaty substance.
by means of copper wire. Plants thus
prepared we're hung in very warm
greenhouses and kept constantly
moist by frequent drenching. 1t was
supposed that tropical plants required
an invariably hot humid atmosphere;
and 1t was not foreseen that mountain
species of tropical regions could be
treated essentially like tropical plants
that are accustomed to elevated tenn
peratures.
There are in fact many orchids.
and some of these very beautiful.
which grow in the reighborhood Of
snow. The error of associating
plants from widely different surround
ings was finally recognized and
eventually more rational methods OF
cultivation developed. leading to the
usual separation OF orchids in three
kinds of greenhouses. according to
temperatures maintained IN them
hot houses, temperate houses and
cold houses. Many of the finest
orchids are found in the last
Some artificially produced hybrids
are extremely beautiful, as well as pc
culiar. and the difficulty of their pro-
duction is such that they command ex.
traordinary prices. as high as $500
having been paid in single instance.
Once created these hybrids may be
propagated indefinitely by dividing
the root stock as 1t grows

English Newspaper Comments on Dual
Qualities o. Thoss Who Have
Been Called Great.

An enticing subject for discussion
IL the writer ~ orator. II is, of
course. undcniable that the mental
processes belonging to to two orders
of expression are wholly different.
hut says q correspondent of the Man.
chester Guardian, 1 should challenge
very strongly the contention that the
good writer IL seldom good speaker.
Putting aside Burke. Gladstone,
Bright and others who cannot prop
erly>be put into classes. I submit that
the number of modern writer's who
have been fine speakers il very large.
Canning and Disraeli could write and
speak equally well. Macaulay. al
though, as you remark. he memorized
his speeches, was among the great
parliamentary orators of the reform
era. The memorizing. by the way,
was not his fault. He could not help
knowing word for word everything
that he prepared, and he accomplished
the extraordinary feat of writing out
for publication in his last years. when
he was too Ill for original work. the
orations which he had spoken ten or
twenty years earlier.
Coleridge, his admirers thought,
was a marvellous speaker. Dickens
was almost without rival after din
ner. Public speaking was q torment
to Ruskin as to Carlyle. but those who
heard him never forgot the expert
ence. Matthew Arnold was q poor
speaker. Thackeray ON the platform
was pitiful. But let me suggest a
few other examples. Lord Rosebery
is an orator and an accomplished au-
thor. Mr.. Balfour. when he likes. can
write like an angel. and there are
few more deadly debaters.
Lord Morley will live az a writer,
but he has made great speeches. Lord
Curzon writes exactly as he speaks,
and with about equal facility and
force. In their entirely different ways
Lord Haldane and Mr.. Birrell enjoy
the dual faculty. They consider Mr..
Chesterton and Bernard Shaw, Ia GER
tain respects the greatest master of
public speech as of written English
alive today. And not to extend the
list, there is w. B. Yeats. in whom
are combined poetic genius. q fine
command Of prose and gift Of speech
which at Its best is perfect.

and use. The power plant consists
of a small gasoline motor mounted in
a substantial frame which Is carried
on a rubber-tired wheel that serves
as the driver. Above the wheel Is
mounted the gasoline tank. A glance
at the illustration will show that the
device is entirely self-contained and
that 1t is attached quite easily by
means Of clamps to the framework Of
the bicycle, Of which, however, 1t is
quite independent.
