A Miner S
Love Story
By DWIGHT NORWOOD

Jim, tell us a story
Jim was gold miner on Clear creek
Colorado, a good many years ago. He
was one of a party of miners who
were sitting out under the blue heav-
ems after supper smoking their pipes
and trying to get rid of the time which
hung heavy on their hands when they
were not at work. The literature ot
uneducated persons, be they sailors
soldiers or laborers, is yarns, and the
man who can supply them is the best
fellow.
Il don't mind said Jim, taking his
pipe out of his mouth, ''givin' you a
story, but | feel kind O. backward
about 1t, SEEM Pm the hero of it, and
there's a heroine"
We'll, now, we like that said one
of the party. Boys, we're goin to get
love story out O. Jim, and he's to be-
the lover"
Jim put his pipe back into his mouth
and said nothing more. 1t was evi
dent that he had been scared off. But

AVIATOR GILBERT IS
CHAMPION OF FRANCE
Three Times He Has Defeated
German DirigibIeS.

Partisan official report of recent
aerial fighting given out by the French
war office relates the exploits of NJ
Gilbert, the famous aviator. Gilbert
gained fame in 1911 by fighting an
eagle in the air when taking part in
the Paris Madrid race, in which he fin
ished second. He also has held the
records for altitude and long distance
flying. The account says:
pilot Gilbert, with Lieutenant de
Puechredon as observer, was returning
from a reconnaissance near Chaulnes
on Jan. 10 when they caught sight of
German machine flying toward
Amiens. They gave chase without be-
ing noticed.
mot far from Amiens they overlook
the German machine and cut across its
path. The French observer fired four
shots from his rifle, two of which hit
the German observer, Lieutenant Fal-
kenstein mot Lieutenant Won Falken-
hayn, son of the German chief of staff.
as previously reported).
'The third bullet wounded the Ger
man pilot. Miller, in the neck. and the
fourth pierced the radiator The
wounded pilot went to the ground i'm
mediately and was taken prisoner
This is the third time Sergeant Gil
bert, who already has received the mil
itary medal, has brought down hos
tile machine"
German aeroplanes are said to be
distributing the following manifesto
on the Russian lines:
God has abandoned your standard
The bloody sacrifices you have made
are useless. Hundreds of thousands of
your best and most valiant troops have
fallen ON the battlefield
"Now a new enemy more powerful
and dangerous has declared war on
your czar. Islam has declared a holy
war against you and your allies. You
have lost the game. Four hundred
million men devoted to the law Of Mo
manned today reply to the call for q
holy war.
Friends, demand peace while there
is yet time"

1.-The true Christian woman who is
der husbands companion and help
mate and her children's loving, con-
scientious mother, she's about the

''The modern girl and woman need
to get right with Cod" said the Rev.
Billy Sunday soberly. "God is outside
the lives of too many girls of today.
Their attitude toward religion is that
they should worry-and they should
too, in the way that they don't mean
Let them get wise to themselves-and
get right with God"

have shown that they appreciate being
treated with common sense, which
means that they are being treated as
human beings. They are allowed to
do their work without constant sur

get every day an hour of recreation
and complete freedom In the yard and
are permitted to talk to one another
without using the grunt language, a
device resorted to by prisoners to
speak to one another when the guards
were near.
Now, l want to show you that the
men appreciate that sort of treatment"
Mr.. Osborne pulled two 81 bills and a
silver half dollar from his pocket.
"You see that?" he asked. well, we
had 40 members of the Brooklyn Civic
club at the prison, and one prisoner
was assigned to every two visitors to
show them about the place. l told the
visitors not to give the prisoners any
money, as 1t is against the law. Well,
here is $3.50 which the visitors slipped
to the guides and which was handed
back to me by the prisoners them
selves. At least twelve prisoners that

offered to them. One prisoner said.

month as in the previous month. The
same increase holds in the other shops.
You see, when the officers were con-
stantly on hand watching the men the
prisoners were watching them. and
they were keen enough to know ten
minures ahead OF time just what those
guards were going to do. They have
the schoolboy love OF bucking the
teacher. and when you removed the
guard you did away with the incen.

Warden of COuntry's Largest

New York-When wealthy phi

Sing prison, the largest Jail in the
world, and given a free rein to insti-
tute reforms which would better the
standard Of convicts, the nation watch
ed closely, for it realized that another
step in prison reform was about to be
made.
Thomas Mott Osborne, long a student
of modern jails, was particularly well
fitted for the place He himself had
served q term in prison as an expert
ment For about a month he lived the
life of a convict, worked with them,
ate with them and slept In cell sim
ply in order to gain an insight into the
real conditions. And after several
months experiment he says:
1.-THE prisoners are being treated like
human beings. We have got rid of
brutality because we realize that the
prisoners are men, weak In spots per-
haps, but we don't know what we
would have done If we had been In
their place
"The prisoners court, conducted by
the prisoners themselves. does not send
men to the dark cells, but suspends
them from the League or Golden Rule
Brotherhood for any disobedience. l
