1t is to the best interests of society
to have the released convict" to
become decent law abiding citi-
zen, yet society by it's own attitude
forces large number back to life
OF crime. And of those thus return
ed to prison it is the ones weak in
will power who form the majority.
For the purpose of helping those
weaklings there have be established,
in varions parts of the country,
homes for discharged prisoners,
which are manly supported by
charitable organizations.
To the former prisoner without
friends, knowing his own fail
ings and short comings, this is a
veritable place of refuge. lie is
here given place to stay while he
gradually gets in touch with free
dom and what it stands for. He is
put to work and gets paid for it and
is thus given an opportunity to gain
his self respect. Being under some
supervision until he leaves the
home. the former prisoner is daily
gaining will power enough to re-
sist evil influences and when he
leaves, he has the feeling that he
can stand on his own feet without
aid.
There is no doubt that these
homes are doing good in their limit
ed spheres and as snch. and should
not be dependent on charity, but
should be supported by society as
whole. Money spent in keeping
people out of prison is money well
spent.

When my pipe goes out,

Come to my solace myriad sights,
When l am out beside.
Scenes of the city where 1 was born
Where the Cedar Winds
And the prairies roll,
Where from eve to eve and from morn to morn
The old mill grinds
Out the harvest toll,
And the greenhouse stands beside.
Of the happy hollow on River Street,
Where the kids all coast
In the wint'ry dusk
Down Pettit's hill, and the foundry greets
The coming night with lurid sheets
Of flame from the old stone chimney; meets
Youths fearless boast
With its great gaunt husk,
Like mammoth ghost
With one fiery tusk,
And scares them in betide
Of the boat-house down by the old South Bridge
Where Sim rents his boats,
And lends his boats;
Where cherries grow on the opposite ridge,
And the pop-works stands beside.
And the by-way of the pasture lands
Where the air is rank
From the oil tank
To where there the cabin in Lafayette stands
Of moss-logs dank
From the river bank;
And truck-patch grows beside.

Its staunch old oaks,
And cottonwood
With quiet beauty that nigh o'erwhems

And the picture shop.
And the music shop
Where all the stores begin to flock

On your consciousness
Till you have to stop
And price dress,
Or patent mop;
And the courthouse looms beside
There's the old drug store on the corner site
Between bank
And candy store,

Against the rank
