its origin in the Lodge Of Pierre, an
organization financed by fifty families
to the extent of $50 each. A rustic
building was erected out in the Black
Hills. Ii was fitted with plumbing and

$1,000, including its furnishings. Tents

provided for families who desired TO

wHERE JUSTICE SERVES

As illustrating wherein justice may sometimes supersede the law in the correction of cruel injustice and at the same time to the bene- fit of society, says the Portland Telegram, we have q story from Illinois that Is more than usual in Uerest.
 It appears that somewhere about ten years ago, a man confined in the state reformatory at Pontiac escap- cd from that institution. He was clever and resourcerul beyond the ordinary and managed to bnffle all efforts toward Eecapture By acci- dent he was discovered only a short time since and sent back to the prison at Pontiac. The history of lis nine years Of freedom has won him the recommendation of pardon from the governor of Illinois.
 This man used his freedom to good and honorable effect. He es- rablished himself in a thriving H. linois city, worked for wages for time, saved his money and finally engaged in a small cleaning and dye ing business. At that venture he made good, and rapidly. He be yome one of the best kHown and most dependable business men in the community in which he lived. He married, provided a beautiful nome for his wife, and ct the time of his rearrest the family consisted ct himself and wife and two beauti- ful daughters. That is what this man did in the line of social duty IS an earnest Of his right to be free.
 Upon rearrest there was a peti- lion filed for his release. and upon that the governor has acted favor ably. In his recommendation the

governor said: "In the interests or justice to this man and his family, in my judgment, he should be re- leased and permitted to continue to support his wife and children hon estly and manfully, and not lose the business interests which his thrift aud right living have won for him.
 While we applaud the sentiment expressed by the governor, there is the suggestion of the bromidic about 1t. Whatever that mans offense was h the first instance, the greater of fense was committed by society, in the name of the law, when he was taken back to the reformatory at Pontiac.
 So far as practical results were to be considered there could be no pos sible purpose in that mans rearrest and reIncarceration other than to graufy the spirit of vindictiYeRess that turks too largely within the law. Reform was not to be thought cf, for reform was already affected No penal institution could ever hope to do for that man any more than he already had done for himself. The action of the law in laying it's hand upon him was cruelty inconsid- srate. It spelled disgrace, misery and possible ruin for four human beings, with absolutely no showing of possible benefit to any person on earth. It was a stupid disregard Of that which was just and best, merely that the mandate of the law should De fulfilled to the letter.
 l. is wrong, of course, for prison CTS to escape from the places of their confinement; but when by their subsequent records they have been shown to have earned their right to freedom, there should be some possible adjustment by which the operation of the law would be in conformity with intelligence and justice.

Danfelson, March 18.-The vote of the house at Hartford Thursday, con- curing with the senate in passing the bill providing an amendment to the charter of the Brooklyn Savings bank, means that the bank will be located in Danielson within a short time.

The bank moved from Brooklyn Center, where it has been located since 1872. to East Brooklyn in October, 1913, and at that time that action was taken as indicating that the bank would eventually be transferred to the Killingly side of Danielson.
