parently dying. BY strenuous effort,
her life was saved. The unhappy
woman, now facing a charge of MUIR
der, walls over and over. in her mis-
cry:
IF God would only give yesterday
back to me-"
Many of us have echoed the same
piteous cry. But God never gives yes
terday back. Once the dusk OF even
ing falls the day is gone. with its
good or it's evil, past recall. A page
in life is pasted down, its scroll can
not be erased, even though we might
offer our soul to strike out but one
single line.
The story is a particularly har-
rowing one, yet its moral strikes home
all the more forcefully
Let yesterday be filled with good,
for it is never given back.

There was unique dinner party
at one of the New York hotels the
other evening. Thomas Mott Osborne,
warden of Sing sing penitendary. vas
the guest of honor The hosts were
% ex-conviCts
All OF them had been in Sing SIM
under Warden Osborne's rule. Most
OF them had seen both the old regime
and the new. and understood the d;f-
ferent spirits and methods OF the
warden's work. All of them had made
good since leaving prison.
Maybe the reason they had made
good was that this particular war
den. who is now a storm center Of
penoIogy and politics. had reared
them as men even while they wc-e
convicts. and had given them Jno
self-respect which is the prerequisite
OF all success. AT any rate, they
thought so. And so they were as
sembled at this odd social function
within a few months or a few weeks
Of their liberation. a group of men
weu-dressed. well behaved and Un-
dist1nguishable from any other group
OF decent American citizens. payins
homo 10 a man who had recognized
and developed their innate manhood.
There has been a good deal OF add
verse criticism lately regarding The
prisoners who have escaped from Sing
Sing under Warden Osborne's 'honeT
policy" There isn't enough said about
the convict souls that escape from the
bondage Of contempt through
that same pCIcy

The Emporia (Kas.) Gazette, COM
menting on the fact that the people
of Leavenworth are dissatisfied with
their commission government and are
thinking of returning to their old sys-
TEN, remarks:
We don't blame them. II we
lived in LeaVenwOrth, we too
would be dissatisfied with il. The
commission form of government
has failed in Leavenworth just as
the council form failed, and just
az any other form Of government
will fail in Leavenworth so long
as that city is the kind of a beer
drinking. aw-defying. hide
bound, party-minded town it is.
\ stream cannot rise higher than
it's source, adds the Gazette, and even
a model plan OF municipal govern
ment can't gather grapes from thons
or figs from thistles
It's a characteristic weakness of
Americans TO believe that an abstract
political system is capable of running
itself The commission plan. because
it has worked extremely well in many
cities, has been taken by others as
panacea for municipal ills, adopted
in a spasm of reform and then left
alone 10 run itself. They might as
well expect a mental concept of a
concrete mixer operating in vacant
space TO grind out real concrete.
Good citizens can get better results
out of a bad system than careless
TEN. The commission plan has GER
tain conspicuous advances; but with
or without it, the chief essential is a
spirit of civic responsibility that keeps
citizens on the Job.

was leader among those who have
kept an appreciation OF art, in south
Bend, somewhat alive. lie was one
of two local men with an art reputa-
ton wider than the city, and both OF
them with that reputation perhaps
better known outside the city than
inside OF it-'a prophet is rot with

Ii is good TO have an occasional
man in the community that thinks Of
life in other than monetary terms;
who loves life because he has found
his y, ok, and loves the work Sui
ere the real servants of mankind and
the upbuilders of races. They are
the men who teach the possibilities
OF human mplishments - the
"noblest works of God. greater than
man himself. For after all there is
little TO man save what he does for
man, perhaps not always in the role
of Good Samaritan. but in inspiring
young ambition toward better things,
which is quite as important.
What has made America great IS
her men that have done things; have
originated things Art here has turned
more TO invention and engineering.
than to painting and architecture, Dut
still it is art that has been the max

those who can admire the head, hand
and heart, working in unison. 1t is
in this capacity that Mr.. Ball became,
as well as by his splendid character,
to be much admired here. and it is
rom that capacity that he will be
missed by the public.
He made the most of himself with !
in his sphere and that is a well round
ed out life even though it be cut
short in it's prime.

ON \ DARE.
Mollie'S cheeks were like the rose;
Mollie wore her brothers hose,
Calmly walked along Broadway
Where the sporting zephyrs play.
Suddenly those zephyrs blew
Wantonly they skilled and flew!
Mollie? What did Mollie do?
Mollie calmly went her way,
Let those brazen breeZes play
Mollie wore a thick, thick veil;
Behind it she was very pale
Mollie wore them on a dare,
Won the wager fair and square.
But how the Willie-bOys did starei
Noble won twelve pairs of hose,
Long and silken, just like those
All the modest girlies wear
Won them on her brothers dare.
Mollie blushing like a rose
Said she never would suppose
She'd feel so undressed in half-hOse.
