Now, under a new regulation pro-

On voyages, when necessary the

deadened, starts life anew with a a
full burden, which could have been
materially lightened under a. more
humane system.
In this connection, I want to call at
tention to a matter that Is nothing
short Of a crime greater than some OF
the released prisoners have committed
and that is the matter Of bounding
down released convicts by always re-
minding anyone to whom they might
apply for work that they are ox-con-
victs. There ought to be a national
law passed and enforced to prevent
this great evil. In other words, the
poor fellow should be helped to rise
and do better, instead Of being held
down, with so-called detectives, hire
lings, running around trying to get
people to perjure themselves in order
to work up new cases against men
who have expiated their crimes by
the time they have spent in prison.
I only inject these Views into this
article in order to give to your read
ers some insight into what influences
prompted me in my actions Of ex-
ecutive clemency.
I am glad to note that the parole
system lie growing rapidly: that the
barbarous ideas of punishment are
being wiped out, and that more hu-
name views Of imprisonment are
rapidly taking hold throughout the
country. God speed the day when ev-
cry chief executive in our great nation
shall execute the laws faithfully, "in
mercy" Cole L. Blease.

Yankee Ingenuity Won.-To illus
trate Yankee persistency, relates the
Pathfinder, ]. Pierpont Morgan used
to tell the following story:
"A New England Yankee who was
a prisoner on a pirate ship in the good
old days when pirates roamed the seas
became because Of his Yankee attri-
butes, Objectionable to his captors.
1T was finally decided to maroon
him on a desert island, with but little
food and a coffin to remind him Of his
inevitable fate. The island was found
and the New Highlander and coffin
were left alone on the beach while the
pirate ship sailed away.
For several days she sailed and
then became becalmed. For three days
she lay there with not a breath OF air
On the evening Of the third day a black
speck was noticed on the horizon. 1t
steadily grew larger, and soon was
close enough for the men on the ship
to make out what it was"
The man of millions paused for an
instant and then said smilingly:
1T was the Yankee in his coffin
with half Of the lid in either hand
rowing for home"

An Unprotected Fenee-The Hon
Joseph Sibley, who was n Of Penn
sylvania's richest men, and who has
the proud record Of being elected to
one United States congress as a DEM
ocrat and to the succeeding congress
as a Republican, has a fine, big sum-
mer palace up on Lake Champlain,
says Grit.
He delights to take representatives
up to his house and entertain them.
One summer, John Sharp Williams was
in a party. Williams had a fine time.
That winter, when things were dull
in the house, Williams wrote a tender
little ballad. describing a love-sick
couple who sat on the fence and
spooned at the moon, while the silvery
waters Of Champlain beat with fairy
fingers on the shimmering shore-or
words to that effect.
He took it over to Sibley. See
here, joe" he said, I've written a
fine poem about your place up on
Lake Champlain. Read It,"
Sibley read it and handed it back
without comment.
What do you think Of it," asked
the poet.
"Rotten!" said Sibley.
why SOP" hared Williams. Its a
good poem, and that's a fine touch
about those people sitting on the

CHAPTER III.

Sans mother would not agree to
let him do the blasting Of the stumps.
| he feared. and with much reason,
that because Of his inexperience in
handling dynamite he might blow up
himself. So Sam had agreed, though
he didn't like the idea Of paying 50
for work that he could do himself.
A man named Nolan had been hired
to do the work. and he had come out
| Saturday afternoon to make a begin
| ming. Sam was anxious to learn about
| the work so that in the future there'd
be no need to hire some n else to do
it. He drove across the field, hitched
| his horse at a safe distance and went
over to watch the proceedings.
Sans companions, who had also
heard the first report, came up to look
| ON 1t was interesting to watch No
Ian deity place his blasts so that they
| always brought up the stumps. Some
times they popped up in the air like a
"ork out of a bottle; at other times
they split into pieces and went hur-
ling through the air. Under the larg-
est stump in the field Nolan put a
double charge of dynamite.
Better get clear" he said to the
boys when he was about ready to
touch it off. They all backed away
to a distance of thirty or forty yards
and waited. He lighted the fuse and
ran over to where they were standing.
Get down." he said, behind some
thing or on the ground"
All except Joe Watson promptly
| dropped down flat behind a little
ridge.
There isn't any danger this far
| off," he said and remained standing.
Get down, you dummy; it's going
off," said Sam sharply. and as Joe
made no move he grabbed him around
the ankles and gave a jerk. The boy
came down with a thud, and at the
same instant there was a roar. Some
| thing sang over them like a bullet and
exactly in the path where Joe had
stood a moment before.
We'll, you may thank your lucky
| stars Nolan remarked to Joe as he
got up, that Sam pulled you down.
You see that big piece Of stump layin'
away out yonder? That's what whis-
tied over here. and if you'd "a been
standin' it would "a broke you in
two"
Joe was pale from fright at his nar-
row escape. My" he exclaimed. but
| W you a big debt, Sam! You a v
ed me then, and I don't think I'll ever
act the fool like that again."
1t was now the middle of the after
noon. and as the boys wanted to re-
urn home early for one reason or an
| other Sam stopped work for the day
and they all drove home at a brisk
trot.
On the next Monday Sam was pres

gan was also there and Joined. though

Rough on Tommy.-The mails from
home had just been received by a
certain regiment. says London Tit
Bits. Not only were there letters, but
many parcels from relatives and
friends at home for lucky soldiers. One
Of the Tommies received a large box
addressed to himself, and with a
triumphant yell he rushed off to his
company's lines and gathered them
around to share in the eagerly antici-
pated contents Of this box.
Smokes, lads!" he cried as he un-
did the wrapping. From the old man;

He opened the box. gave one look at
the contents and collapsed in a heap.

Wasted Time.-Little Bobby's father
was a doctor, and Bobby liked nothing
better than to take his fathers case In
one hand, his overcoat in the other,
and go down the street for a block or
two to some imaginary patient, says
the New York American. One winters
day when he started out he forgot to
close the door.
Bobby" called mothers voice
sweetly, please shut the door" But
Bobby was in a hurry and went on.
Robert" came the fathers sterner
voice, close the door"
Bobby returned and closed the door
Some time later he came in quietly
put I'D the case and Overcoat, and
started upstairs.
Bobby" said mother, overwhelmingly

Quite True.-The vicar Of a mining
town sent a pair of boots to the cob
bler's for repairs, but William had
no inclination for work, so the boots
were not touched that day. Next
morning his nerves were rather shaky
and he longed for "a hair of the dog
that bit him." His W boots were
rather dirty, so he thought there was
no harm in putting on the parsons,
which he accordingly did, and turned
off into the village for a big 'reviver.'
He had not gone very far when whom
did he meet but the vicar. h said:

William. Are you finished with them

Some Of tho Optimistic.

There are those who are predicting
now that with the exception Of wheat,
cotton Is likely t o profit more with
developments growing out OF the wal
than any other commodity.
It has only been a little while since
the calamity Of the war, so far as
this country Ia concerned, was deemed
to be its effect on the chief industry
of the south-cotton growing. In the
early part Of December, last, cotton
was going begging at six cents a
pound. With deep emotion from the
passionate south, "Buy-a-Bable-of-
Cotton" resounded through the land.
Since then cotton has advanced 200
points, and there are forecasts that 1t
will show a wider margin above the
cost Of production. Claims that there
will be a growing and extraordinary
demand for cotton Is based on calcu-
lations Of the heavy consumption OF
clothing by the armies Of the European
war-that to a large extent cotton will
be called upon to take the place OF
wool, owing to the inadequacy Of the
worlds supply Of wool to meet the
needs Of the soldiers in the field.
There are 10000 900 men on the fir
ing line now, 1t has been estimated.
Soldiers at the front wear out a uni
form a month. On this basis, a sta
tistician has figured out that the men
in the European army will wear out
more clothes in one years fighting
than they would in times Of peace In
sixty years. 1t would take 400, 000, 000
more sheep than there are in the world
to meet such a demand, 1t is estimated
Only one substitute-cotton. the
cotton advocates assert.
There Is no theory at least, In the
consumption Of clothing. BY a recent
ruling Of the British army medical
corps, each soldier on the firing line is
to receive a complete new outfit OF
clothing each month. Even where the
old outfit is not worn out, 1t is to be
burned for sanitary reasons. 1nfor-
nation from Germany is that the hard
usage wears out their uniforms In a
month.-New York Commercial.

The boys all laughed and said that
they were thinking the same thing.
Sam wouldn't hear to his chums
working in the afternoon. He thought
that they had already done enough, SO
they stayed to gather walnuts and ex-
plore the creek, while Sam went OF
TO haul ashes and scatter them on the
acre that was to be his prize patch
Of corn.
Miles Pagan happened to pass along
while Sam was at work and leaned
over the fence to watch him for a
minute.
Whats that you're putin on the
land, SAM" he asked, after he had
watched the boy for some time.
Ashes Sam replied. and went on
%shoveling.
Ashes" Mr.. Pagan questioned.
DO you think it'll do any good?"
"Of course 1 do" Sam answered.
| Most anything would do this land
good. But didn't you know. Mr.. Fa-
| gan, that ashes are a fine fertilizer?'
NO, 1 didn't" he said, land I don't
yet"
well, they are, anyhow" Sam as
| sured him. 1.-TWO things that crops
have to have are potash and phos-
phoric acid. A government bulletin
that I borrowed says there are about
| eight pounds Of potash and one-third
as much phosphoric acid in every
hundred pounds of good ashes"
well, 1 didn't know they was good
for anything" said Pagan. except to
get I've from to make SOAP"
Sam wasn't proud and didn't think
that he knew so much more than 9TH
| ers, but he liked to be of help when
ever he could.
why don't you send to the depart
ment Of agriculture, Mr.. Fagan,' he
asked, "and get some Of the bulletins
it publishes? We pay for that work,
and why not make use Of it? They
| experiment and learn a whole lot of
| things that we ought to know. I've
written for several Of the bulletins"
II don't want anything to do with
such foolishness." said Pagan. What
| do they know about farmin'?"
They know a lot" Sam replied.
and they're learning more every day
It's their business to experiment and
find out things. You might waste two
or three years experimenting to find
out something that you could learn in
| Ave minutes by reading a government
bulletin"
Miles Pagan merely grunted in re-
ply.
II wish you'd let Bob join the Boys
Corn club" Sam continued. There's
a chance for him to win a big prize,
and, besides, it'll teach him how to
grow corn"
Guess I can teach my boy how to
grow corn bout as we'll as anybody"
said Miles. But Bob and that agent
have been a-pestering me to death
bout it, and I told Bob yesterday that
he could jine If he'd use some O. that
