players on the two opposing teams
in Chester penitentiary, and their
games are fast and clean.
After half hour of such sport
gong rings and the prisoners file in
to the dining room. On their way
they are joined by another squad,
coming from their cells. The lat
ter are prisoners who work on the
farm and have outdoor employment
for their recreation. The others
work In the shops and the half hour
vigorous play in the morning IS
necessary to keep them In good
health. to put the tan in their cheeks
and drive away the prison ballor-
that deadly mark seen in most penal
institutions.
Through these exercises and the
general healthy condition OF the
men, the death rate, especially that
from tuberculosis. Is reduced to
minimum. The quarry and farm
hands get all the outdoor exercise
needed without participating in the
daily ball game.

The penitentiay,

The penitentiary!
The mere mention of this word
brings to the minds of men and
women the thought of big place
with gray walls. guards mounted
above the prison with riot guns, sub
dued, covering criminals, wearing
stripes, the pallor of prison stamped
ON their faces and the hollow cough
of consumption telling clearly the
approach OF the dreaded end.
That is what the penitentiary used
to be.
But today, with humane men in
charge of most Of the prisons
throughout the United States. things
have changed bit. The old theory
chat punishment reformed has been
abandoned In most prisons, and
kindness has been substituted as the
best way OF bringing man back to
the realization of the duties to so
ciety and the shortcomings that led
him behind the bars.
From the time Warden McLaugh-
~ In charge of the Federal prison
ut Leayenwortt, Kans., started his
reforms. other wardens have sought
TO either emulate him or surpass
him in kindness to their prisoners.
One warden. at least. has sur
passed McLaughry and he ts war
den w. v. Choisser of the Southern
Illinois penitentiary at Chester, Ill.
Choisser has succeeded in making
his prison into q place where pr1s-
oners are glad to stay. and his great
est achievement Is thistle prison
pallor has passed from the faces OF
the convicts and has been succeeded
by the ruddy Drowned cheeks OF
good health.
REFRIGERATION
THROUGH BASEBALL.
How did Warden Choisser do it?
Why by baseball, of course. He
bought bats and balls for his prts-
oners and each morning before go
ing to work in the shops they play
several innings and get in perfect
trim for their hard tasks.
In the Southern Illinois peniten-
tiary there is no dragging and shut
ming of feet, men with shaved heads
wearing stripes or men with sag
Ting shoulders, and the haunted look
of beasts. Instead there Is great
aggregation OF strong. healthy.
bronzed men who forget there is an
outer world in the absorption of
their daily pleasures and their
daily work.
A man in coIlege-in Annapolis or
West Point. for instance-has great
er restrictions placed upon him than
have the prisoners in this prison In
Illinois.

In the morning, Just as the sun
rises over the big hill that shelters
the prison. $50 men march forth
from their cells to the big parade
ground. They form in squads of
four and the morning military drill
is started under direction of pris-
oners who have seen service In the
United States army. The men go
through the setting up exercises OF
the regular army, varied with out
door calisthenics of the most Wig
orous sort. Everybody is grinning
and perspiring after fifteen minutes
of this work that takes away the
stiffness after night on hard cot
in a cell.
AS the drill is finished other con-
yicts walk forth with baseball bats,
gloves and .smasks. The Laundry
Giants" then start their morning
game. For thirty minutes these
men forget everything in the excite
ment of the great American pastime.
Convicts and guards gather on the
base lines to root for their favorites.
No more excitement could be evil
denced were it game for the
championship of one of the big
leagues.
GUARDS FORGET
GUNS.
The only sting that remains to tell
that this place of shouting and hap
by men is a prison. is the guard far
above on the gray walls, his riot
gun at rest and his interest CEN
tered not in keeping those men prts-
oners, but in watching his favorite
team score.
Crime and punishment are forgot
ten in the intense excitement of the
game. The long-legged youth pitch
ing for the Giants" forgets for the
time he is serving a life sentence
there for numbering his chum, while
the little grey-eyed man on first base
is obliyious to the fact he has sew
en- more of ten-year sentence for
burglary to serve. The man play
ing short-stop was considered one
of the most clever OF "peter-men.

language OF yegg-men and police.
before his sentence of seven years
in prison. But his record as Grim
inal now is forgotten in his record
as a clever infielder. In fact. that
man and many others of his kind
standing about In that prison yard
would rather have positions on that
baseball team than return to the
outer world to a possible life OF
crime.

with some new ideas and put them
into practice In most effective
way.

HAVE THEIR
SWEETS.
1t may seem a peculiar principle
of psychology, but sweets have the
eject of keeping men in confinement
in a cheerful mood. This is noticed
in all penal institutions and a prise
ner can undergo no greater punish
ment than to have his supply OF mo-
lasses curtailed. Where prisoners
are not furnished with plenty of
suRary substances they developed a
craving for drugs and alcohol and
such q craving means trouble.
