Books in Prison.

Prison literature has many fine pro-
ductions to its credit in prose as well
as poetry. In his prison at Athens,
Socrates completed his great argument
for Immortality; in a Roman dungeon
Galileo made some of his greatest dis
coveries. In his prison in Wartburg
castle Luther translated the New Test
ament into the German language. Dur
ing his twelve years in Bedford Jail
Bunyan dreamed his immortal dream
of the "Pilgrim's Progress" Sir Wal
ter Raleigh wrote the agmentary
history of the world to beguile the long
years of his Imprisonment in the
Tower of London. Much of, the New
Testament also Is prison literature.
Some of the finest of the epistles Of
st. Paul were written during his i'm
prisonment at Rome, and the Book Of
the Revelation of st. John was writ
ten while he was an exile on the island

Amounts to SITS

Governor Pinkham's contingent

small change that famous $4,000
provided by the 1915 Legislature
breathed its last Monday when
$3.50 went to help Sheriff 'Bill" jar
rett's penitentiary out Of a financial
hole into which 1t had been dragged
by an unforeseen rise in prices.
The governor smiled grimly yes
terday afternoon as he announced the
fact thumbing over care-worn look
ing bill for SIS from an automobile
stand.
'aThis is for an automobile used
during the visit of the Japanese
squadron" he said. THE governors
car wasn't in shape for a call that
came and a hired car was brought
into use instead.
"The recent legislature wanted a

Just been done at an expense OF SITS.
There were q few little things that
I hoped to help out the guard WITH
but these hopes have gone a-glimmer
ing. When / do one or two things

1t will be remembered that the 1917
legislature refused to give a contin
gent fund to the governor.
He was asked this morning what
he intends to do with these bills that
are beginning to filter in from time
to time, and for which a contingent
fund is about the only soothing
balm.
What can do?" he asked. Most
likely l shall sit right still and let the
legislature two years from now ap
propriate the money to pay for them"

The students are first acquainted
with the agricultural institutions OF

Much attention is also paid to chic

are to be raised in gardens.
Alfalfa is considered one Of the
most desirable crops that can be
raised and special attention is paid
to its production.

THE EAR Is an important yet much
neglected part of q woman's ap-
pearance. Some seasons back,
when the hair was worn way down
over the face, the shape and color
Of the ear didn't matter, as it was
hidden. But last year and this, the
hair is brushed smoothly back, to
show at least half Of it. And the
ear plays q surprisingly important
part in making up the appearance
Of the face.
Small ears are the most beauti-
full; of course, they should be q
rose pink in color, and should
taper daintily down into the lobe.
The outer edge should be shaped
somewhat like q question mark,
the lobe being the dot. They say
that round ears with no clearly-de-
fined lobe show q certain amount
Of degeneracy in the nature, but
there are almost as many excep-
lions to this rule as there are ex-
amples.
