that the temptation to get more mon
ey would not be too great, the employ
er asked his charge practically every
day if he had enough. Each time
Jack assured him that he had and that
more money would get him into more
temptation than it would save him
from.
Jack talked freely with his new
friend of his temptations and of the
skill that he had acquired as lock-
picker and pickpocket and of the in
struction he had received in crook
methods from his fellow prisoners.
The employer knew that the power to
resist temptation could not be devel-
oped without exercise and so he trust
ed the ex-crook as far as he dared.
Little things began to disappear. Jack
talked freely of how natural it was
to suspect him and that it seemed to
be part of CHS rotten luck" that such
occurrences followed him.
There was always a furtiveness a.
bout Jack, but he explained this half
satisfactorily by the statement that
no man could spend years in prison
without acquiring a guilty look. He
was tireless in his work. He did it
we'll and asked for more work and
longer hours. He asked to be kept
so busy that he would have no chance
to meet the crooks about town. One
day, however, the detectives came and
got Jack on charge of having stolen
jewelry from his landlady. Under the
skillful handling of the chief of the
detective bureau, Jack broke down and
confessed. His employer went to see
him in his cell, and in all kindness,
asked him why he had not asked for
more money instead of stealing it.
Jack broke down and cried like baby.
He said that he knew he could have
had the money for the asking, but
that he just could not resist the chance
to take the jewelry when it was so
easy.
The fact is that Jack is no more
responsible for stealing than is mag
pie. Prisons cannot reform him. And
yet under present conceptions of handl
ing criminals, he will spend the major
part of his life in them. He should
be confined but not punished. There
are enough of his kind to require a
new type of Notwithstanding
like self-supporting detention camp
or colony-where expert teachers and
physicians might, perchance. correct
his effectiveness.

FARM REFLECTIONS

When the average man wants
to quit is the time to get inter-
ested In horse production.
Gumption is ability to put the
grease where the squeak is. Are
you onto your job?
Stock raisers should agree as
to what breed best fits their To-
cality, and then stick to that
breed.
Rats In the grain bin are al
most as destructive as bull in
a china shop. A rat-proof gran
airy is a national bulwark these
DAYS. Don't neglect it.
Many county fairs are appar-
emily run in the interest Of the

indicate the rows after setting, 4 to
inches Of the cane should be left. If
a garden patch is being planted, it is
better to cut the canes back to within
a few inches of the leader buds. The
plants should be set Slightly deeper
than they formerly grew. Sometimes
1t is well to set red raspberries as
much as 3 inches deeper than they
grew, In order to protect them from
drought. Black and purple raspber-
ry plants should be set not more than
an inch or two deeper than they for
merly stood, as there is danger of

The Frozen Warning" will be the
very pleasing attraction al the Col
onial this evening.
charlotte is Vassar girl. taking a
course in general salary earning en-
terpTises, among them being wireless
telegraphy. She takes home with her
for the summer vacation number Of
her chums; also a dry, old spinster,
who is a teacher in the school. In
the summer resort home Of her par
ents they are entertained. In an iso-
lated spot in the woods adjacent.
Lieut. Vane, a naval inventor, is COM
pleting subsea gun. This becomes
known to koral, a secret agent OF a
foreign government. Koral cooper
ates with Fredericks, captain OF a sea-
going yacht, TO sieze the gun. Char
lotte discovers the plot and seeks to
warn Vane OF the peril but he laughs
at her. In a skating rink party she
skates the word spies" on the ice be-
fore Vane and then indicates Koral as
the man under suspicion. On the day
following Charlotte sets out on horse
back TO frustate the plan of stealing
the gun, but it is too late; the gun has
been seized. She has heard enough to
know that final signal OF co-opera-
ton Will be sent by Koral from a Sc
cret wireless station in a tree TO Fred
ericks aboard his yacht She deter
mines TO disable Fredericks' wireless
plant. She rides horseback. then com
handlers an automobile and reaches
the yacht only to be foiled by Freder-
icks' drunken secretary, who attempts
10 attack her She leaps into the rig
ging and ascends to the masthead
with the secretary after her. Sudden
ly, she finds the wireless antennae be-
fore her. In the meantime Vane has
returned TO his cabin; finding his gun
gone. He also finds a warning from
Charlotte, urging him TO rush TO the
pier. He-summons a naval officer and
a detachment of sailors and sets off in
an automobile for the pier. Koral
fearing no obstacles, goes more leis-
urely with the stolen gun in his ton
neau. Charlotte cuts the wireless and
just as her drunken assailant is about
to seize her, she leaps from the mast
head into the water Fredericks, re-
ceiving no message, sets off to sea,
knowing because of the failure of Kor-
al to communicate with him, that
something must have gone wrong and
he must clear out.
To learn how this extremely inter
esting story ends, don't fail to see, for
it is really worth while. Good comedy
also.

TEN COMMANDMENTS
OF THE WORLD WAR

The economic and social section of
the League of Patriots, with head
quarters in Paris, Rue Ste. Anne,
has distributed leafiet, urging the
French go endure without complaint
the restrictions imposed upon them in
the interest of their country. The fol-
lowing is a copy:
"Q). Do not forget that we are at
war. In your smallest expenditures
never lose sight of the interests of the
native land.
"(2): Economic on the products
necessary for the life of the country:
coal, bread. meat, milk, sugar, wine,
butter, beans. clothes, leather, oil. Ac-
cept rations Ration yourself as to
food, clothing, amusements.
s"(3),. Save the products of French
soil, lest some day you deprieve your
father, your son. your husband, who
are shedding their blood to defend
you.
"(4). Save the products that France
must buy from foreign countries. Do
not drain reserves of gold, which are
indispensable to victory.
"(5). Waste nothing. All waste is
crime which imperils the national
defense-prolongs the war.
"(6). Buy only according to your
needs. Do not hoard provisions; your
selfishness raises prices and deprieves
those of smaller means of things in
dispensable to existence.
"C7). Do not travel unnecessarily
Reflect that our trains are, before all,
destined for the transportation of the
troops, the feeding of the population,
the needs of our national production.
(S). Do not remain idle. According
to pour age and ability, work for your
country Do not consume without
producing. Idleness is desertion.
"(9). Accept without murmuring the
privations which are imposed upon
you Reflect upon the sufferings OF
those who are fighting for you, upon
the martyrdom of the population
whose hearts have been devastated by
the enemy.
"(10) Remember that victory be
longs to those who can hold out
quarter of an hour the longest.
'That France may live, she must be
victorious"

LAST WORDS OF GREAT MEN
Notable Utteranees That Have Been
Accepted by the World as More
or Less Authentic.

First words Of human beings every.
where are as much alike in their signi-
ficance as are in the essentials of de-
pendence and trustfulness the infants
who stammer them. Last words diff
fer as greatly in purport as do their
utterers In age, experience, environ
ment, intellect and character. OF the
many 'tdying sentences" that have
passed into the category of familiar
quotations ii is. of course, impossible
always to separate the apocryphal
from the real. To attempt such a d.
vision would not be worth the pains;
1t is better TO take on trust the plaus-
ible and the fairly authentic. Some OF
these are the deliberate speeches Of
those in full possession of bodily
strength but about to suffer execution.
Such are Sir Thomas More's adjura-
ton as he faced the scaffold, "See me
safe up-for my coming down 1 can
shift for myself" Sir Walter Raleigh's
reflection on the axe, "'Tis a sharp
remedy but sure one for all ills;"
Madame Roland's 30 Liberty, what
crimes are committed In thy name"
and Nathan Hale's 81 only regret that
I have but one life to give for my coun-
try" Other 'last words" embody a
dying effort at conference or are mere
~ the murmurs of delirium. Two IA
nous farewells are attributed to Rabe-
1ais-"Draw the curtain, the farce is
ended" and ~ am going to seek great
perhaps" Goethe's plea, which the
world has refused to take as spoken
literally, for 'Light! more light" has
a more modern counterpart in Tenny-
sons enigmatic 81 have opened It," per-
haps referring to the volume of
Shakespeare at his side but susceptible
also of esoteric Interpretation.
