CONVICTS STAGE
CREDITABLE PLAY !
AT P~ENITENTIARY

Bismarck N. D., May 5.-An orig
inal play, 1"Out on Parole" said by
those who witnessed it's production by
convicts at the .~penitentiary, vas a
feature Of the closing exercises at the
state INSTITUTION last week for the
seven months term Of night school.
The play was. written by a convict
who is in prison on a %statutary
charge. 1t depicted the handicaps
which confront the man with the pri-.
son brand. on him when he goes back.
into civil life and it taught a moral
by proving that the man who is loyal
to his employer and really. desires to
make good will win out. All Of the
actors we're convicts.. and they desir-
ed and executed their~own costumes
and stage settings. There were other
stunts of a~.vaudeville nature, and the
entire program was so good that Sec
rotary Mason expresses regret that it's
production must be confined to a linn
tied audience behind prison walls.
The night school, which has done
much for the men, was in charge Of
A. NJ. Knight, who is a convict.

Eats Better, Sleeps Better,

Taking Tanlac.

The best evidence Of the merits of a

actually taken it have to; say about it,
and this is true and beyond all cues

HBefore I had finished my first bot

stomach trouble and had not been
able to eat much Of anything in y
My appetite was very poor and most
always had to force down what little
l did eat. Usually after eating-no
matter how light my food-tI would
bloat all up with our gas n feel
miserable for hours. Sometimes the
gas pressure was SO greAt through my
chest an around by heart that 1t was
dificult for me. to get my breath. I
often had headaches and felt so badly
at times that it was torture for me to
do my work, and some days I just felt
like giving up the night. I had be-
come very nervous and would wake
nj about three o'clock at night, lay
awake until morning and get up feel
ing worse than when went to bed.
II had tried a number Of other
medicines and sometimes felt 2 little
then I would feel worse than ever.
So I have often wondered II there
vas nothing made that would do me
any real good. One day I read a
Tanlac testimonial, describing q case
very similar to mine. and right then
and there I made up my mind to zee
what the medicine would do for me.

"You talk very strange for one

the King"
jerry did not know that Tinker
Bob stood nearby and heard every
word that he said. The King was
wise and had guessed where Mr..
Ground Hog would go to make his
home.
'Now, Mr.. Jay, that will do for
you this time. Mr.. Ground Hog
came to see me before you even
knew he was in the forest" said Tin

Jerry the Jay Bird and Mr.. Ground
Hog both looked surprised to see Tin
ker Bob standing before them.
1T would be better Jerry for you,"
continued Tinker Bob, "if you would
always tell the truth; then when some
one happened along and overheard
what you said they would be happy
because they had found an honest
creature"
Jerry's tail feathers dropped and
Mr.. Ground Hog noticed that the
rebuke of the King made him feel
bad. To be happy, we should be
worthy of kind words rather than
a rebuke.
