I extend the clemency only a month at
time. At the end OF each month you
must bring me report Of your work,
a record in detail and will extend
the clemency another month. IF you
fail to appear or send satisfactory
reason why, an officer will be after
you within twenty-four hours. 1t Is
the best way can think Of helping
you, Jack, Billy Bobs way, with the
thirty years hardening that must be
broken through. have faith that
four years Of such philanthropic work
will not be without result. After the
money is all gone, every dollar, come
to me and will give you steady en-
ployment at G living salary. You used
to be exceptionally good at figures in
school, and had quick mind. All you
need Is to get the mind to working
along in straight line. Jack Now
you may go and draw the first $1,000
to be ready to commence work"
He nodded to an officer, who led the
scowling, half.dazed prisoner to the
door OF the courtroom, and to another
FOR the next case to be brought In.

SALE ON
S|Lv|s C0NCE ERT
GOES TOP SPEED
Indications Point to Packed House;
Shopmen Managers Say viii Be
Forced Charge Children
Full Price.

Liberal sale OF tickets to the en-
tertainment was reported today by
those in charge of arrangements for
thethe Silvis Shops glee club which
is booked to render recital Thurs
day evening in the Sugg theatre.
Full admission will be charged
children occupying seats, this being
necessary, according to announce
ment made today, because of the
large advance sale of tickets. The
written announcement from the local
Rock Island shopmen who are in
charge Of arrangements follows:
present indications lead us to
believe that tle crowd at the Sugg
theatre on Thursday night will cause
a premium to be placed on standing
room before the curtain is raised
in honor of the Sweet Singers OF
Silvis.'
1--WE are compelled to announce
that full admission will be charged
children occupying seats, this being
necessary because of the large ad-
vance sale of tickets, especially for
seats on the main floor. We regret
that we cannot give the kiddies a
free seat at this time, but we feel
it would be embarrassing to have
our adult patrons standing during
the entertainment after purchasing
tickets several weeks in advance.
1--WE, the Rock Island employees,
appreciate the substantial manner in
which the business men of our city
have assisted us in bringing our
brother workers from the state OF
Illinois to entertain us.
I'VE request that you make a
special effort to see that the seats
are occupied and that every ticket
you have purchased is used. A
packed house from the orchestra
line to the rack row of the gallery
is our desire. Please see to it that
we are not disappointed. BE there
early. Enjoy the moving picture
which precedes the concert.
"On account Of the engagement
conflicting with the regular church
choir rehearsals, and in anticipation
that many members of these choirs
will desire to hear this recital, we
wish to announce that an effort will
be made to reserve seats until cur
tain time, which we presume will be
about 1915 o'clock"
