It may be said that every man
in prison embraces in his per
son q volume Of biography in
which the tragedy Of life is writ
ten in agony and tears. In the
humblest among them there is in
his life's story and his failure
to overcome the odds against him
a dramatic element that makes
him a study well worth while
to any one who loves his fellow
man and wonders why he hap
pened to be marked by the fates
to have his life-the most pre-
cious thing Of all he possesses
wasted in q prison den.

anecdote related by one Of the con-

"if we had ham we would have

But speaking seriously. I was
never more free in my life. so far
as my spirit was concerned. than
I was In that prison cell. There
was never q harsh or an unkind
word spoken In that little commu-
nifty. When the lights were switch
ed Off at 10 o'clock. and we had to
retire, whether we felt like sleeping
or not, we bade each other good
night Just as though we had been
intimates all Of our lives.

In our cell in the great Federal
penitentiary, from which the world

all save those In solitary confine-

For some reason the conces-

that interval. 49,.

rules forbade any communication
with them by sign or otherwise.
All Of the prisoners in isolation
were interested in me and would
watch for me to pass their grated
windows.
One day one Of them called me
by name and waved his hand In
friendly recognition. waved my
hand in return.
There and then I committed q
grave offense against the prison
code and was myself due for q
