The story of the two fedora
prisoners, who escaped the vigilance
of the federal prison, near Atlanta
and then captured and the second
esca<-a of one of them from an Ath
ems hospital, would rival some oil
the most thrilling recitals in Victor
Hugo's lie Miserables." If this mar

year sentence, he may certainly bic

the rest of his life. If he is not re-

slider, who looks upon a prison cell
as something only to be compared
to slow-living, death. There may be
worse things. but my mind does not
understand them, and if there is a
big reward offered, somehow, some
where and sometimes the reward
will be called for. The cupidity of
sleuths will egg on the pursuit, and
hunted animal will be made out
of desperate human being until

There is a verse in the Bible, BE
Sure Your Sin VIII Find You Out"
: 1t is a tense statement, laden with
truth. 1t will come out, and surely
the sinner will come out with it. The
transgressor will have one of two
things facing him, namely, to kill
himself and get what is stored up
for him in eternal retribution or
Inger in the torment of remorse
until he dies from disease or with
maddered brain, and with only a
prison number for a name on his
burial spot.
Some one has been sending me
a leaflet from this federal prison
for more than, two years, issued
monthly and evidently gotten up by
the regular and well educated in
mates. 1t is we'll worth attention
and it appeals to me somewhat as
the face of Charlotte Corday, in the
Corcoran art gallery in Washing
ton city. Charlotte understood she
would be executed, because she had
killed the tyrant, but she would die
as patriot. The voices from the
federal prison, set forth in it's
monthly reviews are only in expia-
ton of offended law, and the final
verdict of outraged justice, from
those who are bound and must
obey.
We read of innocent prisoners,
who have been cruelty wronged,
those who are victims of con-
spiracy and perjury and violently
before the world of society
when they did not deserve
the punishment. To such, the
tyrant of the situation must be
infuriating. Unless there is extend
ed to such sufferers the comfort of
Divine pity and consolation, those
prison cells are the places of tor
ture, of suffering with no relief to
wounded spirits and bitter like gall
and worm-wood, because of Mans
inhumanity to man."
A judge who has made such fatal
error should share the suffering of
the victim, and if I was judge, to
condemn human beings to those he'll
lish prison cells, I believe I would
be ready to forsake the calling.
Four Hundred Danes, Swedes and
NOrweigians
A big liner entered the harbor of
New York city last Tuesday. OF the
six hundred in the steerage, four
hundred were Scandinavians, and
they brought with them one thou
sand dollars a piece, in letters Of
credit. Count for yourself the large
sum thus controlled by immigrants
to the western states-which was
their destination.
They aim to farm, and they will
