Half-way there they began dis- | cussing what they would do with the | money they earned. One thought he would buy an old car, renovate it and take a trip to California. The other thought he would put his in the bank, 2dd 10 it from time to time and pay his way through college. It took quite s little time to arrive at the right con- clusion, and when at last the two for- tune hunters reached the bank, the doors were closed. Their mistake is a very common one among young people. Instead of put- ting their minds upon their work, in- stead of thinking, “This is my job. It belongs to me. I'm going to make it the very best job in town. Whatever 1 do will be done as perfectly as I know how to do it. It will be great fun to watch it grow,” he thinks only of how much money he is to get for it and spends the money before he gets it. | Beginners in any field need the growth that work brings.

Friends are to come for the afternoon or evening and the host- ess wishes to put some suitable touch to the little repast that is it is nothing more than punch, cake and sandwiches, the colorful possibilities of each can contribute to the scheme of red, white and blue, and the sand- wiches, if made in the manner to be described, can well be the piece de re- sistance. The menu suggested is: Liberty Punch. ‘White Cake. Patriot’s Sandwiches. “Firecrackers.” Liberty punch has a delicious trans- parent red appearance.

Stripes of red and white go across them length wise, and in the upper left hand corner is a collection of “stars.” One would al- |most hesitate to destroy anything so | | novel by eating it, but since that is the | intention, and they are so delicious, no «lack of patriotism is evinced by one's | | eating the patriot's sandwiches. | | To make these sandwiches, one lays | buttered and spread layers of bread one | on top of th> other until the pile is| | three or four inches high and then cuts | them longitudinally. Here. is the best method to follow: Select some filling | that is red; good ones are currant jelly, or pimento cheese with extra pimento added for coloring, or some additional vegetable coloring mixed with it. Take a loaf of white bread, not too fresh, and from which crusts are cut. Spread the first slice with butter after cutting and put on the first layer of filling. Spread | the next slice with butter before cutting | |and then the reverse slice with filling | | afterwards, the next the same, and so | on until the pile is of the right height. | | Press well together to insure their hold- | ing and slice the “up and down" way.

One of his books of humor Was char- acteristically entitied “Baled Hay. We are stopping quietly here, tak- ing our meals in our rooms mostly, and going out very little indeed. When I say we, I use the term editorially. We notice first of all the great con- trast between this and other hotels, and in several instances this one s superior. | In the first place, there is a sense of | absolute security when one goes to sleep | here that cannot be felt at a popular | hotel, where burglars secrete themselves in the wardrobe during the day and steal one’s pantaloons and contents at | night. 'This is one of the compensa- | tions of life in prison. Here the burglars go to bed at the | haur that the rest of us do. We all retire at the same time, and a murderer cannot sit up any later at night than the smaller or unknown criminal can, You can get to Ludlow Street Jail | by taking the Second avenue elevated | to Grand street and then going east two | blocks, or you can fire a shotgun into | a Sabbath school. You can pay 5 cents to the elevated raflroad and get here, or you can put | some other man’s nickel in your own | slot and come here with an attendant. | From the exterior Ludlow Street Jail | looks somewhat like a conservatory of | music, but as soon as one enters he readily discovers his mistake. The structure has 100 feet of frontage and a court which is sometimes called the | court of last resort. The guest can | climb out of this court by ascending a polished brick wall about 100 feet high | and then letting himself down in a similar way on the Ludlow street side. That one thing is doing a great deal | toward keeping quiet a number of peo- | ple here who would otherwise, I think, g0 away. James D. Fish and Ferdinand Ward | both remained here prior to their es- cape to Sing Sing. Red Leary also made his escape from this point but { did not suceeed in reaching the peni- tentiary. Forty thousand prisoners | have been confined in Ludlow Street | Jail, mostly for civil offenses. A man | in New York runs a very short career | if he irles to be offensively civil As you enter Ludlow Street Jail the | door is carefully closed after you and | locked by means of an iron lock about the size of a pictorial family Bible. You | then remain on the inside for quite a| | spell. You do not hear the prattie of | solled children any more. All the glad sunlight, and stench-condensing pave- ments, and dark-haired Inhabitants of Rivington street are seen no longer, | and the heavy iron storm door shuts out the wail of the combat from the alley nearby. Ludlow Street Jail may be surrounded by a very miserable and dirty quarter of the city, but when you | get inside all is changed. You register first. There is a good | pen there that you can writé with, and | the clerk does not chew tolu and read | a sporting paper while you wait for a room. He is there to attend to business and he attends to it. He does not seem | to care whether you have any baggage | or not, and you can stay there for | days if you don't have any . | One enters his sanitarium either as a boarder or a felon. If you decide to | come in as a boarder, you pay the i warden $15 a week for the privilege of sitting at his table and eating the lux- uries of the market. You also get a better room than at many hotels, and you have a good, strong door, with a | padiock on it, which enables you to prevent the sudden and unlooked-for entrance of the chambermaid. It is a good-sized room, with a wonderful amount of seclusion, a plain bed, table, chairs, carpet and so forth. After a iltW weeks at the seaside, at $19 per day, I think the room in which I am writing is not unreasonable at $2. Still, of course, we miss the breeze. | Heavy iron bars keep the mosquitoes | out. and at night the house is lighted by Incandescent lights of one candle- power each. Neat snuffers, consisting of the thumb and forefinger polished on the hair, are to be found in each oc- cupied room. Bread is served to the freshmen and juniors in rectangular wads. It is such bread as convicts’ tears have molist- ened many thousand years. In that way it gets quite moist. We retire at 7:30 o'clock at night and rise at 6:30 in the morning, so as to get an early start. A man who has five or ten years to stay in a place o this naturally likes to get at it s soon as possible each day, and so | he gets up at 6:30. 1 We dress by the gaudy light of the | AUNT HET | { BY ROBERT QUILLEN. | ! “The more important a man thinks | | he is, the more abused he feels when | | his wife has a baby an’ ain’t got much | time to pet him.” | THE LUDLOW NYE. candle, and the time from 6:30 to breakfast is occupled by the average inmate in doing the chamber work and tidying up his stateroom. I do not know how others feel about it, but 1 dislike chamber work most heartily, especlally when I am in jail. Nothing has done more to keep me out of jail, I guess, than the fact that while there | I have to make up my own bed and dust the piano. Breakfast- is generally table d'hote and consists of bread. A tincup of | coffee takes the taste of the bread out | of your mouth, and then if you have some Limburger cheese in your pocket | you can with that remove the taste of | the coffee. | Dinner is served at 12 o'clock and consists of more bread with soup. This soup has everything in it except nourishment. The bead on this soup is noticeable for quite a distance. It is | disagreeable. Several days ago I heard that the mayor was in the soup, but I didn’t realize it before. I thought it was a newspaper yarn. There is every- thing in this soup, from shopworn rice up to neatsfoot oil. Once I thought I| detected cuisine in it. The dinner menu is changed on Fri- days, Sundays and Thursdays, on which | days you get the soup first and the | bread afterward. In this way the bread | i1s saved. | Three days in a week each man gets | at dinner a potato containing a theu- | sand-legged worm. At 6 o'clock comes | supper, with toast and responses. Bread | is served at supper time, together with a cup of tea. To those who dislike bread and never eat soup, or do not drink tea or coffee, life at Ludlow St. Jail is indeed irksome. Before closing this brief and incom- plete account as a guest at Ludlow St. Jail, I ought, in justice to my family, to say, perhaps, that I came down this morning to see a friend of mine v‘m is here because he refuses to pay #hi- | mony to his recreant and morbidly sociable wife. He says he is quite con- tent to stay here so long as his wife is on the outside. He is' writing a small ready-reference book on his side of the great problem: “Is Marriage a Failure?” ‘With this I shake him by the hand, and in a moment the big iron stormdoor clangs behind me, the big clock click: in its hoarse, black throat, and I wel- come even the air of Ludlow st. so long as the blue sky is above it.

You might at first question the cor~ diality of your hostess if she offered you a metal chalr such as the one shown in the lllustration, but would no sooner be seated than you would realize that your ease and comfort r3 were being well looked after, for the chair would be soft and springy.

Cook two pounds of veal at a sim- mering point in one quart of water until tender. Separate the meat from the bones, then put the meat through a grinder, using the fine knife. Soak one tablespoonful of gelatin in one-fourth cupful of water and add to the hot meat broth. Add the ground meat, the juice of half a lemon, one ‘tablespoonful of finely chopped parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture stand until it begins to set, then fold in one cupful of whipped cream and pour the mixture into a dampened oblong pan. Chill thoroughly until firm. Cut in slices and serve cold. The bony pieces of veal, such as cuts from the neck and the shoulder, are excellent for making Jellied veal. it s P e St —————— Post TOASTIES THE wake-(fi FOOD the Same High Quality gy in the morning!
