GRIM PRACTICE. : GRUESOME PICTURE of prison life in ® modern and sup- posedly civilized community the Westchester Grand Jury es reveals in asking for the abandonment of Sing Sing. “Cells Qnfit for the housing of animals,” dark and filthy “coolers” or pun- * fwhment cells so horrible that “men have lost from twenty-five to thirty pounds and gone insane” from being confined in them, vermin infested bedding, unsanitary kitchens and washrooms, disease germs, emp and rheumatism put Sing Sing on a level with dungeons of the Middle Ages. The Grand Jury finds the condition of the prison such ts to “demand drastic action to the end that remedial legislation be S = BB once adopted.” “Shut it up” is the general sentiment. Most people will find it hard to understand how, with our ad- ¥an00d modern preachings about the treatment of prisoners and crim- Rade, one of the most conspicuous prisons in the country has been to sink to such barbarous depths. The world has two notions what to do with criminals in confinoment. The one is to reform ») them. The other is to handle them so harshly and brutally that ‘ | their punishment may be a warning to themselves and an example + te others. In theory and talk we uphold the former.

To the Interstate Comn:erce Commissioner and the Connecticut Public Viilities Commission, inquiring into the causes of the Stamford » wreck, General Manager Bardo said: “The criticism which thts rail- ) toad has passed under in the lagt year and a half is enough to break down the discipline and esprit de corps of any organization that ever lived. You cannot expect, if you are going to criticise a railroad #2 this railroad has Sl that criticism is not going to reach ) Sato the ranks.” é Bg Then why not have stopped the criticiem by removing the rea- sons for it? Criticisms of the New Haven system have been plainly against its out-of-date equipment and methods, its old cars, ite ity brakes, its defective rails and cross-overs, ifs wilful neglect * of first duties of honest railroading.

Meanwhile, at the Jarr apartments all was dark and quiet. Mrs. Jarr had Bone downtown to meet Mr, and Mra. Jenkins. Mr. Jarr nad not yet come home; and Gertrude, the Jarr's light running domestic, had slipped out with the Jarr children for surreptitious ice crear: sodas. Mr. Rangle stood at the door of the Jarr apartments, and inside he could ar the telephone ringing furiously. The door was not locked. For Gertrude had taken @ chance, knowing that union durglars never burgled at dusk in flat houses; for at that time folks were generally ome. The telephone ringing still, Mr. Rangle made bold to enter and answer it, It was Mr. Jenkins calling. “What's the matter?” he asked. “T've been trying to get you for minutes!

ENRY VIIt. first, Inst and always @ jadies’ man. Some men are torn H for matrimony, some escape matrimony and some have matrimony thrust upon them. Of the last-named variety the most striking and pathetl* examples are kings. A king cannot be @ bachelor, nd cnatter how much he may yearn to; and, on the other hand, no sane-minded bachelor would exchange places with a king. Henry VIL was @ king, Three of his six wives were thrust upon him. One of these was chos the other two were—-WIDOWS. The three remaining sentimental experiences, whose reigns and romances were as ich are the tragic resuke of yleing to @ habit; above all, to the marrying habit. Never take the frat drink—or the first wife—and you will never take the second. But good may sometimes come out of evil; and out of this foollsh manta, acquired long after he had reached yeare of indiscretion, was born the greatest, inapiration of Henry's Mfe. His Majesty, weary of murder, bored by bloodshed and alwaye humane and tender-hearted, invented DIVORCE. America ewes him an undying debt of gratitude, for not only has divorce become the @reat American pastime, dut without {t both Henry and the United States would lose thelr chief claim ¢o distinction. Moreover, in substituting the legal eurgical operation for ground glass, strychnine and th jeutioner’s Henry bas saved many a fair lady's life, Thus to the last he was “all f eo Indien!” Much as ppreciate hii vice to Nevada and the world, however, we cannot entirely approve of his methods, They were too crude—too hasty, He ‘was the sort of man who tn this age would rush from the divorce court straight to the clergyman and sign a wedding certificate before the ink was dry on his decree of divorce It was worse than premature burial for the discarded wife and uncanny for the new wife. The funeral baked meats were always coldly furnishing forth the marriage feast. Such methods lack finesse. They are ike ordering your dessert and your liqueur along with your lobster. Not long since I made @ little Journey to the home of Henry VIII., the lovely Palace of Hampton Court, bullt by Cardina}] Wolsey, After Wolsey had finished this magnificent bungalow, laid out the garden, hung the pictures’and put up the sereens he invited Henry to come and inapect it. “How do you like it, Siro? he inquired anxiously. And Henry, feeling the touch of spring and the commuter’s sap rising In his veins, replied instantly that he liked It eo well that {t was immuterial to him whether he took the palace—or the Cardinal's head, Whereupon Wolsey ¢en- dered his monarch the palace “as a token of his love and esteem,” and then ‘went out in the garden and (figuratively apeaking) ate worms. Then Henry proceeded to have his initinis intertwined with those of Ano Boleyn carved upon his favorite archway at Hampton Court, But alas, before the initials were finished Ann had been beheaded and the sentimental monarch tad married Jane Seymore Hasty? Vulgar? Crude? Indeed, yes—almest Reno-esque! ‘The only two women who ever managed to hold Henry's attention and ta- terest longer than the honeymoon were the two widows. (Oh, you widowel) The first of these, Katharine of Arragon, held him for twenty-three years. be- fore he thought of divorcing her. Twenty-three!—and yet there are people whe do not believe there ts juck in numbers. The second widow, Katharine Parr, out- lived him. In the long run Henry was very much Uke other men, The coment he got something he wanted he wanted something else, The moment @ woman be came his help-mate she ceased, to be his soul-mate, You know tow it is. There {@ something about one drink that makes a man want another the moment he has swallowed it, and something about one woman that makes him want ap- other the moment he has married her. Some men never learh anything by experience. When you married Henry you ‘new exactly what your fate would be, but that never deterred any woman fhe happened to fancy from jumping at the chance to try luck, ‘Phose who have tried matrimony, like those who have finished with the newspaper, always say there's “nothing in {t;" but that doesn’t prevent the rest of us from want- ‘tng to find out for ourselves. Another very human characteristic of Henry's was his CONSCIENCE—a well-trained, masculine conscience, which would We down and go to sleep or sit up and beg at his slightest word. Whenever he made up his mind to de anything out of the ordinary, such as beheading a wife or breaking @ treaty, he did it “for the sake of his conscience." His conscience nover hurt him, how. ever, until the fun was over and he had emptied th» bottle, or tired of t! It was always accessory AFTER the fact; but it got there just in time:to save his reputation, He decided first what he wanted to do and then, man Iike, hunted up @ ood reason for it afterward, Thus, no matter what the erime, he could always say, “There's a reaso1 His favorite remark was ‘Love is a con, marriage the sequence and divorte the con-sequence.”” The Day’s Good Stories A Prophetic Retort. fe! in court tho Judge asked the defendant if @ lawyer to represent Lim, HE Governor of Virginia, at a time when ‘Yes, Your Honor, Washington, as a mere youth, ventured to | him bere this morning, Femonstrate aguinst the injustice of a cer-} “What was his namet decree, turned fiercely upon the young man inquired : ‘And who the dickens are you, sirt’* With a cold but cuurteous bow, the roung Vir Ginian, drawing himself up to bis proud heigt, frigidly replied: - —— “Ne , but for the Po Secgerd alloca tse iol oy One on the Lawyer. ‘The haughty emphasie on the word general, tt EORGE CLARKE, a negro minstrel, on one {a sald, sent @ cold chill runing wp and down the casion, when being examincd as @ wit.
