Tom wasn't a bit, though. I don't think she likes me very much. I had met her last winter once at the IMaza, where I was having tea with a southern man whom I had known for a year or two and who was living in New York at that time. ' He was remarkably good looking, and I saw quite a good deal of him. He had the lovllest' way of telling everybody how much he adored me and would propose tight before another girl. He was so at tractive the other girl was always crazy about ldm. and If I didn't happen to like her it made It very nico for me. The day we met Jennie Steele I was more or less at a disadvantage, because I had on an old tallor-mrde suit and a last year's hat that I had worn because he thought it becoming, but which I should never want to have a fight with another woman In. She was at the next, table and almost literally fell On Ills neck. She had on an exquisite creation of lavender chiffon, and, looking as smart as Bhe did, It didn't mat ter very much how ahe behaved.

It was the most mussed up anrt of a meal, anyway.' She insisted on taking the cream to wash her face with, and The American Frlson association, com posed of the leading prison authorities and criminologists of the Vnited States and Canada, begins Its fortieth annual congress In Washington today. It will have the honor of entertaining the foreign delegates of tha International Frlson association, which will hold lu cougreas in tha aaina city next week. These foreign delegates hsva been enjoying one of the most Impor tant tours ever participated In by prison authorities and penologists. Starting from New York, on a special all-Pullman train, they have visited the Important penal Insti tutions between that city and Chicago, re turning to Washington by way of lndan- polia and Louisville. They found much to commend In the advanced methods of deal ing with the criminal as characterised by the work at Elmlra. Sing Sing, Auburn, Mansfield and Indianapolis. The activities of these two congresses represent only a portion of the work being done for the betterment of the condition of the prison population of the United States. A society has been formed for the sclrntlflo study of criminals; another has been organized for the purpose of bringing about reforms In the enactment and en forcement o criminal law; while still an other alms to establish the principle of In determinate sentences and the parole sys tem. The work of the American Prison asso ciation has served to produce In the United States as excellent a corps of prison keep era as Is to be found in any country. Fre quent Intel change of Ideas, and the custom of visiting the various Institutions, has made available for all, the lesson taught by experience at each Institution. The first president of the American association was Rutherford B. Hayea, afterwards president of the United States. He was governor or Ohio at the time of the organisation In 70. In some states farms have been estab lished In conjunction with the peniten tiaries and reformatories. The right to work upon these plantations) Is made de pendent upon the prison records of the men. This has served to give nearly every prison Inmate an Incentive to good be havior and has resulted favorably with re gard to the health of those who have been allotted the privilege of life In the open air. At the same time It has given them a training of great benefit when they are given their liberty. It Is often difficult to obtain work after a term In prison nnd farm' life offers about the best solution of this difficulty. In some states the men are put out on road work. In one western state they have no armed guards over them and there are fewer escapes than In other camps where such guards are maintained. It la said by those In charge of these men that "they could . not take more pride in their work If they expected to reap a for tune from It. In Minnesota the .Inmates of the peni tentiary are engaged In making binder twine. The output of the prison factory Is sold to the farmers at 8 cents a pound less than the prices charged by the binder twine trust. Yet In cpltc of this remarkable re duct Ion the.- net earnings of the factory amounts to I1S9.69 per year from each man engaged. It Is now the plan of the Mln nesota authorities to build a big agricul tural Implement factory where machinery will be made for the farmers of the state As Minnesota Is able to finance all its state Institutions without levying a single penny of state taxes, it will be seen that the farmers of that state well may be tot the butler slippcfs. t)n Sunday night.

It was Just my luck to have a cold, of course I sat next to Mr. Craig, and as he had a slight cold, too, we could sympathise with each other. After dinner Tom and I found ourselves sitting out In the hall together somehow. He raid he didn't admire Jennie Steele at all, though she was probably a very nice girl. Jennie told me she had a compliment for me when we went up to bed a "last go." I made her tell me first, though, and he said Mr. Craipr had said I looked so good-hearted. I was a good deal annoyed, but tried not to show It. . So then I told her that Tom had said he was sure she was a very nice girl. 'lib plement shops. It Is estimated that when the implement shops are In full blast the prison population of the state pcnaentllary will be bringing In a net Income of 1300,000 year to the state. More agitation has been waged about the questlun of paroling prisoners than about any other problem confronting the penolo gists of the country In recent years. Ex perienec has demonstrated that the life ptinoner. with every ray of hope stricken from his life, becomes little more than gloomy, remorse-stricken brute yielding; the moat reluctant obedience to prison rules. Most criminologists believe that If there were a system of parole for these "life men, which would Introduce some hope into their existence, they would be come the mainstay of discipline in penal institutions. That this conclusion Is well- founded seems tovbe demonstrated In the case of the men serving lift? sentences In the San Quentin penitentiary, California. A number of years ago they petitioned the governor of California to parole one man of their number each year, the parole going to the prisoner having the beat record up to that time. After consulting with various prison authorities, tha governor decided to try the experiment, it worked so well, both In the prison and out of It, that a number of states have copied the Idea. The majority of life sentences are fot murder In the aecond degree. It la thought Uiat a record of from ten to twenty-five years of good W&avlor inside prison walla la sufficient evidence that these men would be excellent citisens If liberated. The ob jection to the parole of life prisoners cornea mainly from atatea In which there Is no capital punishing and where the Jury awards favor tlfe-lmprleonment rather than death. That crime and feeble mlndedneas arise from hereditary taint Is well Illustrated by Information gathered In Pennsylvania penal Institutions. It was found In the Investiga tion that no lesa than 154 feeble minded people were being supported by the state, all of whom were the offspring of one mar riage four generations back. The statis tics of criminal life are little less striking. In many Instances there being chains of criminals coverng five and six genet atons of a famly. It has been shown that 64 per cent of all crime in the United States is due to three causes, all of which may, In fact, be traced to one source. Drunkenness represents "3 per cent of the causes of crlmi In the United States, vagrancy 20 per cent, and disorderly conduct 11 per, cent. Va grancy usually arises from drunkenness, and disorderly conduct most often spring! from thu same source, so that It is fair to assume that the majority of all crimes art the direct or indirect results of drunkenness. Seventy per cent of all criminals in tht United States come from defeotlve homes. and SO per cent of these from homes where husband and wife are separated. There are more than 80,000 prisoners In the Jails, reformatories and penitentiaries of the United States. Approximately 10,001 of these are there for homicide in one form or another. More than 6,000 of those serv ing terms for homloide are life prisonera. It la estimated that the cost of crime in the United States la more than $1. 0110,000,000 a year, but such flgurea are not supported by the more conservative authorities. A full toOO.OtiO.OVO has been Invested in plans, buildings and equipment of the varloui penal Institutions of the country. More than 1,000,000 men are engaged, in one ca pacity or another. In combating crime oi punching Its perpetrators. Considerable debate has been waged among prison authorities as to whether or not crime Is on the Increase. It Is not ' contended that there are fewer violators of the law today than there were year ago. but the Increase in violations is charge able to the fact that there are more things for which men may be penalized. For in stance, twenty years ago no one was con victed of adulterating rood, for the simple reason that there was no law making such adulteration a crime, it Is, only In recent years that men could be punished for auto mobile speeding or Joyrtnding, since there were no automobile In which to speed and joyrtde In year gone by. Rebating.Tnow a criminal offense, once was looked ' upon without disfavor, even by the, government. President Taft declared In an addresa delivered not long ago, that he believed throughout the country the administration of criminal law and the prosecuting of crime constituted a disgrace to our civilization. One of the things he had In mind was the comparative immunity of the rich from the operation of the criminal law, while the poor feel all the bitterness of Its enforce ment. A preacher once declared that If a man stole $10 they sent him to Jail, and If ha stole $10,000 they sent hltu to congress. Of course, this was an exaggeration, but It illustrates a tendency lamented by Mr. Taft and all other devotees of the public good. The chief aim of the prison reform ers today la to prevent the unfortunate youth of the naMon from gravitating Into a hardened career of crime. Under old con ditions the wayward boy waa sent to jail, where he could consort with none but those hardened In crime and where he was al most sure to absorb the na'.ure of crimin ality. At present the juvenile court and the probation officer are trying to make the unfortunate boys and girls who get Into the tolls of the law feel that there 1 hope for them and If they will join In the effort, the may be reconstructed Into good, useful and honorable cltUens. The same attitude la displayed on the part nt the keepers of adult prisoners, and no force has labored so long or so effectively for the re juvenation of the prison world as tha American Prison congresa. bt raxcsxio j. habkiit.
