FROM A CONVICT'S VIEW.
An (Intrant TcIIh of l'iiineifn KtTorts
I to l.uil ui Ii oiiruble Life.
I Ainniiy a miiiilx-r f Ji-jr;ivel looking
j characters wlio were arraigned in the
J Tombs police court for wtitdice on vari
I oris charge, from imrj;!nry to felonious
assault. I noticel particularly one refined
j looking j'omig fellow who. despite his
i ratted attire, appeared to be out of place
iu the prisoners' pen
His features were delicate and clearly
defined, with none of the hulleii. wrvile
appearance that is usually one of the
chief characteristics of a criminal's coun
tenance His eyes were lare and clear,
his lurehead hi;h. while his chin and
mouth denoted hih spirit and an ab
normally sensitive disposition
He occupied a seat as far distant from
his fellow unfortunates in crime c-i
the burly court ollicers would permit.
His eyes were cast on the floor, and from
his dejected appearance it was obvious
that he felt keenly his jKisition.
1 enjjaed him in conversation, and
years will not remove from memory the
fierce bitterness with which he reviewed
his unsuccessful attempts to secure hon
orable employment after the first convic
tion for some triPinj; crime.
"My name." said he, iu answer to my
question, "what do 30U waut with it.'
To publish it so that those who have
sent me here this time will know how
well their prejudice did its work?
"Well Thomas will do Charles
Thomas That is what 1 atn called now.
It is not my real name. 1 have a few
relatives anil I respect them. They have
moved from where they lived when 1
was first sent away none to a new
home to escape my shame that is why
I'm Thomas."
There is no criminal so hardened but
what he will cherish somewhere behind
his roujjh exterior a tender thought of a
past association a friend, perhaps, or
probably a sister. For that reason when
Thomas turned away his head I remain
ed silent. 1 thought I distinguished a
suspicious moisture in his eyes, but 1
may have been mistaken
"It is very easy to start," he continued,
'but once started you cannot 6top. Peo
ple will uot let you
"With a crowd of companions one day
I drank more than I could stand. A
qifarrel followed and 1 stabbed one fel
low with my penknife. 1 was arrested,
tried and convicted and sentenced to
Sing Sing for three years.
"That was enough for me, and when
1 came back I tried to start over again.
1 secured employment as a driver. I
had been a clerk in a building material
dealer's yard on West Thirtieth street. 1
had 110 trouble, worked hard and was
complimented by my employer. Then 1
noticed that my associates began to
avoid me. Two or three would get to
gether, point at me and talk about me in
an undertone.
"Finally, one day the proprietor came
to me and said. 'Thomas, 1 have no
fault to find with you; you have worked
faithfully and hard, but the other men
say you have been a convict and that
they will leave if you don't. I will have
to discharge you, although I am sorry.'
He gave me two weeks' wages and 1 had
to leave.
"1 tried again with a like result. Then,
in desperation, I robbed a store and was
sent away again.
"You wanted to know, mister, how i
got here; well, that's how.
"I'm going to Sing Sing for burglary,
and when 1 get out I'll probably go back
for the same crime. Nobody cares, and
I don't.
A man who has uot been unfortunate
won't work with me. i could not get
married even if 1 tried to settle down
and be respectable. No self respecting
woman would have me.
"CJo where I'm not known? Yes, 1
could do that, but a man can't succeed
when he is acting a lie. It would be
found out and I would have to go to an
other place where I'm not known."
"Thomas!" shouted a court officer
"Here," replied the unfortunate.
"You are charged with burglary," said
the justice as he approached the bar.
"Guilty or not guilt3-?"
"Guilty."
4 "Remanded for sentence."
Thomas was led away to a cell in the
prison beneath the floor of the court.

Lkoctorn IMrt'er About Gray Hair.
Some authorities seem to regard the
graying of the hair as a mechanical and
incidental phenomena due to defective
functions, and others regard it as an or
ganic or chemical process. The location
and character of the coloring substance
in the hair is also a question about which
authorities differ greatly Watts' "Dic
tionary of Chemistry." also Dr. Bichat
and Dr Draper, have advanced the view
that the color is in the ceutral portion of
the hair, while no less an authority
than Cuvier asserts quite the reverse,
that the peripheral portion contains the
color Other authorities, as Drs Car
penter. Todd and Bowman, state that the
pigmentary granules are sometimes in
one part and sometimes iu another of
the hair shaft, while "Kolliker supposes
that the dark pigment of the medulla
are nothing more than the globnles of
air in the air cells." Hyland C. Kirk in
New York Times
A liirl Who Wouldn't Itlack Moots.
I have known a wedding appointed,
and the doors of the chapel open, aud
every one waning but no one arrive,
and the parties remain unmarried. In
one case a foolish dispute occurred as
the young couple were walking across
the fi-Ids to the place of worship about
who ought to cleau the husband's boots.
At first it was only a joke, but it was
taken in earnest, and the bride elect
seated herself on a stile to argue the mat-
