There is a little paper called 'The Umpire" published and p. in ted by the inmates of the Eastern State Penitentiary, of Philadelphia, and edited J>y "B7413." It states at bead of its edi- 1 tonal column that the prison population is males, 1427; females, 24; total 1401., and that the last serial number is B820. The following are some clippings ' from its columns: •RELIGIOUS SERVICES Catholic Mass is celebrated at the Prison Chapel every Sunday at 7 JO o'clock, A. M. Confession on Saturday mornings. Episcopal services held at the Chapel on the third Thursday of every month. Jewish services held on Saturday's at 1 the Band Room. General Services are held on the various Blocks at 9» o'clock every Sunday morning. •PRISONERS AND SHERIFF 1 CONVERTED From various sources we learn that there has been number of extensive revivals conducted in various parts of the country, and from Springfield, 111., comes the information that splendid work has been accomplished there. The meetings were of special interest to all in attendance. A striking figure among the large number of converts was Sheriff John A. Wheeler. A number of his deputies and several of the officers of the jail were also converted. The sheriff had permitted the inmates of the jail to attend the services, special deputies being sworn in to accompany them. Numbers of these prisoners were converted, seven of them , being baptized in one of the churches . before entering upon their penitentiary | sentences. The sheriff himself came , boldly to the front one evening and an- . nounced his determination to turn to , Christ after twenty -five years of unbelief. His first official act after his con- , version was to issue a statement that gambling, big and small must cease ■ , and that no favoritism would be shown, j His second official statement was to the . effect that all men found in immoral { , bouses would be prosecuted under the ■ criminal laws, and their names published. His conversation created a profound . sensation. The conversion of a sheriff , which results in a practical reform in , enforcing all laws without halt or fear , or favor is a significant fact. Sheriffs of counties as a general rule are men of intelligence and courage, many of whom , enforce the law as a sworn duty. There ; are others who are moral cowards, who , shiver in the presence of rich malefactors; especially - if "they lepieseiiT the , liquor interests. I •It's just the power to try out some- j, thing he never did before that marks off ' . man from the animal. It's just the try- j , that develops the power. The law I of nature is that they who do the thing shall have the power. I , "No man can antedate his experience, j "so can antedate nis experience,

guar- what faculty or feeling a new ™ shall unlock, any more than he can draw today the face of a parson he shall see tomorrow for the first time 'Tear of making a mistake, fear of failing, fear of looking silly — It is these that hold us back, keep up within the same narrow lines of life. We ought to make a move every day, opening op new and better ways of action, new mental fields, new spiritual chambers hidden within. No one ever comes , to the end of possibilities in any part of his being, in any of his faculties." Being always willing to try, we must make ourselves equally willing to fail and fail at first, indifferent to failure and to ridicule. Then add faith in ourselves and we make success certain." "It is ever true that he who does nothing for others does nothing for himself." PRESENTS A HOTEL TO COURTEOUS MANAGER In the May American Magazine is a story by Fred C. Kelly to prove that' courtesy in business pays. It has to do Iwith George C. Boldt, manager of the ' Waldorf-Astoria in New York City, and j former manager of a Philadelphia hostelry. "One night, when all the hotels in Philadelphia were crowded «nd it was almost impossible to obtain a room, a man and his wife drove up to Boldt's hotel and asked, in a tofffc of despair, if , be could not give them a place to sleep. •"Yes," Boldt told them, *you can take my room — that's all I have.' "The next morning the guest told Boldt th*t a manager with his sense of courtesy wotfid be an assured success in a much larger hotel. "And, added thq. guest, "I'm willing to provide you -with the hotel." "Since then that same gues has invested many millions of dollars in hotels under Boldt's direction.- The gue<t was William Waldorf Astor." A little cough is frequently the warning signal of tuberculosis? Bad teeth and bad tonsils may be the cause of -rheumatism? Don't forget "THE JONAH."

LOVETT, Official in charge. The Federal Reserve Banking System cvontinnes to demonstrate its great usefulness — to the South. TDe- April numof the Board's Bulletin reports the total discounts of commercial paper granted b ythe reserve banks in the month of February to have been a little more than seven and a half millions, the smallest monthly total since the hanks were opened. But, it- adds, "over 79 per j cent of the monthly discounts are credI ited to the three Southern banks." It , is not stated whether the South reduced ' its business during the month or not. The presumption is that the South took full advantage of the system which Secretary McAdoo and his other Southern colleagues arranged for the special benefit of that section so highly favored in every respect by this administration. The humiliating fact now begins to appear that our punitive expedition into terrtory carries the accent on the puny. Three years ago Woodrow Wilson was told that he would have to send troops into Mexico some day and he only aat back and laughed, as he boasted at Indianapolis. Now that the j day for action has come, the administration is handicapped by its previous inAmong the other interesting results of the primaries in Michigan was the

tional Committee in opposition to the j present incumbent. But the unregen- ! erate won out by two to one. This may I afford some line as to how Michigan | Democrats feel toward the titular head of their party. The episode is also interesting because it demonstrates that on man at least is proud of having been an original in the Wilson movement. Most of the party who stafted out that way are trying to forget it Several months ago President Wilson admitted that he is not a business man, and he has proved it by his administration. In his Jefferson Day speech, he said: "We have turned the thoughts a rig the energies and the conquering genius of the business men of America to the great field of the business of the world at large." That comes from the same man who said that "it is very tedious to bear men lie, particularly when you know they are lying." The fsct of the matter is that Democratic legislation destroyed American business to such an extent that European and Asiatic business men became the conquering genius" in the American market. The outbreak of the war in Europe was all that saved us from complete dissster. It is true that the thoughts of American business men are at the moment turned to the field of the world at large, but that is due entirely to the effect of the war. And Wilson knows it, but is intellectually dishonest enough to say "We did it." CASTORIA For Infant* and Children In U— ForOw^»OY««a^ * DO YOU KNOW THAT? Light promotes cleanliness?

CAUSE OF CROOKED ASPARAGUS STALKS Crooked asparagus stalks are practically worthless. They can be voided' to a large extent by the use of proper precautions during the cutting season. If the side of a developing stalk Is injured, growth directly aboTe the injury will be retarded while growth will continue as before on the uninjured side. Git worms ofter eat holes into stalks, producing the same effect upon the developing shoots. While gathering the crop, the cutter should be careful not to allow his knife to touch other stalks which may still be under the soil. The knife should also not touch <the roots, for there is danger that they ha thus destroyed. Hard soil, stones or rtbBish may cause crooked stalks. Frequent tilling will tend to keep the soil soft and moist. Asparagus should never be planted cm r stony or gravelly field Rubbish may be easily removed. The New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, New Brunswick, N. J., has issued a brief comprehensive circular upon asparagus which will be sent to any address upon application.
