25 GOVERNORS FAVOR CONVICT ROAD WORK

Healtiiful Nature of Labor and Better Highways at Minimum Coat Are Advantages. Twenty-five governors have placed themselves on record as favoring the working of convicts in the construction and repair of highways, according to a compilation of the discussions of prison labor n ther last messages to the legislature, recently issued by the national eommittee on prison labor. Convict road woik is advocated by the governors both 'because of the healthful nature of such work and owing to the fact that convicts who have been employed in this way can more readily find employment when released, while many of , the governors also point out the benefit to the public from better roads secured at a minimum cost. Governor Dunne, of Illinois, states that humanitarian reasons underlie the employment in open-air work of this sort wherein and whereby the convicts are restored to society with--their manhood quickened instead of deadened or destroyed.

Governor Gddie, of Nevada, who was instrumental in securing the passage of the legislation -which provides for convict road work in that state, is enthusiastic as to the success of the plan. i "There is no question,” he maintains, “but that the passage of this law has had a wholesome effect on our prison system and has been the means of giving a new start in life to a large proportion of the discharged and paroled men. About 40 per cent of the total number of our convicts have been performing good service under the honor system at the road camp.” Governor Hanna, of North Dakota, Governor Cox, of Ohio, and Governor West, of Oregon, hold that outdoor work should be a privilege to be earned by good conduct; Governor 'Mann, of Virginia, testified to the efficiency of the convicts when employed on the roads and cites figures to prove the economy of such work, maintaining, however, that the present cost can be greatly reduced by placing the men on their honor and lessening the number of idle guards, while Governor McDonald, of New Mexico, and Governor Carey, of Wyoming, refer to the few attempts at escape that have been made by convicts practically unguarded. Governor Hunt, of Arizona, is in favor of paying the convicts at least 25 cents a day for their services, as the cost will be small compared to the actual benefit derived by the construction of splendid highways, While the benefit accruing to society will return the investment a thousand fold. The consideration given to convict road work by the governors is an indication of the importance attached to the matted by the people throughout the country- The governors present many different viewpoints, but a careful study of their tatements shows that road wprk, when conducted on a basis fair to the convict and the state, will go fiar toward solving 'both the convict labor problem and the problem of good roads.

AUTOMOBILE MASCOTS.

SL Christopher One Favorite Design “"-—Comic Figures of Many Kinds. Automobile mascots are growing hi; popularity and in variety in London. Already a form of etiquette has grown up as to the carrying of an automobile mascot It must be attached to the cap of tbe radiator and the material must be solid -brass or aluminum picked out with enamel. Many English automoblllsts hare adopted the Continental patron saint St Christopher, who Is represented bearing a lamb in his arms and picking his way across a stream. But there are countless other badges of a less dignified and more humorous order. The comic London “bobby” ranks as the most popular of amulets among automoblllsts, closely followed by a weird specimen of a yelping dog.

Two Automobile Mascots.

Then there is - the black cat, the proverbial bringer of good luck; the golliwog, the weird pabberwock, a zoological monstrosity that never waß on land or sea; a horned fawn, borrowed from classical mythology; a crowing cock, which came into fashion when Rostand’s “Chantecler” was monopolizing theatrical talk, ahd a spread eagle. The teddy bear has fallen into disfavor. Some of these mascots have been also dropped by airmen,' A good many devotees of the car believe in carrying live mascots. One woman never leaves a pet monkey at home when out in her car, while ■ others have beribboned pet animals of different sorts seated between themselves and the chauffeur.

Unique Coffin.

Perhaps the most singular coffin in which a human being ever was buried is the one of which the following story is told: A workman engaged In casting metal for the manufacture of ordnance in the Woolwich arsenal, in England, lost his balance and fell into a cauldron containing twelve tons of molten steel. The metal was at white heat and the man was utterly consumed in less time than it takes to tell it v The War Office authorities held a conference and decided not to prof me the dead by using the metal in the manufacture of ordance, and the mass of metal was actually buried and a Church of England clergyman read the services for the dead over it.— “New York Herald. IT

ARTISTIC TABLE FLY TRAPS.

Realizing that ordinary flypaper and fly traps on the diningroom table or in the windows of shops are far from artistic, a French inventor has designed a fly trap which makes a not unpleasant ornament for the table and a drawing attraction for store windows. He provides a disk formed with a ring of depressions or cups, which are baited with Jelly or other foods that attract flies. By means of clockwork in the base of the trap the disk Is slowly revolved, bringing the cups one by one under a vertical cylinder of wire netting. The trap is covered by miniature representations, the one illustrated being a windmill. The flies enter the door of the mill and while they are busy eating

Ingenious Fly Trap.

the bait qhey are carried under the tower. Alarmed at this they fly upward, easily finding their way through the openings in the top of the cones. Once in the prison tower they cannot escape and must await the hand of the executioner.

A Theory of Hebrew Writing.

Why the writing of the Semitic race should distinguish itself from that of nearly all other peopleain that it runs from right to left is a question, says a writer in the New York Bun, that has never been satisfactorily from a physiological standpoint, unless a neW theory is to be accepted, put forward by Dr. Erlenmeyer, a German savant He maintains that the ancient Hebrews were all lefthanded. In support of bis argument he quotes various passages in the Talmud, where special directions are given concerning the use of certain phylacteries with the right hand. Several passages in the Old Testament also seem to bear out Dr. Erlenmeyer’s contention, notably in the cases of Jacob and Job. The former, as related in the book of Genesis, laid his left hand—“wittingly,” the text s«yB —In blessing upon the-head of the first-born of Joseph’s sons.

“The Rosary."

Every woman thinks she knows how to keep alive the love of her husband. Wonder if the girls in this city know that art? Sometimes it is said they don’t. At any rate, they will know after they witness a performance of “The Rosary,” which is coming to the Ellis Theatre Thursday, Jan. 15th. In “The Rosary” there are three distinct love stories. The principal love affair is that of Bruce and Vera Tilton. This husband and wife love each other with their whole hearts. She is a devout woman, but he is a born atheist. Beisg a man of such business interests, Mr. Tilton neglects his home, and Vera resorts to the green-eyed monster to bring her husband back to her. She begins a flirtation with a man named Kensard WrighL Circumstances bring Mr. Wright to the Tilton home, where he falls in love with Vera’s sister, Alice. One night, when he and Alice had arranged for a secret elopment, Vera, enterng the room as the couple are leavng through an open wndow, is discovered by her husband. The result is two broken hearts. Therefore, jealousy is an evil, and not an advisable way of keeping a man interested. The second love story is between Kathleen O’Connor and Charley Harrow, Kathleen is a little Irish girl, who believes that the man she will marry must know the Irish history thoroughly. Charley knows nothing of Irish so Kathleen uses the simplest of language, dress and actions. Charley is attracted to her by her simpleness, so it is shown that the simplest truth attracts the man of the world and keeps him interested. In the love story between Lesura and Skeeters, the audience finds that opposition to a man’s vanity makes him only the more interested in the pursuit of the one thing upon which he prides himself greater than all else. During the scenes Skeeters is very proud of his ability to tell stories, but It isn’t until after an orignal system is employed that Skeeters succeeds in getting Lesura to laugh. All of this love is. in "The RosarsC and with a competent oast presenting it, the play is worth attendn£.
