Professors, philosophers, doctors and editors will sit down and theorize upon this propo sition, but it is only theory after all, learned as It may be, I have theorized myself. But now I throw aside theory on this question andspeak'of the practical tind my own experience. I have managed to keep my health and strength, but it was by discipline. That discipline Would liave "been of no avail so far as my own efforts were concerned had 1 not had to work twelve hours out of -every twenty- four. I never knew how pleasant hard work was, and how nmch satisfac tion and enjoyment could be found in it.

If I had not had work I should have been by this time a wreck and a can didate for the Kankakee asylum. No greater mistake could be made in the management of these institutions than was made in the adoption of the constitutional amendment two years prohibiting the employment of prisoners upon contract work. If they are not allowed to do that, what can they do? If they have not something to do half of them will become: raving lunatics in a little while. Why, you will find men hero on Sundays begging for work for something to do to keep them from too close association with themselves and their own thoughts. I shou.

be like thorn had I not cultivated the habit and become an inveterate roador. But tho men who come hero and who have no taste for reading are not able even by their work to keep' from becoming prey to their own broodings, and for that reason they leave hero worse than they come. Take away their work and you take away the one thing that now koops these men out of tho asylum. With av the rowing 'ak- NEISAATSNDER DODSQN, Props.

AV. Lyon, J. J. Marty, G. AAr.

Olinger, K.J.Morgan, Del Graham and rea Johns'. Tbey are well pleased with Burns as a trading point. A tall, lean, lank well dressed stran ger wearing "a heavy, large, black hat in military fashion, has beeii seen about he city for a couple of week's past. He represented his name to be Hall, formerly a lawyer but now member of a Kansas City firm in the land business, himself the owner of many farms in Kansas. lie was a restless individual, walking the streets, of ten when they were comparatively "deserted.

In the early part of last week he called on Elder John L. McCune, a substantial far mer of Benton, and made a contract with him to be agent for the sale of 300 steam feed cookers or some such con trivance. After the contract was drawn and signed he called for a property statement from McCune and took from his pocket a blank which was tilled in with the worldly possession oi his victim, the excuse being that he had to show' to the steam cooker company by this means the financial reliability of McCune. On the opposite side oi ihis statement McC.une's signature was obtained and beneath it and running the other way of the paper were two drafts which the slick individual filledl in for $1,000 each and tried to negotiate with each of the El Dorado banks The; banks refused to discount them though, offered at 10 per cent, off and due in June next. It was a little too big and the banks were suspicious knowing Mc- Cune's indisposition to have Iris paper floating around in that manner.

After the deal with McCune the man secured a horse at Towanda and rode to El Dorado. Failing to negotiate the drafts here tie rode the same horse to Augitsta and wrote the owner at Towanda where he could find his property and where to; write, to. a certain postoffice box in Kansas City, for his pay. Of course there is. no such Kansas City land firm; no box of that number for such a firm; his name was not Hall and the swindler's striking attire was' put on simply to attract attention lie is not wearing the same suit now and the old Nick on ly knows where he is a pure case of kawk and chicken.
