than 1,000 prison-
ers were confined My newspaper re-
quired of me three "feature" articles
a week, the subjects to be taken from
the lives and crimes of the men and
women so imprisoned.
Ore morning, on entering the peni-
tentiary and proceeding to the book
which contained the routine items for
the press, 1 found there this slip:
"No. 18,(>00, Kdward Washburn, life,
prisoner, sentence commuted to twen-
ty-eight years and six months."
Here was something to be investi-
gated. On making Inquiry I found
that Edward Washburn had been re-
ceived on a life sentence in 1H70 nnd
that now, after a laps** of over twenty
years, the board of pardons—the
eternal source of hope for all prison-
ers iu that state —had acted upou his
ease, with the above result. Even in
prison good behavior pays. Each con-
vict has a certain number of days tie-
ducted from every month of his term,
according to the length of his sen-
tence, if he demeans himself properly.
Thus it lies in the power of a "long-
time" man to gain years of freedom.
Allowing Washburn the deduction
each month for good conduct during
his entire twenty-eight years' sen-
tence, it caused his time to expire on
the following Sunday.
The next thing to do .was to see Ed-
ward Washburn himself. The sensa-
tions of a man who has been a convict
for twenty }ears, who has been as
completely isolated from the outside
world as if he were dead and buried,
and who is then resurrected, called
back to life and liberty, cannot be de-
void of interest to the most indiffer-
ent. I found my man wheeling ashes
and refuse from the cook house. In
this occupation he had been engaged
stone wall In front of him with dull,
vacant eves. He seemed oblivious to
everything and kept repeating. "I
didn't mean any harm. I only thought
I'd shoot for fun, aud mebbe that
would fetch him."
I have looked into murderers' faces
on the verge of eternity while the
death warrant was l eing read, iu
order that I might tell the publie next
morning whether the lip quivered or
the eye grew dim, but, as I gazed at
this picture of weakness and misery
on the wheelbarrow in frout of me, it
made me sick. The victim of an act
done in the name of "fun"—and this
was fun!
The man presently came to himself
and went on: *
"As I shot, Jase come into the door,
antl when the smoke cleared away 1
saw hiin lyin' just outside in the snow,
face downward. I 'member pickin'
him up and carry in' him inside, and
then startin' out to I'auldin' for help.
After that 1 don't remember nothin'
until I found I was lyin' down on the
ground and a crowd of men standin'
r<>und me I heerd one of 'em say:
•lie must have tripped up on that dry
grapevine and hit his head on the root
of the tree It 'pearsas if Washburn
and Scott must hava had a racket—
over that gal, most likely—and Wash-
burn killed Scott.' I found out af-
terward that a huntin' party had
stopped at the cabin and found .lase
lyin' on the floor dead, with my bullet
through his heart. They looked for
me and linally saw my tracks in the
snow and /ollowed them. They found
me a couple of miles away in the
woods, lyin' at the foot of a tree
where I fell.
Some believed my story and some
didn't. Them as didn't b'lieve it said
'twarn't likely if what I said was true
that I would 'a' tried to run away. All.
1 know is I meant to set out for Pauld-
in\ but it'pears as if I'd gone wrong
some way.
"The jedge, as he said, wanted to
'low me a ttghtin' chance and give mo
the privilege of enterin' a plea of man-
slaughter. I said it was all along of
my bullheadedncss that I am hero
now, and so it was. My lawyer wanted
me to plead guilty to the charge the
jedge offered me. I asked him what it
meant, lie said it meant that I killed
Jase in a racket, and then give me a
long lingo about tnallce aforethought,
or something like that, but I didn't
understand it I only knew they
wanted ine to say I murdered Jase in
a racket I warn't going to say I
for seventeen years.
The long yrftirs of prison life had done a thing when I didn't. I llared
had their effect. The prisoner was an ; up and I wouldn't listen to nobody. I
old man, broken in body and mind couldn't see things right. Well, the
although he told 1110 his age was 4:3 I trial didn't take long. Everythin'went
xplaiued that I had permission to 1 erossways for me. I told my story

didn't mean anything. I just shot to
scare him. 1 didn't care much what
they done with me for that. The

SNOW.
His next words were unusual. "I
don't blame nobody but mysel/ for
bein' here," he went on. Who ever
heard of a convict before who at-
tributed to himself the blaine for being
in the penitentiary? Most convicts
are the innocent victims of villainous
conspiracies. They never did any
wrong in their lives and especially
they never even dreamed of committing
the crime for which they are serving
sentence. Such a virtuous, upright
and deeply wronged set of men can b •
found nowhere else as in prison.
"It was all along of my bullheaded-
ness, but 1 guess I d better go back
to the beginnin' of my story if you
want to hear it all. When I was about
19 year old Jason Scott and nje took
the job of clearin' eighty acres of land
close to where l'auldin' is now. In
them days the town wasonlv a clearin'
with a few log shanties Jase was a
couple of years younger than me.
His father and mine had come West
other side showed how .lase had been
found dead in the cabin, how I was
found lyin' in the snow miles from
l'auldin* as if I hadn't been goin' for
help. Then they got witnesses who
bwore as how Jase and me were
jealous 'bout Mandy, how I'd asked
her to go to a gatherin' with me and
she'd gone with Jase. It warn't so, I
kuowed it, but it wouldn't do no good
k for me to say it warn't Mandv and
I me understood one another, tfiough
there warn't much betwixt us then.
I s'posc she might have told what she
knowed about it on the stand, but I
wasn't going to have her mixed up in
the thing. I 'lowed they couldn't con-
vict me because what I said was true.
"The jury fetched in a verdict of
murder in the second degree, and ac-
cordin' to law that meant for life.
! "They carried Mandy out of the
courtroom. Seems as though she
thought it was her fault some way or
'nother. Mandy's been trying to get
I me out ever since. SJie said if it hadn't
been for her the}* couldn't 'a' shown
no motive and couldn't 'a' sent me for
life. I don't sec what good that would
'a' done when they was all a'gin me."
1 made a note of Mandy. She was
good material from a reportorial
standpoint. When I went out I asked
the warden who Mandy was "So
you've been talkin' with Washburn,
have you?" said he. "Well, Mandy is
his girl. They say she has been com-
ing down here from Paulding once
every year with petitions and signa-
tures to place before the board of
pardons. Yesterday Washburn's sen-
tence was commuted, which, by the
way, you will find by looking on the
press book." A picture of a faded lit-
tle woman who had asked me the
year before in the eapitoi if 1 would
please tell her what time the pardon
board met. rose in my inind. I said to
myself: "That was Mandy."

that all the doors have extra strong
fastenings on the day Ihe papers an-

and started out, leavin' .Jase to follow.
I walked out a little ways and then
looked around to see if Jase Was

hollered until I got all out of sorts

I jus' thought I'd shoot toward the

fetch him God knows I didn't mean

I looked at the man. and he was as
one in agony. His face was drawn,
and a pallor was there which added to
the prison tan and made it ghastly.

Having regard to Mr. J. M. Har-
ris's visit to Dumfries academy, tho
Courier and Herald of that place
prints somo extracts from thn noval-
ist's early contributions to a school
magazine called the Clown, which he
and some friends started. Young
Harrie writes some "Keckoloctions"
in the asumed role of a ••skoolmas-
ter" whose spelling is Artemus-
Wardian. In his second installment
ho complains that the editor "spelt
sum ol the wurds In ray last rec-
kollections rong," and he adds:
'•Altho, of coars, I maik jev allow-
ance for yoor eddukation n*S being
equal to mine, 1 hop you will bo moro
cairful." Kosuming the "Keckolleo-
tions," ho writes:
"I alwais open tho school with
prair, as I think it a vorry good
thing to do, and I got two skollars
by it. Now, my skollars havo gen-
erally verry durty facos. Well, ono
day in tho middle of my prair won of
the boys crept in belo tho tabel, and
wlion he was there nnuther boy cam
in at the door with a cleen face.
This was too mutch for the boy in
belo the tabel, and, ju3t as I had fin-
ished sayinjf 'And may they crie
from the botom of their harts—ho
shouted out 'Lord Alinichti, there's
Jock ^mith wi' his face washed!"
llero is an instance of how ef-
fectively tho lad could reproduce a
conversation. llolating a railway
journey tho schoolmaster says:
"On my rode wo passed tho river
•Aye.' A gentleman asked me,
•What river is that"
"I was meditatin', so I answered
abruptly, 'Aye.'
••The gentleman repeated his ques-
tion, and I, thinkin' ho had not
heard me, again replied 'Aye.'
" -Could -you—toll — me—what—
river—that—is?' ho roared into my
eer.
"1 again answerod 'Aye.'
•• 'Sir, said ho, 'I sea you want to
insult me!'
"I couldn't comprehend what he
said till another person in tho trane
informed mo that ho thoat that I
meant 'eh' when I said 'aye.'"
Here is another example well
worth giving:
"The minister of the town was sed
to be a good preacher, and so I went
to heer him on tho furst fSabboth of
tho munth. I went early, and their
wer only one person there who 1 saw

plied. -You impurnant skoundral

THE FRENCH SOLDIER.
Ill* Power of Endurance nnil III. Intel-
ligence—Untiring Energy.
There is ono quality in tho French
foldier which gives him a supremo
value. It has, by tho writers of his
own country, boen called endurance,
but perhaps that word in Knglish
hardly gives tho equivalent of what
is meant; it is rather a power of re-
cuperation and of extreme effort for
a particular object which distin-
guishes him, says tho Contemporary
Review. It goes side by sido with a
peculiar gayety which shows him tho
lighter view of the darkest case.
There is another quality—which in
days of short service and extremely
rapid action is of no less importance
— it is his intelligence.
Tho two combined more than com-
pensate for thoso qualities in which
the critics of othor nations find him
lacking. Tho conclusions, for ex-
ample, at which a casual observer
might arrive in regard to the march-
ing power or rapidity of a French
regiment, or the number of stragglers
'which it would leavo on a forced
march, or tho minimum amount of
food or sleep required by the men in
difficult circumstances, would, as a
rule, be entirely erroneous.
A type of man whom many would
considor the least able to onduro
fatigue is, on tho contrary, the most
severely tried and the most heavily
burdened of any soldier in the modern
armies. It has, indeed, been a criti-
cism passed by most military authori-
ties iu Kurope that the French line
has always carried into action a
weight which seriously impaired its
valuo. In 1870 this was certainly
the case, and even nowadays, when
everything in tho accoutrement has
been reduced to bare necessities, the
French private in full kit is expected
to march, and succeeds in marching,
with the weight upon him of every-
thing that will make him independent
of the impedimentajof the army.
It has been the policy of the
French military authorities at all
times to give to their infantry a mo-
bility superior to that of their oppo-
nents, and to effect this they havo
relied to the utmost upon the energy
of the troops at their command.
That this mobility will be of the
highest utility anil that its impor-
tance increases daily with the
changes of method which have been
introduced in warfare cannot bo de-
nied, and it Is a witness to the force
of the material upon which the con-
scription draws that the strain has
not proved too great under the hard-
est conditions of the maneuvers and
experimental marches bv which its
effects are te-.tod.
