BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
rs
ted
JIMMY! , Jimmy South-brcezc,
come Iicrc a minute!"
Mrs. South-brcczc called soft
ly through the trees till Jimmy heard
her and ca'mc blowing up to sec what
she wanted.
"I find I have to go on a little
southern journey," she said.
"Something about our winter home,
mother?" asked Jimmy.
"Exactly that," replied Mrs. South
brcezc, "but I'm not ready to take
you with me yet this is just a little
exploring trip. I'll not he gone more
than two or three days. You make
yourself busy and happy here in the
garden till I return."
"AH right, Mother," answered Jim
my, "and I'll watch for you every
evening."
And Mrs. South-brcczc blew away
toward the Southland.
"Xow I wonder what I'm going to
do first," said Jimmy to himself; "it
feels very queer to be alone in the
garden."
"You're not alone," whispered a
quiet little voice, "I'll stay and keep
you company if you like."
"Indeed I do like!" replied Jimmy,
warmly, "but if you please, who arc
you?"
A gay little laugh was his only an
swer. "Susy West-breeze!" exclaimed
Jimmy, half-provoked, "do you mean
to say that was you talking so sweet
ly and softly! The last time I saw
you you were ranting around the
garden in a regular hurricanel"
Susy laughed softly.
"Yes, indeed, this is your very same
cousin. You never can tell about us
Wcst-brcczcsl Sometimes we rage
and sometimes we smilel But I feel
in a very nice humor just now. Don't
you want to play?" And Susy smiled
and sang so enticingly that of course
Jimmy wanted to play with her who
wouldn't?
"Susy West-Breeze!" exclaimed
Jimmy, half-provoked.
"All right," he said, "mother has
gone away and I have two whole
days to do just as I please with."
"What do you want to do first?"
"Please, before you start playing,
won't you help me scatter my seeds?
Your mother promised her help, but
I guess she forgot 1" Now who could
that be?
Jimmy and Susy looked all around
the garden. It was the big old sun
flower back by the alley fence I
"Indeed wc will help you," replied
the breezes, "but how can we get the
seeds?"
"Just shake me real hard and they'll
fall right out into your arms," said
the sunflower.
Jimmy and Susy laughed, and then
shook that old sunflower till the
brown seeds rattled outl
All over the garden, the alley and
the lawn they scattered those seeds
so thoroughly that next summer the
garden looked like a sunflower patch.
So interested were Susy and Jimmy
in their seed scattering that they for
got about playing and worked all the
time till Mrs. South-brcczc came back
and told them they were two extra
fine children!

BLACKBIRDS AT ARDMORE
Public School Made Besting Place by
Hundreds of Them.
Ardmoro has been suffering from u
plague of blackbirds. Hundreds of the
birds havo settled, for a time, In the
vicinity of School lano and Ardmoro ave
nue, where a large public school wn-
located. They caused considerable dam
age, and residents finally appealed to
the police for the right to shoot them.
Captain of Police DonaBhy said that
would be against the game laws. So he
sent Charles Hall, janitor of the Station
house, to tho place. Hall and John
Struthers, Janitor of the school, climbed
to tho school house roor and tried to
frighten the birds oft by tiring blanks
from shotguns. Soon a flood of tele
phone messages were coming to Captain
Donaghy from residents of the neigh
borhood, complaining that two colored
men "wore shooting blackbirds.

'HE evening comes, the day is
done,
I have my little nightgown on.
Before my mother turns the light
And kisses me the last good night,
I kneel beside my cribby bed
And fold my hands and bow my
head ;
And while her fingers smooth my
hair,
She teaches me to say this prayer:
Dear God, I thank Thee for this day,
And health and strength so I might
play;
For light and love and pleasant food,
And for the times that I've been
good.'

I'm sorry for all deeds ill done;
I'm sorry for them, one by one;
Dear Father, may Thine angels
bright
Keep me from evil day and night.
When on my pillows I shall sink,
Of Jesus.Thy dear Son, I'll think;
For on His strong, His gentle arm,
No child of Thine can come to harm.
May parents, relatives and friends
All know Thy love which far ex-'

By day and night, asleep, awake,
To bless and help, for Jesus' sak,

This Wonderful Vessel
Has Made History
through three centuries. Sho marked the bo
bcglnnlng and tho end of England's monstrous
penal system.
Sho has held lurid horror and dreadful In
Irjultlcs beside which even the terrible stories
of the Black Hole of Calcutta and the Spanish
Inquisition palp into Insignificance.
Sho Is the oldest ship in tho world and the
only Convict Ship left aflo.at out of that dread
ful fleet of ocean hells which sailed the seven
seas In 1700 A. D.
Sho Is unchanged after all these years, noth
ing being omitted but her human freight and
their sufferings from the cruelties and bnrbarl
tles practiced upon them,
Aboard her are now .shown In their original
state, all the airless dungeons and condemned
cells tho whipping posts, the manacles, the
branding Irons, the punishment halls, the
lenden-tfpned cat-o'nlne tails, the collin bath
and the other llendlsh Inventions of man's bru
tality to his fellow-man.
From keel to topmast she cries aloud the
greatest lesson the world has over known In
the history of human progress

On Mnr .", 1012, Mr Arthur Brisbane, the distinguished
editor of tho New York Journal. In a full-page editorial,
which was reproduced in ten other leading daily papers
throughout the Stites. devoted his brilliant pen to a picture
of the Convict Ship "Success" as a lvld and striking lesson
in the progress of humanity and civilisation Describing tho
Convict Ship as n sad but valuablu It tson to the people of
America, he wrote
"When vou study thesp scpnos of cruelty nnd atrocious
torture, when ou realize they havo disappeaied forever from
the earth, except in isolated sangu corners of the world,
where men revert to animalism, and when you reall7e that
these scenes of cruulty, brutal as thev are. were as nothing
ns compnied with what precuded them, you realize that this
world POKS advance.
" Tt shows what government did to tho poor, tho
icnornnt, the helpless making them infinitely worse than
the were at first, even though the wore tho worst criminals.
We can tbnnk Ood that the Convict Ship, with
the men tortured and branded. Is today an ohlbltion, Intended
to educate and no longer a dreadful reality, planned to punish
and biutalize"
MIW A nitlv unit W.n. March :in. mis "America has rap
tured one of England's most historic ships one of the most
Interesting vessels braving tho breeze nt thn prosent da."
HOvro TR X'Nxrilll'T, net. i. una "I.t us senil this
convict hulk, this eloquent rebuke to penal svstoms, around
the world She is a floating parable of the crimes of man
against man And when she has finished her mission, search
out tho deepest soundings in tho Pacific and there sink her
and the thing she signifies in a thousand fathoms of dis
honored oblivion"

CAPT. D. H. SMITH,

My Dear Sir: Your ship and her equipment of old instruments of punish

outgrown during the past 100 years. I am very glad that the people of
Massachusetts have had this opportunity to seo tho strides that havo already
been made towards better methods of treatment, for think your exhibition
will act as mi added Incentlvo towards tho further Improvement of our Insti

exhibition of these horrlblo and obsoleto prison methods.

My Dear Sir: After my interesting visit to your ship today I nm
prompted to say: Public opinion in our day would not tolerate such Inhuman
treatment of unfortunates anil such cruelty as was practiced In tho clays of
tho convict ship "Success." It has become the great power of tho world nnd
ITS VOICE MAKES THRONES TREMBLE AND GOVERNMENTS

My Dear Sir: I write to oxpress tho pleasure I enjoyed nnd benefit
received from a visit to the "Success." It carried one back not only to u
different time, but to entirely different sontlment.s in roference to those who
are nlwajs talktng uhout the good old times. In truth, the world Is not only
progressing, but is getting better, and many good people havo waked up to
the conclusion that one crime does not make u ciimlna! or bar him from
becoming a good citizen unrt useful man.
I trust that the "Success" may be isltert 1 many people and the
contrast between the old unil new methods of treating those who haa
violated the law result in good of socletj. I, and those of my party, hiciilv
appreciate the courtesies Miown us while on your ship.

THE CONVICT SHIP WILL NEVER AGAIN BE SEEN IN PHILADELPHIA
Your opportunity to visit is NOW. If you do not seize it yours will be the regret at not having seen the greatest

Today a five-cent cartare brings you alongside the oldest and most notorious lloating prison the world has ever known.
Do not miss this profound illustration of the most vital factors in the betterment of the age. During the s,hort period
