How Prisoners Read.
"It Is rather pathetic," said a prison
chaplain, "the way our inmates read
their surreptitious newspapers. It ic
bad for the poor fellows' eyes too.
"It Is iifiainst the rule for them Ic
read In their cells, and In the cell door
there are peepholes, to which the Jail
ers eoine noiselessly, seeing that all
the rules are enforced.
"The prisoner who simply must road
pastes with a bit of porridge his Jour
nal up against his tell door lieiicatl)
the peephole. He sits down on the
floor a yard or two away and holds his
dustpan In one 1mm! and his brush In
the other. In this awkward and weari
some position, his eyes nearly popping
out of his head from strain, he reads
nwoy for dear life.
"Aud when the Jailer's cold, hard
eye peers In through the peephole It
misses the paper and lights tip with
some faint approbation at the sight of
the prisoner polishing up his Hour."

The One Man.
A man who was summoned for beat
lug his wife tried hard to put all the
blame upon his mother-lu-law aud was
chlded by the bench for his lack of
gallantry.
"Why should It always lie the fash
ion for a man to malign his mother-in-law?"
the magistrate remarked. "Is
chivalry quite dead among us? I
knew n man once who never spoke an
unkind word to his mother-in-law, nev
er blamed her In the least for his quar
rels with his wife and never had the
bad taste 1o complain about her to oth
er people."
The wife beater stared open mouth
ed as he listened to the recital of the
domestic paragon's virtues. Then he
said: "Oh, yes, I've heard of thut fel
low before. Ills name was Adalu!"
