TIIE CITIZEN, Fill DAY, JUNE 10, 1011. PAGE T convicts m TH Colorado Builds Roads Without Ball and Chain. HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS OUT Prisoners Reduce Their Sentences by Road Wori Only One Escaped In a Year Another Ran Away, but He Came Back. Out In the mountains of Colorado they've been building roads -with man's honor. Much rock, many teams and some concrete, of course, wore used In constructing tho smooth high ways that now wind along the Iloynl gorge and other mountain passes of the state. But honor, says John F. Shafroth, governor of Colorado, built the roads. "We tried utilizing our convicts in road building under the ball and chain method," Governor Shafroth said, "but It was too expensive. The guards cost more than tho roads were worth. Then my warden, Thomas Tynan, in troduced n plan which I believe Is go ing to solve tho rock road problem. "Convicts build our roads still. But there Isn't a guurd or a ball and chain around tho road camp. The warden calls a convict Into his room nnd gives him a talk on manhood. It generally winds up like this: 'Now It's up to you to make a man out of yourself. I'm going to give you a chance. Italso your right hand. (The convict raises his hand.) Now swear before Al mighty God that you won't violate your pledge and run nway.' The man swears, nnd that Is all there Is to It." How does that build tho roads? The convict Is sent without guard to one of the road camps. Here he goes to work along with a number of other convicts. There are two overseers, engineers, at tho larger camps to di rect tho work. But there are no guards. The man is on his honor not to run away. To encourage the convicts at their work Warden Tynan takes ten days off n man's sentence for each thirty he works on the roads. Instead of be coming pale and emaciated In prison the men finish their terms, Governor Shafroth says, browned, full of hope and ready to begin life all anew. The roads cost Just what the men eat and the salaries of the two engineers to direct them. The road along tho Eoyal gorge, which contractors said would cost $50,000, required an outlay of Just $0,000. Lost Just One In a Year. "The first year wo tried the honor system we lost Just one prisoner," Gov ernor Shafroth added. "And we had more than 300 convicts out at work on the roads without guards. Another ran away, but surrendered. The ward en had lost all hope of catching Urn when he received a letter postmarked from Michigan. 'I don't mind my es caping,' tho convict wrote, 'but It's been worrying mo nearly to death my holding up my hand and swearing be fore God that I wouldn't violate my pledge to you. I'm coming back.' "The officials who had boon at the prison under the old system laughed. 'You'll never see him,' they said. The morning came of the day when the es caped convict said he would be back. Sure enough, he failed to arrive. At noon the guards began to ask the ward en about his man. 'Just watt, ho answered. One o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 passed. No man came. The warden still hoped. Just five minutes before the prison gates closed for the day the man arrived. He had paid his own railroad fare clear from Michigan to return and complete his sentence." KLEPTOMANIAC CURED. Bone That Pressed Brain Bump of Thievery Removed by Surgeons. Mrs. Jean Thurnher, a. twenty-two-year-old kleptomaniac of San Francis co, has been reformed by means of a surgeon's knife. The young woman had served one term of a year In San Quentln, but soon after her release was arrested charged with stealing Jewelry, ner case was brought to the attention of Dr. H. N. Rowell, who diagnosed her aliment as bono pres sure on the brain. Ho took out a sec tion of bone over the frontal part of tho brain, removing pressure which was believed to have been tho cause of her uncontrollable pilfering tend ency. Tho operation was conducted under methods followed by Dr. Horsley of St. Bartholomew's hospital, London, and of Dr. Cushlng of Johns Hopkins. Tho young woman has now fully re covered from tho operation and will bo released on probation. She says she Is changed and no longer feels the over whelming Impulse to steal things. She will bo taken to the country, and tho surgeon predicts a complete cure. Chile's Nitrate 8upply. Tho available supply of the nltrato fields of northern Chile has been re cently computed to bo 2452T00 tons, or sufficient to oopply; tho world's needs for fifty years. Aq of the Earth.

Financier Gets Costly Collection to In still Patriotic Lessons. To teach his young son, heir to mil lions and all the responsibilities whicj go with a large estate, the principle of patriotism and love of country nnd to serve as a pictorial panorama ol the great events In American history Marsden J. Perry, the Provident (R. I.) financier, philanthropist and art coJlector, has had placed In his New port summer home what Is called the finest collection of colonial prints lr this country. As a central figure In an elaborate system of training, worked out befort his birth, Marsden J. Perry, Jr., Is tin subject of one of tho most costly ex perlments yet recorded. The collection of prints prnctlcnllj covers the salient points of the Unite ' Stales' early progress. The wars, the trinities, the famous scenes In thf courts and on the battlefields, are a! denioted. Where Every One Is a "Majesty." Who are the politest people In Eu rope? If common speech Is any crite rion, surely the Spaniard must carry off the palm. The author of "Heroic Spain" tells of many high flown phrases still In common use. You bid farewell with "Beso a V. la mano" (I kiss your hand) or "A los pies de V." (I am nt your feet). The Usted, short ened to V., wifb, which you address high or low, h? a corruption of "your majesty." Tho love of abbreviations Is a curious trait In a peoplo with such leisurely wnys; thus a row of cabalistic letters ends n letter: S. S. S. Q. B. S. M., which means that your correspondent kisses your hand "su seguro servidor quo bosa su mnno." A King Who Could Changs the Wind. IClng Errlcus of Sweden publicly confessed that ho was n sorcerer nnd magician. Ho was the owner of an enchanted cap, which ho pretended en abled him to control tho spirits and change the direction of the winds at pleasure.

A native of one of the most western of the United States of America was crossing the Atlantic In rough weather. One morning lie went up on deck when a big gale was blowing.
