There are fully six hundred feathered
Millers in llichicsa’s principal penal
institution. all owned and cored for by
the convicts. and as soon as daylightpp-
has on bright mornings their sweet
notes are hard in striking contrast to
the natural feelings of their owners. g
. Many of the most hardened criminals
who from their general appearance and
history would not be expected to care
for anything of a refining nature care
for and caress their little pets.
More than three-quarters of the cells
» in the prison contain one or more canar-
ies. and they are also found in various
shops throughout the institution. Dur-
ing the day the cages are hung outside
the cell to give the birds light and air.
but as soon as the convict. returns
from work at night the cage is taken in-
side. >
This practice has been carried on in
the prison for years. ‘and the officials
say that instead of any detrimental ef-
fect being noticeable the little sougsters
have proved a benefit, as they not only
give the cell a homelike appearance, but
they also wield a decided influence in
the way of humanizing the most reckless
and hardened criminal.
Beside being permitted to keep the
birds for the sake of their company and
influence. the convicts are also allowed
to raise them to sell. and many a dollar
is credited to the ”account of tho prison~
ers from this source. Of course the con~
vict handles none of the money realized
from the sale of the birds until he is dis-
charged. but it is placed to his credit ill
the prison bunk. ‘
It is interesting to walk up and down
the prison corridors and note the differ-
ent kind of cansrios in the cages. and
more particularly to hole the different
methods adopted by the convicts in car-
ing for their pets.
All styles of cages are to be soon. and
while one bird is provided with a veri-
table palace of a home and all the in} -
nries known in the bird world. the ono
in front of the next cell will have sim-
ply tho plainest wood or wire cage and
only the ordinary seed and water hold-
This is also true ill the shops. and
the character of the convict can in ul~
most every instance be Rufcly estimated
~ by the care he gives his feathered
friends.
Through the day the music of the
birds is hardly noticeable. although it
can be heard more or less at. almost any
time. but on a bright morning the song—
sters are pleasantly noisy. One of tho
ofiicials who has been connected with
the prison for a number of years says
that when he first came to the prison the
music of the birds in the morning made
him wild. but he has now become so ac-
customed to it. that the place would be
terribly silent without it.

Talking of strange freaks of tornadoes.
one of the best stories of that character
I ever heard is told by one of my old
friends, who vouchos for the truth of
' story. Several years ago a storm
. ‘ over the neighborhood where he
liVo. “danced about the country, but
finally a. ‘lown and scooped up abig
country but. i“ carried it away. Loav—
ing tho site of 1-. burn. it hit a barbed
wire fence and pulnl up the posts and
wrapped that fence up like a ribbon for
a quarter of a mile. leaving it wound up
in a spool as large as a hogshoud. Tho
strangest thing of the whole affair was
the experience of the owner of the barn.
He was livery wicked and profane
man. He was standing at the entrance
of the barn when it was hit by the
storm. l
The storm picked him up, swept him
acroas tho barbed wire fence, cutting
his face badly. and then dumped him
headlong into a pool of watcr.’ lic got
out. and as the storm left Hill to the
house. His clothing was torn. his face
cut. and he was covered with blood. and
altogether he was a frightful-looking
specimen.
He was not recognized by the mem-
bers of the family. They supposoll ho
was some man from Home othcr part of
the country. blown in by the storm. As
he ran into the house be full on his
knees and began praying and lsmooch-
ing tho Alllligllty to protect him.
This was something the family did
not expect. and Was an unliko- tho ac-
tions of the head of the famil y they felt
certain the man was an ontirc stranger.
They did not rocovor from tlloir terror
so that they recognized tho mall until
some of the neighbors. who had soon the
storm. came over to inquire as to the
extent of the damages. Some of them
recognised the wounded man and as
stated him in caring for his Wounds. He
was sotcrrifisd that he at once gave
them an earnest sahortation to right
nose of man against the elements and
the powers of the Summit-Kansas

Beautiful Devotion.
An Atohison man will bring suit for
divorce in the fall. on the grounds that
his wife makes life a burden by trying
to convert him. He will allege that she
kneels and prays for him before she
him up in the night to ask him if he was
feeling any lymptoms of a change of
heart. She will get her reward inheav-

of his legs had been sucriflccd to science
at ndrug store in the neighlmrhood by a
medical student. who had turncd his
victim out to die.
“He was so humble that when I was
about to shut my alloy gate on him he
enlisted my sympathies. I concluded
I would lot him stay around for a few
days. anyhow. At length ho got. coutb
