and deserves to be court-martisled.
Would any other officer dare to refuse

THOSE HARD-LUCK STORIIS.
r—li— '
How secretory Taylor. of the Itsts
Prison Association, Treats
Tales of Woe.
Few men In Hartford who hold pub-
ilc position, receive more calls from
wily graficrs with hard-luck stories
than does John C. Taylor. of the (inn-
iiecticut Prison association. The p0-
licc and the charity board Officials
come in for their share of plaintive
tales, and there is no telling how much
of this sort of thing the patient and
uncompiaining clergymcn have to en-
dure, lint Mr. Taylor's. position is
different from that of most offlCinifl.
licclluso his cities as secretary of the
prison association makes his a target.
The Connecticut Prlslon association
furnishes aid to all men who are dis.
charged from the state prison; it gives
them s new outfit of clothing. some
advance, hoard money, and what an-
sistance it can in securing employ-
ment. If a discharged prisoner is a
carpenter, and Springfield or some
other city happens to have a building
boom on. he is told where to go. lie
is also told to consider the prison as-
wolutiou his friend. and that if he
really wants to become an upright
citizen. yet should find himself re~
duccd to such straits that he is tempt-
ed to leave the straight. and narrow
path by sheer necessity. he can appeal
to the association and will be helped
again. in this way the association
has put hundreds of good men on their
feet during the past twenty-five years.
starting them ovcr again after they
have made a misstcp and have stoned
for it. Funds for this work are pro-
vided by an appropriation from the
state, and by occasional gifts from
benevolent persons who are Interested
in reforms. The majority of the pris-
oners appreciate the aid of the associ-
ation. and the secretary has letters in
ills otiicc I11 which the prisoners have
gone down on their knees. figuratively.
in thanking the association for what it
has done for them. The most of this
work falls on the scorclary. and upon
him rests the responsibility of expend.
ing wisely the funds entrusted to his
care.
Among the large number of men dis-
charged cach year at the state prison.
naturally there are, sortie who have no
sense of appreciation, and no desire to
reform. ()n this class Secretary 'I‘ay-
lor keeps a sharp eye, and does barely
what is necessary for them. Soon
after they have been discharged from
the institution_snd have been given
the customary assistance. they are
back for more, And they keep com-
ing. The fairy stories which they tell
in order ‘to get aid are refreshing be-
cause of their originality, but usually
it does no good. because they find a
firm secretary there to cross-question
them like a lynx-eyed lawyer. A dia~
logue which Secretary Taylor had
with one of the unappr‘eclative ones.
Tuesday, was heard by a Times re—
porter. ‘
The stranger told the usual story
of hard luck, out of work, no money.
and wanted only his fare to Boston.
Mr. Taylor “sized him up" for a mo-
ment and then began:
"What is your name?"
“Donald."
“Why did you come here?"
"i did time down below, you know."
“When?“ ' ’ ‘
“Six years ago."
“Oh. yes; for burglary. Well Don-
ald. what have you been doing since?"
"Working at my trade as stone
mason."
"Get union wages?"
“ Yes. sir."
"Worked right straight along, and
didn‘t serve time anywhere else?"
“ No. sir"
“Well. then. how much money have
you got in the bank?"
“Me? Why. I haven't got say."
“What did you do with It all?"
“Well, to tell the truth, i blew it
all in." ,
“Donald. how many drinks have you
1nd this morning?“
“Why. Mr. Taylor!"
“Come now; own up; how many?"
“Well, you see, I was sick when i
got up. and I took just two because
me stomach wasn‘t just right."
”'l‘hat‘ii do." said Mr. ‘Tayior. “I
can't help you. You admit. that you
have been working more or less stead-
ily for six years at good pay. and
have blown in all you earned. You
can't you expect others. to help you?
And to come here after drinking. 1
never do anything for a man who has
the odor of liquor on his breath."
“But I only took two drinks, and
l‘m sick." ,
"Very well," answered Mr. Taylor.
“We never turn a sick man down,
here. Just step down to the Hart-
ford hospital and get examined. and
if you are ill they will put you to bed.
and the prison association will pay
the bill." -
The visitor wilted at this, and took
his departure, but he did not go in
the direction of the hospital. '
The discharged prisoners do not
know that the prison association keeps
informed as to their behavior. When
a man who has been aided by the as-
sociation, and who is likely to call up-
on it again for help. locates in a city
or town. Secretary Taylor immediate-
ly secures a representative for the as-
sociation in the locality, Usually the
representative is a cicrgymen or some
reliable official who is willing to-do a
good turn in a worthy cause. ln_thls
way. the secretary keeps in touch with
the prisoner. and if he is undoservtng
and asks for aid, the reply is sharp
and to the point. This information
bureau also reduces the liability of
refusing a worthy applicant at a time
when a few dollars might. tide him
over a critical place and prove the
making of him. '
