. Several feaia ago a young man was
takeuto Stag Sing and happened to .be
placed In a remote corridor. ..Through 1}11
hto bars be cooid see nothing but the
stone wall of the building. Not eren s
window relieved the monotony frbm
hto viewpoint Inside of an. hour the
new prisoner was pacing his cell ..nerv-
ously. Two guards came in the even-
ing and sat down in the far end of the
corridor , to play checkers. The young
fellow could bear them talking in low
tones áud moving their pieces on the
board, but could see nothing. He called
to the guards several times and was
finally threatened with the strnltjack-
st it aoeined tb«t be wanted to be
placed in á cell' where he could aee
somebody pass. After the Wfnaoe of
the stralUacket the i-oyng prisoner ut-

'was found lying in the bottom'of hto
cell temporarily insane and almost
smothered. It was bis nerves which
unhinged 'Ids mind and would not let
him btoaihe. Apd this same young man
had mealed a peculiar daring >nd

A term of Imprisonment thesréasbly
intimidates a .man. The cell may not
always breed cowardice, but It invaria-
bly induces caution. In the majority of
cases It uanñws a man* mind, debases
hto morals, eats awuy Us spirit and de-
stroy hia Individuality. If a convict
has the faintest trace of suicidal mad
nesa in hito blood, confinement will en-
gender It Into a passion., and such a
passion preys with deadly acal and sub-
