The following is the substance of
a true story recently told by a gen
tleman who had been one of the
prison commissioners of the state of
Connecticut:
“Some 30 years ago, when I was
passing the state prison at Wethers
field, 1 notice the gate open and a
man came out The teats streamed
from his eyes as he stood perplexed.
“ "Where now, my friend?’ I asked
cheerfully,
“‘I don’t know sir. I dou’t sup
pose any one wants the anywhere.’
I am walking to
Come with mo.’
“It was a warm day in early May. j
The poor convict opened his heart to
me and told me what brought him
to the penitaiitiory. It soon came
out that the Convict had made shoes
in prison.
“ ‘I think I know a man,’ said I,
•who will hire you in his factory,
and if were iu your place I woald not
lisp a word about baying been in
prison.’
“ ‘You have been kind said the re
leased prisoner, turning away • with
quivering lips. 'I must say goodby.
I cannot longer live and he. I pro in- j
iscd God last night in my cell that
when I came out I would be an up
right man and take the consequences
a'nd I will keep my word.’
“ ‘Forgive me for temptiug you at
the outset,’ I said. ‘Come on.’
“I saw my friend the manufacturer,
and told him the whole story. He
had a little talk with my man and
made a bargain with him- That
night just as the shop was about to
close we three went into the work
room.
“ ‘Here is a poor fellow who was
discharged from state prison this
morning,’ said the proprietor. ‘I am
going to give him a start in life by
taking him-into the shop.. He begins
work tomorrow,’
“There were indignant glances
among the men, and * one spoke up
hastily:
“ I shall leave if he stays. I will
not work with any jailbird.’
Very well,’ said the employer.
‘Any one who wishes to leave will
have a bill-of his time '.u the morn-

POCKET MONKEYS.
If you want something novel ii
the wav of a pet, buy a pocket mon
key. The little creatures belong to
the species known as the marmo
set. Their slender bodies are about
five inches long and are covered with
a soft coat of brown fur. The ex
pressive face—the size of a shilling
—is surrounded by a sort of hood of
white or light fur, which has the ap-
Dearance of an elaborate head dress.
Pocket monkeys cannot bear the
cold. They like snug little nests,
where they cuddle up aud keep
warm, and while they sleep the tail
is wound about the neck like a boa.
They oome from the interior of
Venezuela, where they live in the
hollow tranks of immense trees.
Small negroes are lowered into tbs
trunks to catch them.
