Mr. Pou expects it to exceed/1,500 in another month or so if it keep growing as it has been for the last four months. It increased 75 in November and for the first 24 dayH of December it has jumped half a hundred. The annual appropriation of $527,- 000 was figured to operate the prison and care for a population of 1,200 with the aid of "old' man economy," but the excess of over 200 prisoners wilt necessitate some-more pinching, Air. Pou said. Whether the pinch can be carried far enough to stretch the appropriation even further is the big problem. “We are at a disadvantage when compared -with other institutions for the reason that when they rcuch the capacity . of their accommodations I they can refuse to admot a greater number,” he explained, "but we can't turn them back when the Judge sends them to us.” A Sunday school teacher was asking her class what was meaur by a man possessed of c\ - i 1 spirits.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE Bar CHARLES P. STEF ART NEA Service Writer Washington, Dee. 29f—One hears quite a bit about -the congressional "smart set.” Also it’s referral to sometimes as the “fast set.” One can get into it, too, at a^irice. It isn’t particularly exclusive, but it's pretty expensive. That’s why it’s mainly purely congressional. Washington's permanent officialdom isn’t well Enough paid to afford such i society. / ** * A good many very well afford it, either. To be sure, they’re paid SIO,OOO a year now; as compared with only $7,500 last session. It’s quite a difference. Still, the “smart set” appears to be living up to it. Maybe rather more so. A few rich men set the pace and it makes the others hump to keep up with it. * • • “So-and-so ought not to „keep the company he does—it's too swift for his bankroll.” One hears that- remark . lots of times. They say there are congressmen whose credit’s none too good at the department stores. Ten thousand a year isn’t enough tomain taiie-an otherwise impecunious “smart setter’s” smartness and pay ordinary bills with likewise. f * * Os course a great many congress men—doubtless a large majority— lead very staid, quiet I* v ®» at the cap ital. or put l in the suburbs. It's the “smart set,” however, that’s most noticeable. The r folks back heme would open their eyes if they could see some of their representatives en joying themselves in Washington. * * t, The very fact that the “smart set’s” away from home probably is one of the main reasons why it’s so “smart"—even smarty. A certain type of persons -of impeccable deco rum in the midkt at restrainingsur roundings tend* to go on the rampage, tacking such influences. Nearly ev erybody's a little that way. /’flirown—You’re married, aren’t ?ou? Jones—Yes-$ Brown—Weil what do you do when your wife says she has noth ing more to say?

This poem is often accredited to Load Lytton but most authorities sty it 'is the'work of J L. JtcGreery, au thor of a volume entitled “Songs of Tail and Triumph" published ia 1868. There is no death! The staAi go down To rise upon some other shore. And bright in heaven’s jeweled crown They shine forever more. There is no death! The forest leaves Gonvert to life the viewless aid; . The rocks disorganize to feed The hungry moss they bear. There is no dfath! The dust we tread Uhall change, beneath the summer showers. To golden grain, or mellow fruit, Or rainbow-tinted flowers. There is no death! The leaves may fall The flowers riffly fade and pass away— They only wait, through wintry hours. The warm, sweet breath & May. There ; s no death ! The choicest gifts That heaven hath kindly lent to earth Are ever first to seek again The country of their birth; w / And all things that for growth or jsy Arc worthy of our love or care, Whose loss has left us desolate, Arc safely garnered there. Though life become a desert waste, We know its fairest, sweetest flow ers Tran-planted into paradise, Adorn immortal bowers. ' The voice of birdlrke melody That we have missed and mourned so long Now mingles with' the angel choir In everlasting song. There is no death! Althongh. we grieve When beautiful, familiar forma That we have learned to loVe are torn From our embracing arms— Although with bowed and breaking heart, With sable garb and silent- tread, We bear their sinseleHS dust to rest. And say that thev are "dead—” /■ They are not dead! They have but pained Beyond the mists, that bind us here. Into the new and larger life Os that serener sphere. They have but dropped tlieir robe at clay To put their shining raiment on : They have not wandered far away— „ They are not lost, nor gone. Though disenthralled and glorified. They still are here and love us yet; The dear ones they have left behind They never can forget. • And sometimes, when our hearts grow faint Amid temptat’ons fierce and deep, Or when the wildly raging waves Os grief or passion sweep, y. .• Feel upon our fevered bfow* p Their gentle touch, their breath of Hhlm, Tlieir arms enfold us. and our hearts Grow comforted aiijj calm. \ And ever near us, thougli unseeu. The dear, immortal spirits tread— For all the boundless universe Is life—there are no dead! 1 Restaurant proprietors probably will be interested to learn that an amazing machine has been invented with which a piece of cheese measur ingvqine inch in each direction can be cut into twelve thousand slices, and thus make a monster sandwich, for the c'aeese would then cover com pletely a piece of bread ten feet long and eight feet wide.
