Now 1 have

the best jail
they ever were ui. They nil
sny the. warden could go out
on his own itntl open tip nil
independent jail, and would
have it, filled in no timevith
men tliat appreciate the bet
ter type of jails. They don't
kick on associating with
bankers and even politicians,
but don't want to be in thft
same jail with spies. Now t
know Mabel, and I know my
friends in there, and' I just
want to get it settled if '
can.. It will just ruin that
jail, cause every one nf them
write li.it', if its kept up, they
would never go back to that,
jail again. Ho do what you
can for 'em, Mabel.
