OUR LIFE SENTENCES
a wonderful era, and it is
doubtless true; but how
much good does that do uJ
if we are chained, either
through force of circum
stances or our own volition
.to a treadmill? Whenever
we devote ourselves more to
the pursuit of things than
to the enjoyment of them ; '
whenever we forget or are !
unable to take time to look
for beauty, love, companion
ship, recreation, whenever '
the prize grows to mean j
more than the game then i
we are wasting our capa- i
bilities as tragically as any j
lifer in the land.
Freedom to live isn't just
a matter of prison walls.
There are other fetters as
effective. The convict isn't
the only man who deserves
your sympathy.

Jesse Pomeroy, America's
most famous lifer, has just
completed the 52nd year as
an inmate of the Massachu
setts state penitentiary.
In 1876 he was convicted
of a crime so atrocious that
even today he gets little
sympathy. He was ordered
imprisoned for life; and,
strangely enough, he has
clung to life so tenaciously
ever since, even though he
has never fpr a moment
known any surroundings ex
cept the prison yard and
cell.
When he entered prison
Grant was president, Mark
Twain was just winning re
n tj w n. Rockefeller was a
small-time oil broker. Ford
was an undistinguished son
of "a farmer. Custer's defeat
at, Little Big Horn was the
news of the day. The auto
mobile and moving picture
and radio had not yet come
to remake American civiliz
ation. All of the stupendous
events of the last half cen
tury have made no impres
sion whatever on Jesse Pom
eroy. He has eaten and slept
and grown gray and wrin
kledyet, to all intents and
purposes, he has not been
aliye t all.
We can't think of that,
somehow, without a shiver.
We congratulate ourselves
on' the mere fact that we
have our liberty and can
live fully and with freedom
and we pity the man who
has been stagnating for the
last half a century.
Yet just how free are
we, after all? How many
of us are being overlooked
by life just as truly as if we
were held in priscn?
The tragedy of the lifer
lies in the fact that all his
possibilities for real living
can never be realized. Made
in. God's image, endowed
with some small spark of
unquenchable divinity, he is
reduced to the bare animal
functions of digesting and
sleeping. This is the most
terrible thing that can hap
pen to any man. '
But it happens to many
people who never saw a
prison.

It takes a wise man
be a judge these days.
The other day a man was
brought into court in New
York for violatfttg a traffic
law. The judge imposed a
fine of $5, at which the mo
torist remarked that he
would, prefer, - instead of
paying it, to surrender his
car. Amazed, the judge ask
ed him why. The man re
plied that he hud only paid
$4 for the auto, a wheezy
old thing made eight years
ago.
Justice is justice, and the
law must be upheld; but
paying a $5 fine on a $4
car is too much. Even the
judge admitted it. So after
due thought, he suspended
the line and told the motor
ist to depart in peace if
he could make his auto go.

Mornings are drilling thins
lu Havana. The sun shone on
castles and forts aud houses of
rainbow hue. It sparkled on the
autre sea. and the colored boats
that rode the waves.
Sybil and Mabel stood at Die
rail, spellbound with the beauty
of it. And. when they had caught
their breath, they laughed ulond
for very Joy.
Natives put out In bjats to
greet them, and sudors on the
lower deck scrambled for little

of long ear rings. Little golden

"Oh. they're beautiful!" Sybil

He took her arm possessively.
"We're going up on the boat

we come back?"
"See that you come back!" she
admonished him curtly.
"Mallei's awful upset because
I didn't go to bed last' night,"
explained Sybil as they sauntered
off. "I don't blame her either.
She feels sort of responsible, you
see."
"Never nilnd Mub!" he ex
claimed. "How , about getting
married this morning?"
"Oh, Itichard. stop!"
They were on the deserted up

take her lu his arms, she pushed
him petulantly away."
"For goodness sake," she cried,
"let's talk about something else!"
"But, a darling." he insisted,

marriage are twins lu your sweet

VALUE OF BOXERS
Tex Rickard tells his
stockholders in Madison
Square Garden corporation
that the passing of the million-dollar
gate for prize
fights is not such a bad
thing after all.
Tex points out that box
ers, of recent years, have
been making scads of money
while promoters have been
going broke. Now that .mil
lion dollar gates are over,
he feels that boxers will
take a much saner view of,
the value of their services.
The moral aspects of the
thing didn't concern Rick
ard, apparently. Yet the
new era is better, all around
for it "was not a healthy
thing for a country to be re
warding pugilists at the rate
of half a million dollars per
fight. It gave us all a false
sense of values. If the hired
pug can drop down a few
notches in the financial
scale it will be better for
all of us.
o
The old boy who says
women aren't as attractive
as they used to be might
add that watermellons and
green peaches have lost
their appeal also.
o
When we write our sce
nario, the hero who knocks
out fourteen rogues won't
continue the picture with
unbruised knuckles.
o
The writers never go on
strike. They know too well
that many kids are ready
to quit the sixth grade and
take their jobs.
