IN AT PENAL Hf" Superintendent Says Number Now Below Average Pris oners Soon Get Fat. News-Time-; Special Servi er OLIii:iY?. Ind., Jan. 12. Charles F. Talkington. former super intendent of the Bartholomew coun ty schools find now superintendent of the penal farm, delivered an address he fore the Bartholomew county teachers' institute and described the workings of the state farm. He said Z() more men are needed there to carry on the 'work. i lie penai larm now o.is oui oiu v . . . . l r i i pin pri ciuTs and this is below the aver au'e. .upt. Talkington said that nearly all prisoners at the penal farm are doinK well, that every man there unless there is something radically wnm? with him Kains an avira'-;e of 10 pounds the first month he works on the farm. The penal farm is not jet self-sustaining and will not he for a few years, the superintendent says, but he asserts it would come nearer be-in-r self-sustaining at the present time if more money had heen pro ided to develop the natural re sources of the place. He says a hig supply of lime stone is on the farm and 10 carloads of this could be shipped daily if the farm officials had the facilities for getting out the stone and loading it. Produce Stored for Winter. A Kreut deal of farm and garden produce was raised on the farm last summer and stored for winter use. Counting the farm's own products at the present market value, Mr. Talk ington said, the state is paying hut 10 cents a day for each prisoner's food. He points out that the county sheriffs are allowed 4 0 cents a day for feeding jail prisoners. The pay roll at the farm amounts to $40 a day now, but even with that expense the superintendent ligures that prisoners are being kept at the state farm more cheaply than they could be nattered in the county jails. How ever, this does not apply to the pris- i oner who grets a sentence of but a few days. It does not pay to send a ! eration, the two hinds, passive and man to the farm for less than 30 active.

Take Tilde In Work. Many of the prisoners take great pride in their work, Mr. Talkington says. One gang is digging a conduit through the farm, another is making a three-mile railroad grade, and smaller gangs are doing various jobs about the place. One small gang of negroes has been building a wire fence, and this gang has not been under surveillance except that of a crippled negro, who is known as the boss of the men.

"There's no secret about happiness in marriace," said a famous man on the occasion of the golden anniver sary of hi.s wedding. Yet by his next words he proved that there is a secret, a double secret, of such happiness and he ave it. "My wife has always let me alone on accasions and I have let her alone Then when she saw I needed help she ask nie what she could do for! me and did it. When she was not exactly pleased with anything I ask ed her -what I could do to help her. That's all." All of the secret of happiness In consumption. Although opium is a ers and philosophers and poets and playwrights, all the married and un married, are striving after and of which some are ready to abandon the search in despair. There are many persons in marriise, and some out of it, who are convinced that happiness cannot be found in that state, only resignation. Here comes the man who ends use a. padlock of silence is the mis- tre.s of pTactieilly any matrimonial situation. For ill timed words are oil on the tlan.es of discord. They are the fat in the fire. They are salt In wounds. They are din to tired nerves, a heavy hand upon a hurt. The man who knows that to ask ' a tired woman, "Why did you do i this?" is to make her want to hurl j dishes at him doesn't pay it. He ! waits until she is rested, smiling, un- hurried, at peace with the world. They are great physicians in the family circle who know the healing of quiet. There are times when to say: "Can I help you." is to offer an ai'front. Hut there are other times when it ays "Peace, be still" to whirling winds of the soul, especially if there be children in the household. There are men should we call them so? who think it unmanlv. 1 I beneath their lordly dignity, to help ! to take care of the children. Such of children, and always allows men to look upon the little ones as more disturbers of their rest, creatures that "raise a row while a man is trying to read his newspaper."

I should be sorry for any , poor whlpper snapper who deserved : punishment at his hands. They are big and strong enough to crush yet tender enough to wipe away tears of a child.
