For you must be careful not to* place temp- tation before the minstrels or their associates. A third rule warns you not to tip the ushers or otter inmates. Nor are you to carry any firearms. liquor* drugs Or \other contraband inside ,the vralls\ of the prison. And, When the show is over, you are to remain quiet until the members of the cast aud~thfrijs*er* Dhave been counted.\ \Serio-comic\ this paper calls the \attempt to treat A set of men who are under restraint for having broken the law aa if they were living under the game conditions as the mass of humanity.\ Sound penology is advancing. \Prison reform is on the way/' the Post holds, though adding: \But how, much will it be. advanced by tlie stag- Ing of a minstrel show at Sinft Sing which, owes its \kick\ to the fact that tbe cast includes footpads and murderers? To assemble an audience Whose members, having been instructed to leavti their valuables at home, shiver with dettgbt at the thought of what migfct be happening to them, if tbey were meeting one of the minstrels before them on a dark street may be magnificent; but it isn't the way to keep prison re- form, from becoming ridiculous\ Aa a people we are inclined to be sentimental. Some are ready to say that we are soft. But it is better to be eober ttian silly. It is always Bard to get tfhe so-called \prison re- formers\ to take a sober view. Undue severity ia not wanted.

OLD TIMER'S COLUMN I* Do yon remember 94 or 85 years ago when Tupper Lake waa without water for fire protection? At that time the place waa little more than an embryo lumbering hamlet and the only drinking water supply was obtained from, springs and/welTs scattered all over the area now -comprised In the village cor- porate ttmlts and predominating in \French Village\ (now Lakevfew suburb) and \Sears Hill (now 1ft. Morris View Heights), where near* ly every feouse: tuid ita own. water supply ia the yard. As the place grew, tbe unsanitary conditions due to lack of proper sew- \ age facilities, rendered it as tapera- j tive in the minds of doctors, health officers and town officials, to es- tablish an adequate water system teated at a time, by an utntru* t for fire protection and general use. I In 18IW a group of prominent townsmen engaged William taFoun- tain and James McBride, civil en* gineers, to mrvey in the ilt. Morris sector, 6 miles from the village, with the object In view of locating a water supply. After several routes had been laid oat, tbe matter WM shelved for that year. The same tblnr occurred again in 1808 and it was not till tte summer of 1890 that definite action, was tak- en and work started on a pipe line leading to the small body of water on the Mt. Morris slope, known as Cranberry Pond. This pond is fed by a few wnal brooks and springs and was deemed mtnt called tha audiometer. -• After detection, ot courae, comet treatment 8ometimee tbia la very aimple.

CL Who's Who in Washington BY CHARLES P. STEWART ^ • YOUNG Senator Robert M. La Fdl- tette takes himself with a aerioua- jiess sp intense that it attracts st- teriffo! Recently it has been especially re- marked upon (and, strange to say, •aughed at), due to young Bob's nec- essarily noticeable role aa chairman *nd examiner-in-chief of the senate committee engaged in investigating the desirability of a new government board to stabilize employment by long-time industrial planning. Many of the mightiest business po- tentates in the country have testified at these hearings. In its nature the inquiry does not lend itself to much mirth and jollity. Still, an occasional witness does essay to enliven the proceedings by a harm less pleasantry or so. Though the soul of politeness, the cold hauteur with which the senate's youngest member fiauelchea such frivolity would excite the envy of a supreme court justice. Nevertheless, folk chuckle -*- not only at \young* Bob,\ but also at the Invariably astonished manner of the rebuked witness, usually some old multi-millionaire, who, when he un- bends to crack a joke, expects it to be acknowledged by prompt convul- sions in the part of everyone within hearing:. And then came tbe dire calamity which wiped out the town and forc- ibly reminded one of the old adage, \Locking the stable after the horse ia stolen-.\ About 15 minutes before midnight on Saturday, July 20, 1880, the dread cry of \fire\ aroused the sleeping populace as fire was seen blazing fiercely in the vicinity of kerosene oil tanks at the King ani £age store, located on the present site of the Adirondack Bakery, At daybreak Sunday morning, July 90, the village was a isntdkiogr mass t»f ruins. All business plants and dwell- ings were destroyed from Lake Stret and the front to the rocky cliff extending from the corner now occupied by the P. H. McCarthy residence to the foot of the hill nt the present sites of Somers Garage and FredselTs store. RoUrt M. La F.lUtta . .

After 80s yearn have elap-wl, the wisdom of the, surveyors became manlfef*, who, in 1867-06 stated that the limited supply at Cranberry Pond would not suffice for the fu- ture growth of the town. THE SPIRIT OF CHKISTMAS That there is a spirit, peculiar to this reason, which moves among the hearts of people, there: can be no doubt. Whether this *pirlt moves men to a material and momentary corwideratioii ot the season, or ac- tuatefl them to a' purely spiritual ob- servance of the day we call Christ- mas, it all has ita origin in that im- mortal event occurring «o many cen- turies ago, when the Judeaa bills reaouadfd with the Angetk meaaage of peace and Joy to met* of food m That muntc has htcotnotha state • of tlie centuries, Tht tissiM for t]i ever-increasinK portion, of^ this psare ng adults and children hasr become the Spirit of Christmas.
