Strana 87 - January, in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven, no person in any such prison, penitentiary, jail or reformatory, shall be required or allowed to work, while under sentence thereto, at any trade, industry or occupation, wherein or whereby his work, or the product or profit of his work, shall be farmed out, contracted, given or sold to any person, firm, association or corporation.
Strana 5 - Philippine' Islands into citizenship of the United States, nor is it intended to permanently annex said islands as an integral part of the territory of the United States ; but it is the intention of the United States to establish on said islands a government suitable to the wants and conditions of the inhabitants of said islands...
Strana 362 - ... neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
Strana 57 - ... and I was both, along at first. Then I went over to the great arms factory and learned my real trade; learned all there was to it; learned to make everything; guns, revolvers, cannon, boilers, engines, all sorts of labor-saving machinery. Why, I could make anything a body wanted — anything in the world, it didn't make any difference what; and if there wasn't any quick newfangled way to make a thing, I could invent one — and do it as easy as rolling off a log.

There was no haste, no crying, no hesitation. They were glorious.
Strana 43 - We sat there like stone while he rushed forward, the drumming of his hoofs unnaturally loud in our ears, for we had stopped shooting, and the Turks had stopped. Both armies waited for him; and he rocked on in the hushed evening till only a few lengths from the enemy. Then he sat up in the saddle and cried his war-cry, 'Tallal, Tallal', twice in a tremendous shout.
Strana 44 - In a madness born of the horror of Tafas we killed and killed, even blowing in the heads of the fallen and of the animals; as though their death and running blood could slake our agony.
Strana 92 - ... by placing the prisoner's fate, as far as possible, in his own hand, by enabling him, through industry and good conduct to raise himself, step by step, to a position of less restraint; while idleness and bad conduct, on the other hand, keep him in a state of coercion and...
Strana 231 - I've got something to talk over with you. AND THIs is THE END OF THE STORY OF THE GADsBYs. L'ENVOT WHAT is the moral ? Who rides may read. When the night is thick and the tracks are blind, A friend at a pinch is a friend indeed, But a fool to wait for the laggard behind: Down to Gehenna or up to the Throne He travels the fastest who travels alone. White hands cling to the tightened rein, Slipping the spur from the booted heel, Tenderest voices cry,
Strana 52 - Bloody brute'. I hooted out again, and he smacked me over the face and stalked off, leaving me more ashamed than angry, for in my heart I felt he was right, and that anyone who pushed through to success a rebellion of the weak against their masters must come out of it so stained in estimation that afterward nothing in the world would make him feel clean.
