Should the days of last week have become
mixed up to some of the inmates. Ole of hospital

in his behalf 1t is to be hoped that he will never for
get the mother who was staunch friend to him
in his trouble; nor the answering devotion OF his
noble sister, Mrs. Levering, who labOred so faith
fully to secure his release. DIR. Reid and Mrs.
lowering were both at the prison on Monday to
accompany him to his home.

from the amount of physical exertion used by the
vigilant Murphy in scraping the ice of the top of

low, although it might take "Axel Paulsen" to
manipulate them on the parapet.
Mile and Louis Stordock agreed to celebrate
together last Friday evening their fifth and if
teenth birthdays respectively: and numerous
gathering of little folks at the Warden's house
the forepart OF the evening; while later on Louis
gave reception to his older circle OF acquaint-
ances. Every one seemed to enjoy the evening. At
times some fears were expressed as to whether
the roof would stay not.

Those who wish to see master piece of art
in stone-cutting, should look upon the very elab
crate and artistic flower vase just completed by
the adept chsel of Albert Cramer. whose exquisite
portrature of nature in the cutting of the leaves
and floral decorations is worthy the admiration of
all lovers of art. Although he seems to be in
delicate health he patiently and diligently ma
nipulates his mallet to some purpose; as this
piece of workmanship emphaticaly shows. He has
commenced on another. a fac-simile of the one
just finished and no doubt he has the good wishes
of all in his laborious undertaking.

Chaplain Albert took for his text Hebrews ii, 8:
''How shall we escape if we neglect so great sal
vation?"
This passage from the Bible has direct and
important bearing upon our present life. 1t does
not deal with the pronounced infidel but with
that large class of PERSONS who, while they really
admit the sacred truths fail to take advantage of
