eyes of his bride. She admitted on the

laudable purpose of being am old mans
darling. But she found she didn't like

Friendship.

Friendship is one of those subjects on
which much has been written. A great deal
more has been written than is understood
about this topic.
Perhaps Dante's definition of friendship
is the shortest and best one of all. He was
asked by the Prince of Corona how the Fact
was to be accounted for that in the house.
hold of princes the court fool was in greater
favor than the philosopher.
similarity of MIND is the cause of friend
ship the world over" was the fierce reply
of Dante, thereby mourning the eternal en-
nifty of the Prince.
There are many cases that separate
friends. One of the chasms that part
friends is sarcasm. Another is borrowing
money. Make friends with your creditors
if you can, but never make a creditor of
your friend. Some persons look for per-
lection in friend. They are doomed to
disappointment. Whoever looks for a
friend without imperfections will never find
what he seeks.
Josh Billings definition of a friend is
good. 1t reads as follows:
"A true friend IL one whom yu kan chide
for hiz faults without giving Offense, and
who without giving offense kan chide yu."
Texas Siftings.

The parole system is beginning to have
its trial in Wisconsin. Two burglars were
sentenced for maximum term of ten years.
BY good behavior they are released on pa
role at the end of two years. but are re-
quired to report every month. If they fail
to do so. or are detected in any unlawful
behavior they are reincarcerated. This is
an English custom which works well. The
Elmra Reformatory in New York has
made it very helpful measure in treating
young criminals. If men show themselves
worthy OF freedom they are given it with
out restriction. After few years training
they are more likely to continue in their
integrity. IN northwestern PRESBYTERIAN.

THE PRISON MIRROR is weekly paper pub
lished in the Minnesota state prison. All matter
published in its columns is contributed by the
inmates. except that properly credited. Its sup
port must come from the outside as every inmate
is given a paper without cost. 1t is published in
the interest Of the prison library and after paying
for the printing outfit, contributed $3.50 to the
library fund the first year. Its objects to en-
courage individual intellectual effort, provide a
healthy journal for the inmates Of this and other
prisons, and, above all. to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
its inner life and thus aid the cause of moral ad-
vsncement and prison reform.

a good citizen are almost hopeless The
