Will amount to NOTHING

Jones wants the story of the bear.
For the benefit of Jones only, we give
the story complete. There was once a
a named Jones. He claimed to be
an editor, but of that there is great
doubt. Jones was a great nan (iu his
W estimation) and a man much
thought of and respected '(by Jones).
His chief occupation was to initiate
himself 10 the utmost capacity of his
skin and then expell the wind With
a great noise. This was an exceed
angly pleasant occupation Ito )onesl
and for a time frightened the people
greatly. They soon found however
that the great noise was nothing but
wind and did not portend anything
direful. Jones followed this Ito him)
1eaSant occupation without cessation
e learned to endure it with
as a man entertains a
mall poy. After the presl-
ri erection IN 1888 and harrison
elected Jones inflated himself
more than ever. HIS immediate
neighbors became alarmed for Jones
'swell" seemed 50 much worse than
usual. He got black in the face, his
eyes wore forced from their sockets.
his breath came painfully slow and Ia
bored, a crisis seemed immincnt-it
came; but Jones did not die, he did not
even collapse but with q voice like
the mighty thunder. that shook the
mountains, he snorted forth "See how
|, me, l, elected Harrison.' and all the
people held their hasrassed ears an(
moaned forth amidst their dcsolation
"Jones. the great Whatnot is saved
and the country with him!'

PRISON LEGISLATION.

The Monday evening session of the senate
was devoted to the consideration of prison
affairs. After material amendments SEN
ator SanbOrn's state prison bill was recon-
mended to pass. The bill was taken up
again Tuesday and after some farther
amendment was passed by a vote of SO
to 9. The bill as passed provides that the
control of the prison shall be vested in a
board of managers to consist of three men,
bers to be elected at the next general cleo
ton, and that the governor shall appoint a
board of three members to serve until their
successors are elected. It directs the man.

respective applications therefor, at the act

the manufacture of the same not including

In the afternoon Representative Keyes'
bill to prohibit contract labor in the state
prison was brought up in the house and
after much discussion was recommended
for passage. The bill provides, in brief.
that no contract shall hereafter be made for
the letting or leasing Of convict labor or
shops. grounds or fixtures belonging to the
Minnerota state prison, to any person or
corporation whatever. and that at the ex-
piration of the present contract the con-
tractors vacate the prison shops and
grounds. The bill also provides that the
convicts shall be employed on state account
at such work as the prison management
may provide.

OUR DEBT TO NATURE.

The price Of wealth, of fame, of happi-
ness is labor. You may have wealth with.
out personal labor, but you cannot have the
other two blessings unless you dig them
from the mines with your own hands,
Never make the mistake of thinking that
the good things of earth are prodigally
thrust upon mankind by Nature. Nature
is most CAREFUL dealer. and she always de
mands her pay in advance. The gifts of
Nature we enjoy but little. for they are
common to all humanity. It is what we
purchase from her store by our toll that we
value. If we should depend on Natures
bounty for our daily bread we would starve.
If we would eat from her store she bids us
60 into her fields and cultivate the corn; if
we would protect our bodies from the
weather she tells us to 20 spin and weave:
if we would dwell in houses, 60 hew the
timber and stone; if we would wear precious
jewels, go dig them out of the earth and
fashion them to our liking; if we would un.
derstand her mysteries in the heavens above
and the earth below, 60 search them out
Nature tells us that if we will not labor We
shall not live, and she tells us that those
who labor most shall have most, and thai
those who labor least shall have least-and
Nature never lies. Reason tells US this
is true. and history confirms it on every

NOBLE POLTCEMAN.

1t is not often that we have good word
a grudge, but Officer Patrick Sheehy has
won our admiration by his heroic conduct
at the great fire in Chicago Sunday evening.
The first intimation the people in Kohl &
when the flames burst into the room where
concert was going on. The 300 panic
stricken people made wild rush for the
door and many would have been crushed to
death-'but," says the account. ''the emer-
gency brought out hero in the person of
Policeman Patrick Sheehy. Forcing his
way through the frightened people, who
were madly retarding each other in the jam
at the exit, he stationed himself at the head
OF the stairs and drawing his revolver de-
clared his intention to kill the first person
who refused to obey his ORDERS" His BRAY
cry and determination quieted the panic,
and everybody reached the street in safety.
A man capable of doing what that officer
did, is worthy of something better than be
ing policeman. That was brave, but
what he did afterwards showed his superior
manhood and greatness of heart in truer
light. AS soon as he had seen the people
safely out, he went up to the third floor.

made an opening wide enough to admit OF
the escape of the little animals, whose
fright was almost human. The creatures
when liberated wildly scampered about the
room for while, and then, to the intense
chagrln of Sheehy. who was risking his life
every moment, rushed up stairs and were
burned to death. The policeman was
forced to grope his way out through blind
ing smoke and reached the street dazed and
nearly unconscious" By this act Officer
Sheehy has earned and should receive the
finest medal ever awarded by the humane
society. THE MIRROR is poverty stricken,
but it has dollar that it would like to con-
tribute to fund for purchasing a golden
heart for that officer as big as his own heart

held in Indianapolis. May Is to 20. The
fact that Oscar C. McCulloch is the pres

meeting. All persons interested in the sub
jects there discussed will be heartily well
come. The programme presented this year
will be one of great value. The papers to
be read will treat of subjects of immediate
and vital interest. There will be ample
time for discussion. and there is no doubt of
the attendance of persons admirably quail
fed by experience and ability to join in the
debates. From the favorable location and
the interest already manifested there is good
reason to hope for one of the largest, if not
the largest, gatherings of the kind ever yet
held.

The biennial report of the Missouri peni.
Tertiary has been received. The prison has
a population of nearly 1.7O0. which we be-
lieve is the largest number confined in any
prison in this country. There has been a
decrease of 2O6 prisoners since November,
1889, but there is no cause assigned for this
decrease. In speaking of the discipline
Warden Morrison says: 1T is the desire of
the majority of men to do right, and in this
respect the penitentiary is not unlike the
outer world. A village of 1900 people has
it's turbulent and quarrelsome citizens. No
more and no less may be said of the prison
population" The warden is in favor of
classifying the prisoners. More than fifty
per cent of the prisoners received in 1882
80 were between the ages of 16 and Is and
the warden says, ut is certainly worth an
effort and an expenditure of time and
money to attempt the reformation of these
boys" and he adds, that under their present
system they can only expect to turn them
out worse men than when they we're re-
ceived

page. Our own lives attest its truth. The
only names written in the book of fame are
those of the men and women who eXcelled
as laborers-who labored beyond their
own needs for the good OF their fellow
beings. All that makes life worth living is
what Nature gives man in return for his
labor. Nature makes lavish display of
her wares just as our merchants do, to
tempt our desires. but we cannot enjoy
them. any more than those of the mer-
chants. until we have payed for them. Do
not be deluded by the fallacy that life free

A few days ago death stole in through
the bars and released one of our fellow
prisoners and sent his soul back to Him who
gave it. We know not what the mans life
had been before he entered the prison. but
if every man could leave his last dwelling
place on earth with as good record as
Charles ReardoR took with him from this
place, we do not think that good st. Peter
would turn him back from the great gate.
