The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1893-11-02

The fiat has gone forth that second grade
men are to have no syrup on Tuesdays and Satur
days because of the greedy use of it by many to
sweeten their coffee.
Mr.. Jas. McCalman, superintendent of con-
structiOn of the state prison at Deer Lodge,
Mont, visited our Office Monday during an in
spectiOn of the prison.
Part of the construction gang are at work
cutting out an ice cave in the sand rock north
east of the dollhouse. 1t is hard on the picks
and puts them out of temper.
The state BARRIERS are getting proud; they
seem to object to shave the dollhouse lawns.
Uncle Tom was doing it for them in a most ar
tistic manner Tuesday afternoon.
The editor feels that he is drawing it mildly
when he expresses the thanks of the prisoners
to Mrs. PiersOn and Mr.. Evans for the intense
pleasure received last Sunday from their singing
Mr.. Linblad. our mill-right, was called upon
last Thursday night to repair the broken belt of
the cty's street-car power. 1t took him nearly
all night but it was done in good shape for morn
ing travel
The prisoner sending paper to John StrOm,
313 18th Ave. S., Minneapolis should change the
address to 1926 9th Ave. S.. and the paper adj
dressed to Richard Willie should be addressed to
Bertha, MINI.
One of the southern men thinks that the ed
itor does not know painter from a Whitewater.
He is mistaken. The state painter is short, the
state whitewaSher filling a manifest economic
destiny, is long.
The ariStOcrat who turned up his nose at a
good ten cent cOrn-cOb pipe is putting too many
frills in his conversation for our humble Four
Hundred Ten cents a dozen pipes are good
enough for I'VE unS.''
Mr.. Chas. Browne. formerly bOok-keeper of
the Thresher Co., now auditor of Washington
county. accompanied by his wife and the Misses
Efie Mansfield, Belfast Maine, and Phoebe Pal
mer. of Bangor, Maine paid us a visit Wednes-
day.
S. j. Peterson from Elbow Lake, Grant Co.,
returned to Saltwater on a visit last week after
twenty-fOur years absence In calling on his
nephew who has charge of the foundry he took
in THE MIRROR Office in passing.
They have samples of real estate in the pre-
paratOry department of the Irvine shop from
Ohio. Kentucky and Nebraska just at present.
The dirt flies there. and on such view they
should be very busy just now.
The deputy's court passed upon 1919 reports
on prisoners during the six months ending Oct.
31st. OF course all these did not entail marks or
punishment. During this period the third grade
sunk to its lowest ebb, o. on July end. and highest
flow. PC, on Oct. 9th.
Mr. Bronson is rejoicing over the recovery
of peculiar machinist's hammer made by him
SELF. 1t became misapprOpriated and was found
,x RrNn ,,ntO nc
cialties in future or. like Mr.. Hemstreet's lizard
attach them to chains and pins.
One Leg having seen that One Lung is among
the contributors to THE MIRROR believes he
can at least try to do as WELL He is welcome.
THE MIRROR has no objections to dismem-
bered unfOrtunates. The sOlace of its pages is
free to all good men and true who believe that
the future can be made better than the past.
No miser's clutch in death can hold
The strings he has eer refused
To loose to part with boarded gold,
That in life he ne'er we'll used.
Naked he came. 50 shall he go
Back home to the mystic land,
Where rich and poor alike shall know
The truth of the Master grand.
The papers from the South are each marked
to six cells. They have just six days to circulate
If any man fails to read his paper when received
or pass it to the exchange box next morning he
rObs his neighbOr of his newspaper. 1t seems a
small Ofense to the careless man who fails in
his duty but it leaves an awful gap in the life of
the man who loses his paper.

R. c. says: Hope is the food of the soul 1t
is the longing desire which is to the soul what
food is to the body. Take away mans hope and
what have you left: raving maniac who can
not be recovered except by infusing new hope'
Which is good enough as far rs it goes. But
"hOpe deferred maketh the heart sick" Hope
must have some backing. What?
