THE MIRRORS old friend, S. A. Lam
gum, of the Preston Times, lays aside
the senatorial toga and returns to the
humble vocations of private life with
out regret. Like man who has pass
ed through great dangers, he seems
thankful that he has escaped the temp
tations of large city and the contain
nations of legislative life with unfair
nished character. In recent issue of
the paper, he says: "The 'old man has
returned to his scissors, paste pot and
delinquent subscribers this morning in
time to take hand in shoveling coal
and mailing the papers. And we are
right glad to be with you once again; law
making isn't what il is cracked up to
bet is accompanied by more worry
and unkind criticisms-yea even more
than falls to the lot of a newspaper
man.

A curious exhibit is being prepared
for the Worlds Fair by the French de-
partment of police. Implements that
have been used by all manner of Grim
inals in their operations, and weapons
used in notorious murders, will form an
important part. The method of French
criminal procedure will be illustrated
by series of wax-work tableaux, de-
plotting the "histOry of crime The
courts of justice, prisons, ETC., will be
thus shown. The morgue will be repre-
sented in fac-simile. NJ. Bertilon. chief
of the anthropometric department. will

Four detectives and four policemen will
have charge of the exhibited.

Our bright little contemporary the

change which recently took place in the
administration of the Kansas peniten-
tiary, concludes thus:

pires rise and fall, dynasties crumble to
dust, and revolutions sweep DER
earth like troubled visions above the
bosom of brooding Sleep-but the
Great and Good and Only I'rusty shall
continue to materialize every Thursday,

TO THE Il" BOYS"

The position we have been called to
is not of our seeking, and it is with diff
fdence rather than overweening conf
dence that we enter upon our new and
untried duties. We realize that we lack
many of the essential qualities which
enabled our predecessors to edit THE
PRISON MIRROR so satisfactorily to their
readers and so creditably to themselves
and the prison management, and we
would have been glad had the RESPONSE
bility, the cares, the petty annoyances,
the harsh and often unjust criticisms
which are the inevitable portion of the
prison editor, fallen to another. We
have pretty clear idea of the difficult
ties with which we will have to contend,
but we have learned in the hard school
of experience that the sensible plan is to
do the best we can in whatever situa-
ton we may be placed, and endeavor by
persistent effort to overcome the obsta-
Giles which lie before us. This plan we
shall continue to follow, but, comrades.
without your cooperation The MIRROR
will fail to accomplish it's mission.
When the announcement was made that
a newspaper published within prison
walls would make it's appearance ask
ing share of the public patronage, it
created surprise, and considerable curl
osity as to the nature of the publication.
OF course it was generally predicted
that it would have only an ephemeral
existence, but when it was conclusively
proven that the inmates of the Mime
sofa State Prison had not only the enter
prise to found, but also the the ability
to edit and publish newspaper, the
public became interested, and have
generously aided us in our efforts to
rise above our surroundings, by giving
as helpful words of encouragement.
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1893-05-11

and liberal patronage. To keep alive
this interest, and retain sufficient of the
public patronage to enable us to meet
expenses, we must make bright, inter
esting paper, and this can be done in
the future as it has been in the past if
we will join heartily in the work. The
interest manifested in our paper is due
to the fact that it is prison publica-
ton, its columns being open to every
inmate confined here, and we overshoot
the mark if we attempt to make it any
thing else. 1t is not so much by elabo-
rate essays showing evidences of liter
airy talent, or by learned discussions on
sociological and pathological questions
that we will best accomplish the origi-
nal purpose for which our paper was
established; but rather by writing on
familiar topics in simple, concise Ian
guage, that the public may know the
tendency of thought of those who are
paying the penalty of violated laws.
Now, comrades, whatever others may
say, 1 have ever found you generous,
and l ask you to take hold of the work
The mental effort will do you good, and
you will have the satisfaction of know
ing that you have done your part in
showing the good people of the outside
world that, criminals and outcasts as
we are. we still have the feelings homes
and aspirations of men.

The famous Libby Prison, which was
removed from Richmond to Chicago
in 1889 and converted into a war mu-
scum, will be an interesting attraction
to visitors at the Worlds Fair in Chi
cago. The structure is filled with inter-
esting war relics which represent the
work of half lifetime and the expend-
iture of half million dollars. The
collection is said to be second to none
in the country.

voted to newspaper work in the North
west has demonstrated the fact that he

THE PRISON MIRROR is weekly pa

per published in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t
was founded in 1887 by the cOnvicts and is edited
and managed by them. Its objects are: to be
home newspaper; to encourage moral and intel
Iectual improvement among the prisoners; to
Scquaint the public with the true status of the
prisoner; to disseminate pathological informa-
ton. and to aid in dispellng that prejudice
which has ever been the bar sinister to fallen
mans self-redemption. The paper is entirely
dependent on the public for its financial sup
port. If at any time there should accrue a sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests of the prison library.

BRONCO BREAKING.
A Proceeding That Ia Full of Action and
Excitement.

A Proceeding That Il Full of Action and
Excitement.
A loose, sandy SPOT is chosen for the
breaking of the "bronco," the name by
which the wild horses of California and
Arizona are known. Squealing, strug-
Cling, biting, kicking, buclling, rolling
in the dust, and n double back somer-
sault-thcsc arc parts of the grand per-
formance whenever Il bronco is broken
to the saddle. Capt. Bonrl1e describes
in his book, "On the Border with Crook, -
the fun and excitement associated with
breaking "bDncos" by troop of
United States cavalry
The animal was first thrown, blind
folded, and then the bride and saddle
were put on, the latter girthed so tight
ly that the horses eyes started from
their sockets. Then, armed with n pair
Of spurs of the diameter of Il soap-pIatc
and mesquite club big enough to fell
an on, the Mexican ''vaquero" got into
the saddle, the blinds were cast off, and
the circus began.
There would be one moment of doubt
MS to what the "bronco" was going to
do; now and then it might seem for a
few seconds as if q really mild-man-
nercd stecd had been sent to the post
10y some mistake of the Quartcrmaster's
department. But this doubt never last
ed very long. The genuine "bronco"
can always be known from the spurious
one by the fact that when he makes ND
his mind 20 "bucl1," he sets out upon
his work without delay, and with vim
that means business.
II there were many horses arriving in
IL "bunch," there would bc lots of fun.
The men would mount, and amid the
encouraging comments of the lockers
on would begin the task of subjuga-
ton.
Tho bronco nearly always looked
A'ound and up at his rider with an en-
preston that was bcnignant; then he
would roach his back, get his four feet
punched together, and await develop
ments. If the rider foolishly listened
to the suggestions OF his critics, he
would always mistake this temporary
paroxysm of docility for fear or lack of
spirit.
"Arrah, thin, shticls yer sphurs int
him, Moriarty," some foolish bystandcr
would call out. No sooner did the rider
heed this evil advice and strike the
bronco's tanks with his rowels than
the air would be filed with q revolving
mass of name and tail and flying hoofs.
while the Irishman would shoot like a
meteor into the sand and pillow it up
with his chin.

DlMlNuTloN Or THE INDIAN.
WITH Him VIII Also Pass Away n Lot Of
Scoundrcls.

With Him VIII Also Pass Away Lot OF
Scoundrcls.
Much melancholy literature, prose
and verse, has been INDUCED in about
the decay of the Indians; how they are
fading away like the mist on the noun
tain, the snow on the plain; mere
handful left of once mighty nations,
and this feeble remnant the white man
is driving into the Gulf of Mexico, the
Pacific ocean or some other deep water.
This diminution of the Indian census is
a sad truth, but there remains the con-
ISOLATION that, with the disappearance OF
the Indians, will disappear the worst
lot of scoundrels, white and mixed, that
ever cursed the earth.
1t was noticed, says the Kansas City
Star, that at u recent payment of gov
ernment money to Indians at Anadarllo,
the Indians came many miles in the bit
ter weather and suffered indescribably
in the camps to draw their money, end
that whisky peddlers and gamblers
reaped nearly every cent of it in few
hours. So it was in the beginning and
SO it will be as long as an Indian lives a
ward" of the government; when the
last Indian is laid in his grave it would
be boon if the last Indian robber were
hung above the humble sepulchcr.

HANDLING A HERD.
Skill and Daring Needed by the Successful
Cowboy.

cRitI hnu Daring Nceueu DS the SUcccsSIuA
Cowboy.
The task of the drover and his assis-
tant cowboys in getting the herds from
the southern ranches to the northern
shipping points was one involving both
skill and daring. The daily programme
was rs regular as that of u regiment on
the march From morning until noon
the cattle were allowed to Craze III the
direction of their destination, watched
by the cowboys in their relays The
cattle by this time were uneasy, and
We're turned into the trail and walked
steadily forward eight or ten miles
when at carly twilight they were halted
for another Craze.
As darkness came on they were gath
cred closer and closer and closer into II
compact mass Ivy the cowboys riding
steadily III constantly lesscning circles
around them until ut last the beasts
lay down chewing their cuds and rest
ing from the days trip. Near mid
night they would usually get up, stand
awhile and then lay down again, hav-
ing changed sides. AT this time extra
care was necessary to keep them from
aimlessly wandering off i'll the dark
ness. Sitting on their ponies or riding
slowly round and round their reclining
charges the cowboys passed the night
on sentinel duty, relieving one another
at stated hours.
When skies were clear and the air
brac;ng the task of cattle driving was
pleasant and hcalthful one. But
there came rainy days, when the cattle
were restless and when it was anything
but enjoyable riding through the steady
downpour Then especially were the
nights wearisomc and the cattle wcro
ready at any time 10 stampede.
No one could tell what caused a Siam
pede any more than one can tell tho
reason of the strange panlcs that attack
human gatherings at times. A flash of
lightning. cracltling stick, a VOLTS
howl-littlc things in themselves bat
In moment every horned head WAS
lifted and tho mass of hair and horns,
with fierce. frightened eyes cleaning
like thousands of cncrals was of.
EcciSlessly, blindy, in whatever
direction fancy led them, they went
over bluff or morass, it mattcrcd not.
and fleet We're the horses That could
keep abreast of the leaders. But some
could do it, and lashing their ponies to
their best gait the cowboys followed at
brealnecll speed. Getting on one side
of the leaders the effort was to turn
them little ut first, then more and
moro, until the Inference of :.
great circle was being described The
cattle behind blindly followed a,pl soon
the front and rear joined and 'tnil,-
ing commenced Like u mighty mill
stone round and round the bcwiidcred
creatures raced until they were wcaried
out or recovered from their fright.
But the cowboy, with his, whit. wide.
trimmed hat. his long lcathcrn cattlo
whip, his lriat and his clanlSing sprr,
is now fling of the past.-Scribners
