"A visit to the tailor shop would make casu-
al observer think that the average prisoner was
not unlike Nankipoo in the Mikado. Though not
a wandering Minstrel he appears to be "a

on turning over new leaves at this rate he'll have

The new editor was changed from cell with
a fixed table to one with a drOpable, bracket
table. This was up. his supper was on it; too

If the boys get to see Liberty park on indie
pendence day, they will hardly recognize it, so
great have been the improvements The swamp

1t is all prison work too.
Gate guard Crandal vows he will never go
up the st. CroiX in steam boat again unless he
takes the city water works along to flood the
shadows. The boat returning from TaylOr's

to drift back to the city. She got to the wharf
at am-Seven hours behind time.
Col. Clark Chambers, state prison agent,
signed bond for 81 800 for the release from GUS
tody of Henry Bliss. the waiter at the Merchants
hotel, st. Paul. held to the grand jury for the
alleged larceny of a diamond ring. Bliss served
a term of three years at this prison, and since
his release has borne good reputation up to

confidence should greatly encourage us all.
