After visiting THE MIRROR office the
association, under the guidance of War
den Wolfer, Deputy Warden Lemon,
Asst. Deputy Glennon, Clerk O'Brien,
Managers Hall, Norrish and O'Brien,
assisted by Judge Nethaway, proceed
ed to inspect and view every depart
ment of the prison, giving free vent to
their surprise and wonderment at the
cleanliness order and clock-work disci-
pline which they beheld. The workings
of our great Irvine shops came in for a
large share of their praises and admira-
ton, and was unanimously conceded
to be the greatest and most advantage

After viewing the several depart
ments of the prison the association
were assembled in front of the Deputy
Warden's office where they were photo

AS the noon hour was now at hand
the vast concOurse were ushered into
the officers spacious dining rooms where
they partook of a most sumptuous re-

walters. At 1 40 p. NJ. the special train
which had been in waiting, pulled up
in front of the prison. and our honored
guests soon being ''all aboard pulled
out for the Twin Cities. Thus, out of

editors who were, but few days since
confined beneath the cold gray walls OF
the Minnesota State Prison, we are the
only one left to tell the tale.

The present hard times will serve as
a reminder that we must be more eco
nomical and prudent in our methods or
living. The sun cannot always shine,
nor can prosperity always strew our
pathway with the good things OF life.
Clouds will overcast and hide the earth
from the warmth of sunshine, and re-
verses will never cease to bring occa-
sionaI distress and unhappiness. But
we can so regulate our affairs as to bear
with reverses if we are prudent and
saving in times of prosperity, and we
must never forget that providence helps

with petty offenses and who plead
drunkenness as the cause of their trOu-
bic, when brought before the courts, are
given their choice between term of
imprisonment and the Kelley cure. This
is good law and should it be univer-

HORACE GREEDY PERRY

The name above recorded is that Of
one of Minnesota's most prominent and
promising young journalists. Though
not an immediate descendent of the
great and famed journalist whose name
she bears, she is fully worthy of all the
honors which the name implies. Miss
Horace Greedy Perry, editress and pro-
prietress of the St. Peter Journal is a
sprightly little lady who has, as yet,
scarcely reached the age of maturity, a
prominent and active member of the
State Editorial Association of which
organization she is the daughter and
pride. Little Horace" as she is famil-
iarly called, is beloved by all who know
her, for her noble, selfsacrificing devo-
ton and successful endeavors to pro
vide and maintain a happy home for
her aged mother and loved ones, through
the medium of her chosen profession
Miss Perry is not only an accomplished
and progressive writer but is also d
practical printer, often laying aside hel
pen for the printers rule and stick which
she handles with the utmost ease anC
dexterity. At the recent editorial con
vention Miss Perry was elected an alter
nate to the National convention, rec
ognitiOn and honor which she richly
merits. The Minnesota State Editoria
Association may we'll be proud of its
noble little daughter who has so bravely
and heroically assumed the arduous
labors and possibilities of journal
istic career and whom. we fain believe
is destined to inscribe in letters of gold
upon our country's history, the Thrice
honored name of Horace Greedy Perry
