No, my boy, the deadest man on earth
is not numbered in Father Times har-
vest. You cannot find his tombstone
in the cemetary, neither does grassy
mound mark his lowly bed. His last
resting place was cracker box in the
grocery, and there he will remain dead
to activity. dead to friendship and dead
to his home ties until Gabriel shall
awaken him to a more active life in
future world. Boys, don't stagnate,
don't be living corpse, don't vegitate-
like any other cabbage head. BE some
thing. Make every minute count.
Why, | would much rather be first
class corpse, with my body nurturine
the green grass above me, and taking
my chances of developing into the liyli-
est kind of an angel lover there than
to exist in such mental fog of stupid
ity, as if the undertaken had judged T
was not even worth cot1in-Ex.

Six years in state prison is the sentence

the defrauding of thousands of Ameri-

that he is enjoying much warmer eli

Warden P. B. LamOreaux of the
Waupun, Wis.,, State Prison, has caused
to be published in several papers, a
notice to the effect that owing to the
prevalence of smallpox the precaution
is taken to exclude, until further notice,

intent and purpose. Exceptions is
made only when the visitor is accompa-
MED by the certificate of the health
officer that the applicant does not come
from any affected neighborhood, nor
has been exposed.

Assistant County Attorney Hall is
to be commended for his statement re-

not have been allowed to stay in jail.

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. It's objects are: to be a
home newspaper: to encourage moral and intel
lectual improvement among the prisoners to
acqrlaint the public with the true status of the
prisoner; to disseminate psychological informa-
ton. and to aid in dispelling that prejudice
which has ever been the bar sinister to a 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 he expended in
the interests of the prison library.

Billy Deutsch, ''the man who broke
the bank of Monte Carlo" has just died
at Denver in extreme poverty. His ex-
plot at the famous gambling den
brought him large fortune. He was
notorious the world over and thought
himself genuine social lion. He spent
his money freely, gambled recklessly.
and ultimately went broke in Denver.
For some time past he has been practi-
cally a pauper. His life and death
again illustrate the dangers of sudden
wealth acquired by questionable means.

deputies to assist him when needed,
