If reports are true, there is no perse-
cution recorded on the pages of history
during the darkest days of the middle
ages that can compare in devilish
cruelty and barbarian outrage to the
recent butchery of the Christians in
Armenia by the Turks and kurds. Rape
and murder seems to be the essential
virtues of the Moslem faith. Will the
Christian Nations of Europe and Amer
lea tolerate any longer these atrocities
of the half civilized MahOmmedans
1t is time that liberation ceased to be a
virtue

WE THANK all our readers today for
their generous and most encouraging
patronage during the past year; and
pray. that, at every fireside where our
little paper finds welcome, there is no
vacant chair; that as Thanksgiving and
praise ascend on high it will be from
united and happy family circle.
If we, in our humble way, have con
tributed, in the least degree, to your
entertainment during our connection
with THE MIRROR. we owe it to the
great good will and assistance of
our brother inmates, who, by their
unsolicited aid have supplied the
matter that has made our columns
entertaining or interesting. We owe
them deep gratitude for their kindly
assistance. To the many who by word,
and letter, and more particularly to a
generous press, we feel deeply grateful
for the encouraging and magnani
nous praise SO frequently bestowed
upon us. While we are modest, and
donot seek aggrandizemento Or notorety,
we cannot but feel that some of this
praiseis earnestly and heartily bestow-
ed: and we speak for every contribu-
tor to THE MIRROR, when we say, we
appreciate the commentator so freely
given. We shall ever strive during our
connection with The MIRROR, to make
it speak the best thought of the convict;
to urge upon the prisoner the cultivation
of the truest, the highest manhood; and
try to tear down, so far as our feeble
efforts may, the obstacles that obstruct
the upward path of the convict
TO this end, we call upon all our friends
to aid us by their subscriptions; and
to encourage others to subscribe who

thanks. Their exchanges have chased

The LitchfieId Independent in a

The Litchfeld Independent in a
recent issue says:
1--WE have observed the healthiest place
i'm Minnesota. People scarcely ever
die there. 1t is little nook in the St.
Croix valley, little dell surrounded by
towering hills. 1t has a population at
the present time of 522 souls, besides
a hundred or so who do not stay there
continuously. During the past two
years there have been only three deaths
in this community, and but little sick
ness has prevailed. The place we refer to
is the state prison at Saltwater. The
dircipline, steady work, steady diet,
stay at hOme-night features OF this
establishment demonstrate that these
factors are conducive to good health
Wonder what it is that makes people
so shy of this resort? We should think
with so many healthfuI attractions, and
the rates so low, people, especially those
seeking health resorts would like to
live here. Perhaps it's the ''stay at
home-nights" feature, and a few little
et-ceteras, the Independendent does
not mention. that keeps our popula-
ton down. Verify, Saltwater is healthy
We know of 500 men however, who
would cheerfully exchange places with
pest-hOuse attendants, Asiatic cholera
nurses, or innumerable other things
without asking bonus.

WHEN a young man graduates from
college nowadays, or dies while yet a
student of some university, he is
mOurned, not as a promising scholar,
or as model companion, but,
because he was a good ''back- stop"
or, as severe loss to the VARSITY team. -
\ prominent college journal in chroni-
cling the death of student, in recent
issue, gives the date of his birth; the
date he entered college, and when he
hOped TO graduate, winding up the
obituary with "He was one of the most
promising players on the Varsity foot
ball team and those who knew him best
esteemed him most" esteemed as foot
ball player is to be presumed, as not a
word commendable of any other virtue
appears. Is it to be wondered at that
so many Of the college bred young men
of today are simply mediocre; and the
majority become Anglomaniacs, and
dudes: their highest ambition, to infiict
an eye glass and rolled up trousers on
society? In our fathers time colleges
were maintained to educate the mind
and turn men out to better the cOndi-
tions Of the world; today, collegians
break their necks kicking a foot ball
and make a mockery Of the English
language.
