THE PRISON MIRROR has entered its
ninth volume. The excellence Of THE
MIRROR has been SO frequently noted
in our columns that we could, at the
best, do little more than repeat what
has been said heretofore. 1t is the same
clean, clear sheet that it has always
been, within our knowledge of it, and
with age IS losing none Of its valuable
qualities. 1t is an excellent paper, both
in regard to its contents and appear

best that find their way to our table.

on the side of truth and right conduct
and cannot be otherwise than beneficial

THAT wonderfully successful, and eX-
ceptiOnaIly able institutional journal,
THE Prison MIRROR, has started upon
its ninth volume. THE MIRROR seems
to grow better and still better with every
succeeding year, and with every change
in its editorial management. Every
editor whose "time is OUT IS succeeded
by another inmate Of the institution,
and it would seem that the Minnesota
State Prison is full of brains, of supe-
riOr order. How so many men capable
of filling the editorial chair of THE
MIRROR happen to be there is the CO.
nundrum beyond possible solution, by
Ourself at least. 1t must be they were
convicted of dunning a delinquent SUBJ
scriber, when in the outside world. or
something of that nature-or else were
sent up for publishing spring poetry
out of season. At all events, the boys
have our heartiest good will and wishes.
May they "change' so fast that very
soon there will not be one left in the
prison who is capable of working the
roller or spading out the Office with the
tOWel.-The Riverside.

THE Northwestern European Edition
of the Minneapolis Times is the most
complete write-up of the agricultural,
mining and numbering resources of the
Northwest that we have ever seen. 1t
is finely illustrated, and also contains
numerous maps and much statistical
information. The completeness with
which everything pertaining to the
Northwest is portrayed, makes this work
of great value to the farmer, miner,

A LADY recently visited the Reform
School at Plainfeld, Ind, and was given
every opportunity to examine into the
workings of that institution. Shortly
after her visit she wrote an article for
publication on what she had seen and
heard, and the officers of the school feel
that she has repaid their courtesy by
wilful perverslon of facts. We give
few of the lady's deductions and leave
our readers to judge for themselves. OF
the singing she says:
Il had often heard that the voice of
the criminal is rasping and gutteral,
becoming so from the constant use of
the dreadful tones of passion a song
by even these youngest criminals
proved this and was perfectly terrible
to me-"
How terrible are the effects of crime.
The treble notes of children ranging in
years from twelve downward being
"rasping and gutteral" "from the con-
slant use of the dreadful tones of pas
siOn.' 1t is true the officials of the
prison say that these little boys "sing
sweetly." They also say that these
boys are no worse than others of their
age, but were sent to the School to
save them from evil associations
ing unfortunatei in their home surround
ings. One more example of feminine
logic will suffice.
Il do not believe in the Reform
Power of any sort of reward for good
conduct"
All human action is based upon the
hope of reward. The child in infancy
is taught that good behavior will be re-
warded and bad conduct punished
every mother of a large family of small
children inculcates these precepts by
the use of the slipper, in the one case,
and by the bestowal of some pastry
dear to the childish palate, in the
other. And so it is through life-aye
beyond this life, for the dying Christian
lies down in that sleep which knows no
awakening on this earth with the assur-
ance that he has gained the promised
reward of d home in heaven prepared
for those who serve and obey God.

QUEER old world this. In San Fran
cisco the commission men have been
dumping large quantities of fresh vege-

And yet we are a Christian nation-a
nation that spends vast sums in charity
and for spreading the Gospel of Christ
which teaches the universal brother
hood of man. Queer, is it not?

WHEN the newspaper men of Min
nesota take hold Of an enterprise it
can safely be said that it will prove a
success. The Executive Committee of
the press clubs and the Editorial Asso-
citation have prepared the following
elaborate program for Newspaper
Mems Day at the State Fair, which is
guarantee that the closing day Of
the fair will be the most interesting of
all:
A game of baseball between the St..
Paul and Detroit clubs and another
game between the Minneapolis and
Terre Haute clubs, of the Western
League, will form part of the exceed
ingly interesting program for News
paper Mems Day at the State Fair,
which is Saturday, September 14th.
For the purpose of these games a
diamond will be made in front of the
state fair grand stand, SO that every
feature Of the games will be plain to
view from every part OF the grand
stand. The first game will begin at
P. NJ. and the second game at 4 P. NJ.
This will be an opportunity which may
not be had for many years to come for
the people of Minnesota and near by
states to see four of the most celebrated
baseball clubs in the world play ball in
one afternoon. Another great attrac-
ton on the program will be mile race
between Miss Mate Christopher, the
noted young female >bicyclist, and a
fast trotting horse. Miss Christopher
stands ready to ride against the fastest
trotting horse in the world, her mile
record being below the best record yet
made by trotting horse. There will

\ WOMAN in New Y Ork was recently
bitten by dog, and worried herself to
death from fear of hydrophobia. Her
fears were senseless, as several people
who had been bitten by the same dog
are alive and we'll. People by thous-
ands are every year worrying them
selves to death over imaginary dangers
and by magnifying their troubles. Who
has not known people to leave home
for rest and recreation who, from the
moment they were out of sight of their
dwelling, would begin to express fears
of this or that danger, and instead of
their visit being rest from the routine
labor of life, the good woman of the
house would sink into a chair on her
return home with sigh Of relief, feel
ing grateful, no doubt, that she found
the house standing instead of in ashes
Is this worry and unrest character
istic of Americans? Our German fell
low citizens enjoy their social pleasures
without an apparent thought of any
thing but how they may get the most
out of the occasion, and by so doing
they return to whatever vocation in
life they may be engaged, refreshed in
body and mind. We do not all have
the strength and mental equlpoise to
bear the heavy misfortunes of life with
out murmur, but it is the petty cares
and anneyances that make, in the aggre-
gate, the burdens of life, and these, by
the cultivation of patience and the ex-
ercise of little philosophy, can be re-
duced to the minimum. We are, after
all, great deal like timid children
whose imagination pictures all kinds of
danger lurking in the darkness of night
which, when boldly approached. vanish.
And SO it is with many Of the troubles
of our adult years: those which seem of
tremendous import will, if met with a
courageous front.turn out to be of trivial
consequence.

The FOLLOWING are the glowing
words of Col. Robert G. Ingersoll at
the reunion of the regiment which he
commanded during the civil war:
"This day we remember the heroic
dead, those whose blood reddens all the
paths and highways Of honor, those
who died upon the field or in the prison
pens, in famine's tleshless clutch: those
who gave their lives that liberty should
not perish from the earth. And we
remember the great leaders who have
passed to the realm of silence and
shadow, firm and faithful Sherman:
daring and reckless, prudent and vic
torious Sheridan, fit to have stood by
Caesar and uttered the words of COM
mand; Grant, the silent, the invincible,
the unconquered, greatest soldier of
his time; and, rising above them all,
Lincoln, the wise, the patient, the
merciful, the grandest figure of the
Western world. To you, comrades, my
heart goes out; to you, survivors of the
death-filled days: to you who barred
your bosoms to the storms of war; to
you who left the ones you loved to die,
if need be, for the sacred cause; to you
1 pay the tribute of respect and love.
May you live long in the land you
helped to save. May the winter of
your age be as green as spring, as full
of blossoms as summer, as generous as
autumn; may you be surrounded by

Education merits particular attention.
1t contains the maiden effort of the
new editor of grade and primary work,

is terse and vigorous. Respect for

Of righteous authority, the vastness of

ting to it, and the serious risk of resist
ing it, writes the Rev. Charles H. Park
hurst, ID. d., in the September Lodies
Home Journal. No anarchist could
ever have graduated from the home

experience makes me pity the children
who know no discipline but that of
caresses and sweetmeats, and makes me
more than pity the parents who have
neither the discernment in their mental
constitution nor the iron in their moral
constitution to perceive that nothing
which child can know or can win can
begin to take the place of sense of su-
perior authority, and of the holy right
of that authority to be respected, revered
and obeyed. The moral strength of
man is measured pretty accurately by
the cordial reverence with which he re-
CARDS whatsoever has the right to call
itself his master. Estimated by this
criterion the average American boy is
a discouraging type of humanity, and
is severe reflection upon the crude
attempts at manhood manufacture
evinced by the typical American home.
If our homes cannot turn out children
that will respect authority, there will
be no authority in a great while either
at home, in the State or anywhere else,
that will be worth their respecting.

Only sympathetic and sensitive
nature can tell just where intrusive
ness begins, so as to avoid it's very first
approach. We can all. however, i'm
prove in this respect by cultivating our
perceptions and sympathies so as to
enter somewhat into the consciousness
of other people. No one deliberately
intends to become an intruder or a
bore, but many actually do so from
selfish and careless disregard of the

ance of the way in which their con-
duct affects those who view it from an
