The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1896-07-30

What mournful recollectiOns a flower brings
to prison cell. Pensively toying with its petals
the memories of brighter days pass in a mental
panorama to sadden by their remembrance.
Home, family, friends and the joys of former as
sociatiOns arise in each musing moment to re-
call lost opportunities and rejected advice. The
thought of sunny boyhood days, always present
in misfortune, contrasted with ruined hopes,
blasted ambition and remorse for the past in
spires reverence for the little floral beauty and
evokes gratitude for the sympathetic hand that
plucked the most pleasing of natures gifts to
freshen hope with cheer.

Paper Read by Member of Glass AL
PUBLIC OPINION.

One reason why we have no higher standard
of morality than exists at present, is because
people in general stand too much upon public
opinion as expressed in newspapers. healthy
public opinion is a good thing, and has done more
to curb crime than law and penalties. But in
this country it is carried to such an extent that
private affairs become public gossip and the sane
tty of the home invaded under the plea of public
interest. This is outside the sphere of newspa-
per work, and dragging private character into
publicity weakens their influence for good The
primary object of a newspaper is to circulate
news but this is often lost sight of in the desire
to rush after the sensational and effect scoops.
Reliability is sacrificed and truth sunk by this
course until now it has become so that news
paper opinion is accepted as the biased view of
an interested party. Another phase of this ques
ton is the extreme senstiveness of most people
on what others say. Sensible people, as long as
they satisfy their own conscience care little for
public opinion. Everybody likes to be we'll
thought of; to be popular and sought after, and
to attain this good opinion many will neglect the
plainest duties owing themselves and families to
please the particular class with whom they asso-
ciate. When we are contemplating something
detrimental to public welfare it is right for the
community interested to condemn us, but in do
ing this its censure should be withheld until its
full nature is understood. At its best, the world
is severe critic and often misrepreseDts mans
noblest ambitions as selfish striving after fame
and wealth. Some of the worlds greatest men
have had public opinion as their greatest enc
mics; and credit withheld for their virtues until
after death. 1t is good thing to possess self
respect and desire the good opinion of the world,
but to obtain it we should not bow to its preju-
dices or cater to its vices, nor should we mould
our opinions from the tickle views of others but
form them from the conclusions of our own judg-
ment. Dependence on public approval creates
vanity and makes us the slaves of fashion. An
other mistake of doing what others do, because
they think it is right, weakens confidence in our
own powers and makes us subservient to the
fancies of the moment. By eschewing the follies
and pet prejudces of the day and attending
strictly to business, we need care but little what
the world has to say of us.

Thirty prisoners in the Ohio pententiary, who
are serving life sentences under the habitual
criminal act held convention in the prison
chapel to devise ways and means to raise funds
and test the constitutionality of the law. The
chairman cautioned the prisoners against intem-
perate views and advised conservative action as
the best course to ultimate success. Several
speeches were made, including one by cele-
brated lawyer after which collection was taken
to enable one of their number to make a test
case. An executive committee was appointed,
and Warden Coffin granted permission for an
other meeting to perfect arrangements for the
proposed test case.

Sinbad performed the last sad rites over the
remains of the much lamented peacock. With
tender hands and loving care he deposited the
defunct bird in his last resting place beneath
the cOnsecrated dust of an old ash pile, and
erected over his grave slab inscribed with the
following epitaph:
Disturber of quiet, here rest in peace,
Your sins are all forgiven,
Although your cries, amid sOmbre hours,
To madness many near had driven.

The boys in the front office, in explaining the
cause of that detected look they have been wear
ing the last few weeks, assert that the laborious
toll required to untwine the twine orders that
become entwined with other orders untwists
their energies by twisting their wits. A rather
twisty story.

Last week an expert" arrived from the east
to "teach" some of the shoe shop boys how to
last shoes with new machine he was introduce

crack laster was pitted against him with an old

expert The score was, for dozen pairs of
shoes, convict twenty minutes and thirty seconds,
expert" twenty-three minutes. The new ma
chine has not been adopted.

The Chicago Times Herald, from the depths

THE PRISON MIRROR, the only paper in Min

out for free silver" This is a base fabrication
concocted for campaign purposes. We are all
1sK gold bugs of the plutocratic stripe, and,
moreover, the editor never works. Evidently

And for this bike she had more love
Than she ever gave her lover.

While the people stood a-grinning,

With their gorgeous bloomer trimming.

And wears an apron, cOlored blue,
Instead of bloOmer breeches.

interest the splendid lifeboat lying in
its own house on the beach, and the
surf-boat, ready on its own carriage on

could find for the two boa's. The re.
ply was, "Over thirty" II should
like to see that brave little army" said
the visitor. "I'll tell you where you
may see almost the whole of them at
once on Sunday night" said the man
to whom the words were addressed.

and found as he had been told, and
came away proud of that side-light on
village piety.
In little town. not far from the
capital of East Anglia, a lady of exalted
social position, but who happened to
be Congregationalist, visited a sick
girl four or five times and prayed by
her side. A fortnight ago she visited

mother watched the window with
some anxiety during the time she
stayed. Coming away the mother
said a: 81 am obliged to ask you not to
come again, for the Rector is so angry
at your calling" The same ecclesias-
tic, when asked to attend a meeting
