it are so numerous to support a
theory or sustain fact that to
thoroughly understand any sub
ject requires an acquaintance with
the presidents of the past. AS it
embraces the story of the progress
of the world, all learning must
serve it's purpose and accept it's
conclusions. Its scope is bounded
only by the limits of human en-
deavor and it's lessons are the
proven truth of human experience,
passed from generation to genera
ton to instruct and guide.
To study history is to study ex-
perience. It analyses human pas
sions, ambitions and achievements,
separates truth from fiction and
teaches the student the value OF
his own reasoning powers by en-
forcing their use on the deductions
at which it arrives.

WISDOM is common sense adorned
with learning, and not gravity Of
countenance Or grandiloquence OF
expression. The exquisite poise
of judgment that is quick to de-
tect and point out the remedy for
error, that avoids haste in its &C
ton and that knows the value of a
spoken word resides only in a
mind receptive Of truth, trained in
the school of experience and broad
ened by changing it's views when
found to be faulty. The wise are
strangers to deception, ignorant Of
conceit and far removed from the
pedantic. This world presents no
sadder spectacle than the pretend
er to wisdom. Behind the verbiage
of pedantry he essays to masquer-
AIDE as the fountain head Of ideas,
the expression Of truth. But the
mask is always transparent, and the
buffoonery within has not the cum
ming to conceal it's true ignorance.

The rescue mission society, re-
Gently organized in St. Paul, for
the purpose Of examining into po-

Of assistance, promises to effect re-
suits hitherto believed well-nigh
impossible. Their aim is to pre-
vent more than to suppress crime.
By visiting the police stations, in
terviewing the prisoners believed
to be victims of misfortune more
than crime and securing them en-
ployment when released they hope
to form a preventative agency that
will save many from life of crime
who need only helping hand to
start them on an honest life. This
work will be especially directed at
juvenile offenders, who have not
yet become tainted with crime and

The man who loves his home is
the one who serves the social fabric
best. Men who regard their homes
with the regard and affection which
rightly belongs to it, have little
inclination for engaging in any
schemes of violence and rascality.
They have an interest in peace,
good government and the main
tenance of good order, morals and
public interest. Cultivation of
home pleasures, with attractive
surroundings and the elevating in
fuences that should pervade every
household, is the surest method OF
building up a character that will
withstand the scrutiny of the fault
finder and the attacks of the
villifer. The reckless, anarchistic
and law-defying come from the
class who have no home ties

SOME people seem to think that
the quintessence Of human virtue
is discovering and publishing to
the world the sins of their neigh
bors. This class confounds an alb
normal imagination with brains,
and in their efforts to blacken the
character of others they lay bare
to the world their own utter lack of
decency.

To DEPART from the paths of
right is to war against self. No
man ever injured another without
suffering more than his victim.

dent in human affairs than that

course, and the only course that

THE CARES OF WEALTH.

NA1UR ne Has OoCIeou tIdI tIOu-
BILE and sorrow shall be the price
Of wealth and pride. With every
accumulation of riches comes in
creased responsibility, care and
worry. The higher the fame, the
more venomous will be the attacks
of SANDER and the aspersions of
calumny. The rich have no pri-
vacy, no contentment and no home
joys in the true sense. The fierce
glare of an envious publicity
searches out the innermost recesses
of their character, their lives and
their private affairs: their best in
tentions are questioned, their mo-
tives maligned and their preten-
tons to the charitable virtues
scoffed and ridiculed.
Wealth is the goal Of modern
ambition: the oak around which
all desires cling. Nothing is too
sacred, nothing is too pure that
will not be sacrificed in it's acqui-
sition. Conscience is unheeded,
the rights of others wholly disre-
garded and manhood debased in
the accumulation of boards that
can bring no happiness to their
possessor. and which, in most cases,
are squandered in vice and dissi-
patton after his death. Great
wealth or luxuriousness can bring
no pleasure or means Of recrea-
ton above that enjoyed by the
ordinary man. After it has been
gained it's protection is found as
difficult and the cause of more
vexation than it's acquisition. No
money can buy a hght-hearted
disposition, a hearty appetite or
that exhiliration Of spirits that
makes life a blessing and it's living
joy. In the MONDAY of life
Cornelius Vanderbilt finds him
self a helpless paralytic, without
hope of ever again enjoying the
boon Of good health. His millions
have no power to give him what
is the possession of the meanest
beggar, nor can they add one day
to his lease of life.
To strive for great wealth is tc
desert happiness and tempt fate
The man with moderate means
who lives for home and family
who eschews the gilded pleasures
of masked vice for the purer joys
Of the hearthstone, and who shuns
the alluring temptations Of the
speculative and grasping, occupies
the position most envied in this
life.

THEMERROR is weekly paper published

THE MIRROR is a weekly paper published
In the Minnesota State Prison. 1t was founded
In 1887 by the prisoners and is edited and man
aged by them. Its objects are to be a home
newspaper: to encourage moral and intellectual
improvement among the prisoners; to acquaint
the public with the true STATUS of the prisoner;
to disseminate psychological information and to aid
In dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to fallen mans self-redemptiOn.
The paper is entirely dependent on the public for
its financial support. If at any time there should
accrue a surplus of funds, the money would be
expended in the interests of the prison library.

HISTORY AS AN EDUCATOR.

To PROMOTE love of study is to
open the mind to self-educatiOn.
Everyone likes to learn, but not
everyone has the inclination to
apply their mental powers suffi-
GENTLY to educate their faculties
up to the standard they would like
to attain. To study is to think,
and when the mind thinks, it i'm
proves. To master one subject is
to awaken a desire to begin an in
tellectual struggle with another,
and the more victories achieved,
the stronger becomes the thirst for
knowledge. In this age of cheap
literature, the means Of acquiring
at least the rudiments of an educa-
ton are within the reach of the
humblest, and any neglect to en-
brace the opportunities they pre-
sent is but little short of a crime
against self-interest. Higher ed
ucation is reserved for the few, but
that general education that imparts
an acquaintance with standard in
formation and ripens independence
of thought and opinion is practi-
cally free to all who wish to par
take of it's benefits.
History is substantial founda-
ton on which to build an educa-
ton. It lays before the student
the narrative Of real events, in
PRODUCES him to the greatest actors
in the dramas of the past, ac-
quaints him with the customs,
laws and habits of thought Of
bygone ages, and, by explaining
the contending ideas that have
striven for the supremacy Of the
world. broadens the mental out
look with a clearer view of the
motives and ambitions that have
actuated the great minds of other
days. History is the work Of the
brightest minds of literature and
embodies in it's compilation the
ripest Judgment of learning and
experience, and, though not al
ways accurate. forms the highest
ideal of human wisdom. The ex-
cuse most often offered for histor-
ical ignorance is that it's study is
too dry. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. The English Ian
guage contains nothing more fas-
cinating than Irving's conquest OF
Granada or his delightful histor-
ical burlesque Of the Dutch in
New York. All the beautiful i'm
agery of romance can be found in
the works Of Macaulay, adjoining
historical truth and commanding
admiration by beauty of expires.

A feature of the October Home
Magazine is the series of six full
page illustrations, reproduced in
half-tone from the famous Arctic
historical paintings by Albert
Operti, Americas representative
painter of Arctic scenery. Mr.. OPP
erti paints with wonderful talent,
and the accompanying descriptive
text by Arthur Turner shows that
there is plenty of inspiring mate
rial in Arctic history to urge him
to do his best. The whole makes
an unusually interesting article.
Mr.. Operti was the artist Of the
Peary expedition, which has just
returned from Greenland. "A Re-
markable Political Campaign" is
history Of the strenuous attempt
that has been made for the past
year by the Single Takers to carry
the state of Delaware at the COM
ing election. It is unique cam
paign in conception and for a
unique economic theory. William
M. Callingham, the author, is one
of the Single Tax advocates. There
are twenty-five illustrations from
photographs. Clinton Ross is a
favorite story-writer of today, and
the Home Magazine is fortunate
in securing two of his best stories
for this issue. They are grouped
under the head Of ''Tales of the
Town." being stories of New York
city, past and present.
