THE importance of saving part
of their earnings can not be too
strongly impressed upon the youth
of the country. The habit Of thrift
is the most valuable that can be
acquired by a young man begin
ming his career. The Minneapolis
aldermen should be taken as ex-
amples of what can be done by
the aid of frugal and Industrious
habits. By attending strictly to
business, saving whenever possible
and keeping their mouths shut,
they have acquired sufficient means
to make heavy investments in real
estate, keep fast horses and live
like plutocrats generally, and all
on $500 per year. Every young
man who is persevering in effort,
who has correct habits Of living
and who husbands his resources
can do likewise.

HALF the worry of life arises
from over-sensitiveness about what
people have to say of our conduct
and motives. The best intentions
are more likely to be subjected to
abuse and calumny than the ones
we are most careless in advancing
to success. The envious never be-
gin their carping until they see
someone reaping well-earned sue
cess, or some great achievement
nearing completion in which they
had no part, then their fault-fnd-
ing and insinuations are directed
against those whose usefulness
they can not hope to equal. Wor-
rying over the attacks of the chat
tering fault-fnders encourages
them to continue in their mean
ness, but, passing them unnoticed,
their snarling has boomerang prop
critics.

MIsDIREcTED ability is greater
evil than the worthlessness of ig-
norance. There is nothing more
detrimental to good example than
the spectacle Of genius being pros
tituted to the qualification of igno-
BILE pleasures and the attainment
of unworthy ends. When talent
is directed in furthering schemes
that will not bear the light of day,
it shakes faith in the whole fabric
of morals far more than the crimes
of the ignorant. From ignorance
little is expected, but ability has
it's nobless oblige and to refuse it
is to convert a blessing into a
curse.

INDEPENDENT manhood is mans
highest achievement, but it must
rest on strong characteristics to be
of value as an example. Swagger-
ing manners, or a quick-tempered
disposition, have not the attributes
of independence, nor have they
the power to inspire respect or win
friends. independence is freedom
from prejudice and the trammels
of obstinate opinion. It hates

A WORD of encouragement re-
quires but little expenditure of
time or effort, but it may infuse
new life into the one it is intended
to cheer. Passing over another's
work by saying cts not BAD or
''it will pass is like trying to warm
a shivering man by throwing a
bucket of cold water over him.
Praise should be given where due.
Withholding it breeds listlessness,
and dampens the ardor of the most
energetic. A little encouragement
sweetens the sourest of natures and
allies it's support to the one who
recognizes it's worth.

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;
todisseminate pathological information and to aid
In dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to fallen mans sef-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

The responsible source of every
wrong action begins with the
growth of the motive. The act it.
self may be impulsive, without APP
parent preparation or thought of
the consequences, but if the motive
had not been studied this impulse
would not have existed in latent
state ready to spring into activity
when the temptation seized it.
The more consideration given to
the motive, the more yielding it
becomes to temptation and the
more likely to lead to the act it
suggests. To dismiss the motive
is to remove the temptation which
prompts the wrong action.

CHRISTIANS DAY.

CHRISTMAS DAY, with all it's
hallowed memories and bright an
ticipations, again swings around
with it's cheer, it's feasting and it's
gifts. Celebrated wherever the
Christian religion has foothold,
the great holiday is first and most
joyous in the hearts of civilized
man. 1t is the season of remem
brances, Of recreation and of pleas
ure in which the rich and poor.
the high and low, from the palace
to the prison share, and in which
care is supplanted by merriment.
The heart Of humanity throbs in
sympathetic unison on the day
that commentaries the birth of
the Savior, forgetting it's troubles
and enmities in a common feeling
of brotherhood.
The overwhelming influence of
the religion of Christ, lifting man.
kind from the depths of selfshness
to the high estate of charity and
teaching peace where before was
strife, gives Christmas each year
an added interest and each recur-
ring celebration tends to the bet
terment Of the world. Geniality
is supreme, goodwill is every
where: that touch of nature that
makes the world kim is felt and
thrills even the most selfish with
an interest in the happiness Of his
kind and a desire, transient though
it may be, to relieve necessity and
cheer the cheerless. The out
stretched hand of charity is filled
for the appealing; the word of en-
couragement is spoken to the dis
couraged and to every troubled
heart, bond or free, the sunshine
of sympathy is given without stint.
This universal custom of yearly
greetings brings all classes in
touch with each others feelings,
teaches mutual interest and con-
tributes to the advancement of not
only the material but the higher
intellectual and moral needs of
men. The spirit of Christmas is
essentially social in it's recreative
observance. It requires company,
with it's gay laughter and warmth
Of good nature, to be thoroughly
enjoyed and in this mingling of
sentiment and unrestrained mirth
resides the essence of Merry
Christmas.
On this gracious day it is fitting
that an effort be made to try and
take fresher and more brighter
view of life; that the desire for
the upbuilding Of character may be
awakened and the resolution made
for making real what now seems
visionary.

THE MINDS OCCUPATION.

In WHATEVER condition of life
they may be thrown, men have time
to think, and as this time is made
use of in that degree will the mind
improve. No man can disengage
himself from his thoughts. They
are always with him, crude and un-
digested, perhaps, but still present
awaiting the moulding touch of
reflection to form them into the
minds finished product. What the
mind feeds on nourishes the
thoughts that occupy it, diverts
them from good to bad, or bad to
good, and creates for contempla-
ton love of either the coarse or
refined, the noble or base. One
sided thought that refuses to con-
slider it's antithesis is morbid, weak
in it's deductions and productive of
no good. It has nothing to build
upon but what it desires, makes no
effort to arrive at truth, but seeks
that which has a similar tendency
and associates only where agree
ment can be found. ..
To be rightfully occupied, the
mind needs intercourse with other
and, if possible, greater minds. It
needs contradiction, diverse opin-
ions and new thoughts to refresh
it's strength and elevate it above it's
normal level. The infusion of new
ideas, the knowledge impaired by
the experiences of others and the
standard sentiments of literature,
with their beauty of expression,
depth of meaning and the impress
sions they leave, are to the mind
what rain is to vegetation, revivify-
ing it's strength, adding to it's
clearness and improving it's growth.
The influence of a strong and we'll
balanced mind over a weak and
vacillating one is far greater than is
generally supposed. The weak one
will naturally initiate and be
guided by the judgment of the
stronger, and if the strong is pure
and refined the weaker will accept
the examples it sets and endeavor
to possess the qualities that it adj
mires and acknowledges superior
to it's own. Rejecting on the
value of these qualities creates the
ambition to cultivate them, and as
the mind dwells on the possibility
of possessing what is needed to
train it for the reception of these
qualities, it is attuned to the occu-
patton that improves and ennobles
it above the ordinary.
What the mind should not be
occupied with is Of greater import
ance than what it should be occu-
pied with. Constant brooding over
real Or fancied grievances, irrec-
oncilable discord with circum-
stances that forbid equal oppor-
tunity for advancement and morbid
discomfort with surrounding asso-
Citations deteriorates the mind and
units it for active and reliable
work, destroys it's independence
and weakens it's judgment. Vul-
garity debases it, effaces every YES
tige of it's refinement and occupies
it with every evil thought that de-
generates not only the mind, but
the man, for the mind is the man.

" LITERARY NOTES. "

McClure's Magazine will begin
in the January number a series Of
Life Portraits of Great Ameri-
cans with reproductions of all
the existing portraits of Benjamin
Franklin known to have been made
from life. There are fifteen such
portraits, and some of them have
never been published. Mr.. Charles
Henry Hart, probably the highest
authority on early American por-
traits, is collecting and editing the
material for the series, and will
add introduction and notes giving
the history of the several portraits
and whatever is interesting in the
circumstances of their production.
There will also be an article on
Franklin by Professor Treat, of
the University of the South.
There are two admirable stories
in the San Francisco Argonaut of
December 21st. The first is en-
titled "Deceivers Ever" and is one
of the best tales of army life that
have been written by Miss Gwen
dolen Overton, whose work in this
line is widely known. It is the
story of handsome lieutenant
whom many women love. The
other tale is ''The Bridge Walker,
by an equally popular California
writer, Frank Bailey Millard. 1t
tells how a railroad employee dis
covers the treasure secreted by
train-robbers d. i cleverly illustrates
their efforts t. &c, aIF~. with it.

Many Surmises as to Luther's
Motives INDUCED in.
Impression That the Man Was Tenn
pOrarily Insane is Growing.

TAUNTON, Mass. Nov. A.-Nothing has
developed since yesterday 10 throw new
light on the mysterious murder and
suicide OF which Mrs. Barber and Fred
l.. Luther were the victims. The citizens
find the circumstances a fruitful topic of
conversation and many surmises are ex-
pressed as to the motive, but the only one
which seems TO be We'll founded is that
Luther committed the acts in a fl of
temporary insanity. 1t has developed that
Luther owed Mrs. Barber very small
amount for board. but this fact is in sig
nitcant when considered as q cause of the
crime.
Close Investigation has failed to show
that there was any love affair between
Luther and his boarding mistress. or, as
has been intimateo, between MIN and
her daughter. No evidence has been
found TO show that there had ever been
any unpleasantness between Luther and
the Barber family. 1t is known on the
other hand that the man often went to
his landlady for ADVICE and sometimes
placed small sums OF money In her keep
ing, which she returned TO him as he oe-
sired IT.
