SLAVES TO PASSION.

HAD the era of chattel slavery
existing forty years ago been con-
tinued it would certainly not have
been much more degrading in the
dire results emanating from it than
what must be the outcome of men
voluntarily sacrificing themselves
as slaves to every vice that tenn
porarily satisfies the cravings OF
the baser instincts and passions
Money is the eternal cry of all.
Money at whatever cost to self, to
manhood. Money is master OF
body and soul with most of us.
Why? Because it is the great
pacifcator of our brutal nature,
it is the idol of every beastly, un-
refined pleasure we seek.
What will not the man OF un-

SECRETARY H. H. HART, Of the
state board of charities and correc-
tons has been rendered a position
as head of the Chicago bureau of
charities. Mr.. Hart has long
proved his ability to manage a
higher field of such labor than that
offered him in Minnesota. 1t is
very likely that he shall appreci-
ate the compliment paid to him in
his chosen vocation by accepting
the offer from Chicago. If he
does he shall have the good wishes
of inmates of all Minnesota insti-
buttons for success in his new field
of labor.

checked passion go through for
money? What risks will he not
run? For few paltry dollars he
will cast away every noble prompt
ing of his heart: he will jeopardize
his very life and liberty to gain it
by the foulest means, all to satisfy
the passing whim Of an abnormal
longing for whisky and idleness.
He will do things that will cause
regret the balance of his earthly
days, all for the sake Of appeasing
uncontrolled appetites acquired
through lazy habits.
When we take an honest look at
the depths to which we have sunk
in pursuing a phantom life Of ease
it is enough to make us wonder
seriously if there are not more SEN
sible men in lunatic asylums than
we HAVE been. No amount of soft
talk or sentimentalism can disprove
the straight fact that we have been
mere slaves to our viler passions
driven hither and yon in efforts to
satisfy their vagaries by any
methods; by honest means if easy,
by dishonest ones if possible, but
in some INSCRIPTIONS manner at
all hazards. Buffeted about by the
remorseless whims of the passions
of our own creation we are unable
to control our actions even when
anxious to do so. Everything
must be subservient to our pas
sions as they are practically mas
ters Of our body and soul. And
hard masters they make. No HUI
man slaves in days gone by ever had
such demons to guide their mortal
destinies.
We have it within us to be freed
from this slavish thralldom. A
little self-denial and active will
power will break the loathsome
bonds. We must answer for our
selves: Is the end worth the ef-
fort? Is success, happiness, moral
and physical liberty worth striving
for?

sort of an enthusiast he becomes
in making an honest living first.
It is not necessary to trust him
with your money and valuables,
but show him that you consider
him at least as wild animal now
pretty we'll tanned. A man is apt
to act in the light you consider
him. If you deal with him only
as farmer would with hawk he
is likely to turn out a hawk.

Miss Gwendolen Overton has an
entertaining story in the San Fran
cisco Argonaut of May 3rd. 1t is
entitled ''The Making of a Man, -
and teaches the moral that a clever
woman should be given something
to do. The heroine is an army
wife who whiles away her idle
hours with French novels, and,
when a young lieutenant comes to
the post, deems it her duty to
bring him up in the way he should
go. The plan is fraught with dam
ger for herself, and results in a
dramatic climax to the story.

TEN DER MEMORIES.

WHEN the heart looks back to
the hallowed days Of a happy past,
the soul as it wells up in the eyes
of the seemingly irreconcilable
scoundrel sighs wistfully for the
return Of those days that were the
sunshine Of buoyant youth. No
matter what we are now or how
bad we may have been the hope
that those days of happy child
hood might be ours again is ever
uppermost in our thoughts when
we gaze on the wreck we have
made Of life.
The Just irony of fate has willed
that we shall suffer for having
baked at what we considered the
restraint of righteousness. Not
satisfied to live and be happy as
in days Of yore we sought to grasp
wealth by what we considered the
most expeditions method, regard
less of the feelings Of others or
how we should feel if some person
relieved us of what we honestly
knew to be our own. Instead Of
finding this method Of acquiring
worldly comforts easy it has
turned out to be very expensive.
AS we ponder over the warped
sensibilities that led us into the
trap, memory instinctively recalls
to us the happiness of the past;
the tender memories of youth
when our thoughts as they scared
to lofty ideals caused us more real,
honest pleasure than all the hon.
eyed RIGHTEOUSNESS of our depraved
after-life.
Every one of us can recall wildly
the beautiful fairy abodes we
treasured in youth as our future
habitation in life. Just bring to
mind for a moment the plans we
each made for what we would do
and what we would be when we
were men. Some of us may be SO
depraved yet as to say, 'Oh! that
was only the foolishness of youth"
But do they think of the genuine
happiness that this ''foolishness"
caused? Do they ever look at the
prosperous men of the world who
have fully realized their happy
ideals? By PROSPEROUS men is
not necessarily meant those who
have become exceedingly rich.
The comparatively poor man may
be prosperous in the fullest realiza-
ton of that word when his con-
science is clear and he feels
content with his lot in life, even
though he is ever making honest
efforts for his advancement in
worldly affairs.
The memories of happy youth
should be the strongest incentive
to honesty for those of us who
have been brought up short, in
riotous career Of reckless, careless
and useless living. The thoughts
of home, of schoolboy days, and
the happiness of schoolmates who
have to some degree realized their
ideal in an upright life should in
spire us with a loftier notion of
life, and fire our hearts with a
courageous fervor that can easily
repel the ribald jests of alleged
comrades who prefer the life that
blasts all earthly happiness.

THE MIRROR is a weekly paper published

THE MIRROR is 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 pathological 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.
