The following short item from
the Geographic news columns of
the daily press is another standing
monument to the value of circum-
stantial evidence:
PITTSBuRG, Pa, Oct. 26. Silas Gray,
who has served fourteen years of life
sentence for murder which it has de-
veloped was committed by another,
was released from the penitentiary to-
day, and left for his home in Indiana
county tonight.
Not word is said about the
gross injustice done to Silas Gray,
nor is a word mentioned about the
further safeguards that should be
used to avoid the recurrence of
such injustice in other cases where
circumstantial evidence is the sole
dependence Of the prosecution.
We believe in the use of circum-
stantial evidence and have always
contended that it is a necessity to
the proper subservience of the
ends of justice. But, as the law
plainly demands, such evidence
should always be corroborated by
unimpeachable direct testimony.

READING THAT PAYS.

IT IS sad commentary on the
intelligence of this latter day civ
ilization that SO many bright lit
erary lights degrade their God
given genius for the sake of few
dollars extra profit made in the
writing of sickly stories that create
only wishy-washy sentimentalism
in the maturing devotees Of blood
and-t thunder slush. 1t is the prin-
cipal desire Of the cheap popular
novel; writer to give his work that
slight touch of suggestiveness that
barely passes the moral censorship
of the public, but which, sad to
say, is the main attraction or
rather bait, that he uses to catch
the immature readers. The OF
binary "plain-spoken'' novel will
not injure the advanced reader,
and it may also be added that it
will never inspire a noble thought
or impulse in his breast. But to
the youthful reader of sentimental
turn the trashy novel is looked
upon as authority, as a sort of
precedent OF license to wander
into unknown realms against the
mute "Forbear!" of conscience.
Reading of this nature will
never return an adequate dividend
for the time expended on it. It is
usually INDUCED in for the sole
purpose Of killing" time. AS a
recent authority says: "Some per-
sons read books as men ride across
country when hunting; their only
object is to get in at the death
in the shortest possible time"
There is a deal of truth in that
quotation. There being nothing
to hold the reader save the curl
osity Of knowing the fate Of the
alleged hero and heroine, the read
ing Of the book is simply mad
rush against time in skimming
over the pages to reach the de-
nouement. We believe in the
reading Of ''light'' literature; it is
a necessity for all grades Of read
ers. But it should be remembered

credit for the enthusiastic manner
in which it is urging the necessity
Of such a system which is essen
TALLY for the benefit Of the poorer
classes whose incredulity and some
bitter experience cause them to
give the ordinary savings bank a
wide berth. It is also estimated
that total sum of about $3.50, OOO,-
600 is now hidden away in old
stockings and other secret places.
If system of postal savings banks
was open this large amount Of
money would be brought into cir
culation, as even the most ignorant,
uneducated residents of this coun-
try have implicit confidence in the
United States government, and
would be only too glad to resurrect
their savings and place them in the
care of Uncle Sam at low rate of
interest. Let us have the postal
savings bank and we will all be
small capitalists.

erately competent in a half dozen.
AsSydney Smith once said: "Have
the courage to be ignorant of many
things, that you may not suffer the
calamity of being ignorant Of all
things
1t is very noticeable in this age
that too many parents are am
bilious to make a portable the
saurus of their children. They
will insist upon the children be-
coming proficient in too many un-
connected accomplishments; the
result generally is that the children
are handicapped by having their
energy SO widely diversified. The
smartest Of men possess only a
limited talent; and their success
will be measured in the ratio that
this talent is confined to particular
lines. It is not to be expected
that one man shall be a good black
smith, shoemaker and bricklayer.
He may become ''handy" at all
three but he will never attain any
eminence in the combination.
But if he directs his entire energy
to becoming expert in one of such
callings he will certainly stand a
much greater chance of being sue
cessful. The man who aspires to
be jack of all trades must remem-
Der that it is impossible to work
at more than one of them at time,
and he will only be paid as his
dizziness in that one particular line
commands. It will therefore be
seen that it is much better to be
an AL blacksmith than to be
a third-rate tinker in many lines.
The inference we should draw
from these thoughts is that sue
cess in life depends principally
upon our concentrating what tai
ent we possess in some one par
ticular line. It is better to have a
reputation as a good mortar-mixer
or shoveler than to have a veneered
knowledge Of the many branches
of common labor. And it will be
more satisfying to us to realize
success in one Of our youthful am
billions than to be only a passive
participant in many of them.

ALL intelligent people agree
that the recent nauseating Grim
inal trial in Chicago has accom-
plished one good in showing the
utter worthlessness of that grade
of presumptive evidence common
ly called expert testimony" Both
sides to that case procured the
best available living authorities on
the exhibits used in the trial Of the
case, and their evidence confronted
the public with opinions diamet-
rically opposed to each other.
These experts, be it understood,
belonged to the same school, de-
rived their original knowledge of
anatomy from the same source:
yet their testimony in no instance
agreed. What is more peculiar is
the fact that such testimony is al
ways unqualifedly in favor of the
side employing it. Enough said.
The reader may draw his own in
ference.

that in the qualifying adjective
eight it is not good policy to
seek the superlative comparison
by reading the ''lightest" When
a doctor orders light coverlet put
on an invalid he does not mean
that you shall use a threadbare
sheet as covering. What he in
fers, and what you readily under
stand, is that you shall procure
coverlet that possesses most warmth
with a minimum Of weight. And
so also we should be careful in
selecting our light literature. Do
not seek the transparent, charac-
terless works that possess no other
value save that Of being extremely
eight" Select a work for your
literary recreation that will in
spire warmth Of worthy thought
while not palling on the mind
with weighty problems.
There is proper time and place
also for good, heavy reading The
literature that is sure "dividend-
maker is the reading that in
spires one to a higher realization
Of what may be accomplished in
life by the promptings of an earn
est purpose. It requires some
effort to become an enthusiastic
reader of books that will improve
one. 1t is one of the grandest
laws Of our being that any accom-
plishment worth acquiring may
be attained only by some effort on
our part. But the pleasure and
profit ultimately derived from such
accomplishments will repay us for
the energy expended in acquiring
a taste for them.
The love Of good, healthy reading
is the strongest indication of a
truly sympathetic nature and
thoroughly going honesty of purpose
that will mark any mortal as one
of Gods noblemen. And by
healthy reading is not necessarily
meant dry reading. Some of the
standard works of the day in fc-
ton, history and biography are of
an intensely interesting nature
that enthrall the reader in a spell
of noble impulse that must add to
his recreative pleasure as we'll as
advancing him in useful knowl-
edge and ability to converse en-
tertainingly. Interest the youth
of our land in such noble reading
and the blood and-thunder novel
with it's sickly sentimental con-
temporary will certainly succumb
to hamilton. .

THE ASPIRATIONS OF YOUTH.

WHEN we have reached what
should be the joyous entrance to
the prime of life it is sad to recall
how one youthful ideal after an
other has been crushed by the
sway Of evil passions we were not
courageous enough to master be-
fore they poisoned the springs Of
our youthful aspirations. Prob
ably the happiest anticipation of
life has been the glorious future
each one mapped out for himself
in the happy days of halcyon
adolescence. With what a flush of
honest pleasure many of us marked
out a career filled with worthy ex-
amples of self sacrifice. Not a
dishonest thought entered our
lives in those days. Usually we
had our individual heroine as a
central piece Of the future around
which was woven the possible
achievements of a then honest
nature. But how rudely this idol
and attendant ideals have been
shattered! And all by our own
hands, willingly and wantonly.
Even though we have made a
sad failure of life up to the present
time, it does one good to look back
to those happy days and see what
still may be accomplished toward
fulfilling the cherished aspirations
of youth. With the advantage of
ripe judgment and the bitter ex-
perience CLEANED from years of
folly we may still pursue course
that will fttingly materialize many
of the plans of our youthful archi-
lecture.
One particular fault of our youth
full anticipations was a desire to
achieve success in too many diff
ferent lines. This error we may
now remedy by combining whatever
ability we possess in one particu-
lar channel. A study of the lives
of successful men will readily con-
vince us that the chief means to
their eminence was the concentra-
ton Of their energies upon one
particular object. It is far better
to be a thorough master of one
trade or calling, than to be mod

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 the prisoner;
to disseminate pathological information and to aid
in dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to fallen mans self-redempton.
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.
