When you are out on parole always
remember that there is many slip
'twixt parole and freedom. DO not
forget the story of the hawk swooping
down on the little bird when the lat

hearty meal. BE always on the alert
for your former hawk friends and do
not let them swOOp you into the en-
tanglements of crime again.

Talks on Whisky.

1t is presumed that there is very
strong majority of dem, we should
say, drinking men in the prison. OF
course it is understood that about 95
per cent of us are innocent and should
have been given five years in heaven
instead of coming here. At least, WE
think so, though number of excellent
judges who sentenced us here are un-
willing to hitch their car to the same
train of thought. 1t is also presumed
and very freely admitted, that in the
neighborhood of 95 per cent. of us have
been active in making the Whisky
Trust profitable investment for the
capitalist we so love to deride.

ture what full-blown idiot drunken
man can be? When thoroughly sober
yourself, have you ever listened to the
foolish, boastful drivel of a drunken
man, and noted his clownish antics as
he careened from side to side with a
full deck load of beer? If you have
watched one it must have occurred to
you, as it has to the writer in his SEN
sible spells, to say, eff were sure 1
acted like that when I'm drunk I
would never touch it." Well, that is
just about the way it affects all. In
fact, the more sensible we are when
sober, the more ridiculous will be our
actions when drunk.

Extra duty in the Irvine shops began
Monday. About So of the inmates will
work two hours overtime. Later, as
the days grow longer, this will be in
creased to three hours. This is great
boon as it means extra privileges and
luxuries to those employed. From the
very nature of affairs it is impossible
to employ all the inmates. Neither is
it practicable to use different crews
each night as considerable proficiency
is requisite to make the labor of any

After existence of three years, during period
of unprecedented business depression, the paper, five

into voluntary liquidation, every subscriber being
given the option of having his her money returned
or receiving another journal in lieu thereof BY this
person (save ourselves) sustained the loss
of single copper by reason Of the suspension.
THE JEWISH SOUTH appears to-day in entirely
new "dress, the major portion of the type from
which it is printed having before been put to

It will be endeavor to give paper that will
be pride and credit to people and the commu-
nifty in general To this end ask the assistance of
all friends and readers Gin every section of the
country in the shape of contributions of literary,

regulation was the impedment to our former

dred dollars due us at the time of suspension such

ence that it will require the official

however, claim 81 of the 100 representa-
