PENOGRAMS.


Society's debts to society are gener-
ally paid with the promissory notes of
misery.
Consistency is jewel that has more
paste limitations than the diamond of
commerce.
The dog wags his tail to express hap
piness; the gossiper wags his tongue to
spread unhappiness.
Because the steam engine needs the
eccentric in its business is no reason
why so many men should consider
themselves engines.
If, as has been said, "cleanliness is
next to goodness" there is excellent
advice in the slangy term which re-
quests man to 'get next"
The average man creates, with his
own vile passions, a greater despot and
more unrelenting oppressor to his indi-
vidual welfare than ever ruled over a
hapless people.
Continued disappointment in life
may make an angel out of the ordinary
man, but when that disappointment
has it's foundation in deceit it is more
likely to make of him disgruntled an
archist.
When, without apparent cause, a
man begins to doubt his own wife and
nearest relations, it is sure sign that
he has run the full gamut of all the
advertised patent medicines without
being relieved of a single one of the
two hundred diseases he thinks he is
afflicted with.
In the possession of good health the
poor man has fortune for which the
millionaire signs and means without
avail. We have that for which he
would give up his millions, and yet
many of us do not take as much care
of our health as we would of seven
dollar suit of clothes.
Selfshness will lose its main hold on
the human race when men once fully
realize that individual interest can be
furthered only by advancing the general
veal. The petty improvements of ones
that are gained by so much
injury to fellowman have boomer
ang effect that will eventually injure
the oppressor more than the oppressed
one.

FREEDOM.

They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak,
They are slaves who will not choose
Hatred, scOffing and abuse
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must think;
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three.
Is true freedom but to break
Fetters for own dear sake,
And, with leathern hearts, forget
That we owe mankind a debt?
No, true freedom is to share
All the chains our brothers wear,
And with heart and hand to be
Earnest to make others free.

The new departure spoken of in last
weeks issue has been very we'll re-
ceived by the inmates generally, as will
| be noticed by the large number of an.
swers we publish to the query: "What
was the happiest day or period in your
life and why was it SOP" Many of the
answers we have to still further 'boil
down" in order to publish as many as
possible.
The question to be answered next
week is:
What in your estimation do you
consider the most prominent trait OF
a truly honest man.
We again make the request that an.
swers be confined within the sixty word
limit
Here are some of the answers to last
weeks question:
The happiest day of my life was lust
two weeks ago, when summed up the
time had served and the ime | have
yet to serve, and found the latter to be
just six months. f. C. 1927.
The happiest days of my life were
those | spent as boy on farm.
J. H. 2255.
May 9th, 1894, during proceedings of
trial, being charged with the very
serious crime of homicide, when by the
evidence of the states medical witness
| was made aware that the wound
which l involuntarily and in self-de-
tense inflicted on the aggressOr. neither
caused nor fastened his demise. and
my conscience was cleared, thanks to
God. c. I. 1928
The happiest day in my life was when
L became an American citizen.
F. w. 477O.
The happiest period of my life was
that between the twelfth and eighteenth
years of it. then possessed the true
elements of happiness-health and in
nOcence. G.. r. 1856
The happiest period of my life was
when | was between four aud sixteen
years of age. There were no sorrows
and disappointments to mar the screen
ity of those boyhood days. But time
has changed all that; besides decimat-
ing my locks 1t has created myrIdQS of
aching volds that time alone will never
supply. b. 4134.
The happiest day of my life was the
day | made my first communion. On
that day [ was as pure and guileless as
the rose that blooms. On that dav life
flowed along like song On that day
| was happy in the consciousness of
knowing others shared my happiness.
On that day l was happy to see my
dear old mothers face light up with a
radiance akin to divine, feeling as she
did, that she had performed her moth
erly duty in trying to save her chlld's
pure soul for God. On that day l was
happy in listening to that now angel
mothers kind and cheering advice, as
she told me to avoid all evil, and above
all to remember my God and keep his
commandments. On that day the sub
ject of meum and tuum was held sac
red. MR.. 4584
My happiest day was May 9Th, 1898,

The happiest day of my life was when
1 married the young lady who is now
my wife, because [ was then united to
the one I loved and had a home which
had been without from the time was
eleven years old, on account of the
death of my parents. n. Nc. 1880.
When growing into manhood twenty
nine years ago, when the Lord gave me
a little son to bless my home. I was
then working for seventy-fve cents a

Those were my happiest days. 1 had
happiness, peace and content. Honesty
is the best policy. o. B. V. 445O.

An inmate requests an answer to the
question "What good is man who
doesn't attend to his own business %
There is plenty of room for consider
able answer to that query, my friend.
One or two of the principal uses he is
put to in this state is that of making
Irvine and shoes. This does rot imply
that all of this class are engaged at
such labor. Most of them outside of

EPITOME OF LATE WAR REPORTS.

EPITOME OF LATE WAR REPORTS
No conflict of any consequence has
been recorded since Dewey's great vic
tory at manila.
An uncUnfrmed report has it that
the Spanish fleets are mobiizing for
the purposes of attacking Dewey's
Squadron at Manila.
The gallant Commodore is reported
as saying that he is prepared to give a
second fleet as warm reception as that
rendered the first one at Manila,
Congress has unanimously passed re-.
solutions of thanks to Commodore
Dewey and his gallant crew. Each of
his officers and crew are to receive
brouze medals commemorative of the
Manila victory. Dewey has been made
a rear admiral and is to be presented
with a sword as mark of honor for
his bravery.
Secret service officers are making it
warm in Washington for some rene
gades who have entered the service of
Spain as spies.
Simpsons fleet is lowering about
Puerto Rico. Spanish fleet not vet
sighted there. A decisive battle in this
vicinity is expected soon.
War department is very sensibly
withholding from public print the ad-
vance movements being made.
Keeper Cover of shop H was the VIC
tim of runaway accident yesterday
morning while driving from his home
to the institution. He was thrown from
his vehicle and will probably be laid up
FOR few days.
The night keepers had another con.
flict with that now famous young Tom
Tabby with the beautiful tenor voice.
About A. NJ. yesterday morning young
Thomas attempted to throw off the
ennui consequent upon an uneyentful
hunt for mice during the night. He
started off on bar Orwell lick 'em.
yes, We'll lick 'em if they'll fight" On
reaching the stiff accent on the last
word, he was greeted with biff from
the business end of felt slipper This
only tended to encourage Thomas in
his laudable efforts at harmony, but he
was compelled to beat retreat when
heavier projectiles began to come his
way. Had the first slipper fired at him
been one of John Degan's, it is needless
to state that further waste of ammuni.
ton would have been unnecessary.
Another of our number has been
subpGnaed to his final accounting at
the bar of the Judge of judges. Chas.
Hesse was received here from Carver
in 1889. For the last two years he has
been on the infirm list due to inroads
made upon his system by consumption.
He knew that he was destined to an
early death from the dread disease. but
bore up manfully and always endeav-
Ored to appear cheerful. At times his
attempts to smile would appear pitiful
as the sallOW wasted skin on his face
|
move in unison with the nodding smile
ne would give in answer to questions
when he was unable to speak above a
whisper. He died Monday morning at
nine o'clock. TO the attendants pres
ent he said he was glad the end was so
near, as it was welcome release from
the agonies of the wasting disease from
which he suffered. Funeral service
was held in chapel Tuesday at noon,
all the inmates being present. The
sister, brother and one other friend of
the deceased were present. After serv-
ice the body was taken home for burial
| by his relatives.

The delay in the repaving work on
Broughton street is an Inconvenience to
the street railway, as it is unable to use
the tracks there until the pavement has
peen completed. The very high rails
lald there being intended especially for
paved streets it is necessary thatsthe paw

necessary for the railway company to have
