PENOGRAMS.

Adversely is the best hone to sharpen
the scythe of life.
The amendments to mans life are
sometimes too heavy for his con.
stitution.
1t is our humble opinion that Spain
should not Havana more time to re-
Cubarate.
The young man who is ambitious to
"Shine" in this world should very prop
erly begin at the foot.
Enforced absence from the active
world lends greater enchantment to
it than does distance to the landscape.
The man who shaveS three times a
week is strong believer in not letting
his whiskers know what his mustache
kisses.
The hardest affections to bear are
nearly always the ones that we de-
llberately and willingly impose by our
own foolish actions.
Prithee, brother, list whilst l similize
with the great authors of the day: Let
me make the sentences of prison and
you may write its laws and ballads.
You can never fully appreciate or
reach the heights of earthly happiness
until you sound the depths of misery
into which man forces man in the self
ish battle for worldly applause.
When man receives five years for
an offense for which another receives
only one, he does not repine at the
good luck of his fellow unfortunate,
but he is thenceforth an ardent admirer
of any medicine that will relieve dys.
pepsia.

TEXT OF WAR RESOLUTIONS
AS PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES
OF CONGRESS.

WHEREAS, the abhOrrent conditions
which have existed for more than three
years in the island of Cuba, so near
our own borders, have shocked the
moral sense of the people of the United
States, have been disgrace to Christian
civilization, eliminating, as they have,
in the destruction of United States
battleship, with 266 of its officers and
crew, while on friendly visit in the
harbor of Havana, and can not longer
be endured, having been set forth by
the President of the United States in
his message to Congress, April IL, 1898,
upon which the action of Congress was
invited; therefore,
RESOLVED, by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
of America, in Congress assembled:
1. That the people of the island of
Cuba are, and of right ought to be,
free and independent.
2. That it is the duty of the United
States to demand, and the government
of the United States does hereby de
mand, that the government of Spain
at once relinquish it's authority and
government in the island of Cuba and
withdraw it's land and naval forces
from Cuba and Cuban waters.
3. That the President of the United
States be, and he hereby is, directed
and empowered to use the entire land
and naval forces of the United States
and to call into the actual service of
the United States the militia of the
several states, to such extent as may
be necessary to carry these resolutions
into effect.
4. That the United States hereby
disclaims any disposition or intention
to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction, OF
control over said island, except for the
pacifcation thereof; and asserts its
determination, when that is accom-
plished, to leave the government and
control of the island to its people.

SUNDAY MUSINGS.

The supersensitive man has hard
row to hoe in this world, more espe'
cially when circumstances prevail to
induce temporary seclusion from the
expanding influence of freedom. Under
ordinary conditions of life sensitive
ness is a virtue when guided by noble
mind that has due regard for the
feelings of others. But supersensi-
tiveness is a vice-and a silly one-in
any degree of life, in freedom or in
SCI. uSIOn.

A man undergoing enforced conine-
ment generally has severe trial to
avoid reaching the degree of sensitive.
ness that makes of it a vice. In his
condition it is customary for him to
feel that every mans hand is against
him, and, though centuries of Chris
tian civilization have done great deal
to ameliorate the condition of the
criminal tickets drawn in the lottery
of justice, he still finds ample excuse
for convincing himself that friends
are as scarce as warriors among spout
ers of lingo billingsgate.
TX
This very thought is the strongest
symptom of aggravated sensitiveness,
for, if one believes that all men are
against him, the effect upon his nerves
will be just as bad as though there was
a regiment of Bluebeards ready to
thwart his every effort in life. You
can never have assistance or any de-
gree of comfort from this world unless
you believe in the honor and friend
ship of your fellowmen and even of
those whom you may consider enemies
for the only reason that ones own &C.
lions place him temporarily in their
control.
*x*
In the seclusiOn incidental to pun
lshment one is apt to keep the fire of
enmity smoldering, thinking thereby
that he is injuring others whereas the
only injury is usually to ones self. 1t
is no easy matter to avoid holding a
harsh feeling toward someone whom
you think is responsible for your incar-
ceration. But, however justifable the
cause for such feeling may be, it never
does one a particle of good while
here, and is generally the source of
endless worry if the vindictive banker
ing for revenge is encouraged.
Xxx
If a man happens to receive bodily
injury and is confined to his room, he
soon finds which position of the body
gives him most rest with least pain,
and he generally adheres to it as much
as possible. Now, he might cater to a
diseased imagination and satisfy vim
dictive feeling by constantly irritating
his wound. Will he do it? Oh, no;
the pain would be too much in evil
dence. If the pain was not actively
felt, he might probably rebel at his
subsection and vent his spleen on the
wound occasionally, just as insane
injured men have been known to tear

In the clustered life of a worldly
institution we are not unlike the man
confined to bed with serious injury.
A man here is moral invalid-he will
be looked upon as such and may as
well make the most of bad bargain.
If he cultivates supersensitive feel
ing his troubles will be legion. If he
continually frets about the injustice of
some one who by false or exaggerated
testimony caused or increased his pun
ishment, he will be like the craZed man
who tears open healing wound. 1t is
better by far to look at the matter in a
philosophical light and heed your own
mental comfort, as does the injured
man who secures most bodily comfort
by keeping in the position that tends
thereto.

l hear someone say that "such a

true, my friend; if such matters were
easy of accomplishment there would
be little virtue in them. One must

that tend to show the true mettle in a
man. And it is only by exercising
ones strongest will power that we can

In a recent debate in the English
house of commons, on bill relating
to the British prison system, Mr.. John
Dillon, M. P, said, in substance: "In
my opinion one of the greatest adj
vances in modern civilization has been
the discovery, due to the great human
itarian reformers of the early part of
this century, that the savagery of the
punishment was not a deterrent to
crime, and that in direct proportion to
the degree in which the criminal law
of the country had been mitigated in
vindictiveness and savagery so had
crime gradually decreased" There is
not an intelligent man the world over
who will gainsay this opinion of the
distinguished lawmaker.

A number of the boys have asked if
there is possibility of any inmates
being given their freedom on condition
of enlisting, should the difficulties with
the dons assume very serious aspect.
Quite number of the men here are
patriotic enough to go to the front on
principle, for higher cause than the
mere saving of part of term of
imprisonment, although it must be
admitted that this latter is consider
able of an inducement. Most of the
boys would gladly hasten to the fray
for the adventure and the opportunity
to regain freedom. But we do not
think there is likelihood of any state
taking such action. The stories about
prisoners in other states being or
ganized for the impending war are
but second class lies gotten up for the
edification of that numerous class of
readers who believe any tale, no mat
ter how improbable it may be.
