1t is undoubtedly true, that if
person by fit of rage OF jealousy is
induced to kill himself, that it is the
reaction following an unfulilled desire,
which induces the rash act. The act is
merely result of his previous mental
state. This morbid condition may have
been caused from unknown sources,
but the surest protection is to acquire
strength OF character, in other words,
faith in the divine principle within
ones own soul, perfect knowledge
and belief, that, do what we may, we
cannot die. Alive we are, and alive we
must remain, either in the flesh of this
mortality or in the flesh of the "im-
mortal spirit" If you have done wrong
in this world, confess your sin, and get
forgivness if you can, and if you can't,
then suffer the penalty and so get done
with it, because if you do not get rid of
your sins in this world, then you will
suffer for your sin in the next. From
this positive fact there is no escape.

You'll have me, too, the side of you, with, heart
as light as air;
No care for where the road you takes a-leading
anywhere
1t can but be joyful jaunt the whilst you
journey there,
The road you takes the path of love- an that's
the bridth of two
And will walk with you, my lad-O! will walk
with you.
HO! will walk with you, my lad,
Be weather black of blue,
Or rOadsides frost or dew my lad
o! will walk with you.
AVE. glad, my lad, walk with you, whatever
winds may blow,
Or summer-blossoms stay our steps, or binding
drifts of snow;
The way that you set face and foot's the way that
1 will go,
And brave I'll be- abreast of you, the Saints and
Angels know,
With loyal hand in loyal hand, and one heart
made of two,
Through summers gold, or winters cold, it's
will walk with you.
Sure, will walk with you, my lad,
As Love Ordains me to-
To Heavens door, and through, my lad,
o! will walk with you

Would you apply for parole, would you
apply for pardon, would you apply for
freedom-then first be good man in
side. Do not scandalize your fellow in
mate, do not back bite your fellow in
mate, do not speak of your fellow
inmate in a way that will make him
feel bad. If you cannot do your fellow
inmate any good, do not do him any
harm. Remember he is here to suffer,
and no man may know the ghost or
sorrow hidden within the heart of your
fellow inmate. Speak kindly, truth
fully, and do your best to make your
fellow prisoner feel contented, and you
will be happier man. Do unto your
fellow inmates as you would like them
to do to you. This is the way to make
yourself worthy of parole, of freedom,
of pardon.-Ed.

Sad Recollection,

EDITOR PRISON MIRROR:-In order
that you may obtain more compre-
hensive meaning of the following poem,
will say, the thought suggested itself
to me in memory of one of the un.
fortunate ones, who, upon receiving his
portion from the family estate, entered
into life of dissipation, and finally
committed suicide at Monte Carlo.
THE LIVING WINE.
VICTIM:
Me thinks tits here that hath report,
Where doth take place, such wonderous sport,
Where all is love and gaiety,
In this enchanted society,"
Where spOrtive maids each season flock,
To exchange virtue, as common stock,
Ill bide me here, but for time,
That may enjoy the wOnderous cline.
But If perchance some friend I'll meet,
That Will me with rare pleasure treat,
I'll not deny such kindness lent.
FOR AM COME ON PLEASURE BENT
FALSE FRIEND:
Well day friend, hast time,
To taste with me an ancient wine?
When Adam awOke from mans first sleep.
He found Eve, "the wine," was truly sweet:
For it drove away his earthly care
And with 1t did Eve, his love, ensnare.

Prove Thyself A Man.

"Proof thyself a man, and the good
people of the outside world will assist
you to do right" Thus spoke an O. P
prisoner, while discussing the probabil.
ity of the people helping discharged
prisoners in regaining a foothold in
society. He further expressed his sin.
cere determination to prove himself a
man in the fullest sense of the word
and he knew the people would assist
him when they saw he was helping him.
self. We might say, parenthetically
that man is a model prisoner, with an
excellent prison record. He is not
waiting until he secures his freedom to
prove himself a man, but has started
early and is proving himself a man
While prisoner. Generally speaking
the prisoner who has an excellent pris-
on record, will make a good citizen.
Though he has been overcome with evil
under adverse circumstances, he realizes
that the time to prove himself man is
right now, while he is paying the pen
atty for his transgressions of the law.
His obedience to prison rules gains him
the good time allowed by law and the
favor of his keepers. His resolution to
be man reflects credit on his] personal
honor as prisoner and as a man. His
cheerfulness and good nature will add
materially to his personal comfort and
that OF others. AS in the every day of
the average citizen: so it is with the
prisoner. His life will be just what he
assumes to make it. The prisoner who
is busy, cheerful and good-natured,
obedient to the rules of the institution
and respectful in his demeanor to the
officials and fellow prisoners alike, will
proof himself man worthy of the as
slstance of his superiors. 1t will re-
dound to his own good. 1t will attract
to him the admiring attention of the
officials of the prison, and in the end it
will secure his release from prison. If
he lives in strict accordance with the
provisions of the law and sentence.
governing his case.
Therefore, if prisoner would be a
beneficiary of the influence and good
will OF unconvicted citizens, he must
first prove himself a man.-O. P. News.

The Disputed Alaskan
Boundary Line.

The announcement that the inter-
national joint high commission had
failed to come to an agreement upon
the questions submitted to it because
of the inability to agree upon a treat
ment of the disputed Alaskan bound
ary has not been surprise to those
who have been interested in the SUBJ
ject in the past and have been permit
ted to observe the claims made by the
Canadians interested in Alaska and the
Northwest Territories and their deter
mination to secure new boundary
that would give Canada harbors on
the coast of Alaska and enable her to
reach her valuable possessions in the
interior without being subject to
American customs regulations.
The question in dispute relates only
to that line which separates the pos
sessions of Great Britain and the Unit.
ed States along the strip of land belong
ing to the latter which extends down
the coast from the Alaskan peninsula
and shuts off the British possessions
from the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
This boundary line is described in the
treaty Of February 16, 1925, between
Russia and Great Britain, and was
mapped out by Russia shortly after.
Great Britain contends that the Rus
slams misinterpreted the treaty, and
that the true boundary line according
to the terms of the treaty should be
much nearer the coast and should give
several saltwater harbors on the Alas
kan coast to Great Britain, furnishing
free access through her own ports to
her possessions in the interior.-From
"The Alaskan Boundary Dispute from
an American Point of View," by Will
liam H. Lewis, in the American Month
ly Review of Reviews for August.

The entrance to the office of Chief
Engineer Jones is looking very pretty.
On each side of the door is single SUM-
flower of great strength and beauty,
each having one large bloom on top.
These flowers are nine or ten feet high.
The side of the building is decorated
with trained morning glories and other
shining flowers, whilst the beds of
flowers on each side of the door are
very beautiful. The blended colors
and great care bestowed on the plants
brings out lovely perfection.
