Parents too often drive children
into a position of enmity; or if
not that exactly, one that is de-
cidedly remote from friendship.
Now take the case Of the miss
ing jam. It really doesn't matter
the least bit in the world who took
the jam. It's gone. You, the
parent, know beyond shadow Of
a doubt just who took it. And
you know too beyond reasonable
doubt that the child will lie to you
about it; and under the circum-
stances [ can't blame him. But
instead of conciliating the child;
making it to feel on every possible
occasion that you are its friend,
you antagonize it by useless
promises of unheard Of punish
ments, and unnumbered trounc-
ings if he don't do thus and so, or
refrain from doing this, that or
the other.
Never ask your child question
when you know that the answer
will be a lie. Always accept it's
answer for the truth, even though
you know it to be a lie. This
may seem a strange thing to do;
but only by constant trust and
belief can you build up in it the
character Of sturdy truthfulness.
The immediate result doesn't
matter so much. Nothing will
ever encourage truthfullness so
much in a child as to always
make it think, that you think it
always tells the truth. Nothing
will encourage gentleness and
courtesy so much as gentle and
courteous treatment. The mother
often forgets to thank her child
for handing her the cissors; and
says "Mary shut the door, instead
of MARY, kindly close the door
for mama

man gets out of school and enters
the mad race for few thousands
of dollars, employing any means
short Of criminality to attain it.
He looses sight of the fact that
the only true greatness is the pa
tient effort of everyday life to
overcome obstacles.
Industry, patient effort, loving
kindness. They are the things
that make men great. The man
who, in his haste after his mil
lions, has forgotten to be kind; OF
who in his eagerness to succeed
has overlooked the pain of the
ones he has bruised in his path
through life, has made a failure
[ care not if his name be on thou
sand tongues; or shaft to his me-
mory in a thousand cities,
his name will always spell failure
The world may call him by another
name; but a name is nothing; and
the worlds says-so has nothing
whatever to do with a mans heart
and soul and conscience. These
are the true centers Of life. In
them we must all look for happi-
ness.
Under present conditions, not
every one can be rich, but every
one can be,-if not great-at least
in the way Of greatness.
Sometime this dollars-and-cent
standard of excellence for every
thing material and spiritual, both
here and hereafter will pass away:
and it will be happy time for
earth when it does.

No light has as yet been thrown
upon the disappearance of the IA
men of the boats crew Of the York
town at Baler. It was understood
that they we're going to the assis-
lance Of the beleagered Spanish
garrison. There is probability now
however that they we're surprised
and slaughtered by the very ones
to whom they were bringing sue
cor. The question we want ans
wered is: Why don't somebody

THERE IS a sad division of opin-
ion throughout this fair Yankee
nation as to the holiness of the pres
ent fight in the Philippines. Gen.
Lawton has said it is going to take
100000 soldiers to subdue the
rebellion; and no one seems to
doubt that Gen. Lawton knows
just what he is talking about. On
the contrary Ramon Reyes Lala,
whose home is in Manila and who
is a native Filipino says in a
letter to a New York paper, that
Aguinaldo cannot flee to the hills
of northern Luzon since the fierce
tribes there hate him bitterly; he
cannot go south because Of his
mortal enemies there; behind is
the Yankee soldiers and in front
the sea. The only thing [ can see
for Mr.. Aguinaldo to do is to go
straight up.
The boys who went gallantly
forth to the aid of bleeding Cuba,
and fought in the name Of liberty
and justice are getting rather too
much Of good thing; and as their
term Of enlistment expires they
will, it is hoped, be sent home
and mustered out. The finish Of the
Philippine puzzle no man seems
able to fOretell.

OF ALL the vicious tendencies
and errors Of children, the most
common and probably the most
difficult to combat is the tendency
to lie. In most cases they are
driven to it by the instinct of self
preservation, early in life. The
habit becomes fixed upon them, SO
that, when in later years the pride
or self respect Of maturity would
save them they find the habit fixed
and impossible to resist. When
circumstances arise which makes
it desirable to avoid some petty
annoyance, or to escape the meet
ing of some half contracted obi
cation, the habit of youth asserts
itself, and to escape immediate un-
pleasantness they tell fb.
There are, no doubt many moth
ers in the country who are grieved
and shamed very often, by having
their children lie to them. Now
[ want to say to those that no
child tells wilful lie from an
mate love of lying.
Every creature has some means
of protection against it's enemies.
It may be it's color as in the case
of the rabbit, which changes with
the varying season; or it may be
its speed, as in the gazelle, or it
may be it's odor as in the pole cat
or perhaps it is found in the con-
tinued proximity to its fortifi-
cation as the gophers, prairiedogs
etc; but what protection has a
child against the overgrown spe-
cimen Of it's own kind, who with
strap or birch rod in hand de-
mands, with big voice and stern
threatening brow, who it was that
ate the jam that is missing from
the middle jar on the top shelf?
1t is not at all surprising that
the child should lay it on the cat
although the seductive forage still
fingers on the corners of it's
mouth and between it's chubby
fingers. And you dear reader,
grown to maturity though you be,
would hardly stand the test. Just
suppose for a moment that some
person as high as church were
standing over you with a fence
rail in his hand and a frown upon
his brow, demanding to know,
instantly how that jam came be-
tween your fingers. Why you
would say the cat put it there, OF
any other foolish or impossible
thing to divert for a moment the
dire calamity And this is just
the foolish manner in which many
many children are driven into
lying.

THERE comes to our Office a
publication, usual adorned with a
very fine and imposing Autograph
of some millionaire. It is a very
neat and attractive pamphlet, and
at first [ used to regard it with
great deal Of respect not to say
reverence. [ soon found however
that it's name was no index to it's
contents. It's name shall be a
secret, and I will try to not say
any thing directly derogatory
about it, since there is one at least
of our boys who likes to read it.
The bulk of it's subject matter
[ soon found to be more or less
correct accounts of how rich men
had made their money. I think a
million is the mark of excellence
which entities one to a position as
a lay figure for those people; and
when one has attained that they
proceed to tell a gaping world
how easily it is done.
A publication that speaks of
nothing but the goings-out and
comings-in of milliOnaires: and
holds them up to the world as
ideal men, is leading the young
men of our country to think that
a certain number of thousands Of
dollars is the measure of all that's
desirable in this world; that it
constitutes all there is Of success.
True success is not measured by
dollars and cents at all. It is
something UNNECESSARILY higher
and better; above and beyond that.
Even our greatest thinkers vary a
little in their ideas Of what consti-
tuteS true success.
How many lives are ruined by
the mad race for a fortune. I do
not hesitate to say that one of the
greatest elements of failure in the
lives of many gifted young men
is the Impotence to arrive at ma
terial results. They weary of the
plodding duties of everyday life
while their minds eyes are fixed
upon a goal which is represented
by a certain number Of dollars.
It often seems to them that they
are going so very slow in their
chosen line of work, that they
want to get out Of it and try some
thing else-something that will
show more material results. They
have reared for themselves a wrong
standard of excellence. A young

THE MIRROR is weekly paper published

THE MIRROR is 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 home
newspaper; to encourage moral and intellectual
improvement among the prisoners; to acquaint
the public with the true STATUS of the prisoner;
to disseminate pathological information and to aid
in dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to fallen mans self-redemption.
The paper is entirely dependent on the public for
its financial support. If at any time there should
accrue surplus of funds, the money would be
expended in the interests of the prison library.
