A Protest.

In fit of patriotic exuberance, THE
MIRROR, in the last issue, stated that
the man who bought dollar badge, to
help pay the cost~of transporting the
18th MINI. home from San Francisco,
was 'true patriot"
In our opinion this encomium is
rather too valuable to be had so cheap
ly. The "true patriot" is the man who,
when volunteers were called for,
quietly enlisted, shouldered rifle and
went to the front or where needed.
Many man, who today conspicuously
wears dollar badge, would not under
any circumstances have gone to the
war, even had the country needed him,
and, in case of conscription he would
have taken the first train for the "Soo."
The dollar throw "true patriot" is
not the brand of patriot that places
new stars in our banners field or adds
lustre to those already there. True
patriotism at one dollar would be dear
at any price. ICoNOCLAsT.

was blue with curses-Sandy, of.course,
coming in for his share. Suddenly the
door was thrown open and in came the
Japanese Watchman. Being a cold
night he had both hands protected
from the air by placing them in the
wide sleeves of his kiminO. With
bowed head he shuffled along, the clack
clack of his japanese slippers or san
dals being heard during the intervals
occasioned by Shelburg's sparring for
wind. Straight in the direction of the
bed where the maniac lay he made his
way, deaf to the 'anati! anati!' (wait a
moment) of Sandy and the rest who by
this time were up and dressing. When
within about six feet of the bed he
suddenly came to the conclusion that
he was somewhat off his course, for he
turned and was quickly retracing his
steps, when one of the pitchers struck
him full in the back. He pitched for
ward and would have fallen had not
the Doctor, who had entered in the
meantime, caught him in his arms.
Fortunately, beyond a slight shock
he was uninjured. The Doctor on
hearing how matters stood, saw that it
would be necessary to regain posses
sion of the remaining pitcher at once.
With that end in view he cautiously
made his way in the direction of the
bed, hoping to draw the maniac's fire.
In this he was successful, for scarcely
had he moved in that direction when
the pitcher flew, missing the Doctor
and catching Sandy full in the stom.

lapsed. They quickly secured Shell
burg's hands in the muff once more,
and having done this, turned their
attention to Sandy who was trying to
regain his feet.
Although he had had a severe shak-
ing up in addition to which he had to
have several stitches taken in the
wound on his head, he still requested
permission to rejOin his ship, saying
that he did not mind brush now and
then with the enemy, but he'd be
hanged if he'd be made target of by
lunatics, armed with glass and china
ware. YORKTOWN.

An Execution.

IN st. Nazaire penitentiary in France,
they had some time ago two prisoners,
Getfray and Samson, convicted of mur-
der with intent to rob. They were
sentenced to- daa4sssss daGa.sssssss and as ne mercy
were shown to them by President
Loubet in the shape of cOmmutation
OF their sentence, they, with the I'M
common serenity very seldom shown
in such unfortunate and trying condi-
tlons, were calmly waiting for the end.
The last night before the execution
they were permitted to spend in COM
pany. On the fatal morning as the
legal authorities, police inspector,
priest and the eXecutioner, Leibler ir.,
came to the cells of the condemned,
they found their two coming explorers
of lnfinlty enjoying the most peaceful
sleep. Samson, aWaking first, shook
his comrade and said: awake up,
sleepy-head; now We'll go to the ball.
The Elder has said 'Non 1t shall take
place today" Then he exclaimed: ::
"Monsieur Inspector, the one last wish
of the condemned is always granted,
and [ wish to play 'ecarte' before l
place my neck on the block"
Cards and wine came forth; and
while the building of guilotine was 60
ing on, these two renegados sat by their
cards drinking and disappearing, with
out paying any notice whatever to the
unnatural noise coming from the ad-
Joining chamber of death.
When they were told that all was
ready, they promptly responded to the
call. Samson was the first to enter.
When the assistants of the execution
er made an attempt to bind him, he ex-
claimed laughingly:
"No! you rascals, do you think that
[ don't know how to place myself
there"
He crept to the block, and the axe
fell. AS Geffray's turn came, he en-
quired if Samson had died game.
Then he kissed the crucifix and en-
braced the priest. "Holy Father, pray
for me-" was his last and earnest re-
quest.
"He repented the last hour, may his
soul lie in peace" The words came
slow and solemnly, and while they
still fingered in the grim chamber there
came a cry, "My watch! my watchw
| IT. had certainlv disannearad Now
was remembered the lingering and
compassionate embrace of Geffray, and
sure enough the watch was found on
his person; he had stolen the priests
watch.
"He died in utter degradation"
gasped the priest. A. L.

JUSTICE TO ALL.

which, in many cases, returns them to
prison again.
Experienced prison men say that
"the habitual criminal is a migratory
animal" If such be a fact, it shows
the necessity of demonstrating him by
aiding him similar to the paroled
prisoner in obtaining a position and in
keeping him under control until he is
deemed capable of following the
straight and narrow path of honesty.
Idesire to say word with reference
to life prisoners. No matter what
their crime may be, there should be
some hope extended toward them.
Mankind is not more exalted than our
Saviour was, and yet He extended
hope to the vilest sinner on earth.
With reference to the term of life
prisoners in the many state prisons
there is no standard of justice. In the
barbarous prisons of the South, when
prison reform was in it's infancy, few
men are known to have served more
than fifteen or twenty years, who have
been considered as human beings at
all. In Missouri, fifteen years is con-
sidered long enough for any person
who may show by good record that
he has a penitent feeling for the past.
In conclusion [ would say, give all
persons who have erred chance to get
Alright with their fellowmen, as they
may with their God.

sO-called echo-man had taken his leave
and was now evidently stationed ready
to give the imaginary echo. The piece
began and we felt jubilant over the
way in which it was being rendered:
not a hitch or mistone had been
made. Finally we came to the part in
which the echO-man was to get in his
fine work. Our cornetist sounded the
bugle call and waited for the echo, but
we heard no sound; he repeated it, still
not sound. We must have turned
several shades paler and we could hear
our hearts beat; what could have hap
pened! All at once we heard a yell
amid the crashing of bushes and as we
where the sound had come, we
beheld our echo-man hatless and coat
less and his arms wildly beating the
air and his feet hitting mother earth at
such a pace that would have turned
Maud S green with envy. He rushed
to the pavilion and fell breathless to
the floor. We picked him up and sat
him on chair, from which he arose
with yell. 1t was fully twenty min
utes before we could ascertain his
trouble.
Can you imagine, reader, the sensa-
ton of sitting Unexpectedly upon a
wasp's nest? Our echo-man had Sc
lected nice log and had placed his
hat and coat upon the same and as we
neared that part of the piece in which
he was to sound the echo, to make
himself more comfortable, he sat
down. He was just upon the point of
placing his cornet to his lips when he
felt an awful stinging sensation under
the bosom of his trousers, and in a
second the air was a humming and
buzzing and he could feel sharp points
running into him as he ran.
[ can assure yon that it was at least
ten days before the "echo-man" could
place himself upon a chair with any
degree of comfort
"The Echo" was laid away upon the
shelf where probably it is even now
laying, for it has been impossible
thereafter to get any of the cornetists
to act as echo-man.

OratOrV.

America has more good orators than
any other country on the face of the
earth. This fact is due principally
to the democratic principles which
predominant in our form of govern
ment. In no other country are there
so great opportunities to acquire the
accomplishment.
Little oratory, though, has ever been
displayed in Congress. Many great
speakers have been members of Con-
gress, but their oratorical powers have
been displayed in other places than
the senate chamber.
The pulpit has its own form of
oratory which we may designate as
eloquence. Eloquence of thought,
speech, and address. America has
more eloquent preachers than has any
other country.
Every public speaker who aspires to
the title of oratory must strictly OBJ
serve the following: He must be self
possessed, and quick to catch the tenn
per and sympathy of his audience. He
must use skill and taste in the choice
of his language, using no uncommon
phrases; and yet he must not simplify
his language too much or his hearers
may consider their intelligence insulted.
He must have graceful delivery, and
above all sincerity of purpose. To
hold the American audience any
length of time there must be more or
less of humor, as nothing keeps the
speaker and audience more in touch
with one another.
The "spread-eagle" style should
never be INDUCED in. One can never
conceal his lack of knowledge or ideas
by rhetorical flights too lofty for the
occasion, and only succeeds in making
himself appear ridiculous.

The Ultimate.

Fair is the world, the sea, the sky,
The double kingdom of the day and night,
In mornings glow, in evenings shade.
And under dripping of the pale stars light
Still fairer life within our hearts,
The music of its meanings manifold.
The wonder of the senses thrill.
Existence by a conscious mind controlled.
Fairer and still more fair is love,
That like rivers star rejecting flow.
Draws heart to heart and life to life,
Bearing us to the sea we cannot know,
Love, lite, the worlds uncounted wealth,
Upon our hearts in vain at last must call.
And find them beating at their bars,
Helpless, unless the God be over all.

Since the adoption of the parole sys-
tenn in the prisons of this country, it
has been demonstrated to those who
advocated it's trial, that it is success,
as it reclaims from a vicious career
more than eighty five per cent of the
criminals who are eligible to its trial.
Now if the reformative results of
this system are so productive of good
among the class who may have offend
ed but once, why not have this parole
system include the entire criminal
class?
Assisting, aid and supervision, which
is the main feature of the parole sys-
tenn, would have a beneficial effect
upon the future of many an "Old.
timer" who at present is debarred tro m
the benefits of the parole system.
A person may have served three or
four terms in prison and not necessar-
lily be an habitual criminal. The old
timer may not have received the aid to
overcome his kleptomania habit that
is given to the paroled prisoner. Many
of the so-called old-timers who served
second or third term in prison, upon
their discharge, take the few dollars
they receive from the state and in the
exuberance of their freedom spend it
foolishly, and then sin again to obtain
necessary funds upon which to live,
