I was much surprised at the
{ criticisms given at our last meet
ing of the Pierian Circle on the
vocal delivery of the poem, "June. .
It naturally discourages the author
from being more liberal with his
p, contributions and therefore de-
prives him Of the benefit of prac-
tice, which is the fundamental
principle of the G. L. S. G. The
article. as are all Of his produc-
tions, was grand, and with practice
his vocal delivery will be as good
as that Of his pen.
It is all very we'll for those en-
gagged in politics or public life,
and consequently not troubled
with shyness, to critlclse an
author vocal delivery of the works
of his pen, and to maintain that
speaking in public is as easy as
lying, which it may be to them;
but literary folks are of more
modest temperament and the oper-
alton of clothing the naked
thoughts with words in public is
often as embarrassing to them as
would be that of dressing in pub
lie. They can manage business
letters not much more unsuccess-

aginary object, or, as it were, at
second hand, in the presence of a
third person! Romeo could not
have done it, nor even Swift,
though she could write finely on
a broomstick."
When you are writing, you can
refresh your memory of your last
sentence at glance, but it is pitt
full to have to ask somebody else,
"Where was L? Where am I?"
as though one were half drowned
or quite drunk. Moreover, there
are cases, if she be of the opposite
sex, when instead of ones dicta-
ton one can't help thinking of
the amanuensis. An authors
timidity should always be taken
into consideration, and not be
paraded by the hardened critics,
who may be of the class referred
to in the first part of this article.
Do not understand me to say
that you must not criticise, but
do it in a mild manner without
casting reflections on the authors
early training. Give him chance
and he will, after becoming used
to speaking in public, correct his
own faults. It is all right to take
fall out of the critic, as ex-
pressed by one of our members
but leave the author alone.
MAHNUD.

The commissary had received
new supplies, and among them a
few barrels of molasses. Old
Hank was placed on guard, to
prevent the boys from getting at
it until the proper time. Seeing
no one around as he paced up and
down, he concluded he would en-
JOY the sweets of life and succeed
ed in picking a hole in one of the
barrels with his bayonet. Then
dipping his gun into the molasses,
he would draw it out and transfer
the liquid to his mouth. The
captain happened along, and see-
ing Hank in the act, reproached
him in strong language for stealing
molasses over which he was placed
in charge. Old Hank was over
come with fear for moment, but
his Irish sense Of humor came to
his rescue, and, quickly recovering
himself, he quickly pushed the
blade of the bayonet into the
liquid, took taste of it, and then
broke the silence by saying: "Sure

ROAST

81 Written fer The Prison Mirror.
There is in this world class Of
disgruntled, pigheaded individuals
who are never contented or salts
fed with themselves or anyone
else. A class who like a pair Of
bagpipes are everlastingly spout
ing wind, wind and wind Of a very
foul order. This class is generally
known as the "kicker' and no.
where on Gods footstool can he be
found in such abundance and with
so little excuse for giving way to
his wind bag propensities than
d. behind prison walls.
The kicker has been and al
ways will be his own worst enemy,
most damnably disagreeable to
himself and all others with whom
he comes in contact he becomes at
last an object avoided and .disliked
if not actually hated by every one
including his own "onorous' self.
Always with a tale of woe on his
tongue tip ready to pour into an
unwary ear; never for a moment
seeming to realize that his un-
willing victim may have worries
and troubles of his own greater by
far than the petty rantings of the
kicker" he nevertheless con-
tinues to grunt and squeal until at
last he finds himself as deserted
and solitary as though he were the
sole inhabitant of a desert isle.
Though this incumbering scum
also exists in the world at large,

it is not to him the writer wishes
to refer, but to the "iron- jawed'
ignoramuses who will persist in
annoying his fellow unfortunates
in durance vile.
The "kicker'' selects no one in
particular on which to vent his
spleen, but everybody in general
comes in for slap from his nasty
tongue. He may talk to you of
some one in all show of confidence
and friendliness and at the very
first opportunity pick you to
pieces in some one elses ear,
showing what a low-minded,
double-faced cur he really is. He
might be called gossip or scan
dial monger, but years of expert
ence among such yellow pups
have taught me that they are one
and the same.
The KICKER is also a coward
of the most cowardly type. 1t is
always such mouthings as his that
cause trouble, and he likewise is
always first to blubber and whine
when the effects Of his utterance
result in disaster. Among those
| who know him not he presents a
! brave front and his brag and
buster fill the uninitiated mind
with wonder how he with his fire
eating proclivities could ever have
been captured much less confined
within prison walls. But soon ali

the trees, and old Hank, grabbing
his gun, started after his compan-
ions, who by this time had come
out in the clearing, and to avoid
the deep dust of the road were
marching along close to rail
fence. Old Hank came flying by
in the middle Of the road, and as
he passed, the captain yelled:
"Say, Hank, I thought you would
mt walk another step today?"
Thunder and lightning! Cap, do
you call this walking?" answered
Hank as he ran by at double
quick gait.
Old Hank was on guard one
winter night, his shoes were pretty
near gone, his army coat thread
bare, and as he paced up and down
he began TO muse in this fashion:
ooh! yes-I love my country, yes
I do. But just look at these
shoes-just see this overcoat-nice
outfit for Uncle Sam to give a
fellow. Oh! yes-I love my
country, yes I do, but I'll be ding

One of General Grants favorite
war stories was about old Hank
Lincoln. The humble old general
in telling this would roar with
laughter. Old Hank was from
Wisconsin, Company l, 18th Regi-
ment, and was brave fellow, but
fearfully lazy.
On one occasion during long,
dusty march on a hot summer day,
toward four o'clock in the after
noon, while marching through a
bit of timber country, old Hank
could not resist the temptation to
sit down on a log and enjoy the
shade. His captain spoke up,
urging him to come on. Old Hank
threw down his gun and replied:
Captain, I'll be DANCED if I walk
another step today The captain,
knowing old Hank thoroughly,
answered, "all right" and the
company kept right on over the
brow of neighboring hill.
Very soon bullets were heard
whistling through the branches of

he was formerly connected with the Car

force and effect of this denial are entirely
destroyed by the remarkable admission
which the attorney general makes i'm the
next sentence when he says: Il was

conduct or its manufacturing business
This language of the attorney general GER
tainly looks evasive from the fact that il
is currently believed the members of the
steel combination selected one of their
former attorneys for attorney general in
order that they might have a friend at
enforcement of the law against trusts.

reassure the people as to his desire and
intention to enforce the law against trusts.

which he says he does not possess? Will

persons who will produce evidence that will
lead TO the arrest and conviction of any
