The following is copied from the

prison: "THE PRISON MIRROR saws

Wonder what's the matter with
their LOCATION? However, since our
comment appeared the Mentor
shows it's home to be at Charles
town, Mass.
So far as the business men and
permanent residents are concerned,
there is no other city of equal size
in the United States of as little
prominence as is the city of Wash
ington. Every item of news of
any character coming from that
city has to do with none but per-
sons who are either directly or in
directly connected with the af-
fairs of government of this or some
other country.
If people gave more thought to
regulating and conforming their
habits to the laws of nature they
would have less need of pills and
doctors and the world would have
a much healthier lot of people.
Few persons ever think seriously
along these lines, and with these
few it is not, as rule, until they
have reached or passed the merid-
ian of life, or become afflicted with
some complaint of a more or less
serious character.
One of the pupils of our night
school read an essay on Green
Houses" the other night and this
is what he says of them:
''There are three kinds of green
houses, namely, houses in which
plants and flowers are grown,
houses that are painted green and
houses that are built of green
lumber or timber. A Saltwater
man built a henhouse last spring
and the lumber he used had just
been cut from young, growing
trees. Consequently the lumber
continued to grow and the house
- now twice as large as it was
built. It is still growing and the
owner hopes soon to have sections
of a house or houses to sell for
dwellings,, but maybe it will hatch
a lot of henhouses.'
Speaking of pupils, one of the
exchanges recently said something
like this: The young man who
fools away his school days is doing
himself and those dependent upon
him in later years the greatest
injury. Somehow it is difficult to
convince boys of this fact, but it
comes to them some day in way
that makes an impression, tho in
many cases too late. The boy who
thinks he is getting even with
the teacher" or fooling his father
by soldering is only fooling him
self and ought to be placed in an
incubator to hasten the maturing
Of his head.

A great many people have such a
small stock of ambition and are so
accustomed to being "tired" that
it would be a difficult proposition to
attempt to convince them that lazi-
ness and inactivity are great OBJ
stacles in their pathway to success.
Too many people fail to sufficiently
realize the fact that energy and
activity are indispensable requi-
sites to the achievement of the
greatest success in any of the walks
of life. Nor should one permit
petty annoyances, disappointments
and defeats to discourage one, nor
to disturb ones equilibrium; but,
on the contrary, misfortune should
serve as an inspiration for one to
strive to develop greater capacity,
to press forward with renewed ef-
fort and determination to the at
tainment of victories even greater
than those for which one had
striven when defeat was victorious.

THERE lie general impression among all classes
that the crisis of the coal strike ia immanent 1t
may even arrive before this is in print It will ar
rive soon because there is no law in this country
stronger than the men who made it, and no law that
be evaded set at naught by few men, rich or
poor, when such action is opposed to public policy
Whether rioting and bloodshed will occur before the
conclusion of the strike, no can foretell. APP
pearances lead one to believe it will, 1t depends
largely upon the weather. There is danger of it,
not only in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania
but in the congested districts Of all the large cities
along the north Atlantic coast. The dwellers rim
New York's tenement district cannot gas to do
their cooking In most houses there is no gas to
use. They must have COAL and if they unable to
buy it they will mob the yards and steal it..
The conference at Washington last Friday,
while it crystalized public sentiment merely served
to widen the breach between the miners and owners.
It is impossible to read the statements of the latter
without being impressed by them. They are, on the
face of them, strong documents But if these state
ments based on facts, why do the owners refuse
to arbitrate? Arbitration does not surrender
of rights. It is simply referring the dispute to
disinterested third party and agreeing to abide by
his decision. The miners and several writer's who
have visited the district have repeatedly asserted
that much of the lawlessness for which the owners
hold the strikers responsible be directly attrb
uted to the coal and iron police, body of men,
recruited from the sums of Philadelphia, Pittsburg
and Harrisburg, responsible for their actions to
but the owners And the refusal to arbitrate cor
roborates this statement
However, the public has largely lost sight of
the merits Of the case. It demands fuel. It must
have it. And in way it will force crisis before
very long.

With freedom you know not his woe.
Hail to the cry, "Live and let live.''
Let mercy abundantly flow.
Why is the pris'ner not heard?
Let him without sin cast stone.

o list to his cry. He is bound
By prejudice unreasoning ties.

the merits of the case. It demands fuel. It must
have it. And in way it will force crisis before
very long.
DURING the last three or four months no less
than half dozen naval officers have committed
suicide. Captain Harrington of the Brooklyn navy
yard says there is an epidemic of suicide in that
branch of the service, but, curiously enough. does
not attribute single case to overwork. Worry has
been the invariable cause.
The most comprehensive and profound defni-
tom Of life evolved is probably that of Mr..
Spencer, who says Life is the definite combination
of heterogeneous changes, both simultaneous and
successive, in correspondence with external CO.
existences and sequences.
In plain everyday language this means that all
living things enabled to live only by continually
adapting themselves to their changing environ
ment OF course to do this with scientific precision
and exactitude is impossible. If men could abso-
lutey adjust themselves to every influence that
round them ill health would be vanquished at once
and life could be prolonged indefinitely But it
is possible, it is very common, to adjust ones
self to circumstances that great deal be got
out of life in characterization may be placed
When you see who makes the best of
things who tries improve his situation by rational
means, and who when he finds that for the present
he cannot better his lot, meets whatever there is in
store for him with good grace and cheerfulness-
when you see such man you see one who has come
somewhere adjusting himself to his environ
ment. And you declare him to be we'll balanced
You at once realize that he gets much more out of
life than he would if he spent his time fretting and
chatting at restraints he is powerless to remove.
Nothing gained by worry It ruins
health upsets reason abolishes rest and Sleep and
does absolutely no good to anyone. Furthermore,
it gets to be habit in short time There are many
persons who are surrounded by every luxury money
buy whose slightest wish is forestalled by loving
friends and relatives but whose lives burdens to
themselves and all with whom they come in contact
because they have drfted into the trick of worrying
every trife Psychologists tell that thought
the surface of the brain, that somehow the mind
works along these lines and that when they become
deep enough the thought that produced them be-
comes habitual. In most cases it is easier, at
least just as easy at first to make the best of things
as to worry.
We do not mean to intimate by this that man
should accept everything that comes along with
bovine stolidity. Quite the contrary. He should
be perpetually striving to improve himself and better
his condition; thinking, planning, living sanely, but
never worrying.
y, It was lack of balance, the inability to see
things in their true dimensions, that caused our
naval officers to do away with themselves It was
futile worry that was responsible for the mental
condition that made self destruction possible =
Again we say-don't worry. 1

CHICAGO people have recently learned that it is
not necessary to 60 south in order to find child
slavery. 1t has come to light that certain candy
manufacturers of the windy city not only employ
many children under the legal age but compel them
to work fourteen hours day. The matter has been
taken up by the Chicago Chronicle, which insists
upon the factory inspector doing his duty and
prosecuting the cases. Commenting on the matter,
the Chronicle says:
No doubt many of the children employed in
the mills at the south are overworked and it is
evident that all of them underpaid but SO far
has been reported to date they not asked to pro-
tract their toll far into the night. They may be
deprived of education of recreation of health and of
comfort, but they are not yet reduced to slavery.
