FROM CONVICT PENS.

The current issue of the Monthly Record, published by the convicts at the Connecticut state prison, was dis tributed to the members of the penal colony on Sunday. A life prisoner con- tributes this parody under the title of That Big Watermelon:2k b How dear to our hearts were the big
 watermelons.
 Those raised in our boyhood, down on
 the farm:
 Those big striped melons, those sweet
 luscilios melons 7 s&E Ns
 That grew near the cornfield back of
 the barn.
 It's often I smile at themere recollectio
 Of a mellon that weighed near a
 hundred at least.
 Of some boys and dog who evaded de-
 lection.
 When abducting the melon for an after-dark feast. ~ With minds that were filled with fond recollections
 Of sweet, juicy melons they'd eaten before:
 It was lugged for mile with anticipa- tions,
 To find the thing green from the rind tc the core!
 Oh, that overgrown melon, that green watermelon, Had only wet bunch of pith at the core:
 That confounded melon, that blank watermelon. Fairly made the dog howl while the rest of them swore. A humorous editorial entitled "Where to Get Candidate" takes this form: While the state is being canvassed SC thoroughly for a governor. which high honors no one seems anxious to accept we beg to state gentlemen, though this may be the last place you will think ot looking, we have here any quantity ot material, and warranted A runners; in fact nothing will prevent us from making the run of our lives but the sheriff and double-barrelled shot gun And of truth, we believe every man woman and child will try and see that we are returned. And we will guaran- tee good strong run and large follow ing at the round up, on the following program: Personally strong objections to long terms; holidays and banquets | fifty-two times a year; and if we should place ourselves in such a favorable light as to warrant return, let the people rise en masse and hang us.'' Here are a few of the squibs tha adorn the local page: If 1t were to rain porridge, some | men would be too lazy to hold out ( dish.
 When a lazy man looks toward heaven the angles pull down the win | dow shades.
 You can't drive donkey twice int I the same quicksand; with some of tn, 1 higher species, how different! "One of our contributors has sent il an article entitled "A Peculiar Con catenation of Psychic Phenomena" A

Theatrical managers are highly inter- ested over the instantaneous and tre- mendous success achieved by Denman Thompson and George W. Ryer's glori- ous play, "The Two Sisters" on the oc- casion of it's present revival, but. as a matter of fact, there's no cause for this surprise, for the play has always been extremely popular. It possesses that necessary something that goes right to the hearts and minds of intelligent au- diences and has possibly caused more favorable comment than any American play ever written 'The Two Sisters will be played September Il, F and 13 at the Grand Opera House.

Another scene that is a veritable triumph of the scene painters and electricians art is Harlem bridge, one of the city's engineering wonders, which is shown amid the binding blizzard of winters night. By means of an original electrical ef- feet the storm is shown at it's height raging about the lofty structure upon which the action of the scene partly takes place.
